Some ponies do make it their career, however. And one of those is lurking in the Decanter's little backstage area, casually sipping a drink while he reads through the latest scroll posts. Harvey is not one for pre-show jitters, at least not on a routine performance like this one.

"Good show," he remarks as Velvet returns after her set, rolling up the scroll and standing to greet the mare. Mint Julep told him they were havin' a new girl on tonight, but he was talkin' with Flare before the show and didn't get a chance to introduce himself like he wanted. "The name's Harvey Finevoice," he says, offering a hoof. "I sing here most weekends, when I ain't travelin'."
