I like this one a lot. One little thing: if Zach is British and he doesn't want Jay harrassing him about Katie, would he not want her old man on his 'arse'? I had a friend from Edinburgh inform me that an 'ass' was a donkey.

"And Whistlepig had behaved just like a growing child – minding its parents, following the rules, and then, upon reaching adolescence, turning and biting the hand that fed it."

Love this line! And the Freebird line too, but was it common practice to shout this at that point in time? (I've been to several Skynryd concerts and it always irritates me no end for some jackass to shout "FREEBIRD!" before the first song, because, if the band were to comply, the concert would consist of that single song.)

"She sang for one man, and one man only; and he’d never seen her perform."

Fantastic.

I like this version much better. Losing the student body president was a good move, distracting from what's important, Katie and the band.

Excellent work!

Oh, man, you're right! Thanks for pointing that out. I totally missed it!

Yep, Free Bird was hollered at concerts then. I checked before I wrote it, 'cause I really wanted that in there. *G* (When I saw Jimmy Page & Robert Plant in 1995, people were yelling "STAIRWAY!!!!" the minute the show started. I was like, "Are you people crazy? I wanna hear Kashmir!")

Thank you so much, Debi! I was able to take most of what I deleted from the first version, and am working it into when Whistlepig gets to L.A. and meets up w/Shadowed Knight, so it worked out better all the way around!

Hugs,

Stage fright isn't all that uncommon, actually. Regina Spektor was almost an hour late to her Savannah concert because of overwhelming nerves. I think it fits Katie very well, actually.
