Once Una and Everett finished acting out their story, they relaxed in their fort for a bit. Una said, "Thank you for this, Everett. This brought back a lot of memories." He smiled and said, "I should be thanking you." She asked, "What do you mean?" He said, "You helped me let loose and have fun. This is the most fun I've had in a long time." She said, "That's why it's important to embrace your inner child." He said, "I think so. Speaking of embracing your inner child, we should go out for pizza, and afterwards, we should get some ice cream." She said, "That sounds like a plan to me." They did just that. They even got rainbow sprinkles on their ice cream. Once they returned to their hotel room, Everett asked, "Should we put everything we used for our fort away?" Una said, "We could sleep in it." He said, "Yeah, we could. There's no one here to say we can't." She said, "That's the spirit!" With that, they changed into their pajamas. They relaxed in their fort for a while before finally going to sleep.

BingoPB This is really sweet. I like how Una taught Everett to embrace his inner child.

80smusiclover1 I echo what Kayla said.

Rubyrings I love that too! It gives our story such a nice message.

60smusicluv It does give the story a nice message.

Roldan13 Indeed.

RetroRock64 Yeah, yeah, yeah!

RocknRollSoul60 I'm glad Una and Everett are still having fun.

Peaceandlove67 Thanks, everyone.

The next weekend, the boys were at their club again, but this time with a few differences. When the curtain opened, it was to reveal a band of four at their instruments, poised and confident and ready to play. And that wasn't the only new thing. During the week, Jimmy's dad had agreed to go get the front of his son's bass drum painted. The drum now proudly displayed the group's new name.
Les started them off with a riff, and the others followed right in, Charles and Felix keeping rhythm and sometimes playing off each other and doing something more daring and fancy, Jimmy keeping time on his...

The next morning, Jimmy got a call from both Charles and Felix. He gave them directions to his home so that they could have a jam session. Jimmy went into the guest bedroom, where Les was sleeping. Jimmy shook Les at the shoulder and said, "Les! Wake up! Charles and Felix are going to be here soon." Les let out a groan. Jimmy said, "I know you don't want to wake up when you're sleeping good, but you want to be awake for a jam session, don't you?" Les opened his eyes and got out of bed. After a quick breakfast, they heard the doorbell ring. Jimmy's mother answered the door. Charles and Felix...

Les and Jimmy were walking along the beach talking about their performance and how well it had gone when they heard footsteps running up to them and turned to see two boys about their own age, one who looked a little older and one who looked a little younger.
"Great show, guys." The boy who looked older put out his hand and smiled. "We were in the audience. I'm Felix."
"I haven't seen an act this good in a while," the younger boy added. He, too, put out his hand, and shakes were exchanged all round. "I'm Charles - the Guitar King," he added with a little grin. "And you're good enough to be another...

Special Birthday Message for Antonia 🎂

posted by BingoPB

I have given this some thought, and I decided to write a special birthday message for my friend, Antonia. Because she is a special friend, she deserves a special birthday message. Without further ado, I'll get started.

Antonia, we have known each other since December 2015, when I had my old account, ChiliPepperLuv. You were sixteen, and I was nineteen. It seems like just yesterday when we were both teenagers. Where has all this time gone?

Over the past five years, you have shown me what true friendship is. You've shown it in the way you think so highly of your best friend, Paul. You've shown...

The big night finally arrived. Les and Jimmy were going to be doing their first gig in front of an audience. As they were preparing backstage, Jimmy asked, "Are you nervous, Les?" Les said, "Maybe a little." Jimmy said, "I'm sure you'll be fine. Don't worry about what your dad said, all right?" Les said, "All right." Meanwhile, a boy about their age was attempting to enter the club. He was very dreamy. A lot of girls liked him, but sometimes his young face made it hard for people to take him seriously. The security guard said, "You have to be eighteen to enter this club. Do you have an ID,...

For the next two weeks, Les threw himself into practicing his music with Jimmy. He poured all the mixed-up feelings of starting a new life and worrying about whether they might succeed into his playing and singing, and even he could tell the difference in the amount of passion coming through, especially in the sad or painful songs. His improvement inspired Jimmy, who sounded better than ever, trying out new and more creative beats on his drums. Jimmy sometimes also talked and cracked jokes to an imaginary audience between songs. Venus and Mars remained the only audience to hear this, with Mars...

Les reluctantly took the phone and said, "Hello?" His father said, "Les, please come home. Why did you run away?" Les said, "Dad, I didn't run away. I moved out. There's a difference." His father said, "I need you at home." Les said, "No, you don't. If I stayed, we'd just fight all the time. It's not good for either of us." He said, "If you don't come home now, I'll call the police!" Les said, "Go ahead. Tell them your eighteen-year-old just left home. See how that works out for you." His father said, "Yes, you are eighteen. That means it's not child abuse if I beat the shit out of you!" Les...

Les went back to his father's house only long enough to pack up his Les Paul, his record collection, and a number of other essentials and favourite possessions, and then he left. Luckily, his dad wasn't home. His father often worked late, and would always impressed upon Les the importance of doing so, even though he was usually in a worse mood when he came home after working too long. Les wondered if he should bother leaving a note. There was nothing he really wanted to say to his dad, but then, if he didn't say anything his father might try and look for him, and Les didn't want to deal with...

As Les cried, Jimmy placed a hand on his shoulder. Jimmy's dogs, Venus and Mars, came to comfort Les. Venus and Mars were both mixed breeds. Although they looked intimidating, the large, wolf-like appearance of both of them was the only intimidating thing about them. They were very affectionate with those they knew, especially Jimmy and his friends. They were wary of strangers, but they were not at all aggressive. Les asked, "Why does my father hate me?" Jimmy said, "I don't know, Les." Les said, "My mother loved me. Why did she have to die?" Jimmy said, "I know, buddy. She was taken from you,...

Les's fingers flew across the fretboard of his beloved Les Paul as he played along to the riff from "Day Tripper", which was playing over on his computer screen. Sitting on his half-made bed, he nodded his head to the music, unaware of anything else as the melody flowed over him. His hair flopped into his eyes as it often did when he was playing guitar, but he hardly noticed.
The song ended, and Les opened his eyes and grinned. That had been his best playthrough yet. He had been practicing a number of sixties and seventies rock songs for months now, and he only got better at them. Les glanced...

Questions for Music Fans part 2

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and several of you have done this questionnaire. I decided to do this one as well. I thoroughly enjoy doing these questionnaires. With that, let's begin.

1. How often do you like to listen to music? As often as I can.

2. Where do you listen to music? I listen in my study, in my bedroom, and in the living room. I don't listen to music in my bedroom as much right now, because my puppy, Joplin, is too little to go up and down the stairs.

3. Who is your favorite singer? I'd have to say Janis Joplin. I mean, I have a dog named after her.

4. What’s your favorite band? I...

More Exciting News

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hi, everyone. Antonia here, and I have even more exciting news. I know you all have been waiting for eight weeks for this news, and I am finally sharing this with you. I got a new puppy!

My new puppy is a Gerberian Shepsky like Roscoe. She is actually his half-sister, shared mother. She has a blue-gray coat and light brown eyes that have a green haze to them, just like mine! I named her Joplin, after Janis Joplin. I was actually torn between Holly and Joplin. Of course, Holly was partially inspired by the Christmas season and partially inspired by rock and roll pioneer, Buddy Holly. I called...
