Friday, I really didn’t think about what was going on. It was one more tedious day at work, so that helped. It wasn’t until Sarah asked me if I had heard from Andrea yet when I got home. It’s really unlike me to NOT fixate on even minor things, so this is really an indication of how serious I thought this was. Saturday morning we went out to buy a new lawnmower. When we got back home there was a message on the machine from Andrea, saying she had some good news about the CD. So, I called back but got her machine and left a message.
She finally caught me around noon. She gave Amy the CD at the meeting on Friday. Afterwards she drove home, where there was a message from Amy, saying, “oh my god, I love this CD!” Andrea said she hadn’t heard Amy that excited in a long time. She was surprised, too, because Amy isn’t really a pop fan, she listens to a lot of punk. Saturday morning Andrea was trying to get my phone number, and then had to go out. When she got back home there was another message from Amy on her machine, saying, “oh my god, I love this CD!” Amy wanted to talk to me before she left for Europe on Tuesday, which was why Andrea had been trying to track down my phone number.
I’ve met Amy a couple of times, when I was still in the old band. She was always very friendly and had nice things to say about us. She sent our drummer a really nice card once, with a long note about how she thought we were a special band, and she gave some advice on how to go about things in general. It was really very kind.
Anyway, she called Saturday around 2pm. She couldn’t really talk because she was in meetings all day, but she wanted me to know that she really loved the CD. Apparently she had been listening to demos all week, and she had heard some good stuff, but mine was the only one that had jumped out at her, and sounded like it was finished. She said she was excited about the prospect of doing something, and she’d call back Sunday at noon to talk with me about it.
Still more to come…
