playing trombone in the cow pasture — Cows are sentient/sapient beings, they will acknowledge humans when they see fit. Cows enjoy psithuristic compositions, the sound of wind moving through the leaves of an oak. Cows like the trombone, immensely. When brother Wilson visits the pasture they gather together.

Playing for free.
