Everyday, I tell them the same thing. “I am an old man,” I say, “I have no story that will interest you.” In the years since the event, not once have I uttered words about the shoes.

floor. It seemed-beneath him, somehow. I had never thought about it before, had never been forced to, but I suppose I had always put jazz musicians in a class with what Daddy called ‘good-time people’” (Baldwin 1749). It is not until the end of the story that the narrator agrees to attend one of his brothers shows and comes to understand that his brother is no longer a boy and has truly found something the he enjoys doing, “Sonny’s fingers filled the air with life, his life.
