Rock and Roll Never Forgets (The Rock and Roll Trilogy)

“Hello, beautiful,” Andy said.
Nathan watched. No one ever saw this side of Andy anymore, unless it involved her, and he smiled. It had been almost nine months since Beth passed away. Nathan worried for his friend in the beginning, for many reasons. Her death had been hard on him, but he’d had other struggles in the past and Nathan worried about that. He watched as he heard Andy ask how her day was, told her how much he missed her, and that he couldn’t wait to see her.
“Three more days,” he said. “I love you, too, bye sweetheart.”
He looked up and both men were watching him. “She just got in and she can’t wait to see me,” he chuckled. “Can’t help it, dang, I love that girl!”
Nathan was glad Andy had her in his life.

They stayed at the studio until after midnight. Marco left them, and Andy and Nathan went to the house. Andy hated even walking in the door, but it was almost a done deal. The movers would finish boxing up tomorrow. Everything but the studio was ready for the truck to take east. He worked out a deal with the new owners to convert the studio back into a garage if they would give him three months to break the studio down and ship the equipment. That gave them time to finish the album. Marco would still be going there to oversee things once the tweaking was complete.
“Want a glass of wine?” he asked Nathan.
“Sure,” he replied and kicked back in one of the reclining ends of the sofa.
Andy returned with a bottle and two glasses, poured, and then sat in the other recliner.
“You nailed that song. I know it wasn’t easy, but damn!”
“After Marco does his magic I want to release that one as the first single.”
“I hear ya. It’s good, man. Better than good… incredible,” he said, then added, “big hit, my friend, I know these things! So, where are you taking her this trip?” Nathan asked.
“I talked her out of Eleuthera…”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Barbara Stewart (1959 - ) was born in Baltimore, MD, and grew up in Pennsylvania, and the central east coast of Florida. She resides in the Jacksonville, FL area with her husband Gene and their fat cat, Kooky. She has worked in the electronics industry, and most recently in health-care. Barbara is a volunteer for the American Cancer Society, winning the Hope Award for volunteerism in 2009.
Her favorite musicians and songs brought on the “rock and roll fantasies” in her work. Sprinkled through her stories are humor and sadness based on experiences she has shared with family and friends. Those who have read her stories, and know her, tell her they ‘see and feel’ her experiences with them in the words on the pages.
Sweet Surrender (February 2012) was her first published book, and came from a challenge for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo ~ November 2011). Rock and Roll Never Forgets is her next/first book, she refers to it as ‘her heart’. The story came to life in 2003 when Andy woke her in the middle of the night and said “Hey! I’ve got a story you need to write!” The second book in the Rock and Roll Trilogy – When I Look to the Sky- will be ready for release in 2013.
