Past, Present and Future

Are We Getting a New Drummer?

Alright, so I woke up to a cryptic message on my answering machine. When I played it, all I figured out was that it was from Eric and he needed me to call him back. Making sure I had coffee and breakfast first, I then called him back but got no answer. 

Determined to find out what was going on, I finished breakfast and was getting ready to head to Eric's place when he knocked on the door. We talked for a long time and I finally determined he needed to quit because of health reasons.

I did shed tears of sorrow and unhappiness. I was going to miss my little curly haired ball of fire.

"Eric. let's go tell the other two. Bruce will definitely be upset."

At practice, Eric came straight out and told Bruce and Paul. They stood there open mouthed for several minutes. Finally Bruce burst into tears and left. Paul looked at me for answers but all I could do was shake my head.

Eric went after Bruce while Paul and I talked over how to go about getting another drummer. He suggested his solo tour drummer, Eric Singer, so I agreed. Boy was I in for a shock. I wasn't expecting the blonde, blue-eyed hellcat I would soon experience.

After Eric went into the hospital, I met the second Eric. He eyed me up and down before cracking gum and announcing he would have me bedded in less than a week's time.

This of course cracked Paul up immensely and even made Bruce smile. I rolled my eyes and replied, "I seriously doubt that."

He smirked and repeated himself. Lord I was in for years of grief with this one.
