Stage Fright! Heart and Soul #8sunday #snippetsunday

Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.

This is in Rowan's POV. Last week: Rowan worked closely with Jesse for the next hour as they wrote down the lyrics and band played.

***

Tristan had extra music sheets in his case, and he penciled in the notes. Phoenix wrote down when each musician should come in with his part of the song.

They were just finishing up
when Maverick popped in to see how things were going. She met him at the door.

"How do you like
them?" Maverick asked.

"They're good. I think they'll be a great addition the Merry Mayhem Event too. Hey, I never asked. You do have blanket licenses from the PRO's for the cover bands, right?" Since the band was adding a song they didn't normally play, she wanted to make sure.

(This is the end of 10 sentences. for Weekend Warriors. Continue for Snippet Sunday 300 words or less, if you wish. :))

He nodded. "Don't worry
I've got it all covered. I don't want to be sued any more than the musicians
do. 

"I figured you did, but I
had to ask."

He glanced at his watch.
"Thirty minutes to show time."

Ten minutes later, there was a line outside, and one of the guys who worked the cash register in coffeehouse collected the money for the show. The place was packed with people. The room smelled like freshly brewed coffee and sweet like toffee and cinnamon. The healthy portions of sliced cake and flavored coffee drinks were probably the reason. The lights were dimmed until the band took their places. When the lights brightened, she noticed that Jesse gripped the microphone as if it were a lifeline. The intro to the new Haley Rose song they had practiced began, but when it came time for Jesse to join in and sing his lines, he just stood there staring as if in a trance. She told them not to start with that song, but perhaps stage fright was something Jesse suffered on occasion.

About Heart and Soul...

80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31
1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a
thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose
would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing
80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the
woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back
reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?
