RYDER

“Goodnight, Boston.” I waved at the audience in our second city and threw my pick into the audience. This would be our last performance before heading overseas in a couple of days. The kids’ performances for the three U.S. shows brought them to the spotlight, and we hoped it would increase their fan base even more.

They didn’t need us to help out with that. Their music spoke for itself. The fact they had a look all women craved and a sound all fans loved didn’t hurt either. The music and lyrics drew the fans in, too. They were written from the heart and told of the old tropes and issues listeners desired.

Walking to the wings, I spotted my favorite photographer talking to my favorite A.D. members.

“The show sounded fucking awesome, Ryder. Hell, we all knew it would.” KeeMac patted me on the back. I didn’t need his validation, but it made me feel great to know an up-and-coming singer and songwriter appreciated our sound.

“Thanks.”

“Yeah, Ryder. Y’alls’ fans go crazy for your new stuff as much as your old music,” Chandler added. “We can only hope that we develop fans who’ll follow us for a lifetime.”

I looked up at her. My daughter’s beauty mimicked her mother’s in every way both inside and out. “Thanks, Chandler. I appreciate hearing that from you youngsters in the business.”

KeeMac stuck his chest out. The boy’s actions reminded me of all of us when people called us young. He’ll get a thrill out of it when he turns forty. “We’re not some punk-ass youngsters anymore, Ryder.”

“Get your feathers back under control, Leghorn. I only meant that you’re younger in comparison to Steel.”

“Yeah, that’s for damn sure, old man.”

I turned in time to see Chandler slap his abdomen. “Don’t worry, Dad, I got this under control.”

“Is that right? He calls me old again, and he’ll see how fast I can drop his ass.” I popped him on the back of the head.

“Hey, one hit’s enough. I get it.” Chandler and I shared a smile.

“I’m thinking you don’t since we’ve been down this road already. I’m not old, and you’re not young. I get it.” I reached down and grabbed G’Anna’s free hand where she stood watching the sparring. “You agree with me, G’Anna?”

“Don’t get me between the two of you, but I’ll be here to get the money shot when you knock him in the dirt.” She snickered at her comment but held up her camera that hung from the neck strap.

“Well, damn. I thought you were here to snap fucking photos of hot musicians to sell to magazines and make those cool millions. I didn’t realize you needed abuse to make the money.” KeeMac’s joking tone kept the conversation light as we made our way to the backstage after party. “Shit, get a good pic of my babe kissing her favorite fucking rock god.”

As he turned to finish his statement by lip-locking with her, she stepped forward and kissed Ryder on the cheek leaving the cocky boyfriend bewildered.
