Writting assignment #2 draft 2
Bentley sits on the bed and pulls a keyboard up with him. He closes his eyes and begins to hit the keys, letting the music flow through him. Once he feels that he has a good riff going, he pops a floppy into the drive and records it so he can remember it for future use. The songs he records sometimes end up being liked by his band and played.
Music is his life, his meaning of existence. When he is playing, he feels at peace with himself. He feels that music is his true calling and who knows; he might be able to make a career out of it.
His imagination wanders and he sees himself, ten years on, at a big club in England, playing for an audience who feels the music like he does. He signs autographs after the show, before hopping on a bus to continue his tour. Life would be all fun and games for him and his band. They would tour the world, live the dream that so many musicians aspire to.
This mental image brings a smile to his face, but he snaps back to reality. Because he knows that it is the simple pleasures that make life good. Just the act of writing a song makes him happy. You don’t have to own five cars to feel good about the way your life is going. He feels content just being able to play an instrument.
As he sits on his bed another riff ambles through his brain.
His eyes closed, he moves his hands over the keys and he begins another song…
