act 1, scene 1 mother and daughter, driving in rush hour traffic, music plays on the radio
chellam and mom enthusiastically and loudly, if somewhat inaccurately, sing along to 'jukebox hero'
act 1, scene 2 mother and daughter, at the dining table, settling down to some post dinner work, the first bars of music float out on mother's computer
mother - chellam, what music's that?
chellam - eyes flicking up from her book to an empty space on the wall in front of her
mmm...that's not jazz... it's blues. naice! who's the guitarist?
mother stops just short of throwing herself across the table and smothering chellam with hugs. homework and other work is forgotten for a few minutes as mother and child talk about blues guitar and stevie ray vaughan
