(3) 4-6 Photographs by Valorie Fisher. Moxy's piano recital is imminent, and her teacher fears that she'll perform "Heart and Soul" endlessly (Moxy: "If I play it the regular way it doesn't give me much time to be onstage"). As in the aptly named Moxy's first two vehicles, the omniscient narrator is hilariously dominating. Intentionally inexpert black-and-white photos, ostensibly taken by Moxy's twin brother, enhance the humor.
