35 A little while later Sonny and Mama heard cheering and clapping
in the street. Then someone knocked loudly on the door.
36 “Mrs. Comeaux, I sure am pleased to meet you.” Smilin’ Jack,
trumpet in hand, bowed to Mama.
37 “Well, I’ll be! I thought my boy had gone full-moon crazy,” Mama
said, hardly believing her eyes. “I sure love your music, Smilin’ Jack.
I surely do.”
38 Before Mama could say another word, Smilin’ Jack pulled the
bucket toward him, raised his trumpet, and started blowing one of
Sonny’s favorite songs, “Bourbon Street Rag.”
39 The house and the street were soon filled with people. There
was more food than Sonny had ever seen at one time, enough for
everyone who was busy clapping and singing and dancing.
40 All the neighbors had come to the party! Sonny saw the LeBlanc
twins running through the crowd. And he saw the oldest woman in
the neighborhood, Mrs. Clairveaux, sitting in a chair, tapping along
to the music with her cane.
