When Anjanette came home, she decided to ask her uncle about concert tickets. She asked, "Uncle Bruce, can I ask u something?" He said, "Sure, Anjanette. Anything." She said, "You see, this new band I was talking about, A Wave Tossed in the Ocean, is coming into town soon for a concert. I know u zei money has been tight lately, but it would mean the world to me, especially since I'd get to go with my friends. Can I go, please?" He said, "Well, I'll look at the ticket prices first." He looked online. He said, "They do seem awfully expensive. I'm sorry, Anjanette." She sighed and said, "That's...

A few days later, Anjanette was walking her dogs Misty and Blitz through the park, with Tammy keeping them company. It was a slow, peaceful day, with Misty and Blitz stopping constantly to sniff at things, and Tammy often taking the opportunities to pet them. Tammy always loved playing with other people's pets even though she still zei she didn't think she was the right person to own one herself.
A voice called out to them, breaking the stillness, and the girls turned to see Ferdinand and Becky hurrying towards them.
"Girls!" cried Becky, before Ferdinand had zei a word, "you'll never guess...

Anjanette and her vrienden were hanging out at her house. They were having a sleepover. Ferdinand said, "You all should check out this new band. They're called A Wave Tossed in the Ocean." Tammy said, "That sounds interesting. Why did they call themselves that?" He said, "I'm not sure. Maybe they'll reveal that in their first interview." Becky said, "I like the name. It sounds very psychedelic." Anjanette said, "That's exactly what I was thinking." Becky said, "Good minds think alike." Ferdinand placed the record into the record player. It was a wonderful sound. Anjanette took a particular liking...

The older gentleman came into the room backstage. He gave a smile and said, "I enjoyed your performance tonight. It was very refreshing to hear the songs I grew up hearing. It's not very common to find young people interested in that type of music." Les said, "Thank you. Would u like an autograph?" The older man laughed. "No, actually, that's not why I'm here. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Henry, and I've always wanted to manage a band. u are so good, u deserve to be playing meer than just clubs." Charles said, "You mean we should be playing in large venues like theaters?" Henry said,...

The volgende 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 bas, 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 meer daring and fancy, Jimmy keeping time on his...

The volgende morning, Jimmy got a call from both Charles and Felix. He gave them directions to his home pagina 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 u don't want to wake up when you're sleeping good, but u 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 strand 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 gitaar King," he added with a little grin. "And you're good enough to be another...

I have gegeven 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. u 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, u have shown me what true friendship is. You've shown it in the way u 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 sjees, gig in front of an audience. As they were preparing backstage, Jimmy asked, "Are u 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 u have an ID,...

For the volgende two weeks, Les threw himself into practicing his muziek 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 of painful songs. His improvement inspired Jimmy, who sounded better than ever, trying out new and meer 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 u run away?" Les said, "Dad, I didn't run away. I moved out. There's a difference." His father said, "I need u at home." Les said, "No, u don't. If I stayed, we'd just fight all the time. It's not good for either of us." He said, "If u don't come home pagina 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, u 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 pagina 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...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and several of u 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 u like to listen to music? As often as I can.

2. Where do u listen to music? I listen in my study, in my bedroom, and in the living room. I don't listen to muziek 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 favoriete singer? I'd have to say Janis Joplin. I mean, I have a dog named after her.

4. What’s your favoriete band? I...

Hi, everyone. Antonia here, and I have even meer exciting news. I know u 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 jas 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 hulst, holly and Joplin. Of course, hulst, holly was partially inspired door the Christmas season and partially inspired door rock and roll pioneer, Buddy Holly. I called...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and for those of u who read my artikel that I geplaatst a few days ago, I know I zei that I had some big news that I would discuss in another article. Well, here it is.

This is really big for me and RocknRollSoul60 (Paul). For the past ten years, it has been our dream (and the dream of our families) to get out of the Bible Belt, and this year. It is finally happening. In May, we are moving to Colorado.

I know. Some of u are thinking, why Colorado? u see, my uncle and Paul's father work for the same company. They both got promotions, so they will be relocating to...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and I'm here to talk about my plans for 2021. My grandma always told me to never beat around the bush, so I'll just get straight to the point.

As I type this, in just a few hours, we will be in a New Year! I have so much in store for 2021! As always, I will be doing fan fictions. My first fan fiction will be a collaboration with Rubyrings (Layla). We agreed to do one after New Year's. We have not worked out all the details yet, so I'm not sure when the first part will be uploaded. All I will say is stay turned.

I will also be doing blogs again this year. I know you...

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and as usual, I'm giving my annual holiday gift of the must anticipated fan fiction trivia of the year. Without further ado, let's get started!

1. I almost titled the fan fiction where New Religion and the Radiant Terriers go on tour together, "New Radiant Religious Terriers: The Tour".
However, I felt that it would be better to titel it "Touring with New Friends", as it was very fitting, and the original is a bit of a mouthful.

2. When I came up with Anjanette's name, Layla came up with Ferdinand's name, as she felt his name had to be unique too.
I told her that the...

It was soon Christmas Day. John and Caryn woke up, and they immediately went to the living room. John said, "Caryn, I wanted this Christmas to be extra special for you. I know it didn't exactly go as planned, but it's still special in its own way. I hope u like this present I got you." Caryn opened her present. It was a painting of her dog, Georgia, and John's dog, Thunder. She said, "Oh, John, it's beautiful!" He asked, "Do u like it?" She said, "Oh, I love it! Where did u get it?" He said, "Allen has a cousin who does paintings of pets, so he helped me get in touch with her." Caryn...
