Jack was back stage, he could hear the crowd cheering on his little Irish band to go on stage and play one of their songs. Jack, as always, was very excited to start, he loved this job, apart from the bar fights. It paid good money and Jack was able to be as crazy as he wanted to be.
He peeked at the crowd in the bar, it was more than usual, which was good...sort of. It meant he and his band would get paid more, but they'd have to play more, with shorter breaks, which left Jack exhausted by the end. Jack spotted a man about his age in the crowd, which would be nothing new, but he was new, Jack has never seen him here. Jack shrugged it off, "Must be celebrating." What Jack meant by that was, whenever young men came in they were celebrating them "Becoming real men" or in other words, old enough to drink alcoholic beverages. Jack got his fiddle out of it's case and got into position on the stage by his other band members.
The crowd cheered as the curtain rose, revealing the small band, the bright stage lights are something Jack will never get used to, he squint his eyes as he slowly adjusted to the blinding lights. The head of the band went to the microphone and introduced them to the bar, Jack got ready to play his instrument.
