EXCERPT:
. . . I remember when I first paid true attention to her.
She had been there all along, hidden behind a bland misfit mask, but now she
was taking on a different look, and that’s why I noticed her. I had a different
look too, and it was the music that changed us, that brought us together like a
magnet to steel.
I had on my blue jeans with the big cuffs, deep enough
you could have kept your lunch money in them, had on a tee-shirt with the short
sleeves rolled up to show what biceps I had. In that area, I needed a little
work, but listening to the radio, to that hard-driving music, had turned me
bold, made me want to look like my heroes. I had my hair slicked back with
enough oil to lube a bone-dry Buick transmission, duck tail lifted up in the
back, not to mention some wispy sideburns.
There Belinda was, coming down the hallway in her dark
teal, half-sleeve swing dress with white fringe at the bottom and on the
collar, her flame-red hair, mounded up and flared out wide, the collar fringe
swishing across her sun-kissed collar bones, as she walked in men’s lace-up
shoes. Instead of a purse, she had a guitar, an old, worn Martin D-45 with a
leather strap . . .
