Lyrics to The Ericks and Melanies "Picture Show"
The Ericks and Melanies - Picture Show
Time is tall as trees we sit in
looking for some bones to fit in
empty words to sticky notions
poetry for familiar motions
pen-strokes waiting to catch our faces
sort them into fashion places
here we hang our knuckles white
cause from up here things seem alright

nested components
{{! QUESTION
How do I make the outer component send an attribute value into its sub-components,
or have the sub-components read from the parent attributes?
In the following example, the `multiple="true"` attribute changes the toggle group
to act like a set of checkboxes instead of a set of radio buttons, but the semantics
are more like an html 'select' menu.
<select multiple>
