Cyn
Board Bully
Let my daddy tell it, I came out the womb with rhythm, and if you really
get him to talking about it, he’ll tell you that my first cry was the sweetest
staccato his ears had ever been blessed to witness. He’ll say that he knew—
even then—that I was destined to be a musician, and that it was no surprise
to him when I began showing a propensity for recognizing notes and
immediately playing them back on the various instruments crowded in the
front room of our home from his years in a band way back before he met
my mama. While other babies and toddlers were banging on pots in the
middle of the kitchen, Marvin Thomas had me mashing on the pedal of a
bass drum and plucking at the strings on an electric guitar.

Although both of
my brothers were musically inclined, the art of making music was only
shared between me and my daddy. It was our thing. He instilled in me a
deep respect for composing and gave me room to allow music to just…be.
And then, on my tenth birthday, he presented me with a drum machine,
and that’s when everything changed for me.

Creating became an integral part of my day. It became a part of me,
making up the foundation of who I was. Being a musician was who I was
just as much as being a lesbian was, though I knew music sooner than I
realized my sexuality. With music at the heart of our bond, it came as no
surprise to anyone, let alone my mama, that I was a daddy’s girl. And
because my daddy and I were so close, he was the first person to know the
most important revelation. I was nine when I came home from a long,
draining day of being a fourth grader and rushed through my homework to
meet him in the front room.

That was our routine. Before I could lay hands on a single instrument, I
had to finish my tasks and check with my mama to see if she needed help
with dinner. The rules were the same for my brothers, and oftentimes I
would check in with my mama to find that Caleb was already chopping
vegetables or sifting flour.

We were tuning the guitars when I spoke up.
“Daddy,” I said.

“What is it, Star Shine?”
Star Shine was the nickname he’d given me at my infancy. He always
said that my mama was the sun in his solar system and I was the brightest
star. It was the only way he addressed me, and it brought a smile to my face
whenever I heard him say it.

“I got in a fight at recess today.”
In my peripheral, I watched as he stopped twisting a tuner and looked at
me.
