When I lived in Louisiana my favorite thing was picking blueberries to support my gallon-a-day habit. One day the orchard was closing but the voice in my head said stay a little longer. I argued with it, but it persisted. A little while later a car drove up and since I was the only one still there I showed them where the buckets were and how to pick. Two members of the family in the car became my friends, and one ended up designing most of my logos. This song is based on the numbers of her birth date.
