Why is There so Much of You?

The bands you are in are many.
How did you get so many bands?
Why are there so many people who want to work with you?
Is it because you are talented? Many people are talented!
Is it because you are flexible? Many people are flexible!
Is it because you compose like a champ?
How does a champ compose, anyway?

It seems like jazz players can be in bands
at the drop of a hat,
but maybe don’t call them bands
because that’s not the tradition.
Maybe it’s the naming convention that’s different here
and that’s all that’s different.
Are you a jazzbo in another’s body?
Is that what’s going on?
Why is there so MUCH of you?
Hey! Don’t run away when I’m asking you questions!
I’m asking you questions here!
