After years away from home, a Rock and Roll singer finds his way home for one show. While he's there, he meets and is seduced by an incredible girl. The only problem is that she's not the girl he loves. But is it a problem or an opportunity?A story of love found and love lost in a world of sex and Rock and Roll. Some material is not suitable for minorsEXCERPT:It was too much. The smell, the sound of the place hadn't changed even after more than twenty years.
Little things were different than I remembered but not much. I hadn't played a show in my hometown since I was eighteen. That was the year I headed off 'to make it' in the music business. I guess I did it. Some days I feel like I have, others.well, let's just say that some days I feel like I've made it. This morning I have a meeting with my first music teacher and his students. I'm supposed to give them some insight, some inspiration.
I feel less like a good example and more like a cautionary tale today. The saying 'You can't go home again' kept popping into my head. The last night I played here I signed the contract that started my career. It screwed me out of a lot of money but I used it to make a name for myself. It also meant the end of my band. Despite all the setbacks, I kept moving and kept working until I scratched out a life for myself.
Some of the gigs weren't much to brag about, but that's the way it is. I am the sum total of where I've been and what I've done. What bothers me are the people and places I left behind in the process. I left someone behind the last night I was here. That night I met an amazing girl who interviewed me for the local paper. She'd written a story about my band and wanted to follow up with me on the night the label signed me.
I wanted to follow up with her for my own reasons. We spent the night celebrating with the band and then capped it off with a night I'd never forgotten. Her name was Sonia. She had a soft, sweet, childlike voice and a body that was built for sex.
