The Birth Of A Song Ok…listen closely, now, as I open the door to my roll-top desk…sssklunk. Next, I slide out the drawer that holds my pencils…shoop. Then I grab some paper. But this isn’t drawing paper. And it’s not wrapping paper, or newspaper, or even plain ol’ writing paper. Nope…this is magical paper. It doesn’t look like regular paper.
