The book Joe read

My cousin Joe got a bass guitar for Christmas. I was really blown away when I heard him play. I asked how long he'd been taking lessons, and he told me that he'd never picked up a bass before!

Joe read this book in the morning.

He tuned up with Grandma in the afternoon.

And by sundown, he was playing this song flawlessly.
