The Bass Player's Wife #2

By Nick Foxx

Excerpt:

The service was beautiful. I flew my wife, Jessica, home to be buried on her family's farm.

Jessie's mother and her sister, Marilyn kept staring at Cherry. Marilyn pulled me aside to ask me about her. "Who is she?" Marilyn asked.

"Cherry is Mike, my bass player's ex-wife. She and Jessica were...very close. Cherry took her to the ER when she fell. When Jessie got sick, she was there every day. She took care of Jessie and me these last few weeks." Cherry must have sensed we were talking about her. She turned and smiled. Even in mourning, she looked beautiful. Her blonde hair and southern California girl look was too much to hide even draped in black.

"She's so..." Marilyn started to say. "How did Mike..."

"They met when we were recording some tracks in L. A. She delivered for the deli down the street. Eventually, he built up the nerve..."

Marilyn scoffed. "No. That's not what I meant."

"What did you mean?"

"How did Mike ever score a piece like that?" I almost spit out my drink. Marilyn chuckled and said, "You gotta admit Mike's not the best-looking guy and she is...hell, she's so hot I'd do her."

A diverse blend of music floated through the rooms of Nick Foxx’s house as he grew up. His family listened to and played blues, jazz, folk, gospel, country, rock’n’roll and classical music and they all fascinated him. Late in the night, he’d sit with his father and grandfather while they told stories and sang their favorites.Professors and artists mingled with ranchers and farmers around picnic tables in Nick's backyard to enjoy fried fish, barbecue, and good music as the neighborhood children chased fireflies in the twilight.The music he heard filled his head with dreams of being a professional musician. He played at local dances, clubs, and bars before he could drive. By twenty-one, he had performed for crowds of thousands, heard himself on the radio, and sang on live TV. His music has been used in advertising, film, television, theater, and played in concert halls. Records he worked on decorate the walls of his office and home.Nick began publishing ebooks in 2008 with Anonymous Publishing.

Chapter 1

The service was beautiful. I flew Jessica, home to be buried on her family's farm. You could call the place quaint but they really were dirt poor. They outhouse still stood watch out back. Jessie and her sister wanted to tear it down but their father refused. His grandfather had built it when he built the original cabin and to him, it was part of the family's history.

Jessie's mother and her sister, Marilyn kept staring at Cherry. Marilyn pulled me aside to ask me about her. "Who
