Hi, I'm Roberta. As a present to my mom, grandma, great grandma, and the tons
of other relatives, I'm publishing a very special journal that was kept by
someone very special to us. It's a very long story, funny at times,
incredibly sexy, and also has many events that were scary and surprising to
all of us that read it. At the end of the journal you'll understand more
about us, and also know who I am. Here it is.


CHAPTER 1 - DISASTER AT HOME


Hi. I'm Kate, blond, 5 foot 9, big boobs, and green eyes. Everyone tells me
I'm really sexy and depending on my mood I may with them sometimes. I'm 16
years old in high school, and I hang out with my friends Ginny and Barb
almost everyday. We were the definitive sluts of the school and I didn't give
a shit what anyone thinks, as I loved to get laid and suck cock. Ginny and
Barb were the same way as me and we also really like getting it on together.
On some days, I like licking pussy even more than being with a guy. Ginny use
to call me Sybil, depending on what personality I woke up with that day.

On a typical October day after school we went to my house like always to
smoke some weed and have sex. We went up to my bedroom and Ginny took out a
rolled joint. She lit it and passed it to me as we sat on the bed. I took two
deep tokes, inhaling and holding in the smoke before I passed it to Barb.
Ginny blew out the smoke and started to undress me and I loved it. I lay back
on the bed as she lay on top of me and gave me a wet French kiss.

Barb held the joint for us to toke on a few more times and then she undressed
and joined us, as we softly caressed each other and kissed. I was in one of
my moods where I wanted to lick pussy more than anything. I was daydreaming
about it all day and was so wet.

Barb and Ginny were both sucking one of my nipples and I was moaning softly,
as I had one hand in Ginny's pussy and was fingering her. Barb raised her
head and kissed me and said, "Rub my clit too." I rubbed her clit and she
partially closed her eyes and then put her head on my breast. Barb was
rubbing my clit and I was in total paradise. The three of us got each other
off and then I went down on Ginny and ate her pussy for about 15 minutes
until she orgasmed into my mouth. Then I did it to Barb as Ginny kissed her.

We sat up together and Barb lit another joint and we passed it around as
Ginny decided to return the favor. She lay between my legs and spread my
pussy lips with her fingers as she slowly flicked her tongue over my wetness.
I came like a river in just a few minutes. Ginny sat up and kissed me with a
mouthful of my pussy cum and I went wild on her, sucking it out of her mouth.
Barb moved to lie between my legs and she licked me again. My pussy was
spasming and spraying out juices for over a half hour, as Barb wouldn't stop.
I felt like I was going to pass out and Barb raised her head smiling and
said, "Had enough?" I pushed her head back into my pussy and she licked me
until I was almost comatose, as Ginny sucked and licked my nipples.

We sat up again and Ginny lit us all cigarettes as we were laughing at each
other. I took a drag of my cigarette and said, "Time to get dressed." We
finished our smoke and were getting dressed. From that point on, I really
don't remember what happened next very clearly.

I think we heard loud noises coming from my parent's bedroom and we all
panicked. I remember we got dressed as fast as we could as I heard two men
screaming at each other. Then we heard my mother scream like she was in pain
and we all ran out into the hallway and froze as we watched my dad beat my
mother with a hammer and then hit the other man. They were fighting and the
other man hit my dad with the hammer and saw us. He came running out of the
room at us and I have no idea how we managed to do it, but Ginny grabbed the
hammer from his hand and I took it and hit him hard on the top of his head.
He fell to the ground and I ran into my room and called 911. Ginny yelled,
"Oh shit Kate, he's a cop."

The paramedics and police got there and the police were only interested in
the cop that was lying in the hallway. We were all crying hysterically and
then the three of us were arrested for possession of drugs after they
searched my room. I said, "How about my parents? Will they be okay?" The
officer said, "Nope. You beat them to death." We were all screaming what
really happened and no one would even listen.

The three of us were handcuffed and put in the back of different police cars,
and driven to the police station. I was screaming and the officer driving the
car just ignored me. I was charged, finger printed, had my picture taken, and
then put into a holding cell. I couldn't believe that my whole world was
ending. After about two hours I was taken to a room where a group of
detectives were grilling me for what seemed like hours. They wouldn't listen
to one word I was saying. I finally said, "Not another word without a lawyer.
Call the one my parent's used. His name is Mr. Jameson, here in Saddle
River."

I was put back into the cell and then met my lawyer in about 3 hours. I told
him the story and he said, "Kate, you killed a cop. Even if it was self-
defense they will never let you go without a major fight. I'll see what I can
do." I asked about Barb and Ginny and he said, "They were charged with being
accessories, plus the drug possession. Their parent's hired attorneys for
them. You are being arraigned in about an hour. Just say not guilty and
nothing more."

A van took me to the courthouse in handcuffs and ankle chains. The process in
court took about 2 minutes and the judge said, "This case will be heard in
the juvenal family court session in three days."

Three days went by and I literally didn't talk to anyone except the guard
that brought me my food. My lawyer finally showed up and sat with me as he
said, "This isn't good. Barb and Ginny pled guilty to a reduced charge to get
probation. They can't testify for you as they admitted their guilt and it
would be considered perjury. I worked a deal with the prosecutor where you
can plead guilty to a reduced manslaughter offense and serve your time in a
minimum security facility that is only for young women between 14 to 23 years
old. You'll be out in about 5 years tops. Plus you can finish school while
you're there." I said, "But it was self defense. I thought he was going to
attack me. I hit him to stop him." The lawyer said, "It doesn't matter. If
you don't take this deal they are going to try you in adult court and you
could be in an adult jail for life."

I took the deal and never saw Ginny or Barb. Three days later I was
transported by van about 120 miles away to a detention center that looked
like a fenced in motel with a bunch of other buildings on the grounds. When I
got there a guard read me the riot act of what was allowed and not allowed.
She had me strip off my cloths, gave me a shower, and then she searched my
body cavities. This was seriously embarrassing and I was told, "You'll wear
only the cloths we give you from here on in." I was given a stack of pants,
shorts, underwear, and shirts and then lead to my room, as they called it.

It really didn't look that bad and was almost like a cheap motel inside. I
was introduced to my roommate and her name was Debbie. The guard left the
room and Debbie said, "So what brings you to this fine luxury resort?" I
said, "I killed a cop in self defense." She said, "Cool. All I did was walk
into a liquor store with two friends to get some beer with a fake ID and the
place got robbed. Unfortunately one of my friends had a record so I'm a guest
in here for a while." I said, "You have any cigarettes?" She tossed me one
and a lighter and I lit it up. I took a deep drag and blew out the smoke
saying, "How old are you?" She said, "I was born in 1990 and I'm 17. How
about you?" I said, "1991. I'm 16 and so fucking horny. I've been locked up
in a cage for 7 days." Debbie was laughing and said, "You'll love it here as
long as you like to get it on with girls." I smiled as I took a drag of my
cigarette and nodded my head yes as I said, "I sure do."

She sat on my bed with me and we talked like we were old friends. She told me
what not to do and who to avoid and we were laughing about how she described
some of the girls like gorillas. She said, "We all have work assignments too.
I'll see if I can get you in with me. It's so easy. All we do is record the
stock of the items shipped into this place. It's mostly food and cloths. The
girl that was doing it with me got released yesterday."

We heard a bell go off and Debbie said, "Dinner time. Luxury resort style
dining." We walked to the cafeteria and Debbie introduced me to about 15
girls that were our age. We all sat together at a long table eating our food
that no one could figure out what it was. It didn't taste bad though. Debbie
said, "As long as it's not moving, you're okay."

After dinner all of us went outside to sit around a large picnic style table
and one of the girl's had a guitar. Debbie handed me a cigarette and I lit it
as Mary played her guitar and was sort of singing. I said, "That's my
favorite. Play it and I'll sing it." I loved to sing country tunes and sang
this one just like the record as she played it. Debbie was smiling when I hit
the high note at the end and they all clapped. I said, "Karaoke winner last
year. That and having sex are my only talents." They were laughing as I took
a drag of my cigarette and Mary played another song.

Everyone asked what I did to get in here and I told them what I remembered.
Mary said, "That was in the newspaper, but it didn't have that story with
it." I said, "Ginny and Barb couldn't testify because of the plea deal. No
one will even know the truth." Debbie said, "So what were you three doing
your bedroom anyway?" I smiled and said, "I told you I was good at having
sex." They were laughing and then they all told me why they were here and
some of it was absurd. I listened to a few stories of how they were abused
and then fought back to end up arrested. Debbie said, "This is your family
now." They all hugged me and it felt great.

We stayed outside and talked, laughed, and had a few cigarettes together. We
heard a bell go off and Debbie said, "That means inside." I walked with the
group into a building to a large room and we sat on the couches and watched
TV. One of the guards walked over to me and said, "Kate, you have a choice of
work assignments." She showed me the list and I picked the one with Debbie.
Debbie smiled and said to me, "We have school from 8 until noon, lunch until
1, and then we go to work until 4:30."

We watched a few TV shows and then the bell went off again at 10, and Debbie
said, "That's lights out." We went to our room and a guard checked to make
sure we were there and then she closed the door. Debbie got undressed and so
did I as I was watching her. She really was gorgeous and I couldn't help but
stare at her. She pulled down her covers and then sat with me on my bed as I
turned off the light. The lights from outside were lighting up the room a
little and I felt her hand on my back and then she kissed me slowly and
softly. I was melting inside and had goose bumps, as I kissed her back. I put
my arms around her and we lay down on my bed as we kissed, dancing our
tongues together in each other's mouth.

We must have kissed for 10 minutes and then she broke the kiss and I said,
"Wow!" Debbie was smiling and whispered, "Sssshhhh. It was really nice." We
kissed again and I put my hand on her breast and caressed her nipple, as we
were so into each other.  I broke the kiss and moved my lips to cover one of
Debbie's nipples and flicked my tongue over it as I sucked. She was moaning
softly into my ear and I was so wet. I made her crazy as I pinched her other
nipple and Debbie was whispering into my ear, "That feels so good baby.
Mmmmmm, you're making my pussy so wet."

I lifted my head up and we kissed again as Debbie was pinching my nipples and
I rubbed her clit softly. We were all over each other in about 10 minutes and
so into it. We rubbed each other's clit into an orgasm and kissed when we
both orgasmed so we wouldn't make any noise. Damn was that hot. Then I pulled
Debbie on top of me in a 69 position and we ate each other to the point I
couldn't stop cumming. I was shaking as my pussy spasmed for over a half hour
into her mouth. She was drenching me with juices and I couldn't swallow fast
enough as it was dripping down my chin. I had my arms around her ass and was
pulling her pussy into my mouth as I opened wide and sucked. Debbie moaned
into my pussy and I knew she liked what I was doing, so I did it again as she
was shaking like I was.

She orgasmed big time and so did I. Debbie crawled off of me and lay next to
me in bed and we kissed, tasting the cum in each other's mouth. She made an
"Mmmmmm" sound when we broke the kiss and I smiled. She whispered into my
ear, "Having you here with me is the best thing that has ever happened to
me." I kissed her again and I was absolutely melting inside. I whispered into
her ear, "I feel it too. Lets get some sleep."

Debbie slid under the covers with me in my single bed and we cuddled as we
both drifted off to sleep. She kept her face on mine and I loved how this
felt. I woke up in the middle of the night and kissed her. We just kissed for
about 10 minutes and then we both fell back to sleep.

Debbie work me up later and was fingering my soaking wet pussy. I kissed her
so hard and she was really making me feel good. She slid three fingers into
me and was moving them in and out and I whispered, "Fuck me with your hand."
Debbie moved down a little on the bed and pushed her other fingers into me,
bending her thumb into her palm. She was in me up to her wrist and then she
started to fuck my pussy. I was in paradise for about 20 minutes as I
orgasmed again. She slid down further to lay between my legs and went down on
me, licking up my cum. I was on overload and then she lay on top of me and we
kissed. We fell back to sleep in under a minute.


CHAPTER 2 - A NEW BEGINNING


We both woke up to a bell going off and Debbie said, "Oh shit, it's morning.
Bathroom time." We got up and put on our state issued robes and went to the
large bathroom facility for this unit. We both did our morning routine and
then we took a shower together. Everyone was in the large shower area and
some people were washing each other. We did the same thing and when she
washed my nipples I almost had an orgasm. Damn did she make me hot. Debbie
was smiling and said, "Ooops."

We dried off and went back to our room and changed. We put the dirty cloths
in a bag outside the hallway and then walked to the cafeteria for breakfast.
We got our food and sat at the same table with the same girls from yesterday
and they all wanted to know how my first night was. Debbie and I both
blushed. They were all cracking up and I said, "It was really good." Debbie
was smiling at me as we ate our toast.

After we finished breakfast, all of us went for a walk outside and had a
cigarette. It was a little chilly and Debbie looked at my nipples standing at
attention and said, "Damn." I blushed again and she was smiling as she took a
drag of her cigarette. A bunch of other girls were walking and Debbie said,
"Those are the tuff crowd. We call them the bull dykes." I looked at them and
nodded as they all looked like men. I took a drag of my cigarette and blew
the smoke out into the wind as Mary said, "Whatever you do, don't laugh at
the teacher. She is very weird and sensitive to her problems. Laughing will
get you in a ton of trouble." Debbie was acting retarded and I started to
laugh. Mary said, "Good! Get it all out now." Everyone was cracking up as we
walked to the school building.

We finished our cigarettes and then went inside. Debbie showed me where
everything was and then we went into the classroom for our age group. The
teacher was definitely weird, but I felt sorry for her. I helped her with her
books and she smiled at me and said, "Thanks. You must be Kate." I said, "Yes
mam." I sat down next to Debbie and she winked at me.

The school stuff was simple and so much more fun than the high school I had
been in. That was like a prison. This was relaxed and they let us do whatever
we wanted. The morning flew by and the bell rang for us to go to lunch.

We walked outside as a group and Mary passed out cigarettes and we lit up as
we walked to the cafeteria. I said, "I felt sorry for her. That has to be
from an accident of some kind. I think she's part paralyzed." Debbie said,
"She was shot when she taught at a school in New York City and it damaged
some nerves. We goof around a lot, but we all feel sorry for her. Mrs. Longer
came to teach here 12 years ago because the girl that shot her was sentenced
to this place and she wanted her to see what damage she caused. She liked
teaching here and stayed."

I took a drag of my cigarette and Debbie held my hand. The other girls were
laughing and I said, "We're just friends." Everyone was cracking up and
Debbie whispered into my ear, "Kate, I can't wait until we go to bed tonight.
I was dripping in class thinking about you." I smiled and whispered back, "Me
too."

We went into the cafeteria and we got a different color something for lunch.
Everyone was laughing about it, but it tasted good. Mary said, "We know where
the cats and dogs in the shelter go now." We all made yuck face and she was
cracking up.

A guard came over to our table and said, "Kate, your attorney is here. Come
with me." I walked to the administration building and went into a room to see
my lawyer. He said, "Good news. All of you're parent's money that was left to
you from their wills, will stay yours. It's in trust and you get it when you
turn 18 or when you get out of here. It's a lot." He handed me a statement
and I said, "Wow! I knew they were well off, but I had no idea it was this
much. Thanks." He gave me the information about it and I went back to my room
to put it in there and then went back to the cafeteria. I sat next to Debbie
and she said, "Well?" I said, "I found out I'm rich. I had no idea my parents
had so much money. I don't get it until I get out of here, but it's there
waiting. All 9 million of it." Debbie said, "Holy shit! What did they do for
a living?" I said, "I'm not sure. I think they were partners in some sort of
architecture firm. I had slight amnesia and I just can't remember."

I finished my lunch and then Debbie and I went out for a private walk and to
go to our work location. We lit cigarettes and she held my hand as we walked
the grounds. I said, "As crazy as this sounds, I am so glad that I was sent
here to met you." She squeezed my hand tighter and pulled me behind a large
oak tree and we kissed. I was melting inside as our tongues met. She said,
"We can't get caught doing this out here." She kissed me again and I said,
"Lets save it for later. Debbie, this feels so right." I starred into her
eyes as she starred into mine and then we walked again.

We finished our cigarettes as we talked about so many things. She told me
everything about her past and her parents. I told her some stuff too and we
laughed at some of it. We got to the administration building and we went into
the area by the loading dock and signed into work. Debbie showed me what we
had to do and this was simple. There wasn't more than an hour's worth of work
and then we just sat in the chairs, chilled out and talked some more. We did
get one delivery and we helped load the food into a refrigeration unit and
then we were back sitting again. I said, "I haven't seen any of the older
woman here." Debbie said, "The facility is split. On the other side of that
fence is 21 and over, and the back section behind that fence is under 16."

We were goofing around and checking out what was in the supplies and I said,
"Cool. Birth control pills to stop the periods." We took a year's worth and
put them in our pockets and were laughing about it. We heard a bell ring and
Debbie said, "We're done for the day." I said, "It seems like we just got
here." She pulled me into the storage room and we kissed and kissed. I was so
into it. I said, "Debbie, I want to make love to you so bad baby." She kissed
me again and then we had to leave.

We went to the music and art area and she said, "You'll like this. I sing
too." We went into a room set up for teaching art and music and they had
everything. All of the other kids were there, including the really butch
ones. Mary said, "Sing that song again from last night." She put on a Karaoke
of the song and Debbie sang it with me into the mic. She was damn good and we
had a blast harmonizing the chorus and then alternating in the verses.
Everyone was clapping when we finished and they put on another song for us to
sing. We did this entire one in harmony and it sounded really good. Debbie
and I kept looking at each other surprised. I said, "Not bad at all. You have
any plans for the rest of your life?" She smiled at me and said, "I do now."

I said, "Tell me what you think of this." I sat at the piano and played a
song that I wrote and sang it.  Everyone was listening and I stopped and
said, "Sing this in the chorus." I showed her the lines and showed everyone
else a background part and they were getting into it. I said, "From the top."

I played the song and Debbie sang it with me and this sounded really good.
Two of the slightly older girls were sitting next to us and one said, "You
have a profession when you get out. That has top country charts written all
over it. Plus you two sound so good together." I said, "Lets do another one.
This one's fast and kicks ass." I wrote down the words and said, "It's real
fast." I played a country boogie and everyone was standing and clapping to
the beat as I sang a verse, we did a chorus together and then Debbie sang a
verse. I stopped and slapped her high five as everyone laughed and then we
did the last two verses.  Debbie said, "How many tunes have you written?" I
said, "About 50. Most are like these two. You think there good enough to play
them out at a gig?" The two older girls looked at me and one said, "We'd buy
these if they were out as CDs. You two sound great together."

The bell rang and I said, "Dinner already?" Debbie smiled and said, "Yup.
Lets see what color we get tonight?" Tonight's dinner had a tinge of gray in
it. It looked totally disgusting, but tasted good.

After we ate we went outside again and sat at the table having a smoke.
Debbie lit my cigarette for me and she put her hand on my leg. I was shaking
in anticipation. She knew it and moved her hand as she smiled. Debbie said,
"Each night one of us tells a story about something that happened to them
before they got sent here. Tonight it's Beth's turn."

I took a drag of my cigarette and we listened to Beth tell us about her home
and I wanted to cry. She was abused beyond belief. A few of us had tears in
our eyes and Beth said, "I ended it the only way I could after DYFS sent me
back home from the child abuse shelter. I hope that son of bitch is rotting
in hell right now and the judge didn't understand why I had no remorse. Fuck
him! I would have killed him ten times if I could have."  Then we listened to
Mary tell a story about her cousins that was funny as hell. We had another
cigarette and then the bell rang again.

Debbie grabbed my hand and we walked to the TV lounge again. I was thinking
about us in bed and the time dragged as we watched one dumb TV show after
another. Finally the beel rang and we both smiled and walked to our room. The
guard made sure we were both in, closed our door, and then we ripped off our
cloths. I couldn't stop kissing her as we caressed each other. We were so
soft and loving as we made each other feel so good.

We made each other have an orgasm and then we went wild on each other. We
must have eaten each other out for over an hour in a 69 position and then we
got serious. We fist fucked each other lying in a 69 position on our sides
and we were so into it.  Then we went back to pussy licking again. I swear I
swallowed over a pint of her pussy juices.  My pussy was spasming to the
point it wouldn't stop and we both laughed as quietly as we could. We had a
cigarette in bed as we lay together naked and I was hotter than before. I
whispered into Debbie's ear, "I'm in love with you." She kissed me again and
whispered back, "I know. I love you too and it's wonderful."

The next 8 weeks were like paradise. Debbie and I were so much in love it was
almost funny. I meet with my lawyer a few times and he was working on my
case, and Debbie's now.

We got permission to go to the music room instead of watching TV and we spent
most of our free time there. We learned all of the songs that I wrote and
Debbie wrote a new one with me. On my 9th week anniversary at the detention
center, Debbie and I played the songs for all for the kids and teachers, with
Debbie playing guitar and me on piano. They all loved our music and couldn't
believe it.

The next day we were back to our routine again and a guard came to us at
lunch and said, "Kate, your attorney is here again. This guy must love you.
Please follow me." Debbie was smiling as I went with the guard to the
administration building and sat in the conference room again, as a guard sat
outside the room and was listening. My lawyer said, "I have some really good
news for you. Your parents had a security system in the house that had
miniature cameras that recorded videos. Everything that happened was on one
of the tapes, just as you told me, and the judge has overturned your
conviction. Since you're a minor they want to put you into a foster home." I
said, "How about I stay here? I love it and I am with someone I really care
about. Her name is Debbie Austin. Can they make it so that I can leave when
she gets released? I really don't want to leave without her?" He said, "Well
that's a first. No one has ever asked me this before. Let me see what I can
do?" He took out his cell phone and made a few calls and said, "That's right
your honor. She wants to stay here until her friend Debbie Austin is
released. I can't see any problem with it, unless you can." He was on hold
for a while and then said, "Okay, that makes it a little under 9 months from
now. Her friend could be her guardian them. Okay, I'll let her know."

He hung up and I said, "Thank you." He said, "I need to tell the officials
here so you can leave anytime if you want too." He smiled at me and I went
back to the cafeteria.

I sat down and finished my lunch and Debbie said, "Well?" I said, "We'll talk
outside. It's good news." She dragged me outside with a mouthful of food and
I was laughing as I swallowed. We lit cigarettes and sat at the table as I
said, "For starters, you are being released in little under 9 months, and I'm
going with you. They found the security tapes of my parent's house and the
judge reversed my conviction and sentence. Since I have to be in a foster
home if I leave now, I asked to stay here with you. When you get released
you'll be my official guardian for a few months until I turn 18. That good
news?" Debbie was screaming and hugging me and I was smiling. The guards
walked over to us and one said, "We heard. We'll let you two have more time
together in the next 9 months. This is so romantic." We smiled and were both
crying. A few more of the guards came over and were hugging us. It was
unreal.

Mary walked over with Beth and said, "Good news?" The guard told them and
then Mary and Beth were hugging us.

After dinner, we went to our room and made love all night. I was an animal
and so was Debbie.

The next two months were truly paradise. We were attached at the hip and did
everything together. We were at lunch and one of the guards said, "Debbie,
your attorney is here to see you." We both looked surprised for the guard and
she left for the administration building walking outside in the snow. I
finished my lunch and waited for her and she walked back with a big smile.
She started to eat her lunch and I said, "Well?" She said, "I'll tell you in
private." I grabbed her hand like she did to me before and I dragged her
outside in the snow. I said, "We'll?" Debbie was smiling and said, "I am
being released tomorrow. They overturned my conviction finally. They know now
that I didn't rob the place or shoot anyone. It was your lawyer that got me
off using the security tapes from the liquor store. My old lawyer was such an
idiot. My mom is coming today to meet you. I called her and she knows
everything. She thinks it's great." A guard overheard us and was smiling.

I wrapped my arms around her and we kissed and held each other so tight. We
were both smiling and crying at the same time. A few of the guards came over
and one said, "You're both going to have frost bite when you leave tomorrow."
We both said at the same time, "I don't give a shit!" The guards were
laughing at us as we hugged again. We went to the administration building and
both of us had to sign some forms. Debbie signed one that she will be my
guardian for another 6 months. We also got our high school diplomas that we
more than had enough credits for. They both were from our original high
schools and that was so weird.

I called my lawyer and thanked him and he said, "You are very welcome and
there's more good news. I was going to call you later. You can get your trust
money anytime you want it. Just go to the bank. If they give you a hard time
have them call me." I was crying again and told Debbie and she flipped as I
said, "Want to try to make it in the music business? We have enough money."
She hugged me and screamed, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Her mom showed up and Debbie hugged her for over 10 minutes crying and then
she introduced me. Her mom was hugging me and crying about what happened to
me. I said, "It brought us together so it wasn't all bad." We talked for a
while and her mom said, "Tomorrow I'll be here at 8 to pick you up. I'm
staying at the local motel a few miles away. Debbie, I am so happy the way
this turned out for you and Kate." Debbie said, "Take a walk with us." We
walked with her mom around the grounds and we showed her the music room. I
said, "Want to hear the next famous country artists?" We walked inside and we
played about 10 of our tunes. Her mom was in shock and said, "Damn are you
two good. The songs are terrific also. I love that slow one you did second.
Play it again." We played it again and her mom was smiling at us.

A guard came in and said, "We have something special for you two in the
cafeteria. Tell your mom you'll see her in the morning." We lit cigarettes
and walked her back to the administration building and then we sat outside to
finish our smokes and talked about how strange it was that we met like this.
I said, "I still own my parent's house. I guess I could sell it or we could
move in if you want." She said, "What type of house?" I said, "Very big. I'll
show you. We need to get our drivers licenses also." Debbie said, "I still
have mine. You need to get yours."

I took a final drag of my cigarette and then we went into the cafeteria and
everyone yelled surprise. We really were surprised and they had a huge cake
for us. Debbie and I were amazed at what they did for us and we got hugs and
kissed from everyone; even the tuff group. Our teacher, Ms. Longer, said the
nicest things about us. We were both crying again and hugged. The music
teacher said, "I expect you to send me a signed copy of your first CD. You
are both excellent and I really do mean that." We ate and talked to everyone.
The entire group that was our family was so sad to see us go, but happy for
us too. I said, "We'll give you our address and we'll write. I promise."

Our friends put on a roast about us and we laughed our ass off for almost an
hour. Mary and Beth pretend they were Debbie and me on our first stage
performance and sang one of our songs so off key. It was hilarious. They
talked to the audience and got confused. The guards were almost crying from
laughing so hard. Then we both gave a little thank you and farewell speech. I
said, "You are my family, and that's all I have now. I really will miss every
one of you." Mary yelled out, "Until you go and buy yourself a new Ferrari to
play with!" I smiled and said, "Oh yeah, I got the money. I forgot all about
that." Everyone was laughing and we hugged them all.

That night Debbie and I had the most passionate sex we ever had. I must have
told her I loved her a hundred times and she was the same way with me. We
slept cuddled together and woke up every hour to kiss and caress each other.
It was so romantic. In the morning we made love until the bell rang and we
both were laughing as I said, "A built in alarm clock. Lets take our last
group shower." We took a group shower but we didn't notice anyone. We kissed
and caressed under the water until Mary said, "You are going to miss your
last wonderful breakfast here." We looked at her and smiled as we broke our
embrace and dried off.

We had our last breakfast with the group and then we did the goodbyes. This
was hard as everyone was crying, including us. We went outside and had a
cigarette as we walked to the administration building and we both waved
goodbye to the place.


CHAPTER 3 - BACK HOME AGAIN


We saw Debbie's mom and she hugged us both. She said, "Don't you have to
change first?" I said, "The cloths I had when I was arrested are ruined. It's
these or nothing." Debbie said, "Me too. Mom, just tell everyone we escaped
and forced you to drive us home." Her mother was laughing as we went to pick
up our valuables and then went to the car. I said, "Where are we going
anyway?" Debbie's mom said, "Saddle River." I said, "Do you mind if we make
two short stops in town there? The first is at Fleet bank and the other is at
my house." She said, "Yeah sure, we'll stop."

We took the long drive and talked the whole way home. Debbie and her mom had
a very serious conversation and I just listened. They had some issues in the
past and I guessed it was all over with now. Debbie said, "Mom, when did you
move to Saddle River?" She said, "Your dad let me nine months ago, we filed
for a divorce, I sold the house, and I'm renting a small house near my
office. I didn't want to tell you all the bad things. You had your hands full
as it was."

I said, "Where do you work?" She said, "By the way Kate, call me Margi or
mom. Which ever you want. I work for a record company and run the A&R
department. We're mostly into commercial pop. I hear bad bands and lousy CDs
all day long and that's why I said you two are really good. I'll see if I can
get you in contact with few people that can help you." Debbie looked at me
and smiled and I smiled back.

We talked about so many things and were laughing more than half the time as
we made the trip. Margi was a piss as she told us about one screwed up rock
band after the other. Debbie lit us cigarettes and we put on a country rock
station on the radio and her mom said, "This is the station where your music
will be playing." We both smiled and I took a drag of my cigarette.

We got into Saddle River and we stopped at the local bank. I said, "It
shouldn't take too long. Want to come in with me?" Debbie went with me and I
asked to see the manager. He introduced himself and I said, "Hi, I'm Kate
Rodgers and want to move a large amount of money into a new account from my
trust account. This is the information." He looked at it and said, "Lets sit
down and do the paper work. First he set me up with a savings and checking
account with an ATM card and then I said, "I want 250 thousand moved into the
savings and 100 thousand moved into the checking account." He said, "I need
some ID." I said, "I don't have any. I gave you my social security number.
Can I make a quick phone call?" I called the attorney and put him on with the
branch manager. He kissed my ass after that and said, "You can access your
account anytime. Don't worry about anything. I had no idea you had that much
on deposit here."

I used my ATM card for 500 dollars so we had some spending money and I said,
"Lets visit my old house." We went out and got in the car and I said, "Make a
left at the light." Margi said, "This is towards where I live." I had her
make a few turns and I said, "Now go up the hill." She said, "These homes are
huge?" I said, "Forth driveway on the left and turn in by the wrought iron
gates." She turned into the circle driveway and pulled up to the front
entrance. I said, "Come in with us."

I used my key to open the house and it was dusty. I said, "Cleaning crew
time. This is a mess." I gave them a tour downstairs and then we went
upstairs and I remembered everything when I saw the bloodstains all over the
place. I said, "I guess no one cleaned up anything. This is disgusting."
Debbie said, "Lets call someone to replace the rugs, paint, and clean the
place." My parent's old room was a disaster and we went into my old room and
the bed was a total mess, exactly as I left it. I took out a bunch of cloths
and packed them into an overnight bag, and then packed my bathroom stuff. We
went into the kitchen and it smelled horrible. I opened the refrigerator and
things had to be growing in it. Debbie said, "Add that to the list too." Her
mom said, "That can be cleaned." We went out back to check on the pool and it
was never drained for the year and was a mess. Then we went into the garage
and I checked out the cars.

Debbie said, "You already have a Ferrari?" I said, "That was my dad's pride
and joy. I use to call it his first love. It's a pretty rare car and in
perfect show condition. The Mercedes and Bentley were the daily drivers. All
of the cars need to be cleaned, serviced, and re-registered. That's why I
moved over so much money."

I locked the gates as we left and said, "So what do you think? Want to live
here with me or should I sell it?" Debbie said, "I love it. How do you feel
about moving back into it after what happened?" I said, "I'm okay with it.
How about you?" Debbie smiled and said, "Lets move in." Her mother was
smiling and said, "You know that house has to be worth over 5 million." I
said, "It was appraised at 7.5 when they probated the will. The jewelry in
the safe is worth more than that. Plus I got 9 million in cash. My parents
were loaded. The Ferrari was appraised for 1.2 million two years ago for
insurance."

Margi was smiling and said, "Were they in the mafia?" I said, "I don't think
so. I'm still having trouble remembering a lot of things. They were partners
in a company and I think it was an architecture firm in New York." I pointed
to houses of my friends and then we went to Debbie's mom's house. She said,
"It isn't much, but it's home." I said, "It's wonderful. We have been living
in a bedroom that was 10 by 12 with two beds. This is like heaven." She was
smiling as I carried in my bags.

Margi said, "Debbie, all of your things and cloths are in the second
bedroom." We went into see it and I said, "Very nice. I love Sponge Bob too."
She was smiling and said, "I saw him in your room also. What a rip."

We went downstairs and I called a few general contractors until I found one
that could do what I wanted in the house this week. I said, "Stop by this
address first because I have the key." I gave him the address and Debbie gave
him the phone number. Debbie said, "Lets get you a driver's license." We took
her mom's car and went back to my house to get my birth certificate and then
went to the DMV. I showed them my stamped permit from my road test that
hadn't expired yet and I paid the 40 dollars to get a photo ID license.
Debbie whispered to me, "Want to take out the Ferrari?" I said, "Not until it
gets serviced. Then we will both drive it. Lets see if the Bentley starts.
We'll use that."

We went to the garage and the Mercedes started and I said, "One of three
isn't bad after this long." I drove to a gas station in town and had them
change the oil and fill it up as we made calls. I called to have the
electricity, gas, and water turned back on to find out it was never turned
off and that I owned a fortune on it. We were laughing as I wrote my first
check out of the account and we had to drive it over to the utility company.
We also called the phone company and I had to write my second check as we
laugh about it. I checked with the lawyer for the taxes on the house and he
said, "It's free and clear of a mortgage. The taxes will be due to the town.
Hang on I'll call the town clerk." I was on hold and he came back on and
said, "You get to write check and do it as soon as possible. The bank was
suppose to pay this stuff from the trust and they never did." Our next stop
was the town clerk when I wrote a check for $12,000 and Debbie almost shit a
brick.

We drove by the car dealer my dad used and I said, "Hi. You remember me?" The
manager said, "Kate?" I nodded and he said, "I was so sorry to hear about
your parents." I said, "I own the place now and the cars, and I need them all
serviced. Can you tow the Bentley and Ferrari to the shop and do those first?
I'm driving the Benz." He said, "Sure. How about we pick them up this
afternoon? I can have two tow drivers go there now." We waited until he made
the calls and I said, "Thanks. We'll go wait for them. We haven't moved in
yet." He said, "Tell me what happened. There were so many rumors and then the
news a few months back about the security cameras in the house. How did you
make out in all of this?" I told him the whole story and he said, "God damn.
They locked you up?" I said, "Yup. It was the cop that attacked us and I hit
him with hammer and that was it. I have no idea why my dad flipped out or
what else was going on. I want to see the security tapes myself."

We went to the house and the tow trucks showed up a few minutes later and
took the cars on flatbeds. I called the lawyer back again and said, "I need
to ask you a favor. Can I watch the security tapes to see what really
happened in my parent's room that got me off the hook?" He said, "Come on
over to my office. The tapes are here."

We drove to the address he gave me and we went inside. He hugged us both and
said, "Come on in. You are news in this office. Both of you." We met everyone
and then we went into a conference room and he left us alone to watch the
tape. He said, "We edited it to just the fighting and removed all of the
blank space. It's about 5 minutes and I have to warn you, this is very
upsetting." I said, "Why did my dad flip out the way he did?" He looked down
and said, "Watch the tape Kate."

We watched the tape and were in total shock. My mom was having an affair with
the cop and my dad surprised them. The cop and my mom tried to kill my dad
with a hammer than was on the dresser for hanging a picture. In the struggle
my dad got the hammer and swung it and hit my mom on the head and then the
cop killed my dad.  Then we saw me doing my thing after Ginny got the hammer
out of the cop's hand by biting him. Debbie and I were in shock and I said,
"Holy shit. It was my mom that started it." We gave the tape back and I said,
"Definitely a surprise, but I needed to know. Do you know where they are
buried?" He looked it up and gave me the address and gravesite numbers. I
said, "Thanks again."

We went back to Debbie's house and I said, "I want to call Ginny and Barb and
see what happened to them. They are total lunatics." I kissed Debbie and
said, "Don't worry about me rekindling something. There was nothing to
rekindle. I love you honey." She kissed me again and then I made the calls. I
got Ginny on the phone and she was screaming and said, "Come over. I'll call
Barb. She will be so happy for you." I said, "I have a new special friend
that I am in totally love with. Can I bring her too? Her name is Debbie."
Ginny said, "Of course."

We went out again to see Ginny and she looked at us and was so jealous. She
said, "You got better looking and Debbie is drop dead gorgeous. Barb is on
her way over now." We said hello to Ginny's mother and she hugged me and then
Debbie and said, "I can't believe what they did to you. You should sue the
police department for this one." Barb walked in and screamed at the top of
her lungs as she hugged me and then I introduced Debbie. We sat in the
kitchen with her mom and talked and I told them all about what happened. I
said, "Why did you plea out?" Her mom said, "The lawyer did that without us
even knowing about it. We sued him for malpractice after the deal was done.
Kate, you got fucked and I am so sorry about it."

I said, "It could have been worse. We owe it all to Ginny's sharp teeth. She
bit the hand on the cop and he dropped the hammer." Ginny said, "I don't
remember a thing about it." I said, "We saw the security tape and it was
really ugly. Trust me, you don't want to remember it." Barb said, "You
starting school again?" I said, "We both graduated already." They wanted to
know what we going to do now and I told them about the house and moving back
in, and then Debbie talked about our music and she was glowing. Ginny said,
"Play some for us." We all went into the great room and I sat at the piano
with Debbie and we played about 10 tunes and they all loved it. Debbie said,
"My mom is an A&R rep for a record company and she's going to try to hook us
up with some contacts."

Ginny's mom said, "We have some contacts too in Nashville. Give me you're
phone number and I'll call you when Bill gets home." Debbie gave her the
number and I said, "We should get back. We're having dinner with Debbie's mom
tonight and staying there until the house is ready for us to move back in."

They hugged us and I said, "Don't be a stranger." Barb said, "We won't." I
tossed the keys to Debbie and she drove us back to Debbie's house and she
said, "They are so nice and so is this car." I smiled and said, "It's yours
now." I lit us two cigarettes and handed one to Debbie and she was still
smiling. I took a deep drag and blew out the smoke as we felt the car
bucking. I said, "This needs the service badly too. Lets see if they can rush
the Bentley so we can drop this one off."

We got back to the house and I called the shop and told the manager about the
Benz and he said, "We'll get the Bentley done by tomorrow. Just drop that one
off when you pick up the Bentley." Debbie's mom said, "How old is that car?"
I said, "It's less than a year old and so is the Bentley. The Ferrari is much
older than me."

Margi made us dinner and it was all the right color. We were laughing about
it and Margi was cracking up as we told her what food looked like in jail.
Her food was terrific and Debbie and I were savoring every mouthful. Margi
said, "I have to leave for two days on a business trip. Here's a spare key to
the house." I said, "We forgot to make a spare key for the contractor
tomorrow and you. Anything open at night?" Margi said, "I'll go because I
need to get something anyway. I'll make a spare of this key too. You want any
ice cream while I'm out?" We both nodded and smiled as Debbie said "We
haven't had ice cream in a while."

We went into the den and turned on the TV as Margi went to the store. The
phone rang and it was Ginny. She put on her dad who told us about two people
that he knows in Nashville that are country record producers. He said,
"Everyone over here is raving about you two. I'll make a few calls tomorrow
and let you know when to call them." I said, "Thank you so much." He said,
"After what you went through you deserve a lot more than this. Welcome home
Kate."

Debbie sat on my lap and I loved every second of it as we kissed for about 20
minutes. I said to her, "I am so wet honey." We can't just disappear into the
bedroom with your mom coming back. That would be rude." She kissed me again
and I put my hands inside of her shirt and was touching her bare skin. Debbie
kissed my neck and said, "That feels nice honey. Rub my back like that."

I had Debbie lay on the couch and I sat on her ass and gave her a back and
neck massage as she was like a bowl of Jello. She was moaning softly and had
a smile from ear to ear. I said, "I guess you like it." She said, "This is
pure heaven." She was almost asleep from my massage and I bent over and
kissed her neck and said, "My turn." We changed positions and she sat on my
ass and gave me a massage. I felt like a Gumby doll within a few minutes.
Debbie was blowing in my ear and I wanted to eat her pussy so bad. She
finally stopped just as I was about to fall asleep. I sat up and we lit
cigarettes as Margi walked in. She handed us the keys and two ice creams and
our mouths were watering. Food never tasted so good.

We stayed up and talked for a while and then Margi said, "Go to bed. You two
look exhausted. I'm leaving at 7 in the morning, so I probably won't see you
for a few days. Have fun."

We went into her bedroom and we were so into each other. We undressed each
other slowly and left the night light on. This was so sexy. I was more
excited than I ever had been. We made love and it seems to get better each
time. I wanted her to touch very part of my body and she was the same way
with me. I suckled her nipple and flicked my tongue over them as I rubbed her
clit. Debbie was holding me to her tightly and whispering into my ear, "That
feels so good honey. Oh God do I love you." I made her orgasm and then she
did me the same way. I was kissing her and holidng her as my pussy sprayed
juices out.  I moved to lie on top of her in a 69 position and we ate each
other senseless. Debbie sucked my entire slit into her mouth and my pussy was
in convulsions of orgasms. I did it to her also and we were both shaking. I
swallowed and then I slid off of her and lay by her side. We kissed and
cuddled and I whispered, "Lets sleep honey."

We sleep like rocks. Her mom must have set the alarm for us because it went
off at 8 and we jumped up like it was the bell. We both started to laugh and
I said, "Can you believe it? We were conditioned for that fucking bell."
Debbie was laughing and then kissed me. She lit a cigarette and said, "We
should go downstairs to give the contractor the key." I'll go down and you
hit the bathroom, then you can go wait while I take a piss." We had a plan
and the doorbell rang and we both put on a robe and went downstairs.

Debbie answered the door and I said, "We kind of overslept. This is the key
to the place and we'll be there in about a half hour after we get dressed.
Use the same key on the front gate to kill the alarm and open the iron
gates." He said, "Take your time and have some breakfast. I can make another
stop and meet you there in about an hour if that works better." I said,
"Thanks." He handed the key back and I said, "We'll see you in an hour."

We did our morning routine and took a shower together. This was so sexy in
the shower stall. We dressed in jeans and tee shirts and we both looked so
fucking hot. Debbie couldn't keep her eyes off my boobs and I was the same
way with her as neither of us wore a bra. I took out my blue jean jacket and
Debbie had one also and I said, "Twins. Lets go get some breakfast." We drove
to the diner and loved how the food tasted. I said, "We better be careful or
we'll be 250 pounds in two weeks." Debbie was smiling and said, "Yup, but it
tastes great."

I paid the bill and Debbie drove us to the house. I opened everything up and
turned off the alarms as the contactor pulled into the gate. He got out of
the car and said, "Nice house." I said, "Not inside." We went inside and he
said, "How long has it been empty?" I said, "A little over 7 months." I
showed him the refrigerator and we all held our noses. We went upstairs and I
said, "Your team may need to wear gloves. This is all dried blood. I want new
carpet throughout the house, new paint, and everything cleaned too. Let me
show you the pool." We went out back and he said, "It can be saved."

The contractor was adding on a note pad and said, "Rough estimate about 20 to
25 thousand for everything." I said, "How soon can you start and get it done?
We want to move in." He said, "We can get it started today. The carpeting
depends on what's in stock. Let me show you samples and we'll check what's in
the warehouse." He brought samples inside of the carpet and paint and we went
through every room and picked things out. He checked the warehouse and said,
"Its all available." I said, "We also want the wallpaper changed in the
hallway. You have any ideas?" He showed us some things and Debbie said,
"That's nice." I said, "That one." He smiled and said, "We'll have a crew
here today. How should we lock up at night?" I gave him a key and he gave me
a contract to sign.

He called a crew and truck to deliver things as I showed Debbie where the
safe was in the library. I gave her the combination and opened it and we went
through the contents. Debbie looked at the jewelry and said, "It maybe worth
a bunch but it's ugly as hell." I said, "Lets get rid of it. Take that box
with us too. Check this out." Debbie said, "My God, original Coca-cola stock
and Polaroid stock. This has to be worth a small fortune also." We took some
of the stuff with us and then we locked up the safe again. I said, "That safe
will withstand an atomic blast. That was my dad's requirements for buying it.
He was totally nuts."

We went outside to our car and waved to the contractor as we headed to the
jeweler that appraised it. We carried it into the store and I said, "Hi, you
appraised this jewelry 5 months ago and we want to sell it. Can you tell us
who we should contact?" He looked at it and said, "I remember these pieces.
This is incredible workmanship and perfect stones. Let me make a few calls.
Sit tight for a few minutes." He came back out and said, "The appraisal was
for 6.7 million and I have a buyer for 6.9. You want to sell it?" I said,
"That sounds fair. I'll take it." He went back into his office and came back
out in a minute and said, "A messenger will be here in about 15 minutes with
a cashiers check. Take a look around. We have really nice custom pieces we
make here. They're in the display behind the counter in the back. I'll let
you in."

He unlocked the area and we looked at some of the rings. Debbie and I feel in
love with a few of them and he showed them to us. I said, "How much?" He
said, "Let me check on the carrot weight." He checked out the stones and
looked up a few things and said, "37 thousand for the first one, 38 for the
second and the third. They are all perfect diamonds." I said to Debbie, "You
want it?" She smiled and I said, "I like the first one and Debbie likes the
third one. We'll take them." He sized them for us as we waited and I wrote
him a check. I said, "Don't cash it until I get to the bank which should take
about 10 minutes." He said, "I know where you live, and I know Bob your
lawyer. Don't worry about it."

The messenger showed up and we went straight to the bank and deposited the
check. I also moved over 65 thousand into checking from savings. The manager
was kissing our ass like you won't believe. I said, "Do you know of any stock
brokers around here?" He gave me an address down the block and we walked
there. This guy almost shit in his pants when we showed him the stock
certificates. He said, "Let me figure out what it's worth. I now it's a lot."

We sat and waited as he checked a few things and then used a calculator with
a paper tape. He said, "This one is worth about 3.4 million. The next is
worth 1.8 and the next one is 5.1." I said, "Can you sell them for us?" He
said, "I take a 2 percent commission." I said, "That's fine. Get top dollar
and make all of us more money." He was smiling as he made a few phone calls
and then listed the stock on the computer. He said, "Sign the back of the
certificates and make sure to put your social security number on it for
taxes." I endorsed them and he said, "The price is higher than I thought.
Each one was turned into the equivalent in shares today and they are going
fast." We waited about 10 minutes and he said, "All done. How should I make
out the check?" I gave him my name and he said, "A pleasure. You're take is
over 11 and a half million. Taxes will get you on it through. You should
consult your tax accountant before the end of the year."

We got the check and went to the bank and made another deposit. We thanked
the manager for giving us the brokers name and he was smiling. We went back
to Debbie's house and made some lunch when Ginny's dad called us again. He
said, "Give them both a call and they are both interested. Both of these guys
won awards for producing major records in the past few years so they are
reputable. They both handle some big name artists too." I said, "Thanks very
much." He said, "I hope you hit it big. Good luck!"

We put the phone on speaker in the den and we called the first producer. We
had a nice conversation and he said, "Send me a demo CD when you finish it
and then we'll talk more. Make sure you reference our conversation in your
cover letter. I get over a thousand CDs a week and it will get tossed if we
don't know what it's about." I said, "Thank you very much."

We made the second call and it was the same thing. He wanted a demo CD as
soon as we could finish one. I said, "Okay kid, now we find a place that can
do a us full production demo locally." We took out the phone book and started
making calls and we mostly got laughed at. I said, "This is insanity. Lets go
to that big recording studio off the highway and see someone in person." We
made the drive and they didn't want to talk to us. I said, "I'm willing to
pay cash and have tons of it in the bank. Aren't you in the business of
making money?" That got us noticed and we talked to the owner. I said, "We
have two major label producers interested in us but we need to send them a
solid demo and I don't want some cheesy thing. I want it perfect like the
real deal. I'm willing to pay for it but we need musicians that can play
country rock and some backup singers. If you can't do it, can you recommend
someone that can." He said, "We can do it. Let me give you a ballpark of
costs first because you may not be interested. How many tunes do you want to
record?" I said, "14."  He did some math and added a bunch of numbers and
said, "In the area of 30 thousand." I said, "How soon can we start?" He
looked at the schedules and said, "First we need to make sure you like the
musicians. Take this stack of CDs and listen to them. All of these bands are
available to play on demos. For country I like the first three. The main
studio is open in three days. Call me back and let me know if you like the
bands first. Here is my card. What are your names?" I said, "Kate Rodgers and
Debbie Austin." He smiled and said, "Good names for a country act." I said,
"Those are our real names." He said, "You were born to sing country. If you
have a minute let me a hear a few tunes just to make sure I gave you the
right type of bands to listen too."

We went into the main rehearsal area and he had few guys come in with us. We
sat at the piano and I played one of our tunes and we sang it as they
listened. Then we did a slow one and then a fast boogie. He said, "You two a
really good. The first band is the one you want. Let me play their CD for you
now. The singing and material sucks which is why they haven't gone anywhere."
We listened to the playing and they were really good. I said, "Can I use your
phone to call them?"

I made the call from a speakerphone with Debbie and the studio owner. He
introduced us and I said, "We heard your CD and would like you to play on a
demo for us." The owner said, "Jerry, these two women have it all. You won't
believe their voices and material. Plus they definitely have the look." He
winked at us and we smiled. We talked about a fee and came to terms and they
wanted to meet us and learn our material. I said, "Where do you practice?"
The owner said, "Here in one of the rehearsal rooms." They were meeting us at
7 tonight and I said, "Thanks."

We shook hands with the owner and he told us he could get us a contract for
the recording tonight. We walked out and all of the guys in the studio told
us how much they liked our material and voices. We both blushed and smiled. I
said, "We have three things to do before tonight". We bought a cheap cassette
recorder and stopped at the library to get a stack of copyright forms. We
went to Debbie's house and recorded a cheesy version of each tune and filed
out the forms, wrote out the checks and mailed them. Then we dropped off the
Benz and picked up the Bentley. I said, "Now we can have sex." Debbie was
laughing at me as we went to bed and had wild sex.


CHAPTER 4 - THE RECORD COMPANY DEAL


We went to the studio at 7 and met the band. I handed them a stack of sheet
music and said, "Why don't you tell us which 14 we should record and we'll
teach you the tunes and arrangements." They were taking notes as we played
one after the other. I announced the tune and we played two verses and a
chorus. At 9 we stopped and Jerry, the guitar player said, "The tunes are all
good. The bass player said, "I like these the best." They were arguing over
it and they all agreed on ten and the other four were a toss up. We were
cracking up.

We taught them the first ten and it sounded rough at first but so good with a
band as we worked on the arrangements. The band did some background harmony
for us in a few tunes and we stopped and looked at each other as we played
the first slow tune. I had chills down my back and on my neck as the guitar
player said, "This one is magic." We kept playing until about 2 in the
morning and then I said, "We're ready to crash. Lets pick it up tomorrow.
Everyone good around 11?" They checked with the guy booking the rooms and
Harvey, the owner, was still there and said, "It's yours as long as you need
it. That sound is incredible."

Debbie and I were sitting on a piano bench and she put an unlit cigarette in
my lips and one in hers and then struck a lighter and held it for me. I took
a drag and blew out the smoke as I said, "Thanks honey." The guys were
packing up their guitars and stuff and I sucked in on the cigarette as Debbie
put her arm on my shoulder and I said, "This sounds pretty good. We just need
to tighten it up before we record it." Jerry, the guitar player, said, "We
never sounded this good before. Your music, the arrangements, and the vocals
are all top notch. If you want us to play with you on tour, we'd love to do
it." Debbie said, "We may take you up on it. Lets get the demo ready first
and get the contract."

We took the short ride home and were so excited about everything. We went to
bed and literally attacked each other. I was so horny and Debbie was laughing
at me as I was begging her to keep going at 3:30 in the morning. We finally
stooped and cuddled as we fell asleep at 4.

The alarm woke us up at 10 and did our morning routine, grabbed a quick bite
to eat at a fast food drive through, and went to the studio. The guys were
already there and rehearsing the music when we arrived and Harvey said, "They
sound really good. Listen to that guitar lick they added." We were listening
and smiling as we walked into the room.

We ran through the ten tunes again four times and they were definitely ready.
Then we worked on the next four. I said, "I want to add some piano in this
one. Check this out. Just play the tune with me." They miked the grand piano
and they played the tune. I did a piano part along with them and Debbie
nodded her head and then she added a guitar part also. We finished the song
and Jerry said, "Debbie, you play an excellent guitar. Do that chicken
picking stuff again." Debbie fingerpicked some cool stuff and the band was
smiling.

We stopped at 6 and I said, "Lets do a quick run through tomorrow after
dinner around 7 and then start the session on Saturday if everyone is okay
with working the weekend." They all were in and I asked Harvey and he said,
"This one is a definite winner. Whatever you need is okay by me."

We left in the Bentley and drove to my house to check on the progress and
they had the insides of the house on the outside of the house. Every carpet
and piece of under padding was out. I said, "Lets go home. We can't even get
in there now."

Debbie and I made love for hours that night. She called it our first
marathon, as we didn't stop until we both passed out while we were on our
sides in a 69 position licking each other. I fell asleep with my face resting
on the inside of Debbie's thigh and I woke up with my lips only inches from
her pussy. I couldn't resist and kissed it, and then licked her slowly to
wake her up. God, did I love the taste of her juices. She was moaning in her
sleep and then I felt her tongue slid into my pussy hole, as she was tongue
fucking me. We got each other off again a few times and then I sat up and
moved to lie by her face. We kissed for a long time and kept giggling at each
other. She said, "I love the matted hair look." I said, "It's called pussy
juice hair tonic." We were laughing as we hugged each other.

Debbie lit us two cigarettes and I looked at the alarm clock and said, "No
shit. It's noon." I took a drag of my cigarette as Debbie was listing all the
things we had to do today. I said, "We better get up." She looked at me and
said, "Fuck the list of things. Lets make love again." I said, "We have to
pick up the other cars." She nodded as she sucked in on her cigarette.

We finished our smokes and then went right back to caressing each other
again. We were so hooked on each other. We finally got up and showered and
then made some breakfast. We did our running around and then went to the car
dealer in the Bentley and Debbie drove the Benz back to my house and we put
it in the garage. Then she drove me back to the dealer in the Bentley and I
drove the Ferrari home. Damn was this thing fast as hell. I waited for her to
pull up to the garage and she said, "Kate, you had to hit a hundred when you
passed me. I love the sound out of that thing. It screams." I said, "I now
know why my dad was in love with this thing. You want to drive it?"

We took it out and Debbie drove it for a while too. We had a blast and then
pulled it back into the garage. We checked on the house and they were making
really good progress. The downstairs was completely done and the half of the
upstairs.

We went back to Debbie's house in the Benz and her mom pulled up just as we
were unlocking the door. I said, "How was your trip?" She said, "I have so
much to tell you two." We went outside and helped her with her overnight bag
and them we sat in the kitchen. She said, "I was in Nashville and we bought
two major labels. The best part is they promoted me to be the President of
them. Want a record deal?" We were both hugging her and I said, "You have to
hear us now." We told her the whole story and she said, "I know Harvey really
good. He does a ton of our recording and production work there. I'd love to
go and hear what you sound like as a band."

We sent out for Chinese food and then all went in the Benz as Debbie drove.
We went into the studio with Margi, and Harvey ran out and said, "Margi, good
to see you. What can we do for you?" She was smiling and said, "Debbie is my
daughter. I had no idea that Kate and her hired you to record them. I think
it's terrific. I just came to hear them with the band."

The guys in the band were setting up and Debbie introduced her mom and didn't
mention the record label yet. I said, "Lets run through all of the tunes.
Start with `Framed'." We started with one the Margi hadn't heard yet that we
wrote about being framed for a crime. It was a fast tune that you couldn't
sit still too. Frank gave us four clicks on the drumsticks to start it and we
played it like we were on stage.

Margi was smiling at the lyrics and then the killer hook chorus we had the
band sing backup on. I did my piano part in the middle and Debbie did her
guitar riff. The rest of the guys in the studio came into listen to us play
and we loved having and audience. We ended the song and Margi said, "Amazing.
Keep going."

We played all 14 tunes, one after the other, and they really sounded good.
Another band came into listen that was in the rehearsal studio and they all
clapped for us after the last tune. I said, "I think we're ready to record
them. That was really good work guys."

Margi said, "I'm not just here because Debbie is my daughter. I'm here to
listen because I am now President of the newly merged Nashville labels that
were in the news this week. I'm going to sign them if they want to do it. I
think this is a winner. Harvey, what do you think?" He said, "They are by far
the best group to ever play in here and we have had a lot of signed acts. The
material is all rock solid and radio friendly. Vocals are top notch. Plus
they have the look. Sexy and sleazy country." Margi was smiling and said, "I
totally agree. You okay with me having one of our country music engineers and
producers work here to do the mix after they finish the recording?" He said,
"No problem."

The two of them were talking business and Debbie's mom said to us, "Don't pay
him a cent. We'll cover it." They finished and I said, "How about we start at
10 tomorrow morning?" Everyone was cool with it and Harvey said, "The
engineers will be here to set up early, so come whenever you want."

Debbie drove us and her mom back home and Margi couldn't not stop talking
about how much she liked our songs and the band. When we got home Margi said,
"Stay in the kitchen with me for few minutes. I want to make a few calls."
She called some of her direct reports at the new company and said, "Hi Bill,
I know it's late on Friday night, but I need some advise for a new act I want
to sign. I know the pop and rock scene cold, but I'm new the country. The two
female singers have a band they hired for the recordings that is outstanding
and we were thinking about using them full time for tours. Who should they
talk too about contracts and reasonable terms and fees?" "Okay. You have a
few minutes? They're here with me now. My daughter is part of the act. I'll
put you on speaker." She pressed the speaker button and introduced us. Margi
was talking notes and Bill rattled off so much stuff. He said, "If you think
they'll have a hit in the charts that is in the top ten, definitely hire the
band on a long term contract. It's cheaper and you want a band that stays
constant for the tours. I recommend starting each of them out at 40 thousand
per year plus all expenses if they go for it. That covers you if you play
some small venues too where the play is not as high."

He gave us the name of a country music tour agency and contact name, a
country music attorney, and a bunch of other stuff. Then he said, "So when
can I hear the music?" Margi said, "They start the recording tomorrow. You
know Harvey from Mega-Studios don't you?" He said, "Sure, for a long time.
The guy does great work." Margi said, "They're recording it there. Give
Harvey a buzz and ask him what he thought of the act. He's probably still at
the studio now." Bill said, "I'll call him now and call you back."

We lit cigarettes and Margi handed us each a beer and opened one too. We
clicked bottles and took a swig, as Margi couldn't stop talking about our
music. We were smiling and giggling as she gave us a detailed critique of
each song she heard us play tonight and talked about how to perform them on
stage to get the audience into it more. We listened to all of the advice.

The phone rang and Margi answered it on speaker and it was Bill again. He
said, "The act must be good. Harvey always says the band sucks. This is the
first time he couldn't stop raving about it and the material. Mind if I fly
up with a producer for the recording?" Margi said, "Sure. They start tomorrow
morning at 10. I'm not sure you'll be able to get a flight this late." He
said, "We'll find one. I'll see you tomorrow."

We finished our beer and Debbie and I were nodding out in the kitchen. Her
mom said, "Go get some sleep." We set the alarm, got into bed, cuddled, and
crashed. I was out cold in seconds.

The alarm woke us up at 8:00 and Debbie said, "I was so tired last night." I
said, "Me too. Lets get showered and make some breakfast." We kissed and then
went into the bathroom. Debbie and I made love in the shower and it was so
erotic. I went down on her as she leaned back against the shower stall wall
and the warm water was beating down on us. After she orgasmed, I lapped up
her juices and then stood and kissed her under the running water. Then she
went down on me too as I held her head to my pussy.

We dressed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Margi already was
cooking and said, "Bill called and he is on his way over to the house along
with Chet Dumont who is one of the best country producers around." Debbie
said, "We spoke to him. Ginny's dad recommended him and knows him. He's one
of the producers that asked us for our demo when it was ready."

Margi asked, "What's Ginny's last name?" I said, "Karns" and Margi said,
"Small world. Her father is a big music attorney in New York. Coffee's
ready." Debbie poured us two cups and I lit us two cigarettes.

We had our cigarettes as we sipped our coffee and then we ate breakfast. We
were just finishing when the doorbell rang and Margi brought in Bill and
Chet. She introduced us and Chet said, "Didn't we talk on the phone this
week? Bob Karns called me about you two." I said, "Yup." He was smiling and
said, "So you decided to skip the whole demo process?" Debbie said, "Not
really. We had no idea that my mom would be interested in us. We wanted to
record a killer demo." Bill said, "Most of the demos we get are horrible
recordings and we expect it. We're listening for the songs, vocals, and
playing."

We gave them some coffee and Margi said, "How did you find a flight that
late?" Bill said, "We didn't. We took the 5:30 this morning into Newark."
Bill said to Margi, "So how come you kept them a secret this long?" Margi
told them what happened to us and they had their mouths hanging open. I said,
"It's not all bad. That's how Debbie and I met. Cell mates." They were
smiling and Margi said, "They wrote a song about it too and I think its one
of the singles to release. It's called `Framed.' Kate, how did you pick which
tunes to use for the CD?" I said, "We played all 54 tunes for the band and
watched them argue over which ones were the best. They all liked the first
ten the best and the other four they argued about for a while. They told us
to record two CDs of 28 tunes as they were all solid." Chet said, "That may
not be such a bad idea. Lets hear how the first one turns out."

We went to the studio in two cars. Margi went with Bill and Chet and Debbie
drove the Benz. I lit us two cigarettes and said, "Honey, we are going to be
rich country singers." She was smiling and said, "Kate, you are already
rich." I said, "Not just me, we are rich. I want us to be richer and famous."
I took a drag of my cigarette as Debbie was shaking her head and smiling.

We got to the studio and went in as the band was setting up in the main
recording studio. Margi, Bill and Chet went into the control room and were
talking to Harvey. An engineer was taking over the intercom system to us and
said, "How about we start with Framed? We'll put the instruments down first
and them do the vocals in the booths." Jerry made copies of the music for
everyone to reference without the voices in the mix and put them on music
stands. We went into the control room and sat by the huge consoles and
computers as the engineer got recording levels and then he said, "Framed.
Take 1. Rolling." The band played the music and we listened on headphones to
it. It sounded really good. The song finished and the engineer stopped the
recording and said into the intercom, "Cut." He said to us, "Lets add your
two instrument parts now."

Debbie did her guitar finger picking part first as I sat next to her and it
sounded terrific. Then I put in my piano honky tonk stuff. The engineer said,
"Someone will show you to the booths and get you set up. The band will sing
the background harmony after your tracks are down." Debbie and I went into
two different booths and I said into the mic, "This is like phone sex from
phone booths." The engineers were cracking up and we heard in our headphones,
"We're rolling it now."

Debbie and I sang our parts perfectly and it sounded so cool inside the
booths. We finished the ending line and then we heard, "Cut. Sounded great!"
We went into the control room and watched the band sing the harmony parts
around one hanging mic and we listened through the headsets. The engineer
said, "Cut. Lets do a quick mix and see how it sounds."

Chet sat at the board and worked at the speed of light moving faders, moving
knobs, setting parametric EQs, and effects as they soloed each track and then
blended them into a mix. After about 15 minutes he said, "Listen up
everyone." The engineer played it back through the main speakers in the
control room and in the studio as we all listened. Debbie and I couldn't stop
smiling, as it sounded great. The song ended and everyone clapped as Chet
said, "I think we have our first hit and that was only a quick mix. Randy,
save these settings and lets keep going."

We took a short break after each tune, but still managed to record 6 tunes in
the first day. Chet wanted Debbie and me to both play parts on a few of the
tunes and we did it. Margi and Chet were now smiling as they listened to the
mixes. Randy, the engineer, said, "That's a rap for today. Lets pick it up
tomorrow at 10. Everyone okay with that?" We all gave him the thumbs up and
Margi said, "Lets talk for a while with Bill and Chet over dinner."

We went to a local restaurant for dinner and Debbie and I lit cigarettes as
we ordered. Bill said, "We all know that the music is excellent and you are
going to become very famous and wealthy. You ready for it?" We both smiled
and I said, "You bet." Chet said, "I'd like to add a few tunes to the CD. You
have any more slow ones?" I said, "Five. No six. There is one that we wrote
that is real sad and we have trouble singing it as I get chocked up." He
said, "If it's that emotional, it's the one we want. Lets finish recording
what you already taught the band, which is fantastic, and then we'll work on
adding a few more. Your voices in the slow tunes are absolutely mesmerizing."

We talked about the contracts and Bill said, "We'll take care of getting them
done on Monday and we really want this band to play with you. They are better
musicians than any of the bands we have signed on the label. If you'd like, I
can talk business with them to make it easier for you." I said, "Thank you.
We'd appreciate that very much."

Dinner was brought to our table and we talked about a tour, merchandising,
and supporting the CD sales. Debbie said, "We're ready to play. We love
playing in front of an audience." Bill said, "As soon as the recording is
done I want you to plan on spending a few days in Nashville with the band
working with a stage choreographer, meeting with the tour agency to get that
rolling, and hire a manager. Plus you'll need roadies and techs. We'll go
over all of it later."

We ate and Debbie and I were giggling, as we had no idea there was this much
involved in putting a group on tour after a CD. We talked about our
copyrights and I said, "We sent everything into the copyright office and have
the forms." We also talked about publishing rights and we retained half of
them. Margi said, "We need to get you signed up with ASCAP or BMI. Bill,
which one handles the country music scene better?" He said, "Most of artists
are in BMI. We'll take care of it for you. That's how you get paid for the
radio, TV and movie play of your songs."

That night, Debbie and we were animals in bed. We masturbated for each other
and I watched Debbie get off. I was so hot I orgasmed within seconds of
watching her buck on her hand.  She sat on my face for almost an hour
afterward and I loved every second of it. Then she went down on me and made
me totally nuts. I was moaning nonstop as my pussy wouldn't stop cumming into
her mouth. We fell asleep cuddling after we kissed for a long time.

Over the next two days we finished recording the fourteen tunes. Chet told
the band the plans for more recording and I said, "Lets meet tomorrow at noon
in the rehearsal room. Debbie and I have a few things we have to do in the
morning."

The next morning we went to my house and paid the contractor, as he was
finishing up and it looked wonderful. He gave us back the key and said, "This
house is very nice. If you plan on leaving for a while, hire a service to
keep it up." He handed us a card of a company that does that type of work and
I said, "Thanks." I said to Debbie, "There is one more thing that I have to
do. Lets take the Ferrari."

We drove the Ferrari to the gravesite of my parents and I put flowers on the
graves and cried for almost an hour as Debbie held me. I yelled at my mother
and then forgave her and talked to my dad and told him I drove his favorite
car. Debbie was more of a basket case than I was for a while. I said, "I'm
moving into the house now and it will be mine and Debbie's, and be a very
happy home. I miss you both very much."

We both wiped our eyes and then drove to get something to eat and then to the
studio. I said to Debbie as we walked in, "Now I'm ready to sing that song."
She said, "I'm ready too. Lets try it." We went into the rehearsal room and
the band was there with Chet. I said, "We'll try that slow tune again." Chet
said, "The stage is yours."

I sat on the piano bench next to Debbie and I played the melodic
introduction. Then I sang the first four lines of the verse and Debbie sang
the next four. We did the chorus and we both had a tear in our eyes again. We
made it through the song and the ending was so powerful. As soon as we
finished we both cried. We looked up and all of the band and Chet had teary
eyes. Chet said, "I can't even imagine what you went through. Without a
doubt, that song is a number one hit. Think you can hold it together to
record it?" We both nodded as I lit a cigarette and Debbie took out sheet
music to write it all down for everyone.

We spent the day teaching the band this song and five other ones that Chet
absolutely loved. He said, "You were right. This should be a two CD set. Lets
take the rest of this week and record a total of 30 tunes."

After the day in the studio we all left together and Chet saw the Ferrari and
said, "Hey look! Ferris Bueller's here!" We all cracked up and I said,
"Except this is one of the real ones. It was my dad's. The 12th one made."

We spent the week learning the tunes and recording them. It took five takes
on the new slow song but we were finally able to sing it without crying.

We moved into my house the day we finished the session. Margi helped us move
and we sat in the kitchen afterward. She said to us, "I have to move to
Nashville to run this company. You want to help me find a place when you go
next week? I'll fly out with you." I said, "Sure." She was so happy for us
and we couldn't stop hugging her.

After dinner, Rachel and I had total orgasmic sex for hours and then took a
bubble bath together in the huge garden tub Jacuzzi in the master bedroom
suite. She made devil ears on my head with the bubbles and I made mountains
on her boobs. We were joking around and I said, "It's fun being a kid again."
She said, "Sounds like a new song to me." She was right. We wrote it after we
dried off and it was really cute.

We spent the weekend totally goofing off. Ginny and Barb came over to our
house on Saturday morning and Ginny said, "My Dad told me to tell you that
Chet can't stop talking about your music." I said, "Thanks." We played them
our "The kid inside of us" song and they loved it. They were singing the
chorus with us after the first verse and Debbie said, "Lets call Chet." I
called him and said, "We wrote a new tune that is probably more catchy that
any of them. Can we record it to add to the CDs?" We explained what it was
and read him the chorus lines and he said, "Do it. We need something like
that for a movie that's coming out." I said to Ginny and Barb, feel like
watching a recording session?" They were so excited about it. I called the
studio and then Debbie called all of the band members.

We drove the Bentley to the studio with Barb and Ginny and the guys we
pulling up at the same time. We introduced Barb and Ginny and Jerry couldn't
stop starring at Barb. She was the same way with him and we just smiled. The
song was simple and it took about an hour to teach the band and for it to
sound tight. The band loved it and Jerry said, "How did you come up with
this?" I said, "We took a bubble bath and it just happened." They were
laughing as we went into the main studio and the engineer was setting it up.
We went to the control room with Ginny and Barb and they were amazed at all
of the stuff.

It took 10 minutes to record the band. Debbie and I each added a part, and
then we did all of the vocals. Randy, the engineer, used some of Chet's
settings to do the mix and we listened to it. I said, "Can you send the raw
tracks to Chet like the other ones he already has. He did it electronically."
Randy said, "Sure. He left me instructions. I'll send it now." He sent it out
and I called Chet to make sure he got it. He said, "Got it. Hang on and let
me load it up and listen to it."

We waited for about 5 minutes on speakerphone and then we heard the song
playing and he was listening to it. It ended and he said, "It's really good
and perfect for that film. We'll add it. I'll see you on Monday."

Jerry was talking to Barb, and Frank was talking to Ginny. Ginny said,
"They're giving us a ride back to my place. See ya." Debbie smiled at me.


CHAPTER 5 - NASHVILLE


On Sunday we decided we needed some decent instruments at home. We went to
one of big music stores that's open on Sunday and we bought three guitars
that Debbie liked, a grand piano, and a small top notch electronic keyboard
setup. I paid four of the guys in the store 100 bucks each to deliver it and
they followed us home in a truck. Debbie and I goofed off all day playing
with the new toys. I loved the way her new Taylor mahogany folk guitar
sounded with the acoustic amp. The Steinway Grand was such a pleasure to
play.

We made it a finger food, popcorn, and movie night in the den and watched a
few new flicks that we wanted to see on pay per view. Then we packed for the
trip to Nashville and went to bed. Debbie was all over me. We had incredible
sex for almost 4 hours. We were both so exhausted afterwards; we kissed, and
passed out.

The alarm woke us up early and it was still dark outside. I said, "Nashville
here we come." Debbie was so hyper it was funny. I said, "Slow down honey.
We'll get there." She even brushed my teeth for me as I was doing it too
slow. I cracked up.

We took the Benz to the airport and stopped at a fast food place for some
breakfast to go. We parked in the long-term lot and took the monorail to the
airport so we wouldn't have that long walk. We saw the guys in line checking
in as we got in line also. They waved to us and Jerry walked over and said,
"Barb is a total lunatic. I never had so much fun in my life." I smiled and
said, "She sure is. How did Ginny hit it off with Frank?" He said "Good.
We'll see you on the flight."

We checked our bags and got our seats and then went through the awful
security checks to get to the gates. We got there just as the plane had
finished boarding and ran to get on before they closed the door. Debbie was
cracking up and smacking my ass as she said, "We are always late." I said,
"We made it on time. Keep hitting me, it feels good." She was laughing as we
walked onto the plane and found our seats.

Debbie's mom was sitting next to us and she said, "Chet called and told me
about the last song you recorded and let me hear it over the phone. How in
the world did you come up with that idea?" I told her about our bubble bath
and she was laughing and then covered her eyes with her hands. She looked at
us smiling and said, "Debbie, you met your perfect match with Kate. I didn't
think anyone was as nutty as you are." Debbie said, "Good night mom. We're
zoning out." We used the pillows and a blanket on the seats and were asleep
in a few minutes. Margi woke us up, as we were about to land.

Margi had two limos pick us up from the airport and take us to the record
company main building. It was a huge complex outside of the city and we went
up to see her new office. She smiled and said, "Corner office on executive
row." She introduced us and the band to the staff, and then Bill said, "Lets
get you started with the Choreographer."

He took us to an auditorium with a stage and Chet said, "Test burn of your
CDs. They sound really good. They will use these to work with you."

We met the choreographer and this guy was a total fairy. Jerry and Frank were
trying so hard not to laugh. We had to pretend that we were playing to the
CD. Jerry had an air guitar and was dying as Louie, the choreographer, showed
us what we could do on stage to the songs. The guy was a total flake, but
what he taught us made sense. He had Debbie and me all over the place in each
song and made all of us write it down and learn it. They he had me sing to
the audience and walk through the front row, and Debbie do the same thing. On
one tune he said with a loud lisp, "Turn the guys on, the straight ones
anyway. Get close and act sexy to each other." We did it and it definitely
worked, as Jerry couldn't keep his eyes off of us.

We went through all 31 songs and by 5 in the afternoon we were beat. Louie
said, "Tomorrow we try it again starting at 9. Learn your parts you sexy
creatures. It's like a play." Jerry lost it laughing and said, "Sexy
creatures?"

Margi came into the auditorium as we were leaving and said, "You feel like
seeing a good group perform at the Grand Ole Opry. I have front row seats for
all of you to see how the pros do it on stage." Jerry said with a lisp,
"Louie will be very upset with all of us if we don't learn our parts by the
morning. He called us sexy creatures and might scratch our eyes out." Margi
was howling as we walked out with her. We all did our stage moves as we
walked out and she was laughing even harder.

We checked into the hotel at the Grand Ole Opry, went to dinner together, and
then to the show. We had front row seats and we saw so many goof ups. The
performers were good, but they made a ton of mistakes and nobody in the
audience noticed, except us. After the show ended, we were asked by a
security guard to come backstage and we did. We met the bands and the singers
for the second part of the show and I said, "We liked your music." One of
them said, "How about the show?" None of us said anything and then Jerry
said, "It was okay, but the music was great." One of the band members from
the show said, "I told you the show sucks. Tell us honestly and don't worry
about hurting our feelings. What was wrong with it?" None of us has any
problem with being bashful and we told it to them straight. I said, "We sat
in the front row and most people in the audience didn't notice any of what we
saw. The crowd liked you and so did we." The guy that asked us said, "Rumor
has it that you are the next super star artists. We're dying to hear your
music." Bill was listening and said, "Take one and I really do want you to
critique it honestly. The covers are being printed." He had a box of our CDs
without the jackets on them yet and handed them out. One of the performers
said, "Lets listen to it now. Come with us."

We walked to the dressing rooms and he put the CD into a stereo system in the
lounge and our first tune came on. We did our rehearsed stage show and they
were listening to the music and laughing at us. Jerry was acting like a fairy
and someone yelled out, "Louie?" We all were laughing.

We went through every song as they listened to them and we did our stage
routine. When it was over, one of the performers said, "That's excellent. I
love that slow tune Missing You Both. Hell, any one of those can be a hit.
Want to write some tunes for us?" I said, "Not yet. We still have a world to
conquer." He said, "I understand. Can we keep these?" Bill said, "Sure." They
all wanted to see our first show and I felt so good about our music now.

Rachel and I went up to our room and we were lying in bed talking about what
it was going to be like once we were famous. I said, "Everyone will bug you
all the time and you'll have no privacy in public places." She looked me in
the eyes and said, "I can't wait." We both cracked up and then made love.

The next day we did our stage show perfectly and Louie acted like Tinker
Bell. Jerry had to run to the men's room because he started to piss in his
pants from laughing so hard. That afternoon was photo shoots for all of us
and then Debbie and I interviewed managers. Bill told us, "This business is
horrible when it comes to the money. Everyone will be out to fuck you over.
Grill them and then ask yourself if I want to be attached at the hip to this
person for a minimum of three years and give then 10 percent of what you
make. I prescreened the ones you're talking too, but don't trust them."
Debbie said to me, "That was reassuring."

We interviewed three men and they all were so slimy. We hated all of them.
Then we interviewed a woman who was in her mid twenties and she was funny,
personable, and had a very different pitch. She said, "The deal is simple. I
start at 5 percent of new business only. In three months we either agree that
I go to 10 percent because you are happy with my work, or we part friends.
Anything you negotiated before our contract is grand fathered, so you don't
owe me for any of it." I said, "Do you have a problem working with gay women?
We are bi-sexual, but partners." She said, "No problem at all. I'm bi too."

We asked for references and she gave us letters from some big name acts. She
said, "I want to handle a major act and devote full time to it. I want to
make sure you make more money than the catholic church so we all get filthy
rich." Debbie smiled and said, "I like your attitude. When can you start?"
She said, "As soon as we sign the agreement." She handed us two copies of a
contract and I said, "We're very interested. Let us have an attorney review
it first." I said, "Take this copy of our first CD to be released so you know
what you're getting into. The jackets aren't done yet."

We asked Chet and Bill who we should use as an attorney and Chet said, "Bob
Karns. He is by far the best." We called Ginny from our room and told her
about our life as a star so far and she was cracking up about Louie. Then we
spoke to her dad. He said, "Fax it to me at home now and I'll read it over
and call you back at the hotel."

We went to the lobby and faxed the contact to him. Then we ordered some
dinner to be delivered to our room. We took the elevator back up and Debbie
said, "Tomorrow is the tour agency. That should be fun." I said, "Do I detect
a slight bit of sarcasm?" She was smiling and said, "Never! From me?"

We went into the room and turned on the TV and our dinner arrived in about 20
minutes. The phone rang and Debbie answered it. She said, "Hi mom." "No we're
eating in the room right now waiting for Ginny's father to call us back about
the manager's contract. We found someone we like and she is very unique."
"Sure stop up. Room 762."

Debbie sat with me and we started to eat as she said, "My mom is bring in up
the proofs of the covers and CD jacket for us to see." We had the best Filet
Mignon I have ever had. I said, "It cuts like butter. Someone must have
beaten the shit out of this cow." Debbie was laughing and nodding her head.

After we finished eating, Margi came up to the room and we looked at the
pictures. They made us look so sexy. She said, "I like this one the best.
Both of you look terrific." We agreed and then we looked at the insert jacket
and that was so cool. We just smiled and Margi said, "They did good work on
this." I'll have them start final production tomorrow and it could be in
stores in about 3 days. We'll do a radio release a day earlier. Oh I forgot
tell you something also. Your song about being a kid was signed today to a
major film. That could be some good publicity and decent money too. The movie
is scheduled for release in 4 weeks. They're in final edits now."

Debbie said, "Mom, that's great! But how could you forget to tell us that?"
Her mother was smiling and said, "Because I'm working on a much bigger deal
for you guys. I'm not saying anything though until it becomes reality."

The phone rang and it was Ginny's dad and he walked us through the contract
changes we needed. He said, "I faxed them back to you at the hotel. Let me
explain why they are important." He went through every line and told us why
it was bad. There were things we would never have thought of. He said, "If
you need me again on this please give me a call. Tell Chet I'm expecting a
Grammy after his bragging. He'll know what I mean." Debbie said, "Thanks and
we'll tell him."

We went to pick up the fax at the lobby and then called Carrie back. I said,
"Hi, its Kate Rodgers. We got the changes from our attorney. Can we fax them
too you?" "You're here in this hotel?" "Come up to our room. We're in 762."
She was in our room in about 5 minutes and we sat at the table and went
through the changes. I explained what the attorney told us and Carrie said,
"I'm fine with those. Let me make a copy at the business office and I'll have
the contracts changed tomorrow." I showed her the proofs of the CD cover and
the jacket and she said, "Damn, you look hot." We were both smiling as she
said, "I'll be back in 10 minutes."

We lit two cigarettes and listened to the radio that was part of the TV as we
relaxed on the chairs. Debbie said, "We should talk strategy with Carrie
about the tour agency. She may have a better idea and we are totally stupid
about this stuff." I took a drag of my cigarette and said, "I agree." Debbie
sucked in on her cigarette and blew out a plume of smoke into the air and
then leaned over to me and gave me a big wet kiss. We finished our cigarettes
as we waited.

Carrie came back to our room and I said, "Since this is pretty much a done
deal, lets talk about our strategy a little. We're meeting with tour agency
tomorrow." She sat down and said, "Don't sign up. I ran the tour for four
bands and it's easy. The agencies will charge you a fortune. It's so much
easier to rent the equipment, lease the buss and trucks, and hire temps to do
the work. That's what they do anyway. You still have to do your own
promotions. Trust me on this. Go hear them out so you understand what's
involved but don't waste our money." We were smiling and I said, "I like how
you said our money. Carrie, where do you live?" She said, "My things are in
storage in New York City. I was waiting to relocate until I found a new act
to manage. It will be where ever you guys are based out of. Where do you
live?" I said, "We live in New Jersey and I have a huge home. You are more
than welcome to move in with us if you want. We are going to be working close
on everything." She said, "How huge?" Debbie said, "6.5 million huge." Carrie
said, "I'll take you up on it until I find a place of my own there." We shook
hands and I said, "We'll be home on Saturday. Why don't you stop over with
the contracts and we'll show you the house also." I wrote down the address
and the phone number. She said, "Sounds good. I can be there around noon.
That okay?" I said, "That's fine. We'll see you on Saturday."

The next day we went to the tour agency and were treated like shit. We
listened to the sales pitch to land clients and thanked them. We also took
copies of the contracts in case we changed our minds.

Margi asked us and the band to stop over in the afternoon and we sat in her
office as she said, "Good news. Kate and Debbie are doing a TV talk show to
launch your first CD. It's being broadcast from New York on Monday. Second is
that you are making in a guest appearance on Friday night's Grand Ole Opry
stage to play three tunes. You go on between the two acts that are booked
that night. It's being televised on CMT as part of the concert. I called the
studio yesterday and all of your equipment should be here now or sometime
this afternoon. Check it out to make sure all of it's there. We have spare
everything if it isn't."

We were all smiling. Chet and Bill came in and Chet handed us a list and
said, "I think you should play these songs, in this order." Margi read it and
said, "Good choice." We all wanted to jump up and scream. Jerry was the only
one to do it and we all laughed. I said, "Chet, we have a message for you
from Bob Karns. He said that he expects a Grammy based on your bragging.
Whatever that means." Bill, Chet, and Margi were laughing and Bill said, "He
was bragging about your act." Debbie and I blushed and her mom was really
laughing now.

Debbie and I had totally outrageous sex that night in the hotel and then sang
our songs in bed to each other off key. We spent so much time laughing about
it our sides hurt.

On Friday we called Carrie and told her to it come over at 6 for dinner as we
had take a flight Saturday morning instead of Friday. We told her why and she
said, "Debbie, God bless your mother. No record company does stuff like
that." We told her about the TV show too and she said, "Excellent. I'll see
you at 6."

We had the radio on in the room and we heard three of our songs playing. We
screamed each time one of them came on the air. About 20 minutes later the DJ
said, "The lucky few seeing the show tonight at the Grand Ole Opry will get a
free extra treat. Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin will be giving a guest
performance. I am completely in love they're new CD. This is a must buy for
everyone. Now here is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard since
becoming a DJ here at your Nashville number one hot spot. It's written and
performed by Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin." We heard our slow song again
and Debbie jumped up and screamed, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Then she wrapped her arms
around me and gave me the wettest kiss. I said, "Lets get ready honey. We're
on in an hour."

We got ready and then went downstairs and to the backstage entrance. The guys
were already there and we went into the dressing room area. I said, "All of
the equipment there?" Jerry said, "It's all set." I said, "Remember the moves
on stage. Let's knock them dead."

We had a cigarette as we waited and heard the band finishing up their show.
Someone came to get us and said, "You're on. Break a leg!" We walked out on
the stage behind the curtain and all of our gear was ready to go. Debbie and
I each took a cordless mic and we heard us being announced. The curtain
raised and Frank clicked us off. We played our hearts out. Debbie and I
walked to the audience and flirted and everything else. We danced with each
other as sexy as we could and the band played fantastic. We each played our
part on instruments on the stage and then we sang the chorus again. We ended
the song and got a standing ovation and we were in shock.

We saw Margi in the front row with Chet and Bill and I said into mic, "How'd
we do boss?" They were cheering and I said, "We're going to take it down a
notch for this next tune. It's a sad one that has some special meaning to
Debbie and me. We hope you like it." The lights dimmed and we sang our hearts
out with the slow tune. We were too excited to cry but really felt this song
every time we did it. The music builds in this one and then we all come in
singing loud towards the end. I could see tears on almost everyone's face in
the audience. We ended the song and the cheers were almost deafening.

Frank started the beat for the next tune and Debbie and I walked to the front
of the stage and I said, "Wipe those eyes and put on your dancing shoes. This
one is called Framed. Are your Ready? 1,2,3,4" We started singing as the band
came in and the crowd went wild. Everyone did the parts on stage and it was
terrific. Jerry was smiling at us and so was Mel playing the bass. We played
our part a little different this time. Debbie jumped up and stood on the
grand piano as she played the guitar finger picking part and then I played
the piano honky tonk as she sat with her legs over my shoulders. The place
went crazy and then we both danced to the front of the stage and sang our ass
off.

We finished the song and the audience was standing and cheering. I said,
"Thank you so much. Thank you. Come see us on tour." We all bowed and the
cheers and clapping got louder. Debbie and I put our arms over each other's
shoulder and bowed, and then we walked off stage with the band.

We were all totally nuts backstage; jumping and hugging each other. The band
that was going on next came up to us and said, "One hell of an act to follow.
You were great." We thanked them and the band that was on before us said the
same thing. Margi, Bill, and Chet came backstage and they were all hugs. Chet
said, "You two are naturals on stage. I have never seen anyone be so
comfortable in a mobbed place like this. It was incredible; the music, show,
everything. You get an A+."  Margi said, "I'll call you over the weekend. I'm
staying here in the hotel until I find a place. You were both outstanding and
I am so proud." We hugged her and she said, "I have to watch our next act. I
hope they can do what you did."

Chet sat with us for a minute and said, "Debbie, your mom is something very
special in this business. We love working for her and she is so proud of you.
Take care of her if she ever needs it. She's one of a kind, just like you two
are. Good luck with the TV show on Monday and by the way, your songs are
playing almost non-stop on stations everywhere. They are being requested like
crazy. Congrats. You made it to the big leagues." It finally sunk in and we
both screamed as we hugged each other. Chet was laughing and patted our
shoulders and then he went out to the front row again.

I yelled over, "Band meeting for 1 minute." They all came over smiling and I
said, "Everyone played great. We hired a manager to run our tour and we're
signing the contracts on Saturday night. Lets touch base on Monday night
after the TV show. We should have some info about the plan for gigs. Everyone
flying back on the flight at 9?" They all nodded and I said, "Well see you at
the airport." Each one of them hugged us again and Jerry said, "You two will
make everyone tons of money. You were great on stage, not good, great!"

We went up to our room and we were walking on air. People stopped us in the
lobby to ask for autographs and we were in shock. We signed about 30 of them
smiling and I asked "How did you like our new tunes?" We got so many
compliments and I said, "Thanks."

We went to the room and we were so hyped up we were nuts. We acted like
little kids and bounced on the bed laughing at each other. Then we did it
naked and got so hot for each other. I set the alarm for tomorrow morning and
then we made love for hours. Debbie crawled on top of me in a 69 position and
we ate each other senseless. I had my arms around her ass and was fingering
her butt hole as I licked her pussy. Debbie was moaning loud enough to wake
the dead and then she did it to me also and I was moaning just as loud.


CHAPTER 6 - BACK HOME AGAIN


We met the band at the airport in the morning and took the flight back to
Newark. Our limos were waiting to take us home and I said, "We'll talk to you
on Monday." Debbie and I got into our limo and we lit cigarettes as the
driver pulled away. I gave him the address and he nodded as I turned on the
country music station here and we heard one of our tunes. We both smiled and
the driver said, "I love that song. The CDs are completely sold out in the
stores." I said, "We may be able to help. That's us on the CD. You have a
cell phone in here?" He handed it too me and I called Margi at the hotel and
said, "Hi. It's Kate. We're in the limo heading home and the driver told us
that our CDs are completely sold out in the stores already." I asked the
driver, "Which stores?" He named three and I told Margi. She said, "That's
real good. I'll take care of it. You should have a box of them waiting for
you at home." I said, "Thanks." I handed the driver back the phone and said,"
Hand around when you drop us off. We should have a box of them here and we'll
give you one." He said, "You're really serious. That's you on the CD?" I
said, "Yup. Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin. That's us. We played at the Grand
Ole Opry last night." He smiled and said, "I'll be damned."

They played four of our tunes in the short ride home and we were laughing
about it. We pulled into the gate and I saw the box by the front door. I
said, "If you can carry our bags in I'll get that box and get you a CD." He
took our bags and I brought the box inside and we opened it. We both signed a
CD and gave it to him. He looked at the cover and said, "It really is you.
God damn." We were smiling as he walked out.

I said, "We have one to send out now." I wrote a note wishing everyone well
and Debbie and I signed it, and the CD. We addressed the package to our
friends at the detention facility and then went to the post office and mailed
it. We stopped at a deli to get some sandwiches to take home, and stopped at
a wireless store to get us each a cell phone. We were total nut cases in the
car calling each other to make sure they worked. Debbie was fucking around
with it and accidentally sent me a picture of her titties while I was driving
and I almost ran off the road. I was smiling and said, "How did you do that?"
She was cracking up and said, "I have no idea."

We ate our sandwiches and I called Jerry. I said, "We have a box of our CDs
here if you want to pick one up for each of the guys." He said, "I'll be
right over. Give me the address again." We gave him the address and he said,
"See ya in 15 minutes."

We had some chips and a soda as we waited for Jerry. I called Ginny and Barb
also and told them we had some CDs and they were both coming over too. I lit
a cigarette and Debbie said, "It's just starting to sink in. We really did
it." I said, "This is only the start. Honey, we are going to be known by our
first names like Britney, Mariah, Kelly, Regis, and Tiger. Then we've made
it."

Jerry pulled up to the front entrance and we let him in. He said, "Nice
house." I said, "Stick around. Barb and Ginny are coming over too." I gave
him the CDs and he said, "Excellent." Debbie said, "They are sold out in the
stores here already. My mom is having more shipped now."

Ginny and Barb came in and they yelled, "You in here somewhere?" I yelled,
"We're lost in the kitchen." They came in and hugged us both and Barb kissed
Jerry like a porno flick. We were all laughing. I said, "This is it. We
played at the Grand Ole Opry last night." Barb said, "I know. We watched it
on TV and you were terrific. I couldn't believe that it was you. Kate, that
slow song made me cry. Debbie was outrageous playing guitar on top of the
piano. Everyone is talking about the show. Your CDs are sold out everywhere."

Jerry said, "We're all going out tonight. You want to join us?" Ginny said,
"Count us in." I said, "We'd love too but we have the manager coming over for
dinner and the contracts." Jerry said, "If she leaves early, this is where
we'll be." He wrote down the club and the address. I looked at it and said,
"I use to sing Karaoke there once in a while. We'll be there by nine. Debbie,
you want to sing to our tune? We'll wear our hair different so no one will
recognize us." Everyone was laughing as Debbie said, "Lets do it."

They left and within ten minutes Carrie showed up. She rang the bell and when
I answered it she had a little girl with her. I said, "Hi. I'm Kate. Who are
you?" She was so cute and said, "I'm Lisa." I said, "Come on inside." Carrie
said, "I'm sorry that I had to bring my daughter. My mother usually sits for
me but she's sick." I said, "No problem. Come on in and we'll show you
around." We walked around the downstairs and showed them the house and the
backyard with the pool. We went upstairs and I said, "We are in the master
suite but there are 9 other empty bedrooms. All of them have their own
private bath."

We went downstairs again and I said, "We didn't get a chance to go grocery
shopping. You like Italian food? Lisa, what do you like to eat?" She said,
"Pizza." I said, "How about we get her some pizza and I'll order us a veal
dinner. This place makes terrific veal." Carrie said, "That would be great. I
saw you on TV and you guys are so unbelievable. I'm worried that I may not be
able to live up to your expectations."

I said, "We are really good at a couple of things. One of them is sex and
then other is making music. Other than that we suck." Lisa was laughing and
said to Carrie, "Mom, she said a bad word." I said, "I sure did and don't you
repeat it." We were all laughing and I said, "Carrie, if you can do what you
told us you could do, we want you to manage us. If you fail at it, then we'll
both move on. We like you and that's half of the battle in this business.
Most of the people are total jerks. We want to get a gig plan for the road
and start playing as soon as possible. We need someone to sell us to the
media and sell us to bring in the crowds at the gigs. We also need someone to
manage the whole thing. If you can do it, we want you." She said, "I can
definitely do it."

She gave us the changed contracts and showed us exactly what was changed.
Debbie and I read the changes and then we signed both copies. Mary signed
them also and I said, "Now we're in business. First thing is dinner." I
called the Italian place and ordered dinner and pizza, I said, "You still
deliver?" "Great. 12 Willowbend Road. The gate will be open." "Thanks."

We gave Carrie one of our CDs and she said, "I listened to the pre-production
one and it was fantastic." She took out a bunch of papers and said, "This is
the plan I had for gigs and what I call mini-tours. You make more money
playing the gigs that pay more, than trying to fill up every night on long
road trips. Each mini-tour will last 3-4 weeks, which then gives you two
weeks off afterward. It also gives you time to work on new material, which is
why most bands fizzle out. They burn out on the road. I made some calls and
we have interest at all of the venues that I checked. With your CD sales we
should be able to book these solid and demand top money. The hardest part is
funding the advertising. We used a bank in the last group, but they had a
long history." I said, "I am the bank. How much are we talking about?" She
said, "Cash flow should be limited to about 100 grand draw down."

Debbie said, "That's no problem. If you need more to do it right and it will
make us more, than just ask." We're doing a TV show on Monday that should
generate sales of the CD also, which will also generate more interest for us.
How about the merchandising at the concerts?" She said, "I have to call your
mom about what the record company has in place to support it, or if we do it
on our own." I said, "I'll save you the call." Debbie called her mom from the
speakerphone and she said, "Hi mom. We have our manager with us and she had a
question. This is Carrie." Carrie said, "Hi. What programs do you have in
place for merchandising, or do we have to do it all ourselves?" Margi said,
"We do a lot of it. Give Bill a call on Monday and he can get you all the
details. Take good care of my daughters."  I said, "Thanks mom!" She was
laughing and said, "I found a place. It's so cheap here. Kate you'll love
this. 1.2 million for a place bigger than yours." I said, "Did you buy it
yet?" She said, "I made an offer and I'm waiting for a call back." Debbie
said, "Thanks mom. Call us when you find out if you got the place."

We hung up and I gave Bill's phone number to Carrie and she said, "That was
easy." We spend an hour going through everything and then the dinner was
delivered. Lisa was in heaven with the pizza and we were all smiling. I asked
her, "You like musicians?" She said, "No way! I hate to eat vegetables." We
were cracking up and Carrie was blushing. I said, "Lisa, how old are you?"
She said, "Four and a half." I said, "Ask your mother about learning to eat
musicians." I thought Carrie was going to piss in her pants and Debbie
stopped breathing.

We joked around and got to know each other as we ate. Lisa finished and I
said, "You can watch TV if you want. It's in the Den. I'll show you." I held
her hand and took her into the den and let her change the stations with the
remote. She was all set and I went back to the kitchen. I said, "She's
channel surfing the cartoon stations." We talked more about the overall game
plan and we liked what we heard. Carrie said, "I'm going to look for a place
around here tomorrow for us and my mother, who is my built in baby sitter. On
Monday I should be able to nail down the first mini-tour dates and I also
have a lead on two TV show appearances playing live which could be at the end
of next week. As soon as we get the dates and venues, we'll start the
advertising. You have any preferences on a front act that goes on before you?
If not, I'll make some calls to get someone that's good. With your fast
notoriety now, it should be easy to get acts to play first."

I said, "Until you move into a place, you are more than welcome to use our
house. The only thing that bothers me is the back yard pool. Does Lisa know
how to swim?" Carrie said, "She's like a fish. I'll take you up on it if you
don't mind my mom being with us for a few weeks also." I said, "That's cool
as long as she doesn't tell us what to do." Carrie said, "She's really laid
back and was a singer years ago." I have to run to get my mom in New York and
bring her back to a the hotel room we rented for the weekend so we came house
hunt." I said, "Remember, the house is available. Just give us a call." She
said, "I will. Now where is that kid of mine?" We went into the den and she
was watching a cartoon and glued to the TV. I said, "We'll see you soon
Lisa." She said to me, "Did my mom get the job?" I said, "Yeah she did." She
jumped and said, "Oh good. Now we can move again. I hate New York. Its so
yucky." Carrie was laughing and said, "I'll call you."

We got dressed to go out and we both decided to wear our hair normal. Debbie
said, "I want people to know who we are. That's part of the fun." We took one
of our CDs and put it in the Bentley and I drove to the club. We got to the
place and I said, "This is country in Jersey." Debbie said, "This is nice.
Hey, there's Jerry." We walked over to the table and they had two chairs for
us. There were six pitchers of beer and they poured us two glasses.

Jerry made a toast to all of us and we clicked glasses and took a sip. Jerry
said, "This should be funny. 9 people signed up for Karaoke so far and 3 are
doing your tunes. You going to sign up?" I said, "It wouldn't be fair. Plus
if the press got wind of it we would be laughed at. Lets ride the wave were
on. It's going to run for a long time." Debbie told them about my comment
with Lisa about eating musicians and they were all howling. I said, "I was
afraid to go get her in the Den. She could have been watching porn and I
didn't even think about it when I gave her the channel changer." We told the
band about the mini-tours and they loved the idea. I said, "This is going to
happen faster than we thought. Carrie has to prove herself as our manager or
she's out and we get another one. It's part of the contract. We like her and
really think she can do it."

The announcer announced the first person to sing and we clapped and Debbie
was whistling. The guy got up and was so bad and off key. We were laughing so
hard we were crying. By the forth act we had to go to the bathroom to piss so
we didn't wet our pants. When we got back we heard the first person doing one
of our tunes and Debbie was laughing so hard she couldn't breath. No noises
were coming out. Then the singer got confused as to where she was in the song
and everyone in the place was laughing. She ran off the stage and Debbie
couldn't even speak. I had tears running down my face as one act was worse
than the last one and my sides hurt.

Jerry was beat read from laughing so hard. So was Barb. They announced
another person to do our slow song and a group of five people walked on
stage. We all paid attention to this one and we heard the music start and
then a woman sang my part and she was really good. Another girl sang Debbie's
part and then all of them sang in perfect harmony like we do. I was feeling
the emotion from the song from them and so was everyone else. By the last
verse Debbie and I stood and watched them sing as both of us were crying. We
cheered as loud as we could when they finished. So did the guys in the band.
We stood clapping of over 5 minutes and then the people who sang on stage
recognized us and were pointing to our table. I waved and motioned for them
to come over. We all wiped our eyes and they came over to us.

I said, "That was better than we do it. Please join us." We did introductions
and all of us had teary eyes. I said, "Are you in a band?" Brandy the lead
singer said, "Yeah. We love your CD. God did that song move us when we first
heard it. We still have trouble singing it." Debbie said, "Us too." I said,
"Do you have a demo CD of your group?" Brandy said, "Yeah, but it sucks. Our
material is nowhere near to what you write. We love country, but our writing
skills and poor at best." I said, "Can you get me one of your CDs?" Brandy
said, I have one in my car." I said, "I'll make you a trade for one of ours."

I went to the car with her and gave her one out of the Bentley and she gave
me theirs. She said, "You all have to sign it." We went back inside and we
all signed it for them and I said, "Any interest in playing music someone
else writes?" Debbie knew exactly where I was going with this and she said,
"Any interest in playing in front of top name acts on a mini-tour to get
noticed?" They all said yes.

We asked them where they lived and what they did for money now.  All of them
were in college and were looking to get out and play music for a living.
Debbie said, "You mind if we take 10 minutes and listen to part of your CD in
our car?" Brandy said, "Enjoy it." Debbie and I went to the Bentley and put
on their CD. We listened to the music and voices and musically they were all
good. The songs really sucked. We played about 30 seconds of each tune and
then ejected it and went back inside. I said, "Musically you all sound great.
The vocals are solid too. The songs really do suck. Debbie and I have 24
songs that we didn't record and at the rate we write tunes, we'll always have
extras. Any interest in playing 14 or so of our tunes and if it works out you
could front for us in 8 mini-tours and maybe get you signed to the label
we're on." Brandy said, "Can we start tonight?"

We were all laughing and I said, "Where do you practice?" Melissa, the other
singer and keyboard player, said, "We lost our place last week and are
looking for a practice studio that doesn't charge and arm and a leg." Debbie
said, "For what we're doing, the cost doesn't matter. Can you guys meet us at
a studio tomorrow? Lets see if we can get it reserved." I called Harvey and
said, "Hi Harvey. It's Kate Rodgers." "Thanks. It was your studio." "Yeah the
guys are doing great too. You see us on TV on Friday?" "Do you have a
rehearsal room that we can rent for a few days? It's not for our band, but
another group that I want to work with to see if they can play some of our
tunes we didn't record and maybe get them signed and tour with us." "Tomorrow
at noon if one is open." "That would be great. We'll see you then." I wrote
down the address and said, "Mega Studios on route 10 at noon. You don't have
to sound like us. It's actually better if you don't because producers and
record labels what uniqueness in the sound of an act. Debbie and I will play
each tune and then teach it to you to see how it sounds. We want you to make
them your own, in arrangements or whatever."

They wanted to hear them tonight and I said, "Feel like talking the party
back to our place?" I said, "Someone has to stop and pick up beer. We have
nothing." Jerry said, "That would be me." I handed him two hundred dollar
bills and he said, "You want the place filled?" I said, "What ever fits in
your car and we'll all unload it."

I gave everyone the address and then they followed me to the house. Except
for Jerry and Barb who stopped at a liquor store. We pulled into the driveway
and I pointed to the front entrance as we pulled into the garage. We went
into the house and opened the front door for everyone. Jerry was pulling up
and I said, "Grab a package on the way in." We went to his car and each of us
took a 12 pack inside. We put the cold stuff in the refrigerator and the warm
in the garage. They all wanted to know if the Ferris Bueler car was real. I
said, "Yup. It's a real Ferrari."

We had a beer and went into our newly converted music room. Everyone sat on
couches as Debbie and I sat at the piano. She strummed a guitar and we played
the first tune. We did a little more than half and I said, "Be very honest
and yell out a rating from 1 to 10. Ten being the best." They all rated it
either a 7 or an 8. I wrote down 7.5 on the sheet of paper and went to the
next one. I played it like before and this one got a 9.5. Debbie lit us two
cigarettes and we told jokes for a few minutes and then when everyone was
laughing we played another tune. This one got a 10. We went through all 24
and stopped to tell jokes after every few tunes and the guys in our band
loved it. I said, "Now we see which ones were the best. Brandy, can you sort
these in order of highest to lowest?" I handed her the stack and took a drag
of my cigarette and a sip of my beer.

She gave me back the papers and I said, "We have 9 songs that are a 10, and 5
that are a 9.5, followed by 3 that are a 9.  17 tunes should be enough for a
show." Brandy said, "Can we try singing one now?" I took the first tune and
said, "Listen to us do it one more time." Debbie and I sang and played a
verse and chorus and Brandy said, "I love this song." We played it for her
and she sang it great. Much different than us and but it was good. Then
Melissa got up and sang a harmony part to some of it and I said, "That sounds
good. Jerry, what do you guys think?" They all loved the idea and liked they
way they sang. I said, "All of you can join us at the studio tomorrow if you
want. The faster we get a group that can tour with us that is good, the
faster we can advertise the gigs and all make more money." That got their
attention.

We all had a few more beers and Brandy and Melissa were getting plastered. We
all were. Ginny was drooling and Barb want to fuck on the floor for everyone
to watch. We had a blast and at 2 AM I said, "No one is leaving. You're all
too smashed to drive. Take any bedroom except the master suite.  Jerry had to
carry Barb upstairs and we were all laughing. We were so smashed.


CHAPTER 7 - BUILDING THE BUSINESS


Everyone seemed to find a place to sleep and we flopped on our bed. Debbie
and I undressed and we were kissing and holding each other. We heard Jim,
from the other band, stumbling in the hallway and he staggered into our room
naked and flopped on the bed saying, "You're not Brandy. Hey Brandy! Where
are you?" We were laughing our ass off and he passed out cold. Brandy came
running in naked and was laughing. I said, "Join the party." She was blushing
as she walked up to the bed. I grabbed her hand and said, "We don't bite, or
at least not hard anyway." Debbie was laughing and she grabbed Brandy's hand
with me and we pulled her into bed with us.

Debbie and I kissed each other like we always do and Brandy watched us
closely. Then I kissed her. Debbie was kissing my ear and whispering, "This
is so hot honey." I broke the kiss and Debbie kissed Brandy the way I did. I
was getting so wet watching her. Jim was stirring around and I said, "Mind if
we abuse your boyfriend?" Brandy was laughing and kissed both of us again and
then said softly to us, "He will sleep through all it. I guarantee it."

We were all smiling as we dragged Jim into the center of the bed and he just
smiled a little and dosed back off. I bent over him and sucked his cock into
my mouth and was bobbing my head up and down until he was as hard as rock. I
said, "Who wants the first ride?" Brandy was laughing as Debbie held Jims
cock in her hand and said to me, "Sit down honey."

I climbed on him as Debbie positioned his cock into my pussy and I rode him
for about 10 minutes as Debbie and Brandy rubbed my clit and sucked my
nipples to get me off. I had a screaming orgasm and Jim was still sound
asleep. Debbie said, "I love it. A live dildo." We were cracking up as I held
his cock and Debbie rode him as Brandy and I got her off.  Watching Debbie
get off was making me so wet. Bandy put her hand into my pussy and kissed me
as Debbie orgasmed.

We changed positions again and Brandy got her rocks off and we made her
totally nuts. She got off of Jim and said, "He never lasts this long when
he's awake. I need to get him drunk more often." We were all cracking up and
I said, "Anyone for a protein desert?" We knelt over Jim's cock and
alternated sucking it. I deep throated him and then bobbed my head up and
down. We all did it for about 10 minutes and then when I was sucking him I
felt his cock pulsate and jerk a little as a blast of warm cum shot out into
my mouth. I kept on going and he stirred a little as squirt after squirt of
cum filled my mouth. Debbie was kissing my ear and said, "Honey this is so
hot. Show us the cum."

I raised my head and opened my mouth so they could look at it and then I
kissed Debbie and pushed some into her mouth and then kissed Brandy and gave
her some too. The three of us kissed for about 5 minutes as we swallowed all
of it. I was on fire.

We made a three-way pussy licking chain and I orgasmed so many times I lost
count. We lit cigarettes after about an hour and Brandy said, "Lets take
another horse ride. That was fun." I took a drag of my cigarette and was
giggling as Debbie said, "It was so hot when you showed us the cum in your
mouth. Kate, I wanted to suck out your tonsils." Brandy smiled and said, "I
think I did suck out your tonsils and half your tongue." I grinned nodding my
head. We finished our cigarettes and then we brought Jim's cock back to life
and he was still out cold. I said, "Is he dead?" Brandy was laughing and
said, "You would think so. This is normal for him, believe it or not."

We took turns riding him again for about an hour. We each got off twice. Then
we sucked him off again. This time he came into Debbie's mouth and I was on
fire beyond belief when she showed me the cum. The three of us swapped the
cum a few times and played with it before we swallowed. We were so out of
control.

The three of us went to the bathroom and pissed out about 2 cans of beer
each, and then went back to bed. Jim hadn't moved and Brandy kissed him
goodnight and cuddled with us.

We woke up about 9 and Debbie and I kissed and were caressing each other, as
Brandy got into the act with us. We each had another orgasm and then Jim
started to wake up. Brandy said, "Should we tell him?" I said, "Hell yeah.
This is funny as hell."

The three of us were laughing as Jim sat up. He looked at his naked body and
then looked at us under the covers together. Brandy said, "We were very bad
girls last night honey." He said, "You three did it and I was asleep? Why
didn't you wake me up? This has been my life long fantasy." We were cracking
up and Brandy said, "We tried. We fucked you in your sleep for almost 2
hours. We gave you two blowjobs too and you won't wake up." We were laughing,
as he said, "No way!" I said, "Way! I thought you were dead." Jim was smiling
and yelled, "Oh shit I missed it! I missed it! Did you at least tape it so I
could watch it?"

Brandy said, "Nope. Suffer bitch." He was so disappointed and we were
cracking up again. I said, "We should get everyone up soon. Come on honey,
shower time." Brandy and Jim got up and we went into our bathroom.

When we went downstairs and the crew was already there. I said, "Who feels
like running to the dinner to get us all some breakfast?" Brandy said, "I'll
go." I gave her some money and the keys to the Bentley and she said, "The
Bentley. Wow!" We made a list of what to get and I called the dinner and
ordered it as Debbie made coffee.

Debbie and I sipped some coffee as Jim was still blushing and couldn't
believe what we did. He told everyone and also made a point of telling us
that his dick was killing him. We were all laughing our ass off.

Barb told us that Ginny set a new world's record for the most cocks in one
person at the same time. We listened and couldn't stop laughing as Ginny was
blushing every shade of red. I said, "That's why God invented beer." Debbie
said, "Good name for a song." She dragged me into the music room and wrote a
verse from the top of her head using some music we already started to write
last week. Everyone was clapping as we put together a chorus that ended with,
"That's why God invented beer."

Brandy came back with the breakfast and said, "Okay. What did I miss?" We
told her and she was cracking up as we all went into the kitchen and ate.

We finished eating and the band had to get some of their gear so they left
and were meeting us at the studio. The guys, Barb, and Ginny helped us pick
up the tons of empty beer cans and bottles. I said, "Leave everything else.
The cleaning service comes tomorrow anyway."

We went to the studio and Harvey was all smiles. I said, "What are you
working on Sunday for?" He said, "I practically live here. I dying to hear
the band that you liked. You're more picky than I am." I smiled and said,
"They did one of our slow songs at a Karaoke club better than we do it and
they got our attention. We worked with them a little last night and you're
going to be very surprised. We need a good solid act to start the mini-tours
with and we thought it would be easier to build one, since we have tons of
extra material." He said, "Chet will love this one. Want some coffee?" We
followed him and poured ourselves some coffee.

The band started to come in and we introduced Harvey to them. He said, "Use
the main studio. It's empty today. The group we had scheduled cancelled for
the week due to an illness." I said, "Thanks."

The group tuned up and I said, "Lets start with the first tune you started to
learn last night. Debbie and I will play a verse and chorus again for you. We
sat at the piano and played a verse and chorus. Then we gave each person the
sheet music with the words and they played the first verse and chorus. We
talked about the beat and the feel to the song and within 15 minutes they had
the first verse and chorus sounding pretty good. Then we worked on the
singing and it was as thick as a brick. Harvey smiled at me and nodded.

Debbie worked with them on a solo part and bridge and then we put the whole
song together. When they played it, it was magic. It just clicked and they
all knew it. When the song ended we all clapped and Jerry said, "Real Good!"
Harvey said, "You two write unbelievable songs."

By 6 o'clock we had 8 songs down and took a dinner break. Harvey was still
there and I ordered him some too and he sat and talked with us about this
band. I said, "They need a name as the one they have now sucks. I was
thinking about using Brandy's name, Brandy James. It's catchy and sounds
country. The only thing that matters is selling CDs and that you can fill a
concert hall." They all agreed as Brandy was blushing. I said, "We wanted to
call ourselves for different band names and were talked out of it as it's
easier for the record company if the name matches the type of music."

My cell phone rang and I answered it. It was Margi and she said, "Tell Debbie
to turn her cell phone on. I found a place and I'm coming home tonight to
arrange for the move." I said, "That sounds good." She said, "So how does it
feel to be famous?" I was smiling and said, "We love it. We're at the studio
with Harvey working on a project. I'll let Debbie tell you about it." I
handed her the phone and said, "Your mom. She's coming back tonight to pack
up the house. Tell her about the band."

Debbie took the phone and walked into the lounge to talk to her as we
finished our pizza. Jim was busting Brandy's chops about the band being named
after her and she said, "At least I don't sleep through getting laid." I
thought Harvey was going to wet his pants.

Debbie came back in and we got started again. We went until about midnight
and had at least one pass of each tune done. I said, "How about we pick it up
again tomorrow at 10. We'll be doing a TV show in New York and will be back
here when it's over. Harvey, is that okay with you?" He said, "Sure."
Everyone left and we talked to Harvey for a minute afterward. Debbie said,
"My mom wants to hear them tomorrow night. You think they sound good enough
yet?" He said, "The way they learn, by dinner time the songs will be bullet
proof. This is amazing what you did here. What was their old material like?"
I said, "Horrible." He was smiling as we walked out.

The next day we went into New York dressed in our jeans, and sexy shirts and
went to the TV studio. It was a country music talk show and we had a blast.
The host started by asking us what was the worst song we ever wrote. Debbie
said, "Hand me a guitar and we'll give you an earful of horrible." We played
one verse and it was really bad. The audience was laughing and I said, "Then
we wrote this one ten minutes later." We played a verse and a chorus of
Framed and everyone was standing and clapping.

We had the audience and host laughing a bunch of times and we were just
acting like our normal lunatic selves. They asked about a tour and I said,
"It's coming up real soon. We'll have firm dates by this week." We talked for
almost 20 minutes and then we were introduced to three of the very well known
artists. They all shook our hands and told us how much they liked our music.
I blushed and thanked them. The host said, "So which tune is the next single
for the radio play?" Debbie said, "Pick one. We had no idea these three were
released until we heard them on the radio. We've heard six of songs off the
CD on different stations, so we're not really sure." The host held up today's
billboard country top ten and said, "Get a close up of this." The camera
moved in and we saw it on the monitor. We were number one. Debbie and I
screamed and hugged as the place went nuts laughing. It also showed that we
had 6 songs in the charts of which 3 were in the top ten. I said, "Very
cool." The host was laughing at us and said, "Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin
everyone. I love them!" We got an ovation and walked off the set as we waved
to the audience.

The producer said to us, "That was great! Plan on coming back in a few
months." I said, "Thanks. We had fun."

We got our car out of the parking garage and we both lit cigarettes. I took a
drag and blew out the smoke as Debbie said, "3 in the top 10?" We were both
giggling as I turned onto the George Washington Bridge heading back to
Jersey.  I took a drag of my cigarette as Debbie was blowing out smoke and I
said, "You know if we do this right with the other band, we could have Carrie
manage them and save a ton of money. Maybe work out some deal to split the
savings. Plus we get the writers share of all of their sales and radio play."
Debbie was nodding her head and said, "I like your idea about being filthy
rich." We were both giggling as I turned on the radio and heard one of our
tunes.

We stopped for a quick bite to eat and then went to the studio. Everyone was
there and Frank was showing the drummer how he did one beat in one of our
tunes. Jerry said, "Well?" I handed him today's billboard and said, "Page 4."
He opened it and they all we looking at it as we heard one loud scream after
the other. We were smiling and I said, "The show went great. I think it's on
tonight." Harvey looked at the magazine and said, "No shit. You made it big!"
Debbie said, "How do they sound?" He said, "Very good. They're now working on
some arrangement details to make a few of the tunes better. You'll be
surprised from where they were last night. They were here at 8 this morning."
We both smiled.

We listened to the changes and then at 3, Brandy said, "How about we do a
whole show for you and you critique it?" Debbie said, "Sure." We watched them
do the one hour show and the music was terrific and so was Brandy's stage
presence. All of us stood and clapped at the end and I said, "That was great.
Now we take a break and tonight you get to audition for a record label. We
didn't tell you that Debbie's mom is the president of the company. Just play
like you just did and you'll be fine." We watched their faces in total shock
and Harvey was laughing with us.

Debbie called her mom and said, "We'll be there in a few to give you a hand.
I'll see if the rest of the group can help too." She said, "We are going over
to my mom's place to give her a hand packing. Can any of you give us a hand?
If not, we'll meet back here around 7." Everyone went with us.

Margi was sitting in the kitchen with boxes up to her head and we all were
laughing. I introduced the other band and she said, "God, do I hate moving.
The movers are coming tomorrow and I have three rooms left." Debbie hugged
her and said, "Sit down and we'll do it." Margi was sitting and smiling as
she watched all of us pack the stuff in about an hour. I said, "You want
anything left out for tonight? You can stay at our place if you want all of
it packed." She said, "I'll stay with you. Pack all of it except the cloths
on the bed."

We finished the packing and she said to Brandy, "I'm dying to hear you play.
Lets go to the studio and then we'll get some dinner." Margi said, "I'll
follow you. I'm driving back to Nashville tomorrow to get my car there also."
I said, "Why not have then movers ship it and fly?" She said, "They can do
that?" Debbie said, "Lets call now and find out." Margi called the moving
company and then said, "Good thinking. The car stays here."

She took an overnight bag and went with us to the studio. The band tuned up
as Harvey sat with all of us and they put on the show just like before.
Brandy was excellent. Margi kept saying to us, "What a great idea you had."
They finished the last song and we all stood and clapped again. Margi said,
"That was excellent. Have a seat for a little bit. I need to make a few phone
calls and then we'll talk. Harvey, Kate, and Debbie, join me on the calls."

We went into Harvey's office and Margi called Bill and added in Chet on the
speakerphone. She said, "I just heard a band that Kate and Debbie have been
working with. They are doing material that these two wrote and they are
really good. I'll let Kate explain what the game plan is." I told them about
the mini-tours and why we chose them. Chet said, "Harvey, tell us the truth.
They good or suck?" Harvey was smiling and said, "They really are good. They
are all talented, learn fast, and the material is excellent. The bands
original material was horrible. Kate and Debbie built a first class act in
two days." Margi said, "I want to record them. Chet, you free this week?" He
said, "Margi for you I'm always free." Bill was calling him a male whore and
we all lost it.

Bill said, "I'll come up with Chet this evening and we'll work out the
details and record the group. Harvey, you open for a session?" He said, "You
lucked out. The group that had booked the place cancelled at the last minute.
The main studio is open for another 8 days." Bill said, "Tell the band to
meet us there at 9 in the morning. Kate and Debbie, this was a brilliant
idea."

We went back into the rehearsal room and Margi said, "Lets get reservations
someplace." I said, "How about we have it catered at our place?" She said,
"Sure." I called a catering company we use to use a lot and got the menu. I
said, "How about some of each. Hot trays. Plan on feeding 20 to 25." "Okay,
that's great. Let me give you the address."

We all went to out house and Debbie checked the voice message as it was
flashing on the phone. She said to me, "Carrie. Lets invite her over." Debbie
called her and said, "We have some good news. Come on over for dinner. We
have a whole army here."

We all sat in the den and Jerry handed out cold beer to everyone. Margi said,
"I want to sign your group." They all went wild and we were laughing. Margi
said, "And I want you to tour with Kate and Debbie as part of the deal. Does
that sound okay?" They were all screaming again and Margi lost it now too
laughing with us.

She explained about the recording starting tomorrow and that Chet will be
producing them. Jim said, "Chet Dumont?" Margi said, "The best." Carrie rang
the doorbell and I went to get it and filled her in on everything in the
hallway. She was smiling from ear to ear and then gave us a tour schedule of
confirmed dates and big places. I said, "Come on in and met the band."

Margi was just finishing up and I introduced Carrie to everyone. Margi said,
"I have heard a lot about you." I said, "As part of the deal to tour with us,
Carrie will be your manager. This saves all of us money, as she'll book you
with us almost everywhere. Carrie has some good news about our tour schedule
and she can tell you about it."

She explained the mini-tours and how it works and then listed the dates and
places as everyone was smiling. She said, "We'll start in the Nashville area
and work south for tour number one. We also have four TV appearances mixed in
for all of you. Kate, you and Debbie will love this one. You two will be a
judge on Nashville Star for one night after both bands play one song on
national TV."

Margi said, "God Damn was that fast. Carrie we are going to be good friends."
Carrie was smiling and said, "We need to go over the expenses, logistical
things, and advertising tomorrow, but it should be all in place. What's the
name of the other act?" They all said in unison, "Brandy James." Brandy stood
up and said, "That's me!" Jim said, "Sit the fuck down." They were all
busting Brandy's chops again and it was funny, as she wouldn't let Jim forget
last night. Margi was cracking up.

The caterer showed up and Margi insisted on paying for it. We all had diner
and I said to Carrie, "How'd you make out on the housing front?" She said,
"I'm suppose to look at a house tomorrow that someone is moving out of that
was renting. Here is the address." I said, "Margi, you still have your keys
to the house?" She said, "Yeah, why?" I said, "Carrie is looking at it."
Carrie said, "You rented it?" Margi said, "I'm moving tomorrow to Nashville.
It was temporary and a nice place to live. You buying or renting?" Carrie
said, "I'm not sure yet. I wanted to see the place before I decided." Margi
said, "Take a ride with me, I'll show you around. Kate can I use your car?" I
said, "The keys are on the counter in the kitchen for all of them."

They left to see the house and we talked more about how the mini-tours would
work. I said, "Carrie needs to lease the busses, the trucks for equipment,
hire the roadies, the techs, the concert support staff at each venue, do the
advertising, arrange for the ticket sales, the merchandising, and a few other
things. There is still a lot that has to happen in four and half weeks. She's
done it before though and has a great reputation."

Everyone wanted us to finish our song about beer so we went into the music
room and we really did finish it in about a half hour. Margi and Carrie came
back and we played it for them and they both loved it. Margi said, "Start a
folder of tunes for your next CD. That one's definitely in it. That's why God
invented Beer. I love it."

Everyone left for the night and we sat in the kitchen with Margi and Carrie
and talked about the costs of the tour and what still had to be done. She had
a detailed project plan with everything. I said, "I'll bank role it and take
it off the top in expenses. Hire staff to do the legwork if you need too. We
have a separate checking account already set up for paying the band and
stuff. We'll give you signature authority on it and tomorrow move over
another 500 thousand into it. That should cover anything that happens."

Margi said, "We may be able to help with some of this also. This is the first
label that I've been to where they don't do some of these things. I seems
that country music labels are just cheap. It makes no sense as this money all
comes back in triple from CD sales. If Kate didn't have this money to front
the tour, they would end up selling less records and making a lot less
money."

I lit a cigarette and so did Debbie as we talked about the plans for
releasing our singles and when Margi thought we should do the next CD. I took
a drag and said, "Did you see today's issue of Billboard?" Neither of them
saw it so Debbie went into the den and brought it into the kitchen. She
opened it to page 4 and Margi almost flipped. She said, "This is wonderful.
Three in the top ten! I can hear the cash registers ringing now." We were all
smiling.

Margi was looking through the magazine and said, "Did you read the article on
the next page. It's about you." She read it out loud to us and we couldn't
believe it. It called us the new country sensations setting a new bar for
performance and redefining what modern country music should sound like. Margi
said, "Forget what I said about being in the studio in nine months. Make it
six. That CD will be platinum and then you can release another one and do it
all over again while it's still hot. We also got a call today from the movie
company. The release date got moved up by two weeks so that tune will get a
ton of airplay also.

I said, "You didn't tell us if you liked the house." Carrie said, "I liked it
and I'm going to rent it. The asking price to buy it is just way too much,
but it's good temporary place for six months or so. Then I'll spend some time
and look at places to buy again in the area." Margi said, "That's exactly
what I said when I found it. I didn't show you the pictures of the place I
bought. Check these out."

Margi took out the photos from her pocket book and we all looked through
them. I said, "This is gorgeous and bigger than this place." Margi said, "And
one sixth the cost. You can live like royalty there." I said, "Maybe in six
months we'll join you in Nashville. It makes sense to live there anyway."
Margi was laughing and said to Carrie, "Told you."

We cleaned up a little and then Debbie and I went to bed. Margi and Carrie
stayed up to talk. Debbie and I had great sex and then we talked about how
much we got turned on yesterday. I said, "Lets get some sex toys." She was
laughing about it and nodded her head.

The next week was fun and we learned so much. Chet let us in on his secrets
of getting the CDs to sound the way they do and we helped him with the mix
for the band's recording. Brandy and her band were walking on air when they
heard the final version.

We set up our equipment in a rehearsal studio and rented it for six months so
we had a place to practice twice a week when we weren't on tour. We also
spotted Brandy the money to do the same thing.

Carrie was all moved in and made incredible progress. We did a full financial
model using spreadsheets and she said, "The first four gigs pay for all of
the big cash outlays and out of pocket expenses. After that we run in the
black and you just have the normal operating costs. The fucking busses were a
fortune. Next time we fly or rent limos."  We all were laughing about it. We
also knew that Carrie slept with Margi when they stayed at our place. We over
heard them on the phone and they were both so into each other. Debbie was
cracking up over it. Carrie spent two days in Nashville cleaning up the loose
ends for our first tour and Margi called us and said, "You're going to find
out about this anyway. Carrie and I are sleeping together." Debbie said, "We
think it's great."

We did two more TV shows where we played live. The last one was with Brandy
also the day their first song was released along with the CD. We now had four
songs in the top ten and they had one. Margi was being quoted in the music
papers and written up as an expert at turning record companies around. We all
were laughing about it as she said; "These record labels have had 4 songs in
the charts in the last 3 years. That's it."

Debbie and I also did some more writing and we had 14 new tunes that everyone
liked. I said, "In four months we'll have a solid new CD and also another one
for Brandy."

Debbie and I got our collection of sex toys and they are now regulars in bed
with us. We have a favorite double ended dildo that we fuck ourselves into
total paradise with. Debbie named him Gizmo. We also have one that has a big
cock for your pussy and a small one for your ass, and are connected together.
It looks like a `Y' and Debbie named that one Spock after the character in
Star Trek that makes his hands into a `Y' sign for peace. I told her in bed
she was nuts. She told me to shut up and keep licking her pussy.


CHAPTER 8 - THE FIRST TOUR


We all flew to Nashville to start the first mini-tour. We saw the busses and
met the staff that were going to be the roadies and equipment techs. Carrie
gave us the details of everything in a notebook just in case something goes
wrong. She said, "Every show on the tour is sold out already, even with the
ridiculous prices we are charging for tickets. You okay with me adding a
second show every Saturday night?" We all agreed to do it.

Our first main gig was at the Grand Ole Opry for two nights and we took a
picture of the Marquee sign that had our names on it along with Brandy James.
Brandy was walking on air. Jim said, "Sit down and shut the fuck up." We all
were laughing as Brandy started to bust his chops again about that night in
our bedroom.

We were all excited about the first gig and had to do a sound check in the
afternoon. The engineer that Carrie hired was top notch. He worked to get our
live sound almost exact to the CD for both bands. We met the emcee and he was
joking around with us he read us the introduction scripts. I said, "You left
out the part where we can fly over tall buildings and also stop bullets with
our teeth." He said, "The fans will love this shit."

We went to dinner in the hotel and were mobbed for autographs. We loved it.
Brandy was walking on air again and Jim was laughing about it. We ordered
dinner and Carrie and Margi saw us and walked over. I said, "Join us." Margi
put her hands on my and Debbie shoulders and said, "We'll see you at the
show. We have some catching up to do for a while." Debbie was smiling at me
when they walked away holding hands.

After dinner we went to the backstage area and were mobbed again by fans
waiting to get into the show. I even signed some guy's bare chest as a
photographer took our pictures. We were having a blast jerking around as we
went to the dressing rooms. The emcee came back stage as I lit a cigarette
and he said, "Brandy, you go on in 15 minutes. The place is filling up fast."
He went back to the stage area and I said to Brandy, "Break a leg." She said,
"You too. This is so cool."

Debbie was sitting with me as she lit a cigarette too. I said, "We can watch
them play for a while from the side of the stage." I took a deep drag and
blew out the smoke as Debbie held my hand and said, "I can't believe what we
have accomplished in such a short time." She gave me a big wet open mouth
kiss and everyone was clapping for us. Jerry said, "Stop it! I'm getting
hard." We were cracking up as we got up and walked to the stage area.

Brandy and her group went on stage and got ready as the techs were finishing
up and retuned everything. The emcee poked his head in and said, "One minute.
Get ready to play." The techs walked off stage and wished them luck and we
moved back so the audience couldn't see us.

We all heard the announcements start and the emcee did the intro for Brandy
James. We heard the audience cheering and it was loud as the curtain raised.
Tom, the drummer, clicked it off and they played the opening number. They
were really good and the audience loved it. Brandy was just like us with the
audience and she winked at us a few times.

We watched the whole show from the side of the stage and we loved it. After
the last song the audience was all standing and cheering and we were clapping
too. Brandy and Melissa both smiled at us and then waved to the audience as
the bowed and walked to the front and touched peoples hands that were
reaching up. They came backstage and we hugged all of them. I said, "That was
great!" We heard the emcee say, "We have a 10 minute intermission and then
it's Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin." The audience was screaming when they
mentioned our names and we couldn't believe it.

We went back to the sitting area again and lit cigarettes. Carrie and Margi
came back and hugged Brandy and the others. Margi said, "That was a fantastic
show." Brandy was now really walking on air and Jim said, "Anyone got a pin
to pop her swelled head?" We were laughing as she started on him again about
our bedroom. I said, "You are never going to live that down." He said, "Don't
remind me."

We finished our cigarettes and then we went to the stage. Margi and Carrie
wished us luck and the others watched from the side like we did. The techs
gave everyone their gear and we got the one minute notice.

We listened to the emcee talk about us and it was almost funny. We couldn't
laugh because Debbie and I had on cordless mic headsets. We heard him yell,
"Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin!" The curtain rose and Frank clicked us off
and we started the first tune as the audience was still cheering. We went
right into one of our top ten tunes and the place was all standing as Debbie
and I put on the show. We loved it and both of us winked at Margi, Bill,
Chet, and Carrie in the front row.

The show went over great and we really sounded good. Debbie and I did a few
routines we worked on and they were funny. She pinched my ass at they end of
one song and I chased her on the stage and pinched hers also. The place was
roaring. Debbie did her guitar solo work standing on the piano, and then
walking in the audience with a cordless adapter in another song. We really
goofed off on stage and the more we joked around the more people liked it.


We did our slow song very quite to start with only a spot light on Debbie and
me. This song had such an impact. By the end of the song there wasn't a dry
eye in the house. Even Brandy and the band were crying back stage. When we
ended it the entire audience stood and clapped for over 5 minutes as Debbie
and I hugged and had tears in our eyes.

Then we brought it back upbeat again and did one of our boogies. We did an
audience sing along and we were grinning as everyone was singing along with
the chorus. We pointed extra mics on stage at the audience and just listened.
Frank went right into the beat of the next song after this one and Debbie was
waving to a little girl about 6 years old in the front row who was dancing
all night to our music. I walked over and turned off my mic and said, "Can
she come on stage with us to dance?" The mother handed her to me and I said,
"Welcome to the big time. Dance with us. What's your name?" She yelled,
"Tracey." The audience was cheering, and the band was all watching as Frank
kept playing.

I said into the mic, "Tracey is going to be joining us in this number.
1,2,3,4" Debbie and I started singing as the music started and Tracey was
dancing up and storm with us. She was really on time and good and the crowd
was cheering. We danced in time with her and the crowd was clapping. We saw
Margi and Carrie laughing along with Chet and Bill.

We finished the song and I said, "This is the next superstar in about 12
years." Everyone was clapping and cheering as we handed her back to her
mother. I said, "I couldn't resist. She has doing that the whole show since
Brandy was playing. We're going to do a tune now that Debbie and I wrote
recently. It's not on our current CD, but it will be on the next one. It's
called, "Why God invented Beer." Everyone was laughing and Debbie went into
this long explanation of why beer is good for you. I said, "Sing along in the
chorus if you want."

This song kicked ass and everyone was singing the chorus by the second time
through. The lyrics were a riot too. Debbie adlibbed a few and when she sang
a line "Everyone knows beer isn't just for breakfast anymore", Jerry was
laughing so hard he almost missed a chord change. We finished the tune and
got another standing ovation with loud cheering this time.

We did all of our top hits and then I said, "We have time for one more song
tonight. This one is about Debbie and me being total screw ups." Everyone was
laughing and Debbie said, "It's true. We can't even boil water without
burning down the house. We are far from perfect, which is the name of the
tune."

Debbie started this one with just singing and then I came in with harmony.
Frank does a drum roll and then we do a rock boogie. It's a perfect dance
song and everyone was standing and people were in the isles. We had a blast
playing it and didn't want it to end. When we got to the ending Jerry raised
his guitar up and then down which was our cue it's over.

The audience was standing and cheering loud and clapping as we thanked them.
We took off our headsets and walked to the front of the stage and touched
hands like Brandy did and we all waved. We walked off the stage as they were
still screaming for us and calling out our names. Brandy hugged us and said,
"That was unreal." The audience was still standing and screaming our names
and it was getting louder. Margi came back stage and said, "Do an encore.
They love you."

We walked back on stage and waved as the guys went back to their instruments.
I put the headset on and said, "You want to hear one more?" The screams were
deafening and I yelled out a song name and Frank clicked it off. Debbie and I
walked through the audience as we sang this one and everyone was touching us
and shaking our hands. I got my ass pinched 5 times. We made our way back to
the stage for the last verse and then the ending. I said, "We really loved
playing here and thank you all so much. Goodnight everyone." Debbie and I
stood at the front of the stage and waved for a few minutes as people were
throwing us roses on the stage. She picked one up and put it in my hair and
we smiled and waved as we walked off.

Margi, Carrie, Chet, and Bill were waiting for us and they all said to us,
"Best show ever." Jerry was laughing and said, "What was with the beer song?"
We were cracking up as Debbie said, "I adlibbed some new lyrics. They were
funny, weren't they?" Jerry said, "Cute. I was laughing so much I almost made
a mistake." Margi said, "I want that song recorded as soon as you get back.
It's definitely a hit single." We lit cigarettes and went to sit down, as
they couldn't stop talking about how good our show was. I said, "We just had
fun. The more we goof around, the more people like it. We're just being
ourselves on stage."

Brandy hugged us again and said, "Thank you of everything. This is my dream
come true." Debbie said, "It's our dream come true also. Lets enjoy it
together for a long time." Margi said, "You can say that again." Carrie said,
"After you relax for a few minutes, there are reporters outside and tons of
fans that would love to see you. Both of you really did put on one hell of a
show."

I took a drag of my cigarette and Debbie said, "Shall we go sign naked chests
again?" I said, "Maybe we'll get to sign an ass this time too. Which ass
cheek should I sign first?" Margie was laughing at us and said, "You have to
love this. They really are themselves on stage." We finished our cigarettes
and all of us went out the stage door and were mobbed. We were interviewed
and had pictures taken. The guys loved it as the fans were swarming them too.
Debbie and I got to sign the top of a woman's breasts and everyone was
cracking up. Debbie said, "You sure you don't want something else signed too?
We're getting pretty good at body parts." I laughed my ass off and so did the
woman. I thought Jerry was going to piss in his pants.

We made our way to the lobby of the hotel and we were mobbed again. We really
did love it. People were telling us how much they loved our music and the
show. We finally got to the elevator and Debbie gave me and big wet kiss as
soon as the door closed. We got off at our floor and I said, "We'll see you
tomorrow."

Debbie and I went into our room and she said, "Honey, tonight we are going to
wear Gizmo out." I kissed her and we lay on the bed undressing each other.
Debbie had our toys out from when we checked in and she lubed up Gizmo and
put one end into her pussy. Then I put the other end in me. We wiggled it
into us and then I pushed hard as we lay on our sides in an almost scissor
position and our pussies touched. Fireworks went off in both of us as we
pulled ourselves together, kissed, and made our pussies touch again as we
fucked. I was on fire and so was Debbie. We rubbed our clits as we were
fucking on Gizmo. I must have orgasmed 20 times in the next hour. It was like
I had a faucet stuck in the on position.

Debbie was kissing me non-stop and then we took turns sucking each other's
nipples. I wanted to be with her like this forever. I must have said, "I love
you" 50 times. Debbie was even worse than me. We put Gizmo to bed and then
Debbie got on top of me in a 69 position. We ate each other until we couldn't
move.

Debbie got off of me and we lay together kissing and hugging each other. I
said, "I am so proud of you." She kissed me again and then said, "Kate, we
are so much alike it's amazing. I love you baby, more than anything." We
kissed and sucked each other's tongue and then we sat up and had a cigarette.
I took a deep drag and said, "That was so much fun on stage. I love it so
much." Debbie was grinning and said, "Like I said, we are so much alike it's
amazing. This had to be God's design to bring us together. The coincidences
are just too much." We kissed again and she put her head on my shoulder. I
said, "Brandy was really good too. This couldn't have worked out better."
Debbie took a drag of her cigarette and said, "I love the way Brandy busts
Jim's balls about that night in our room. They are so funny together." I was
nodding and said, "I bet she's busting his balls right now." Debbie smiled
and said, "Yup." We finished our cigarettes, cuddled, and fell asleep with
our faces touching.

Debbie woke me up twice during the night to make love and I was so into it.
The second time she did it like an emcee announcing us and I laughed for 5
minutes before we so could start. She was howling also.

 . . . . . . . . . . .


The tour was a blast. We played the Opry again and then did two more gigs at
big venues in Nashville.  Jerry was missing Barb and he called her every day
and she flew to meet us at our next stop in Atlanta with Ginny. Frank was
happy about that too.  We packed every place we played including sports areas
that sat over 32,000.

Carrie called us after the first week and asked if we minded extending this
tour by a week and we all agreed. She said, "How does a 40,000 seat gig
sound?" We played a baseball stadium in Florida and this was unbelievable.
They packed in 54,000 people with the cheapest ticket being 150 dollars.


CHAPTER 9 - TOUR 2


When the last show was over in this mini-tour we all few home for a week and
a half off. Everyone came to our house the next day to meet with Carrie as
she had an accountant do the books and he presented them to us. Everyone was
very happy and he issued checks to everyone. Debbie and I increased Carrie's
percentage to ten, and so did Brandy. Carrie was walking on air now too. She
said, "The next gigs are easier travel wise and should be even more money. We
have New York City, the Meadowlands in Jersey, Arts Center in Jersey, Boston,
Hartford, Providence, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and a few others that are
still close. Every event is already sold out and that's with two shows in one
day three times. We all stood and gave her an ovation, clapping and cheering.

I said, "What area is after this tour?" She said, "Mid-west, South, and then
the West coast." I said, "I was thinking about us relocating to Nashville.
Anyone have any thoughts on it?" Everyone wanted to do it and Carrie was
smiling. I said, "Lets plan on doing it after the next tour. I'm going to
list this house on the market." Debbie said, "Are you sure you want to sell
this place?" I said, "Yeah. I'm sure. This was my parents dream. It's not
mine or yours. Lets buy what we really want together." Debbie gave me a big
kiss and I melted as everyone was clapping for us.

We sent out for pizza for everyone and we started to drink beer. Margi showed
up and I said, "You're a long way from home." She was laughing and said, "I'm
staying a few days with Carrie." I told her we're moving to Nashville after
the New York tour and she hugged us both. Then she said, "Tomorrow, Harvey is
expecting you to do that one tune." I said, "We know and we're ready. We also
have 14 other tunes ready for recording. We may do a few of them now and just
hold them, until we finish the rest. We finished five for Brandy also and
these are really good. We wrote them for her vocal range which is wider than
ours."  Margi was smiling and said, "I love hearing this stuff. How did
everyone hold out on tour?" Everyone loved it and they were telling her about
it.

The pizza dude showed up and Debbie went to get the door and paid him.
Everyone helped with it and Margi said, "Can I see you two for one minute?"
We went into the study and she closed the door and said, "Our accountants ran
the numbers and both of you are going to get one huge chunk of change in
about two weeks. The CD sales are platinum already. So are the singles. Plus
you get the writing royalties from your CD and Brandy's, which is almost
platinum too. These are the numbers." She showed us a sheet and we just
smiled and she said, "The BMI royalties for air play are in 6 month cycles
and they will be big too. I didn't want the others to know about this." We
hugged her and I said, "Thank you." She said, "Don't thank me. It's all your
work." I said, "I'm thanking you for having a daughter that I am madly in
love with and who is as nutty as I am." Debbie gave me a kiss and Margi said,
"You're quite welcome." We went back into the dining room to have some pizza.

We were all joking around and having one beer after the other. I said, "We
can't get trashed. We have to record tomorrow." Margi was laughing and said,
"Fuck it. I'll have Harvey move it a day. Enjoy your time off." She left with
Carrie and we all got trashed. We wrote a song while everyone was laughing at
us drinking and then we played it half in the bag. Jerry said, "That's
fucking good. Two more beers and it will sound outstanding." Barb was all
over him and we were laughing.

We had a sing along to songs we all hated and it was a riot. Even the beer
didn't help. At 2 in the morning we were worse than the last time we did
this. Jim was almost comatose. Brandy was laughing and said, "Lets do it to
him again." We were cracking up as we got him up the stairs and into our
bedroom. We all got naked and then undressed Jim and he moved a little bit. I
said, "He's not dead anyway." Brandy was howling and we sucked Jim hard and
then took turns riding him just like last time. Debbie and Brandy made me
have a screaming orgasm as I rode him and Jim didn't even budge.

We sucked him off and this time Debbie got the mouthful. I was so hot when
she kissed me with the goop in her mouth. I sucked it out and then spit some
into Brandy's mouth as we kissed. Debbie and I kissed and swallowed it and
then we each kissed Brandy again. I said, "The hell with getting laid. Lets
suck him off a few more times." Brandy was cracking up and we sucked him off
two more times. I got a mouthful and we played with it for over 10 minutes. I
spit it on Debbie's breast and Brandy licked it up. I orgasmed watching her
do it. Jim woke up for about 3 seconds and then was out cold again. We were
laughing so hard we had to run into the bathroom and pee.

We showed Brandy our toys and she watched us fuck with Gizmo. Then we each
did it with her as she went wild on us. Debbie and I did it again and we gave
her Spock to play with. We watched her fuck her pussy and ass with it and it
was such a turn on. We feel asleep cuddling at about 6 in the morning.

Jim woke the three of us at noon and said, "You didn't, did you?" We were all
hysterically laughing and I said, "Feel like doing it when you're not drunk?"
We kissed each other and he was rock hard. We lay him on his back and we each
rode him for about 10 minutes as we got each other off. Then we finished it
off by sucking him off. I got the mouthful and I kissed Jim and Brandy went
wild. She sucked it out of his mouth and then the two of them kissed and
swallowed it. Debbie and I lay cuddling on the bed as Brandy said, "My God
was that hot."

We lit cigarettes and I said, "Jim, we promise we won't tell anyone about
that ending, but I know you liked it." He was laughing and nodded his head.
Brandy was all over him again and I said, "Lets get up."

Debbie and I went into the bathroom and we needed to shave. I sat on the
counter first and she shaved my pussy and legs and then I did hers. I said,
"How come when we do each other we never get cut? When we do ourselves we
look like a battlefield." We took a shower, dressed, and then went
downstairs.

Jerry had already gone out for breakfast for everyone and he said, "It's
still hot. We just ate." We poured some coffee and took one of the breakfasts
and sat to eat. Brandy and Jim came downstairs and everyone was clapping for
them. They were all yelling, "Was he awake last night?" Brandy smiled and
said, "For part of it. He got his fantasy wish." Jerry was laughing as Barb
was kissing his cheeks and said, "You got yours too honey."

I said, "I better call Harvey and find out when we go in tomorrow." I picked
up the phone and made the call. He said, "You all still alive? Margi said you
were unwinding with two kegs of beer." I said, "Were fine. What time can we
start tomorrow? We want to record a few tunes but only one will be released
now." He said, "We'll be here at 8, so any time after that." I said, "We'll
see you at 9."

I called information and got a few realtor numbers and Debbie was smiling at
me. I finished my breakfast and then made the first call as I lit a
cigarette. I said, "I am interested in selling my home in Saddle River. Would
your office be the closest one to list it?" I wrote down and new number and
called them. I called four places and had them all coming over to see the
house and give us a contract.

Brandy said, "You aren't wasting any time." I said, "It could take months to
sell this place. It's expensive." We were all having coffee and the first
realtor showed up already. Debbie said, "They must be desperate." I was
smiling as I answered the door. I said, "Come on in and ignore the mess from
the party last night." A man and a woman walked in and the man said, "Your
Kate Rodgers. I love your songs." I said, "This is the rest of the crew. I
introduced everyone and said, "We just got back from a tour and we're moving
to Nashville. Let me show you around." Debbie went with me and we showed them
the grounds and then the basement, main floor, upstairs, and garages. The man
said, "This place is really large. What are you looking for it?" I said, "It
was appraised for 6.5 million about 12 months ago. Somewhere over that. How's
the market?" The woman said, "For homes like this the market is actually
really good. I would start this out at about 9 million. We'll do a market
survey and let you know what we think is a reasonable place to start. How
quick do you want to sell it?" I said, "Today. We do a 4 week New York area
tour starting in 10 days and then I want to be out of here."

I said, "I called a few other firms too, so make me your best offer on
terms." The man said, "We will." They gave me their cards and the woman said,
"We'll call in a day or two." We had a vote on if I should trust them and it
was a unanimous no.

We had one realtor after the other come through and the last one I really
liked. She was honest and said, "We could list this for 9 or 10 million and
it will sit for weeks or months before anyone even looks at it. If you want
to sell this now, list it at 7. You may even have people bidding on it. There
are very few people that can afford a place like this. We get about two
people a week looking in this price range. We get hundreds looking in the
under 2 million range and we are the largest in the area." She gave us a
sample contract and of her brochures. She said, "I'll call you back tonight
with more accurate figures of houses that have sold in this area."  We all
voted and she got a unanimous yes.

I said, "I want to make a quick stop at the lawyer's office. We have an CDs
left?" Debbie got one out and we both signed it. I said, "Lets ask him about
the contract. You all can stay if you want. We'll be back in about a half
hour." We drove to the lawyer in town and he
smiled and said, "You two did great." We gave him a copy of our CD and he
said, "Thanks. What can I do for you?" I said, "Two questions. I want to sell
the house. Is here anything special I have to do because it was my parents
and Debbie still being my guardian for another few weeks?" He said, "If you
want, you can give me power of attorney over the house and I can take care of
it for you. I won't do anything without your approval." I said, "Lets do
that. Also I have a realtor's contract to list the place and I have no clue
what I'm reading." He said, "I'll go through it. They'll reduce their
commission on houses this high." I said, "We're getting a market survey
tonight and I'll let you know what they think it should list for." He said,
"My guess is 7 million to start." I said, "That's what she said also."

We filled out a power of attorney for him and I signed it and so did Debbie.
He said, "Just let me know and I'll call you about the contract. You have the
realtor's name?" I told him and he said, "I know her. She's very good and
very honest. I'll give her buzz. How long are you staying?" I said, "We do a
New York tour and then we're moving to Nashville." He smiled and said,
"That's where you belong."

We went back to the house and everyone was still there. I said, "All done.
Our lawyer will take care of all of it." We jerked around all afternoon and
had a blast. Then we got on the internet and looked at places in Nashville.
Everyone was looking at different things and it was kind of fun. Ginny said,
"My mom will kill me when I tell her I'm going with you." Barb said, "I
already told mine and she thinks I'm the anti-Christ." We were all laughing.

I said, "I forgot. The TV show we all did in Tampa is on tonight." We all
went into the den and I turned on the TV and we checked the cable guide. I
said, "It starts in a half hour. Anyone feel like sub sandwiches? They
deliver." We wrote down what everyone wanted and Debbie ordered it with some
soda. Debbie lit a cigarette and sat next to me and I lit one also. She said,
"We haven't seen ourselves on TV yet." I said, "We probably look fat and
ugly." Everyone was laughing and Jerry said, "Not!"

I put on the station and they had some commentators dressed like cowboys
talking about modern country music. I said, "They are typical New Yorkers.
What a piss." Brandy said, "Where are you originally from? I know your accent
isn't New Jersey." I said, "I moved here when I was 14 from Atlanta Georgia
and Debbie is actually from Nashville. She moved here when she was 14 too."
We took a pole around the room and no one was from New Jersey or the North
East originally. Brandy grew up in Memphis with Jim.

Our subs were delivered and we ate in the den as we watched ourselves on TV.
Were really were in shock at how good our show was. We had no idea. Debbie
said, "I remember us playing this show but it doesn't seem like us on stage.
We look like stars." I said, "That's because we are. I can't get over at how
good the harmony sounds for all of us. It's almost the same as on the CDs.
Brandy looked so sexy on that first song." She was blushing and I said, "You
were."

We watched the whole show and the fans were going crazy. We had no idea it
was this nuts in the audience. Everyone really felt good about our acts after
seeing that.

The phone rang and it was the realtor and I said, "Hi Darla." She told me
about the market value and I said, "Did our lawyer call you?" She said, "Yes
he did and I understand he will be handling all of it. We went over the
contact too. If you agree with changes we can list it tomorrow at 7.2." I
said, "Let me call him now and I'll get call you back after I get in touch
with him." I called his office and he was still there. I said, "How are the
changes for the listing contract?" He said, "It's good. They settled for 2
and a half percent, which is low. If you agree, I'll sign it and we can get
it listed." I said, "Do it." He said, "Okay. I'll call Darla back now. She
will want to put a lock box on the front door with a key inside. They won't
not use it unless you aren't home."

I hung up and said, "It's listed at 7.2." Everyone was leaving and I said,
"We'll see you at the studio at 9."

Debbie and I went to bed and had a totally perverted night. I fucked her ass
with a vibrator and her pussy at the same time and then I licked her butt
hole. She went wild on me and then she did it to me also. I loved how it felt
when she pulled the dildo our of my ass and then pushed it all of the way
back in. I orgasmed three times. Afterward, we ate each other until our
mouths were sore.  We passed out cuddling and the alarm woke us up in the
morning.

We were so nuts in the morning. We made love in the shower and couldn't stop
touching each other. We dressed and then went out for breakfast at the
dinner. We had twelve people ask us for our autographs before we had our
coffee. We still liked it.

The next 10 days were amazing. We sold the house. Two people were bidding and
I accepted a offer at 8.4 million. The lawyer closes on the house the day
after we finish the New York tour. We already made arrangements for a moving
company to move all of our stuff out and put it in storage in Nashville and
also transport the Benz and Bentley. I sold the Ferrari for 1.9 million and
we ordered a new Ferrari Spyder that we pick up in Nashville when we get
there. Debbie and I loved it in yellow, so that's what we bought.

We recorded all 14 tunes, plus 3 more we wrote. We also had Brandy record the
5 we had finished for her. Margi and Carrie were definitely getting serious
with each other and we loved it. Carrie was moving in with Margi in Nashville
with her daughter and also buying a place for her mother there also.

We flew to Nashville for the day and looked at homes. Debbie and I could not
believe at how cheap it was compared to New Jersey. We put a bid in on a
place we feel in love with. It was 3.5 million and they accepted our bid of
3.2. It has a 16 car garage, a recording studio, and is on 186 acres. The
house is like a castle. The current owner asked us for our autographs and we
were smiling as we signed his book of famous people's autographs. Our names
were on the same page as George Bush and Dick Cheney.

We played the first concert in New York at the Roxy on a Wednesday and
Thursday which are the big nights there. The place was mobbed and the lines
to get in were wrapped around three city blocks. The crowd was so routy we
loved it. They were screaming for our beer song, which was released two days
earlier and was on top of the country charts already. It was one of the best
concerts so far. Brandy and us both did an encore.  We saved the beer song
for the encore.

We played Madison Square Garden, and then the meadowlands. We hated the crowd
at the Meadowlands. We played good, but the people were duds and dead. After
the show we all said, "Good bye New Jersey!"

On our three days off, we flew to Nashville and closed on the new house. We
had an attorney there that knew the whole story and we put the house in both
Debbie's and my name. He had power of attorney and did the whole thing. We
stayed with my mom in her place and little Lisa was a piss. She came up to me
and said, "I like musicians now that I know what they are. You tricked me." I
said, "No I didn't. You should have asked me." She sat on my lap for a while
and said, "My mom likes you two a real lot. But not as much as she likes
Margi." We were laughing.

We went to our new place with Carrie and Margi and they were giving us
decorating ideas. We hired someone to do it all before we flew back.

The tour was fun and we loved it, except for that one concert at the
Meadowlands. Our show at the Arts Center was one of the best. The
Philadelphia Spectrum concert surprised me beyond belief. It was my birthday
and Debbie and I celebrated, and I thought everyone else forgot. Just before
the our last song Brandy's band came on stage with us they all sang happy
birthday to me.  The crowd loved it as I blushed. Then they stayed on stage
and sang along on our last tune. We had a blast.

The forth week we did two shows in Boston and then two in Hartford. We had a
lot of dead time and Debbie and I wrote the next 11 tunes for Brandy. We
played them for everyone and both bands voted on each tune. They all got 10s.
Jerry wanted to give one of the tunes an 11. It was about being discovered as
a musician.

After the concert, we all made sure everyone knew where our new place was in
Nashville and I said, "We'll see you in two days." From Hartford we flew
directly to Nashville as we decided to hire the movers to do everything while
we were gone. Margi and Carrie let the movers into the new house and they
unloaded everything and set it in place. Our cars were trucked down also.
>From the airport we had limo take us to the house and unload our luggage and
then drop us off at the Ferrari dealer. We picked up the yellow spyder and we
were both in love. I drove it halfway home and then pulled over and let
Debbie drove it the rest of the way. We pulled it into the huge garage. The
three cars looked lost in the big space.


CHAPTER 10 - LIVING IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC CAPITOL


The movers had everything in the house and Carrie and Margi came over after
we got home with the Ferrari. I said, "You didn't have do all of this." Margi
said, "We both did it because we need you two to keep writing material and
not worry about this stupid stuff. I set up Brandy for the main studio in our
facility the day after tomorrow. The gear is brand new state of the art 100
percent digital. Chet remixed your tunes here and you won't believe how they
sound." Carrie said, "I have some checks again. These are more than two and a
half times the previous ones." We smiled and Debbie said, "More is definitely
good." I said, "Are we withholding taxes on any of these?" She said,
"Absolutely." I said, "We talked to a tax accountant about all of the money
we will owe, and I wanted you to meet with him with us in two days. He had
some ideas of how we could help everyone keep more of their money." Margi
said, "I'd like to sit in on that one too." Debbie hugged her mom and said,
"Sorry mom, it's only for musicians." We were laughing and I said, "You can
come. When he asks you what instrument, just tell him you play the radio."
Margi was howling and so was Carrie. Debbie said, "Kate, you're worse than I
am." Her mom said, "I have to remember that line. That's good."

We showed them our new Ferrari toy and we let them take it out for a spin.
Carrie drove it back with a huge smile and said, "I love this thing." I said,
"How about we get a tour of the area and the city. Debbie knows a little
about it from when she was little, but that's it." We took the Bentley and
Margi told us where to turn and showed us around. We went into the city and
saw the rows of clubs. Margi said, "You walk into any of these, and you will
be talking to aspiring musicians for hours." I said, "Any good ones?" Carrie
said, "Some are very good, but have horrible material because they can't
write. You and Debbie made Brandy James what they are. Without your song
writing they're a zero. There are hundreds of bands like them around here."

We did a three hour tour of everything and then went to the office and saw
the studio. We said hello to people with Margi and they all wanted our
autograph. I saw Margi's admin and I said, "You were at our show in
Philadelphia, front row right side of the stage." She said, "You saw me? I'm
impressed." I said, "We try to make eye contact with as many people in the
audience that we can." Chet was there and he said, "Listen to this." He
walked us into a listening room and played our new tunes. I said, "Wow is
that clean." He said, "The new gear is amazing. It also shows mistakes
though. Your stuff sounds wonderful. Listen to this one." He played it and we
heard about 10 wrong notes. We all made yuck face at two of them, and then he
said, "Now listen to it on the old gear." He changed CDs and we listened. The
wrong notes were covered under the noise and it sound okay, but not real
good. He said, "The act is mediocre at best, but at least we could release it
before. We have to keep the old gear for bands like these."

Bill came in and said, "We have a newly signed group here that is dying to
met you two." We went into his office and introduced ourselves and they were
star struck. We were laughing and I said, "Relax. We're just like you are."
Bill tossed me and copy of their CD and I popped it into the stereo in his
office. It sounded okay and I didn't say anything. Debbie said, "Not to my
taste. But others may like it." The next tune wasn't bad and we turned it
off. I tossed it back and said, "Good luck." We walked out and Chet said to
us, "You hated it like I did. We both nodded and Chet said, "Margi can't
stand it but they won some talent contest deal and we were obligated to sign
them." I said, "Are they good musicians?"  Chet said, "They're actually
pretty decent, but the songs are lousy." I said, "If they had one really good
tune, would that help?" He was smiling and said, "Margi will kiss your feet."

Debbie said, "We have a tune we were working on for Brandy buy we already
have enough for her now. We'll finish it tonight and you can see if you like
it." Margi and Carrie caught up to us and Margi said, "You heard the wonder
stars CD?" We were laughing and nodded. Chet told her our idea and she was
kneeling in front of us and begging. We laughed our ass off.

We went back to our place and I said, "Stick around. We'll work on that song
now and you can tell us if it will work for that band. We started it for
Brandy, but have enough material already." We sat at the piano and spent
about 10 minutes finishing the one spot that was off. I said, "Here goes."
This one sounded like an old Eagles tune the way we wrote it and when we
started singing Margi said, "Oh Yeah." Debbie and I alternated the vocals as
it was written for two people. Then we did the chorus together. It had a good
hook and Margi stopped us and said, "This is a winner. Make sure Brandy
records this one and give us one of the others." I said, "You haven't heard
the other tunes. This is the weak one. We'll play a verse and chorus of each
one."

We took out the music and played a verse and chorus of each tune. Margi was
smiling and when we finished she said, "Your right. Brandy should be kissing
your ass. You mind playing it for them over here? I'll have Chet or Bill
bring them over." I said, "Sure. Just have them pick us up some dinner and a
couple of cases of beer." Margi called Bill and Chet and she said, "They're
on their way now. How do you like your Filet Mignon?" We were smiling and I
said medium rare for both of us."

Debbie and I were jerking around playing TV commercials and Margi and Carrie
were singing along and laughing. The old MacDonald's "You Deserve a Break
Today" one was the hit of our session. The doorbell rang and Carrie went to
let them in.

I said, "We had an extra song from the ones we wrote for Brandy James and
Margi thought you way want to put on your CD." Margi said, "It's going on the
CD. It won't sell the way it is now." I said, "Here we go." Debbie and I
played it and sang it and Chet was smiling and so was Bill. The band was star
struck again and I didn't think they heard it at all. Chet said, "Excellent."
I said to one of the band members, "You like it or not?" He just starred and
I said, "Someone wake them up and we'll play it again." Debbie was yelling,
"Earth to Chief Galactic Commander. Come in please!" Chet was laughing as
Bill woke them up from their stupor. I said, "We'll play it one more time.
Are you listening to me?" I waited for each person to answer and then we did
the song again. They loved it and I said, "Good. We'll teach it to you after
we eat. We're starved."

Chet said, "I love the new place." I said, "I am so glad we moved here. You
want the 10 cent tour?" We showed everyone around including the band and we
showed Bill our new yellow toy last. He said, "You sold the old 250?" I said,
"Yup for 1.8 million. We love the new spyder and ordered it in Jersey and had
it delivered here."

Chet had dinners for all of us and we sat in the dining room and ate with a
few beers. We were talking to the band and I said, "Who plays what and who
sings?" They told us everything about their act and I said, "What contest did
you win?" One of the guys said, "It's a band contest and we play other
peoples tunes. We know our own material sucks."

I said to Margi, "Why don't you take out an add on Taxi, the writers service.
You should be able to get three or four more good tunes for them." They had
no idea what I was talking about and I said, "Our computer isn't hooked up
yet to show you. Go to Taxi.Com and call the phone number to list a tune type
for writers. There's no charge for record companies looking for material. The
writers pay a subscription fee and you can listen to the music online until
you find what you like." Chet wrote it down and said, "Thanks." I said,
"There are two other sites, but I don't remember the names." Margi said, "We
use about 10 publishers but their material is lousy now. We already listened
to it. We'll check this out."

We finished eating and I lit a cigarette and so did Debbie. Debbie said,
"I'll be right back." She came back in a minute with our cheap cassette
recorder and said, "You ready to learn the tune?" We went into the music room
and I took a drag of my cigarette as Debbie set the recorder next to us. She
said, "First we are going to make a cheep cassette recording of the tune so
you have a reference if you need it. Also, we need someone to mail this to
copyright office as we just finished this tune today. We'll fill out the form
before you leave. Chet said, "I'll make sure it gets sent in."

We played the song and then turned off the tape, rewound it and listened to
make sure it worked. I rewound it again and popped it out of the deck. Debbie
said, "I'll get form and  fill it out." I started by showing the singer the
melody and had her sing it to my playing using the words on the sheet. She
had a good voice and only needed help in one part.  We did it again and then
we added the other vocal parts. Debbie came in with the form, a check, and
envelope and said, "Not bad at all." She handed her Taylor guitar to the
guitar player and we showed him the chords and beat. Now we had him playing
it with the singing. I showed their piano player the music and he read it
from our lead sheets and then they played it again. Margi said, "It's already
better than anything on that CD." I said, "They should be able to get it from
here. They need to make it their own tune and finish the arrangement."

I said, "You can keep that copy of the lead sheets with the words." I handed
the cassette and envelop to Chet and he said, "I'll make sure this is mailed
tomorrow morning." I said, "If you get struck on it, give us a call." Margi
gave us a hug and said, "Thank you!"

Chet and Bill left with the band and Margi said to us, "Tell me more about
those writer services on the web." I told her everything I knew and she said,
"I'll sign us up." She left with Carrie and we followed them in the Bentley
to a grocery store so we knew where it was. We did our food shopping and then
went back home.

Debbie and I went into our bedroom and we had passionate sex for hours.
Debbie was joking with me afterwards that we made Gizmo seasick. After we
finished laughing we feel asleep cuddling.

The next day we met with the tax accountant and we were so pissed about what
we owed. He set us up with some shelters and then we had him met with
everyone and Margi came over too. She told him she played the radio and we
all died.

Chet called us and we stopped by the studio to listen to how the band did our
song. It was lousy and I said, "You can't turn rocks into gold. The drummer
and guitar player suck, plus the vocals are off key." He said, "Give the song
back to Brandy. We're just going to take a loss on this one and be done with
it."

We talked to Margi about it and she said, "They suck. I'm not going to
release the CD. It's embarrassing. We'll cut our losses at 100 grand." Debbie
said, "We could doctor up the recording and make it sound good using digital
editing tools. We were playing with that stuff before. They will still suck
as a band, but the CD will sell." She said, "Try it, but don't spend more
than a few hours on it." We told Chet about our idea and he said, "We tried.
But your welcome to try it also." We got a disk of the song in the format we
needed and we went home and set up our computer and connected to the web.

I said, "You remember the web site we used from the detention center?" Debbie
typed it in and I said, "Excellent!" We were smiling as we loaded the data
into the computer and then we started to play with it.

This software is so neat and is meant for screwing with people's music files
as a hacker. We fixed the drum tracks by lining up the hits into the correct
time and then we fixed the three sections of vocals that were off key. The
guitar took some doing and we replaced it with a fake guitar from a
synthesizer. We put the files back together and then listened. I said, "We
have to fix the reverb on the drums. It has the echo at the wrong places."
This one was tuff. We erased all of the echo and then added one to everything
very lightly. We put the files back together and we listened and laughed. I
sent it via email to Chet and then I called him. I said, "Hi. Listen to your
new hit record." We listened to him play it and start laughing. He said, "How
in the fuck did you do that?" I said, "Bring up this web site." Debbie gave
him the name and I said, "It's a site for hackers that allows them to screw
up your music files. You can change anything." We told him what we did and he
was laughing and said, "I can't believe this. Thanks." Margi called us 5
minutes later and was laughing. She didn't say a word.

The next day we went with Brandy to the new studio and were in the control
booth while they recorded 8 of the new tunes. Margi, Bill and Chet were there
and we all knew this new CD had one hit after the other. Margi said, "You
keep this up and you'll be playing first in the concerts." I said, "You
haven't heard our new tunes yet." She was smiling and said, "This material is
great!"

We totally goofed off for the rest of our time off and finished writing the
rest of our new material as Brandy finished her new CD. We had the guys in
the band over and I said, "We recorded the first CD platter. Now tell us what
you think of these new tunes for the second platter." We played 15 tunes and
they voted 13 of them as a 10 and 2 as a 9.5. Everyone wanted to learn them
and I said, "Lets learn the top three that will be great in concert. We'll
wait until after the tour to do the rest."

We spent a half hour arguing over which ones to learn so I gave in and we
learned all of them in our home studio that we were now using for practice
also. Debbie called her mom and said, "Feel like coming over for two hours?
We'll show you why we'll still be playing last in the shows." She was
laughing at us on the speakerphone and said, "We'll be right over."

Margi showed up with Carrie and Chet, and we had them sit on a couch to watch
us like we were on stage. We did it like a show and played the ones we just
learned first and then went into the ones on the first platter. There were
two slow songs that were worse tearjerkers than the last one we did. When we
finished, Margi, Chet, and Carrie stood up like they hated it and didn't say
anything.

We were panicking and Margi said calmly, "You get to play last." The three of
them started laughing and Chet said, "We had you worried! That's a new look
for both of you. This stuff is great, but you knew that already. It was so
hard to not screaming after the first tune. Damn does that rock! I love how
you changed roles and let Jerry sing three of these. Debbie you play one hell
of a guitar and Kate, your honky-tonk piano is fantastic. By the way, the
slow ones are knockouts. That was so moving when you were talking to your
parents at their grave site." Margi started to cry and she hugged me and
said, "That was real wasn't it?" I got emotional again and nodded my head as
Debbie put her arms around both of us. The guys in the band had no idea it
was about me and were all getting emotional. Ginny and Barb were here also
and they both broke down with me. We all had a good cry. Chet said, "This is
what sells songs."

Jerry said, "Miller time" and took a beer out of the bar refrigerator for
everyone. We all popped the top and Margi said, "I forgot to tell you
something. You know that hackers web site you used to edit that tune? We'll
don't go there again. The FBI is watching it and called us when they noticed
your personal IDs on it. I told them what we were doing with it and they
thought it was funny." We were laughing and I said, "You releasing the CD?"
She said, "Hell yeah. We'll make back our investment on your song as long as
the group doesn't play it live. Then we're fucked." Chet was laughing and
nodding his head.

Carrie said, "You all set for the windy city? This should be good. The fans
there love you and Brandy. We increased the cost of the tickets and they
still sold out two hours after we announced the dates. Be nice to the fans
there as they paid a fortune to see you." Debbie said, "How much?" Carrie
said, "650 for floor level." We all had our mouths hanging open.

Margi, Carrie and Chet left and I said, "You are all welcome to stay the
night as the limos are coming here first in the morning." They all left to
get their bags and Debbie and I went upstairs to pack. I said, "Should we
goof on everyone and wear these shirts and then change before we go on?"
Debbie said, "Lets wear them to the airport in the morning. They're a piss."
We had tee shirts made and mine said, "I'm not Debbie". Debbie's said, "I'm
not Kate."

We finished packing and went downstairs as everyone was showing up again. We
all had a few beers and we were all on a mission to find Mel, Eddie, Les, and
Earl girl friends. I said, "At the first concert, Debbie and I are going to
ask the hottest looking babes we see in the audience to come on stage and
dance next to you on stage." They were begging us not to do it and were
blushing. Jerry was a piss and started really busting their balls. Then he
said, "I know you all really like me", and then tried to kiss them. We were
howling. Barb was rolling on the couch with tears in her eyes, as she was
laughing so hard. Finally Les said, "Okay, you win! Fix us up. But they have
to be a 10 and like to fuck and suck cock." I said, "Picky, picky, picky."

We had a fun time and then all went to bed. Debbie and I undressed each other
slowly and we were so into it each other. We licked her nipples in the
moonlight shining through our windows as she held my head to her breasts and
whispered, "That feels so good." I suckled one of her nipples, flicking my
tongue over it, as Debbie was moaning softly. She whispered into my ear, "Go
down on me honey. I love you so much." I lay between her spread open legs
using my hands to part her pussy lips and put my tongue in her deep. I
wiggled it and heard her moan louder and then I licked her like a dog lapping
up water. I sucked her clit into my mouth and massaged it as she was holding
my head to her gently and moaning loud, "Oh Kate honey. Make me cum baby.
Mmmmmm, oh, Ooohhhh, OOOOOOOOHHHHHH!"

I was driving her crazy and made her cum three times into my mouth. I kissed
her with a mouthful of her pussy cum and she rolled me on my back and said,
"I am going to eat you up." Debbie ate my pussy for almost an hour as I was
moaning and bucking my pussy into her face. She finally sat up and then we
kissed for a while. She took out Gizmo and said, "He's so excited about our
trip. I was telling him about it last night." We both started to laugh and
then the laugh turned to moans again as Debbie put one end into me and the
other into her. We fucked our brains out as we were breathing heavy into each
other's ear. Each time our pussies touched on our clits, I had another
orgasm. I was like a faucet.

When we stopped, Debbie told Gizmo to pack his bag and threw him next to our
bags. I lost it laughing as she smiled and lit a cigarette and then handed me
one too. I sucked in on the cigarette and it glowed bright red in the moonlit
room as Debbie was telling Gizmo to take a shower because he was coated in
pussy cum. We were both so nuts sometimes. She took a drag of her cigarette
and was lying against me and said, "Are we really different than most
people?" I said, "We just found the thing in life we like to do and are good
at it. We are also total sex maniacs, but I think that's pretty normal." She
said, "I was talking about us loving each other." I said, "Who cares. We know
what we feel and that's all that matters." She smiled and kissed me and said,
"You're right."

We went to the airport in the morning and everyone was laughing at our
shirts. We flew to Chicago and the stewardess thought it was so cute. She
still called me Debbie, and called Debbie Kate. Everyone was laughing.

We landed in Chicago and our limo took us to the hotel to check in and then
to the indoor sports arena to do a sound check for the concert. Brandy was
already there and I said, "How did you get here so fast?" She said, "We
didn't check into the hotel yet. We'll do it after the sound check or after
the show if we're running late. Our bags are in the limo outside."

We said hello to all of the crew that runs our concerts and the engineer
said, "Brandy, lets get you guys set up first." It took about an hour to get
everything set up right and the levels to be set. Then they did one of their
new tunes and it was really good. The engineers said through the stage
monitors, "Sounds great! Be back by 7:30 and give yourself extra time.
Traffic is a bitch here." They waved to us as the techs were getting our
stuff ready on stage.

It took us a little longer as the engineer was so picky, but we loved the way
it sounded. Then we did one of our new tunes that Debbie and I love. When we
finished it the engineer said through the stage monitors, "That's a number
one. When are you releasing it?" I said into the mic, "We finish recording
our new CD after this tour ends in four weeks. Think we should open with it?"
He said back, "Its outrageous. I couldn't sit still."

The techs took the instruments and we all went out to eat dinner. We finished
dinner and then took the limo back to the concert and traffic was a
nightmare. Brandy's limo and ours pulled up to the arena at 10 minutes to 8
and I said to her, "I guess the fans will have to wait. Don't kill yourself
rushing." We were mobbed by the fans and I said, "We would love to sign
autographs. Catch us later after the show. We're actually late because of the
traffic." We shook hands and everyone was touching our shoulders as we went
into the stage entrance.

Brandy yelled to the engineer, "We're all here. Traffic was a disaster." They
all waved to us and the emcee walked over and said, "How much time do you
need?" Brandy said, "10 minutes and we should be all set." They all went to
the dressing room and the bathroom, and then they waved to the emcee. He
waved back and the stage lights went out and that was the cue to go get
ready.  This place was all open so we could stand at the game floor entrance
from the locker rooms and watch the show.

We stood and watched the emcee give the build up and announce their new CD as
being available in the stores. Then he yelled, "Please welcome, Brandy James
to the windy city!" The crowd was cheering and we clapped for her as they
started the show with one of their old tunes. We watched for a while and they
played two of their new tunes and the audience liked them. Debbie took my
hand and said, "Lets sit down for a while and have a smoke."

We went to the dressing room area and lit cigarettes as we sat on the couch.
The rest of the crew came back with us and Ginny was all over Frank. I said,
"I saw some cut babes in the second row Mel." Everyone was laughing and he
was blushing. We joked around until we heard Brandy's last song and then we
went to the entrance area, as there was no intermission in this place.

The audience went wild when Brandy finished and they walked off stage towards
us waving to the crowd and we gave them all a high five. The stage lights
went dim and then the engineer started a film playing of us doing one of the
crazy things where Debbie climbs on the piano, as we walked on stage and got
ready. The emcee was talking about our hits and said, "They have positions
number 1, 2 and 4 in the charts right now. Please give a warm Chicago welcome
to Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin!" The lights went on low and Frank clicked
it off and we did one of our new tunes.  We got the audience into it big time
as Debbie and I were acting like animals. We both spotted four gorgeous
looking women about 21 years old sitting in the second row and Debbie winked
at me. We ended the tune and I said into the headset mic, "Thank you. It's
good to be in Chicago. That was one of our new tunes that will be out in a
few weeks on a new double CD." The cheers were really loud and Debbie said,
"I feel like I need some loving." She put her arm over my shoulder and the
crowd went wild. I smiled and waited a few seconds and said, "She is cute and
hot as hell, isn't she?" The cheers got louder and I waited a few seconds and
then started singing the introduction to one of our tunes called, "I need a
little loving."

The show went great. We played our slow song and then went right into the
next one that was even worse. I had a tear on my face and the audience stood
for both songs. I never heard cheers and applause that loud in my life when
we finished the second song. Debbie said into the mic, "Thank you. That last
one was a new tune that Kate and I wrote about her parents. It really hit
home when we first played it and we hope you liked it." They stood again and
the cheers got really loud. I said, "Lets get this place happy again." Frank
started the beat for the next tune and Debbie and I were talking and joking
around. Then we got the audience clapping and we started the tune.

Debbie and I went into the audience in one song and we invited the four women
up on the stage and they came with us. I thought Mel was going to cum in his
pants. We had them dance with us during a solo and then we sang as they
stayed on stage and were hanging all over the guys. The audience loved it and
we made such a big deal about it after each song. We helped them back to
their seats and I tuned off my headset mic and said, "Join us backstage after
the show."

The rest of the concert went great and we did the beer song as an encore. The
fans were still standing and screaming for more and Debbie said to us,
"Always leave them wanting more." We waved to the fans again and I waved to
the women in the second row. They waved back and walked to the stage
entrance.

Mel, Eddie, Les, and Earl were acting like lunatics and the women were all
over them. Brandy was hanging onto us and laughing her ass off as we walked
backstage. She said, "Very cool show." The guys got hooked up and after we
all signed autographs for about an hour, we went back to the hotel to party.
We were so out of control in our suite. Everyone from both bands was naked
and smashed on beer. Debbie and I sucked off Jim with Brandy and she was so
into watching us. Then we had sex with Jerry and Barb and that was
outrageous. Barb still eats pussy better than anyone.

We all passed out in our suite around 5 in the morning.


CHAPTER 11 - A NEW BAND


The mid-west mini-tour went great. We played in 13 cities and the women that
we introduced to the guys quit their jobs and went with us after the second
night in Chicago. We couldn't believe it and the guys we walking on air. The
last week in Ohio we couldn't wait to get home and finish our new CD.
Brandy's new CD was released and we still had three songs in the top ten and
so did she now. It was becoming a contest as we checked billboard magazine
everyday. Margi thought it was the funniest thing in the world as we were
betting on a buck a day on it.

When we got home, we went straight to the studio the next day. In three days
we had one hell of a new double platter CD. Margi, Chet and Bill told us it
was the best country release they were ever involved in. They took new photos
of everyone for this cover and Debbie and I looked like country hookers.
Carrie was drooling and so was Chet. I said, "I guess that means it's good?"
Margi said, "Yeah, it's fucking good."

The film that our beer song was in finally was released 6 weeks late, and we
went to see it. The movie was funny as hell and our song was in it five times
as a theme song. We smiled at each other every time it played.

Just before our Southern tour started, our new CD was released and Brandy had
to pay us a buck as we now had 6 songs in the top ten. Margi was hysterically
laughing and Brandy said, "I'll pay them everyday as long as they keep
writing for us." We got our statements for the last tour and it was double
that from New York. Carrie keeps raising the price of the tickets and they
still sell out within hours after the show is announced.

The band wanted to talk to us and we sat with them. Jerry said, "We owe you
everything. You trusted us, are paying us a salary, and built us into the
profits of the concerts. No one would have done that. We just wanted to say
thanks." We hugged them and I said, "We don't want you to ever leave us,
unless it's to retire." Then we all had two beers.

The Southern mini-tour started in Austin Texas and then went to San Antonio.
We loved it there. We had a day layover in San Antonio and Debbie and I spent
the day and night at the River Walk. It has got to be the most romantic place
on earth. Both bands were with us along with their dates, as we went club
hopping and all of us ended up singing a song at some bar. We had a blast.

We played Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Mobile, Tallahassee, Tampa,
and then worked our way North towards Nashville. Through the whole tour we
couldn't stop talking about Austin and San Antonio. Part of the passion comes
from us doing a TV show in Austin, called Austin City Limits. We played live
at night outside under the lights and we loved doing it. The fans there are
the best in the world.

When we got back home we all wanted to just goof and relax. Debbie and I had
the tour routine down cold now and we hired people to stock us up on food the
day before we come home, and also tend to everything around the house and the
cars.

We took the Ferrari into the city and decided to spend some time at the local
clubs to hear the bands and musicians. Brandy and Jim joined us after they
did some early morning grocery shopping and we heard some decent musicians
and bands. We went to a bunch of the clubs and had a few beers with lunch and
listened and talked to people. We also signed some autographs. We were just
about ready to leave when a different act went on stage. We watched them
start and sat back down as Debbie said, "Wow!" We listened to them play 5
songs and we loved it.

Jim asked them to join us and they were so star struck. We were laughing
about it and I said, "Just relax. We're just like you and we loved your
music." The woman introduced herself as Dane and then told us everyone else's
name. They had a beer with us and we talked about their act. I said, "Why
don't you do a demo CD and get it too a record company?" Dane said, "We can't
afford it. We are flat broke and work part time to be able to still play
music."

Debbie said, "How many tunes do you have that sound like the one's you
played?" She said, "About 45. That's the easy part." Brandy and Jim were
laughing and I said, "No it's not. For most people it's the hardest part. Are
you available to audition in the next few days? We may be able to get someone
to listen to your band." Dane said, "Anytime." We got their names and phone
numbers, and I said, "We'll call you later if we can make it happen."

We left in the Ferrari and they were watching Debbie drive like a lunatic as
we went over to see her mom at the office. We waited for her meeting to end
and she waved to us as we sat in the waiting area and talked to her admin.
Margi came out to see us and Debbie said, "We heard a band today at one of
the local clubs that we thought you should hear. They can't afford to make a
demo but the songs we heard were really good and they said they had 45 of
them written that are similar." She walked into Bill's office and told him,
and he came out to see us. I said, "You want to see them play in an audition?
We think they're really good and so does Brandy and Jim." He said, "Lets set
it up for them to play in our studio tomorrow. See if they can make it at
11." I called Dane from my cell phone and she answered. I said, "Hi. It's
Kate. You available to audition at 11 tomorrow?" She was so hyper and I was
laughing. I said, "Take down the address and my cell number." I gave it to
her and said, "Bill, do they need to bring gear?" He said, "Just they're own
guitars unless they want to use ours." Dane heard him and said, "Thank you,
thank you, thank you. Well see you at 11."

I drove the Ferrari home with the top down and this was a blast. Debbie said,
"Lets take a swim honey. We haven't used our pool yet."

We spent the rest of the day lounging at our pool naked. Now this was the
life. I lit a cigarette and Debbie said, "We start the next tour in San
Diego. I didn't think they even knew what country music was in Southern
California."  Took a drag of my cigarette and said, "So we learn some beach
boys tunes and play them if the crowd gets ugly." Debbie was smiling and
said, "Yeah right. Can you see us singing Fun, Fun, Fun." We were giggling
and talked and joked around all day and went into the water a few times. It
was so nice. Then we made love on the cement patio by the shallow end of the
pool. Debbie ate my pussy for almost a half hour and I orgasmed twice in her
mouth. When I went down on her and I savored the taste in my mouth before I
swallowed. I loved to eat her pussy.

We went inside and put on some cloths and then made ourselves dinner. We ate
in the den watching TV and got so hooked on some stupid mystery movie. We
were betting a dollar on who was the murderer and we both were wrong. We made
love again in our den and I was like a Gumby doll in Debbie's arms. She was
smiling and she knew exactly what she was doing to me.  We went upstairs and
put 200 miles on Gizmo. We fucked our pussies together for hours and then
passed out in each other's arms.

The alarm woke us up at 9 and we did our morning routine and then ate
breakfast and went to the studio. Chet and Bill were there along with Jessie,
an A&R rep. Dane and her band showed up at the building and we went out to
get them. I said, "Just relax and play like you did yesterday and you'll be
fine."

We went into the studio and Jessie ran the audition. She had the band set up
and all of us sat on a couch in the rehearsal room. Jessie said, "Anytime
you're ready." They played just like they did yesterday and Chet looked at me
and smiled. Jessie let them play 20 tunes and they were all good. She said,
"How many more do you have like this?" Dane said, "About 25 more. Want us to
keep playing?" Chet said, "Do you mind? We really like your band and want to
hear all of them." Dane was smiling as they played. They did three slow tunes
that were dynamite. They finished about 1:30 and Chet said, "Join us for some
lunch so we can talk."

Bill said, "Kate, you have the Bentley here?" I said, "Yeah, we can take the
band with us. Where're we going?" He said, "Follow us. You haven't been to
this place yet." We lit cigarettes and followed Bill as we talked to the
band. I said, "Chet is one the best country producers anywhere. Bill is head
of record productions and A&R. Jessie is an A&R rep." Dane said, "How did you
get signed by this label? We were told this is the hardest one to get into."
Debbie said, "We cheated. My mom is the President of the company." They were
laughing and I said, "It's true. She heard us and she signed us. We were in
the process of paying for our own demo at Mega Studios in New Jersey." Dane
said, "That had to cost a fortune." I said, "Money was never been one of our
problems."

We went to the restaurant and Margi met us there also. She introduced herself
and Debbie winked at Dane. When Margi said, "How would you like to join us as
performing artists?" Dane stood up and yelled, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Everyone in
the restaurant was looking and we all cracked up. She blushed eight shades of
red as she sat down and the band was still laughing. Chet said, "How soon can
you start the recording process. The studio is open for about 2 weeks right
now." Dane said, "Tomorrow. We've been ready for this day all of our lives."

We hooked them up with a lawyer, and I told Carrie to hire someone to work
for her and manage them also. She was laughing at us and said, "You two are
determined to make me rich." I said, "It's in the contact. Read it again.
Plus you get an over-ride on all of it with them." She was smiling from ear
to ear.

Chet asked us to help arrange a few of their tunes and we loved doing it. The
rest of our band joined us along with Brandy's band. Dane said, "This song
has got to be gold with all of you working on it." Brandy said, "I have news
for you. Kate and Debbie write all of our material. We're just the puppets
and are here for moral support." Chet was smiling and said, "Don't believe
that part of it. Kate and Debbie write the material, but Brandy is one hell
of a singer and musician. Kate and Debbie offered a tune to you also if you
want to record it. It didn't fit on their last CD, so we tabled it. Let me
play it for you." Brandy nodded her head as she thought it would be a great
single for them. Chet played the recording we did for them and Dane said,
"What's the catch? That's a hit record." I said, "The catch is that we get
the writers royalties for that song and it gets released as a single. It will
drive the sales of your CD and everyone will make money on it." She was
smiling and so was the rest of the band.

We taught them the tune and they played it great. They finished recording the
CD with the best 16 tunes plus ours, as we were preparing for our next tour.
I said to Carrie, "Want to give them a big kick ass boost for their first
gig? Let them play at our LA gig in between our acts. It's televised on
national TV, remember?" She said, "You don't mind?" I said, "Hell no. If they
suck we'll sound better. If they do good, everyone will be into it and then
they will be more into our act when we come on." I called Brandy and she
thought it was a good idea also so we did it. Margi just laughed.

We took the next 5 days to totally unwind and become sun tanned pool babes.
Debbie looked so hot with a dark tan. She told me the same thing. We tanned
in the buff and had sex by the pool every day. We both wanted to just stay
home this time. I said, "Next time we have a long break and we'll get back to
being normal again." Debbie said, "We'll never be normal. We can't walk down
a street without being stopped for autographs or having someone take our
pictures for a magazine." I said, "It's great isn't it?" She rolled on top of
me, said, "Yup", and then gave we a wet kiss that lasted over 10 minutes. My
pussy was dripping. We made love for over four hours that afternoon.

We left for the West coast tour by flying to San Diego. We loved the climate,
but the people were such flakes. We must have heard people say "totally
awesome dude" a hundred times, just in the airport. But the fans were
wonderful, even through they were mentally fucked up. We played San Diego, a
smaller place outside of Long Beach, and then we went to LA. This was a big
deal and we had to be there the day before to do the sound checks in the
morning. Dane flew out to meet us and she was thanking me for arranging with
Carrie to front them the money. I said, "You're going to make ten times that
each day. Just do your stuff and everyone will love you."

Brandy did their sound check and the TV crews were there also getting levels
and camera angles. They talked to Dane about their act and then we watched
with Brandy as they set that band up and got the levels. Dane did our song
for the level check and the engineer said, "Sounds great!" All of us clapped
for them.

We were next and this took forever as we do so many changes in the show with
who plays what instruments and who sings lead lines. We had to play four
songs with the different combinations and the engineer said into the stage
monitors, "Excellent! I love that song. You guys smoked it last night."

The show producer came over and talked to all of us and went through the show
of how it would work. He showed us where to enter the stage and how to leave
after our act is over. He said to me and Debbie, "When you walk into the
audience make sure you keep your headset mics on. I want everyone on TV
hearing the crowd screaming like they do for you. We'll see you here tomorrow
at 2 in the afternoon. The show starts at 4 and you'll be off the air by 7."

We all went to the hotel together in three limos and I said, "Anyone for some
sight seeing today?" We rented one of the huge stretched limo SUVs that seats
30 and had a tour guide take us through Hollywood and a few of the movie
sets. We watched a film being made and we cracked up as two of the actors
asked us me, Debbie and Brandy for autographs. I said, "Only if you give us
yours too." They sat with us and we all had coffee at the movie set and
laughed at each other. They asked us what we were doing here and we told them
about the show tomorrow. Debbie gave them all tickets as we still had 10 left
over from the package Carrie gave us.

The director was screaming at them to get back to work and one of the actors
said, "Fuck you! We're busy." We cracked up and they gave us a tour of the
movie set. Then we were asked to leave and the actors were telling us they'd
see us tomorrow.

The tour of the Hollywood homes was a real let down. We were expecting
castles and our house was much bigger. We saw a yellow Ferrari just like ours
and Debbie was so excited. I said, "We'll be home in 3 weeks honey."

We went back to the hotel and ate dinner together. We were so routy the
manager came to yell at us and then recognized us. He said, "I think you may
be more comfortable in a private room." We were all laughing as he moved us
to a room in the back and then we were really nuts. Dane should have been a
stand up comic. I almost wet my pants as she told jokes for over two hours.

We moved the party upstairs into the Presidential Lounge that all of our
rooms opened into. It was really nice and Jerry ordered two cases of beer
brought upstairs. We were louder in there than in the restaurant and then we
heard a loud knock at the lounge door about 10 o'clock. I got up from the
couch and opened the door and the manager was standing there. He just looked
at me and said, "Never mind." We cracked up and Dane said," This is unreal.
Is every place like this with you?" Brandy said, "Worse. We did things in a
few hotels we would have been arrested for last year. They just ignore us."

We packed it in about midnight and Debbie and I went to our room and lay in
bed laughing at Dane's jokes again. She took our Gizmo and was talking to
him. I was still laughing as she lubed him up and put one end into my pussy.
I moaned so loud, and then she put the other end in her and moaned into my
ear as she pushed us together. We kissed and fucked our brains out for about
an hour. I orgasmed three times and then we gave Gizmo a break and I lay on
top of Debbie in a 69 position. We ate each other slowly and massaged each
other's clit until our mouths were tired. My pussy was twitching non-stop as
the juices were spraying into Debbie's mouth and I was almost singing opera.

I got off of Debbie and lay next to her on the pillow. We kissed and she
said, "Honey, you hit a high C note with vibrato on that last orgasm." We
both were cracking up as we lit cigarettes. I took a deep drag as we cuddled
and talked about how much we loved each other. Debbie said, "I love you more
than bubble bath." I almost wet my pants laughing as she said, "I really love
bubble bath. Hey, what a great song." We finished our smokes and then conked
out.

The next morning we ordered breakfast in our lounge for everyone and Debbie
and I wrote a song called, "I love you more than everything." Everyone was
laughing at a few of the lines.

We walked around outside for a little while and were mobbed for autographs
again. We decided to go to the show. We were a few minutes late and the
director was panicking. I said, "We know what were doing. Don't panic." They
had a wardrobe set up for us and TV makeup. I said, "No way! We're performing
just like in a concert. This is our act. Now fucking hair dos and dresses.
Its blue jeans, open shirts, and boots. That's us, not this shit." Everyone
was clapping for me and the director said, "Okay. Do it your way. But no
naked breasts on TV." Debbie pulled up her shirt and said, "You mean I can't
do this?" I thought the director was going to have a heart attack. We were
laughing so hard Jerry had to run to the bathroom to pee. Barb gave Debbie a
high five.

We went into the dressing rooms and lit cigarettes as we jerked around
waiting for the show to start. The actors came back stage with the passes we
gave them they sat with us. One of them said, "How can you play in front of
so many people? I would be shitting in my pants." We were all laughing as I
said, "Don't you ever perform in theater?" He said, "No way."

The director came backstage and said, "All people in the audience must leave
now." I said, "Just like your director." They were smiling as they walked to
the seats along with the girls. Barb hugged Jerry and said, "Play good baby.
We'll see you after the show."

Brandy went to the stage area and we all stood by the entrance and watched.
Dane was getting nervous and I said, "It's just like playing for us. The
audience will love you. Plus your single was released yesterday and it's
doing great."

We watched the whole show start with the roaming spotlights and orchestra
recorded music. A TV emcee was on a side stage with cameras on him and gave a
great build up of the show. Then he announced Brandy. The cameras went on as
the audience was cheering and they kicked ass. I said to Dane, "See how easy
it is. Just go out there and have fun."

We watched a few songs and I said, "Lets go sit down. You have another 30
minutes." She said, "I want to watch all of it. This is great. I want to take
it all in. Every second of it." We stayed and watched with her and the band,
as Brandy put on a great show as usual and the audience loved it. Brandy
finished her show and audience was all standing and cheering loud as the sign
for commercial sign flashed and then Dane went to the stage as Brandy came
over by us. I said, "Good show!" She said, "The camera guy was in my way the
whole time. I almost pushed him over." We were watching Dane and all of us
waved to her as she looked over and smiled.

The TV emcee gave her the cue and the cameras went on. They started with the
new single and the audience went wild. She smiled as she was singing and then
really got into the stage show. She was flirting with the audience and even
put her arm over the cameraman's shoulder as she sang. We all cracked up and
the crowd loved it. She finished the song and got a standing ovation and then
she told a joke about Hollywood. The place was howling as they started the
next tune.

Dane did her 5 songs and the audience absolutely loved her. She was so humble
thanking them and blew kisses as she walked off the stage. Debbie and I
hugged her as we went to the stage. The audience was cheering as soon as we
walked to the stage and the TV emcee was screaming into the mic to be heard.
We were waving to the crowd and motioned to make it louder. We got the camera
lights and Frank started a beat and I walked to the front of the stage and
posed real sexy as Debbie put her arm on my shoulder and said, "We're so glad
to be here in LA. Feel the beat with us!" We danced real sexy to the beat and
the crowd was screaming as we started the beer song. The whole place was
singing along in the chorus and we loved it.

We drove the cameraman nuts and he moved off the stage as we were running all
around him. We went into the audience as usual and sang to the actors. They
had a close up of them and Debbie and I kissed them and the place went nuts.
They were hysterical.

We talked to the audience and slowed it down. I said, "These next two songs
were very moving to us when we wrote them. They're about me loosing my
parents in a tragedy." The lights went out and we were in a spot and did both
songs back to back, running one into the other. We both got emotional on the
last line of the second song and hugged each other. Everyone was standing for
us and clapping and we saw tears on hundreds of faces.

Jerry took it from there as I sat at the grand piano and Debbie picked up a
guitar.  We rocked and she stood on the piano playing an outrageous guitar
solo and then I did a piano solo. We sang the harmony parts and the audience
was on their feet the whole time. We watched people dancing in the isles and
the cameras shooting them. Jerry sounded great and went right into one of the
tunes that he sings.

The audience stood the entire concert and the cheers were almost deafening as
we played our last 6 hits in a row. Each time a song ended the cheers were
louder than a jet engine. After the sixth one, we talked to the audience and
noticed the director giving us the last song signal. I said, "We would love
to stay and play here all night. You have been a great to us. We just got the
nod that we can play one more tune. We'd like to ask all of the bands one
earlier to come out and join us for this one. Brandy? Dane? Get out here!"
The other bands came on stage and the crowd went wild as we were smiling. I
said to them, "Just like last night." Frank started the song for us and we
did our newest release that just made number 1 in the charts and everyone
sang parts of it. The audience loved it and was clapping for each person that
sang a line. Dane was walking on air as Debbie and I put our arms on her
shoulders as we sang. We all bowed to the audience and people were throwing
roses at the stage. I put one in Debbie's hair and the place went wild. All
of us were hugging and waving to the audience as the camera lights went out
and we walked off the stage.


CHAPTER 12 - BREAKING UP AND MAKING UP


We walked through the entrance to the backstage area as we all waved again to
the audience that was were still standing and cheering. When we got out of
sight from the audience, Dane hugged us and was screaming. I said, "You did
great!" Brandy was smiling and said, "Terrific idea for the ending."

We lit cigarettes as the actors came back stage and were hugging all of us.
One of them said, "Best show we ever saw. You shocked the shit out of us."
Debbie said, "You suck at kissing." We all cracked up as the director came
back stage and said, "Great show everyone. I loved the ending."

We went into the dressing room and were unwinding. Debbie had her cell phone
on the dressing table and it was ringing. She answered it and said, "Hi. It's
my mom!" She talked for a few minutes and then she put me on the phone. I
said, "You like it?" She was raving about it and said, "You just made Dane's
career. Thank you." I said, "Some things are priceless. For all others
there's MasterCard, which I now accept." She was laughing and I gave the
phone back to Debbie. I heard her laughing and then say, "I'll tell her.
Thanks mom." Debbie whispered into my ear, "We just a bonus from the board of
directors for that trick." I put my arms around her and gave her a wet French
kiss as everyone was clapping. Debbie said, "Now that's a kiss." The actors
were howling and one said, "You guys want to party? We have some good weed."

We all went back to out hotel and ordered four cases of beer and some snacks
in the Presidential lounge. Tom, one of the actors, took our a bag from his
pocket and said, "All wrapped and ready." We waited for the food and beer to
be delivered as we talked about the show. They loved Dane's act and she was
blushing. Our beer and food showed up and Debbie signed for it. Tom took out
some joints and I lit one. I took two deep drags and held in the smoke and
then passed it to Debbie. She took two tokes also and then we gave it to
Brandy. We had 8 joints going at the same time for over a half hour. We were
all totally stoned and then started drinking.

Within an hour everyone was naked and admiring our tans as I was eating out
Debbie as she sat on the couch and I was kneeling on the floor between her
legs. She orgasmed and moaned loud as she held my head to her pussy. I sucked
in all of her juices and then got up and kissed her. We got a round of
applause as we watched Barb sucking off Jerry. Debbie was half trashed and
said, "We suck cock better than she does baby." Everyone wanted to see us do
it and we knelt on the floor and had two guys at a time stand in front of us
as we sucked them off. I loved it when Mel's cock pulsated in my mouth and I
felt the hot cum blast into my throat. Debbie was watching him shoot into my
mouth and each time we held the cum in our mouths, showed it to everyone, and
then kissed as we swallowed. The girls were getting as hot as we were from
watching. They lit a few more joints and were giving us tokes between
blowjobs and we stopped after we each did 7. Then the party really started.

Barb was all over us and we made love to her as Jerry fucked all three of us.
The guys from Dane's band did us at the same time, and I had two cocks in my
pussy at once. I was going wild as Debbie was sucking my nipples and telling
me hot it looked. I kissed her so hard we made each other's lips bleed.

Dane ate the cum out of my pussy as Ginny ate the cum out of Debbie. Then we
did it all over again. This time I got fucked in the ass by one of the actors
and I loved how it felt as Debbie ate my pussy. Then it was my turn to eat
her out as she got it up the ass. I was on fire.

At 3 in the morning we completely wore out all of the guys and just us girls
had one hell of a pile up on the floor. Debbie got Gizmo from our room and we
fucked each other for about an hour and then let Brandy and Dane used it
together. They won't give it back and we were cracking up as they were
orgasming non-stop. Jim was awake and watching them so Debbie and I crawled
over to him and sucked him off one more time. Brandy was yelling, "Oh yeah.
Kate, make him cum and swallow it baby." Debbie and I made him cum again and
he passed out as we still had the cum in our mouths kissing.

We conked out at 5 in the morning lying cuddled in a huge pile of arms, legs,
tits and ass. Our actor buddies woke everyone up at 11 by singing one of our
songs and we were all laughing as we sat up. Tom said, "Breakfast is served."
He had four tables of food in the room and we were cracking up. I said,
"You've done this before." He smiled and said, "It shows?" We were smiling
and he said, "We have to split. We are really late for the shoot today and
the director will be very pissed at us again. Oh well. We loved the show.
Come see us next time you're in town." We all mumbled goodbye as we were half
asleep. Barb was sitting on Jim's cock as we got up and went into to take a
shower and get dressed.

Debbie and I kissed and caressed each other in the shower and then made love
on the bed afterwards. We both orgasmed and then we kissed and were laughing
about last night. We went into the lounge area and had breakfast as everyone
else was coming out of their room dressed.

We all finished eating and then Debbie and I went downstairs to get the
newspaper at a newsstand. We saw today's local rags and Debbie said, "Check
out the pictures on the cover." We bought it and the paper and went back to
the room. We showed everyone the pictures of us kissing the actors in the
audience and the headlines. Everyone was laughing as I said, "I am not Brad's
new girl friend. You have to love this shit."

We took the limos to the Kodak Theater in Hollywood and played another show
exactly the same with Dane. They did great and then they flew back home.

The rest of our tour was a blast. Next stop was San Francisco for two nights,
Seattle; back to LA and then to Vegas for four nights. We hated playing Los
Vegas, as it was all drunks. Not that we were any better, but as an audience
they sucked. We had one more week which was in Arizona and that was cool.

We flew home and were so relaxed. Margi and Carrie met as at the airport and
they were hugging us non-stop. I said, "What's all the fuss?" They showed us
the billboard charts and between us, Brandy, and Dane we had all ten top
slots. I said, "Very cool." Carrie said, "Feel like going on the road again
next week?" I said, "We need a little break." She said, "It's not a concert
tour. You guys play one song and then you two and Brandy are guest judges on
Nashville Star, and then you two fly to LA and are guest judges on American
Idol. That should be fun."

We were talking as we walked to the limo and I said, "Sure." We lit
cigarettes as Brandy said, "When do we leave?" Carrie said, "The Nashville
show is in two days at the Grand Ole Opry in town and the LA show is two days
later. Then you're off for a while to goof off."

I said, "How's Dane doing?" Carrie said, "They're on the road and love it. We
have them playing with a startup development act doing smaller venues on a
buss tour. They get one big gig a week and are making some good money. Not
what you guys do, but they are doing just fine. They get back in three
weeks."

I took a drag of my cigarette as we got into the limo with Mari and Carrie.
Margi said, "Can the rest of you take the other cars, we need to talk for a
few minutes." I said, "What's up?" She handed me and Debbie a check and said,
"The board wanted you to have it." We both smiled and I said, "Thank you."
Margi said, "This is the statement of what you will be getting paid next
week. You won't believe it. You broke every record we had. Page 6 is from
Brandy's CD. This doesn't include Dane yet."

We looked at the total again and I said, "Holy shit." Debbie leaned on me
smiling and said, "Well, we're now filthy rich. What's our next goal?" Margi
was cracking up and so was Carrie as we looked at the numbers again.

Debbie and I totally goofed off at home the next day, and then went to the
Grand Ole Opry for the Nashville Star show with Brandy. We both played a song
and our show was really good. The contestants were all kind of nervous with
us grading them. There was a guest host and she introduced each act and we
listened to them play. The three of us whispered to each other what we
thought and then we alternated as to who spoke. Debbie was first and said to
the fist guy, "You sucked." Everyone was cracking up and I said, "You weren't
suppose to say that. You were supposed to say you were flat on a lot of
notes." Debbie said, "Flat on a lot of notes means you suck."

We were laughing and so was everyone else. The next contestant was even worse
and I had to give my opinion. Everyone was waiting as I fumbled for words and
Debbie said, "Spit it out already." I said, "Okay! You were one step worse
than sucks. I just don't know what word I can say on the air but I was
thinking of something in the bathroom category." Everyone was laughing and
the other judge said, "You three are tuff. Glad I didn't start here."

We finally heard someone we liked and she really was good. I was my turn
again and I said, "We liked it. The only thing we would change is how you
didn't go high on the end of the chorus, but it sounded really good." She was
smiling at us and other judges stood and clapped for us and one said, "They
are human after all."

The rest of them were horrible and Debbie told one guy, "You should never
open your mouth again as nothing good will ever come out of it." I lost it
and so did Brandy. We both told Debbie before she gave her comments to be
nice to him, as we felt sorry for him.

After the show we met the contestants and we talked to the one girl we liked.
The other judges were praising every move she made on stage and she said to
us, "You were very honest and I appreciate that. Think I have a shot of
winning?" I said, "Forget about winning. Can you write?" She said, "I think I
have some good tunes. Want to hear them?" I said, "Sure. Serenade us."

We walked back stage and she took a folk guitar and played us seven songs
that were all dynamite. Then she played some outrageous guitar stuff and
said, "My main instrument is bass guitar. That's what I play in a band now."
I said, "If you don't win, call me. You have what it takes to make it now,
without this dumb contest." She was smiling and I gave her our phone numbers
and address. I said, "I mean it. Call both numbers because if we're on tour
we won't get our home messages for a while." We took her phone number and
address too. I said, "Linda, best of luck to you. Call us and let us know how
you make out."

That night the band came over to the house to talk to us and Jerry said, "I
know this may sound ungrateful and biting the hand that feeds us, but here
goes anyway. Please don't be pissed off. We want to go on our own as a band,
but we need material to do it and need to find you a band that can do what we
do on stage and in the studio." I said, "When did you decide this?" Jerry
said, "We were talking last night and it has nothing to do with both of you.
We love you and your music. It has to do with us being the spotlight. We all
want some of what you have." I said, "Let Debbie and I talk about how we pull
this off and we'll get together in a few days. I may have a few ideas that
will work for you." Debbie was pissed and didn't say anything.

They left and we sat in the den and I said, "It's not the end of the world.
We can launch their act with our music and make money on it. What would you
think of this? What if we became a band? You, me, Brandy, Melissa, Dane, and
maybe Linda that we met today plus Jim, and we need to add a drummer and a
few others. We all play almost every instrument and six babes that can do
what we do on stage will be a super group. I was thinking of calling us
"Legends, Southland, Chic's, or something like that." Debbie was smiling and
kissed me softly and said, "I like it. We could do a 90 minute show and have
Carrie book different bands to front us each week. That way the profits are
higher for all of us. We should write music for Jerry if we decide to do it."

We called Brandy and asked her and Jim to come over. They lived about a mile
away and were there in no time. Debbie explained what was going on with our
band and Brandy panicked. I said, "Don't worry. What do you think of this
idea?" I explained it and Jim loved it. Brandy said, "This could be a lot of
fun. I need to met Linda."

I called Linda at the number she gave us and I said, "Hi Linda. It's Kate
Rodgers. I know you don't know about the contest yet, but we wanted to give
you something to think about. Can you join us at our place for about an
hour?" I gave her the address and she said, "Sure. Mind if my girl friend
joins us? She's a great drummer and would love to meet you." I smiled at
Debbie and Brandy and said, "Bring her along. We'd love to meet a good woman
drummer."

We hung up and Brandy was laughing at Jim when he said, "I'll be the only
guy. Oh do I love this! Can I watch you three kiss again?" The three of us
kissed and he was going nuts. We couldn't stop laughing.

Linda rang the front doorbell and I went to let them in. They were looking
around and I said, "Come on into the studio." Debbie, Brandy and Jim were
already in the studio and I introduced Linda and she introduced Gail. I said,
"Can we ask you to play some bass for us and Gail can play drums, with Debbie
playing guitar."

They were both so excited as Linda tuned up one of the bass guitars and was
doing runs to warm up. Gail tuned the drum kit and was loosening up also.
Debbie tuned the Fender Strat and said, "You know any of our fast tunes?"
Linda said, "All of them." I yelled out a song name and turned on the PA
system. Gail gave them four clicks to start it as we all sat and listened as
I sang the words sitting on the couch. Brandy said, "This is good." Jim
nodded his head too and we finished the song.

Debbie gave them both a high five and said, "Have a seat. You want a beer?"
We each opened a beer and lit cigarettes. I said, "I'm going to tell you
something that you can not repeat to anyone yet. Do I have your word on it?"
They both agreed and Debbie told them about our band and what we were
thinking of doing. I said, "You two want to be equal partner's in it?" They
were ready to jump out of their skin and Linda said, "Oh my God! What a
decision I have to make." I said, "Don't do or say anything yet to anyone.
First we have to talk to Margi about the record contracts and make sure she's
okay with it. Then we want to talk to Dane. Even if she's not interested, I
say we do it. Brandy, Debbie, what do you think?" Debbie said, "Hell yeah."
Brandy said, "I'm in. This sounded really good. You two know any of my
material?"

We played a few of Brandy's tunes with Jim on guitar, me on piano, and Debbie
on Pedal steel. We couldn't believe how good it sounded. I said, "This is a
no brainer. That sounded great!" I said, "You available during the day, or do
you work?" Linda said, "Gail and I live together and we both quit the band we
were in for this contest."

The five of us stayed up until 2 in the morning talking about their
background and getting to know them. We told them about our tour in LA and
the parties with the actors. They were cracking up.  Gail said, "We watched
your show on TV. You two are amazing and so are Brandy and Melissa. We will
pack every place we play." Linda said, "I decided. Just tell me when and I'll
drop out of the contest. I can't believe this." Linda played some of her
tunes for all of us again and Jim said, "That song is a hit. I mean big hit.
I love the chorus."

Brandy said, "I suck at writing. I have tons of hook choruses that I wrote,
but the rest of the songs are horrible." We all looked at her and I said,
"The hooks are the hard part. Bring them over here and lets hear them." She
picked up a folk guitar and started playing a few. We all went nuts. I said,
"How many of these do you have?" She said, "About 80 or 90. I just can't
write the rest of the songs." Debbie was laughing and said, "Make that 90 new
tunes to record. We don't need Dane. Let her play with her group for a while
and become well know first. Shit, she can even tour with us if she wants too.
Kate, I'm calling my mom now." I said, "You'll interrupt her and Carrie. Call
her in the morning."

Linda said, "Why call your mother about this?" Brandy said, "She's the boss.
The president of the record company." Gail was laughing and said, "I guess
you can do whatever you want."

Everyone was leaving to go home and I said, "We'll call you tomorrow after we
talk to Margi and Carrie." Debbie and I went to bed and fucked our brains out
with Gizmo until we conked out.

Debbie woke me up in the morning by kissing me softly and then crawled on top
of me in a 69 position. I spread her pussy lips apart with my fingers and
stuck my tongue into her pussy hole, wiggling it. She shivered and then I
licked her from front to back. She was making me feel wonderful and we made
each other cum so many times I lost count. I screamed into her pussy and she
lifted her head and said, "I know you like that one honey. Here is comes
again." She sucked my clit into her mouth and I orgasmed again, and then
again.  She rolled off of me and sat up, putting a cigarette in her lips and
one in mine. She struck a lighter and lit hers and then mine as I sucked in
and took a deep drag. Debbie lay against me and said, "Honey, I love you so
much." I said, "More than bubble bath?" She was laughing as the phone rang
and she answered it. I heard, "Oh hi Linda." "No you weren't dreaming." "No,
we haven't called yet." She smiled at me and said, "Kate and I have been busy
eating each other out for the last hour and we were kind of into it." I was
laughing and pinched her nipple and Debbie said, "That felt good honey. Do it
again." I did it again and she moaned, "We'll call you later. Bye."

I went down on her again and then we took a shower, dressed, ate breakfast,
and called her mom from the speakerphone. Margi said, "Revenue wise for the
company it will probably will be a wash if Dane stays in her own act. Hell,
if you want to do it, than do it. But we need material for Jerry to pull this
off and a CD for him. I said, "That won't be problem." I called Brandy and
said, "Ask Melissa. We got the go ahead, and then call me back before we say
anything to the rest of your band."

She called me back in 5 minutes and said, "She is definitely in." I said,
"Why don't you call the rest of your band and drop the bomb. I'll call Carrie
now and then I'll call Linda back. She called us this morning when we were in
bed. She'll fit right in." We called Carrie and she said, "This has the
possibility of adding to the profits.  You want me to move the start of the
next tour out by 4 weeks?" I said, "Good idea. That will give us enough time
to make sure we pull this off right."

I called Linda and she was screaming and so was Gail. I said, "We'll call you
back a little later. We have to deal with the other members of the bands
today." We called Jerry and told him the plan and he said, "Thank you very
much. We all love you." I said, "We need to work on your material, and we
moved the start of our tour out by an extra 4 weeks. I'll call you in the
next few days about the writing and recording stuff."

Debbie and I lit a cigarette. I took a drag and blew out a plume of smoke and
the phone rang. Debbie pushed the speaker button and we heard, "I dropped the
bomb and they were very pissed off. You feel like listening to my hooks and
see if we can make anything out of them?" I said, "Come on over with Jim and
Melissa. I'll call Linda and Gail too."

We started to work as a band and it was like magic. In 8 hours we turned 16
of Brandy's hooks into great sounding songs. We had so many songs we started
that we couldn't finish and so did Linda. They all needed a good hook chorus.
Brandy was walking on air.

We stopped for dinner and then picked it up again around 7. At midnight we
called it a day and finished another 10 tunes the same way. I said, "Lets
start at 9 tomorrow. I want to work on the 10 of your tunes we liked and try
a few changes to them, and also we have 12 new tunes also. Then we can decide
which are the best ones for us and which ones go to Jerry, and which ones go
to Dane. I think the four of us should split the writing credits on all of
these. You all agree?" We were all smiling and they left to go home.

The next day was even more amazing. We stopped at 3 in the afternoon to take
count of what we had. I said, "54 new songs. Now lets rate them, and divide
them up. We'll need help for this as we are too close to them to be
impartial."

I called Jerry and said, "You feel like coming over with the guys and girls?
We want you to help us rate the next batch of tunes." They were all at our
house in 15 minutes. Ginny and Barb were so apologetic. I said, "Relax. We've
known each other for a long time and this is working out better than before."

They had voting pads and we made it like a game show. Everyone was having a
blast as we played a verse and chorus of each tune and they all voted. We had
mostly 10s and 9.5s and then a few 7s. I said, "For those 7s, lets dissect
them and you tell us what's wrong." They all gave us opinions and we took
notes. I said, "We'll work on those tomorrow. Jerry, we are going to pick the
ones that we think are best for your new sound. We'll call you tomorrow so
you guys can get started rehearsing and record."

They all hugged us and then left. I said, "Now we decided which ones we want
to keep." Brandy and Linda were laughing as we picked out 17 and I said, "Add
this one too. It's a killer slow tune and that will sell. You know, in
concerts we can play any of the older tunes any of us has done, plus any of
the ones Jerry is doing. We own the songs." They were smiling.

We sent out for dinner and worked on learning a few of the tunes. For each
song we wrote down who would play what instruments and it was interesting. I
turns out that Melissa also plays drums really good. We were laughing as she
did a drum solo and Gail said, "No shit. Maybe I can play some pedal steel or
fiddle now too." We ended up making a list of all of the instruments each of
us plays and Jim said, "This is nuts. We all play almost everything. Kate,
let me hear you play the blues harp." I said, "Play a slow blues progression
in A."

He picked up a guitar and played it as I took out a D harp and blew it into a
mic. Debbie said, "Go baby! That sounds great!" I blew about a verse worth
and Jim said, "Damn. Lets add it to the act."

We learned two of the songs complete and they sounded unreal. The music was
incredible and the singing was better than any of the groups sounded before.
We all blended perfectly.

The next day we recorded all of the tunes on our cheap cassette and
copyrighted them. Then we learned 12 more tunes and gave Jerry his tunes. He
listened to us play one from yesterday and said, "My God. I had no idea ya'll
could play like that. Shit, was that good." We played the other 13 tunes and
he was smiling.

The next day we learned the rest of the tunes and then redid the arrangements
on 12 of our combined best tunes. These were killer. We all were dying around
2 in the morning and I said, "You are all welcome to stay. I'm about to pass
out."

We all went up stairs to the bedrooms. Debbie and I undressed, kissed, and
passed out as we cuddled.

The next morning I called Chet and he said, "Margi told me about it. How does
it sound?" I said, "Better than before. Actually, a lot better than before.
We want your advice. You have an hour or so to come over here and listen to a
few things?" Carrie and Margi stopped over with the new contracts as Chet
pulled up. I said, "You all can give us some advice. We changed the
arrangements on some of the old tunes. We were thinking of re-releasing these
also if you like them. Have a seat and we'll give you the whole show."

Margi said, "You finished it already?" Debbie nodded and said, "You tell us
if it's finished." We all put on our instruments for the first tune as Chet
was smiling at us. I started this one with blues harp lick and Chet smiled as
Gail blasted the kick drum and then we all came in. I watched him mouth,
"Wow" as Debbie started the lead vocal. I came in next and then Brandy,
Linda, Melissa, and Gail in harmony. Margi was smiling from ear to ear and so
was Carrie as Jim sang a low part at the end of the chorus.

We played it like a show on stage and they loved it. When we played our
original slow song with the changes we made, Chet was visibly emotional. That
was a first. He said afterward, "Damn was that good. Definitely re-record
that one." When we finished all of the tunes Margi said, "Debbie, you cooked
it perfectly. It's done and it's a double platter. Excellent. What's the
material for Jerry and Dane like?"

We played it on folk guitars and Chet said, "It's all good. I can't believe
it." I said, "When can we get into the studio to record?" He said, "We just
finished a session. You ready to start tomorrow?" Debbie said, "Everyone okay
with that?" Linda said, "We're good with anything you do. You are all musical
geniuses."

We checked on how Jerry was doing and he said, "It's getting there." We told
them we were going into the studio tomorrow and that he should plan on going
in after us, followed by Dane. Carrie said, "I didn't cancel the tour yet.
You still want 4 extra weeks?" I said, "I guess we don't really need it. Make
it one week so we can arrange to have our new name known for ticket sales."
She was nodding her head and said, "I cancelled your American Idol appearance
and they still want you back when they get to the final rounds."

I called Dane with Margi and Carrie here and we all were talking to her about
how it was going. She loved it and I said, "Honey, we have a new CD written
for you when you get back. I think you're going to like it." She was so
excited and then we told her what were doing and she said, "No shit." Carrie
said, "Your touring with them if you want to do it." Dane was screaming,
"Yes!" I said, "Have fun and we'll see you when you get home."


CHAPTER 13 - A GREAT NEW BEGINNING


We spent a week in the studio and finished the double CD and then spent a day
getting photos taken. The pictures were great. Jerry was in the studio and we
did two new music videos also.

We packed up a CD and sent it to our friends in the Detention center and
mailed it with another note about how we were doing. After we got back home
for the post office, we got a phone call from Mary and she said, "Hi, I just
got out and so did Beth." We talked to both of them for over an hour and I
said, "You have no place to live and no job. What to help run the tours?"
Mary said, "We really want to play, but sure. You may have to tell that to
the probation department, as we are required to check in every month." Debbie
said, "We'll make it all official. Give us the name and number of who we need
to talk to."

We called Carrie and I said, "You were looking for someone to hire to work
the concerts as part of the tour. There are two people that are very good
friends of ours and really need a job." We explained the whole thing to her
and she called the probation department and worked it all out. I wired them
each some money and an e-ticket to fly down.

Debbie and I went to the airport to pick them up and we hugged and cried
together for almost 10 minutes. We drove them to our place and they were in
shock. Debbie said, "We kind of struck it very rich." We got them situated in
a bedroom and then Carrie came over and met them and told them what they
would doing and they loved it. Carrie said, "They are going to be my shadow
until you guys leave on tour." That night, Debbie and I slept with them and
it was one of the most passionate nights we ever had. Then we spent an hour
laughing about some of the things we did when we were all cellmates.

Dane got home and we had her and her band over to the house and played the
new tunes for them. They wanted to learn all of them now and I said, "Get
some rest. We'll start tomorrow." The next day we spent from 8 in the morning
until midnight teaching them all of the new tunes. They spent two days
rehearsing them and working the arrangements and then went into the studio to
record the CD. Chet had us listen to the way they changed the tunes and we
loved it. He said, "Very talented. You did real good on finding her."

Margi issued a press release about our new group that she called a Mega
country group. She also announced Jerry's new band in the same press release.
She also released our new CD, Jerry's, and Dane's. We did three TV shows
about the new group and played a few tunes on live TV. It was amazing at how
good it sounded. On a talk show all of our bands were on the panel and it was
riot. We told stories for 20 minutes about being on tour and then we talked
about how Jerry wanted to be on his own, us writing his material, and then
how we put our band together. We played one more tune and this time we did
one of our new slow songs. We had everyone in the studio audience emotional.
The host was chocked up and said, "Great song."

The day before our tour started, Margi said, "Your new CD just broke every
record in sales this first week, plus the old ones and selling like crazy
again too. This was definitely the right thing to do. Jerry's CD is doing
okay too. Dane's is selling like hot cakes. Not as much as yours, but it's up
there."

Mary and Beth were more family now than ever. We spent a night with them in
the music room at home and listened to all of the songs they wrote. I said,
"They're pretty good. When we get back from the tour, we'll help you make
them great and teach you how we do it."

The tour started with the Nashville based area again and expanded to include
a few in the North as well. Carrie with our buddies Mary and Beth out did
themselves on this one. Dane was scheduled to play with us the first week,
then Jerry with us week two as Dane played with a new group. On the third
week Dane was back again until the end, as Jerry was with two different new
bands. This tour was 5 weeks, and we also had to fly one segment as the
equipment was trucked overnight.

We played different places this time, and only the largest venues in each
city. Carrie raised the ticket price again and they were sold out in two
hours from being announced. She was pissed and yelled, "Fuck! We should have
charged more!" I smiled and said, "Why be pissed off? We already made our
money. Would you rather be worried about having empty seats?" Carrie said,
"Your right. The price stays where it is now."

Our first concert in the new band was so much fun we didn't want it to end.
We loved how the band sounded and the audience was about as routy as it gets.
The singing was flawless and so was the playing. We also added a few funny
skits to lighten it up a little. Jim, who is pretending to be an undercover
cop, arrests Debbie and me for acting like hookers. The crowd went nuts the
first time we did it. Then we sang one of our new tunes "Doing time with you"
as Linda unlocks our handcuffs.

We did a second skit as part of our new slow song and this one made us cry as
we acted it out. You could hear a pin drop in the audience as we played that
tune. It was spooky. The second after we finished it, everyone in the
audience gave us a standing ovation for over 5 minutes. We were in shock. We
changed instruments again and this time Debbie started the song with some
outrageous guitar licks. The crowd went completely nuts screaming her name
and I counted off the intro and we all came in playing.

The whole show was flawless. We played for 90 minutes and the audience wanted
us to keep going but we were beat. I said, "Good night everyone. It's been
fun playing for you. Thanks so much for coming to see us."

We took a limo home and Mary and Beth were busy talking to Carrie and told us
they'd see us later.  The next morning we got up and Carrie was with Mary and
Beth having breakfast in the kitchen. Carrie said, "These two may have
increased the merchandising sales by a shit load. Apparently there is such a
long line at each venue, people get annoyed and don't buy anything. They
worked out a new floor plan, booth space, and we are going to try it for
tonight's show. We hired 25 more temps for the event and we're guessing it
will make us at least 50 grand more per show, not including the CD sales at
the event." Debbie smiled and said, "We want to build you two into the
profits of this change." Carrie said, "Already done."

We sat with them and had some breakfast. Mary and Beth were raving about our
show last night as Mary said, "It didn't seem like you on the stage. You both
look so different, like you've being doing this all your life." Carrie said,
"They put on the best live show I have ever seen."

We finished our breakfast and had some coffee and then we all lit cigarettes.
I took a drag of my cigarette and blew out the smoke into the air as we
started talking about how screwed up our lives were and how they changed.
Mary said, "I was living in a soap opera, and you helped pull me through it.
You two were like my shrinks for a while and it really helped. Now I owe it
all to you." Debbie smiled and said, "Two great song names." She wrote them
on a note pad, "I live in a soap opera" and "I owe it all too you." Beth
said, "Is this how they all start?" I said, "Most of the time. Keep talking.
We'll get ideas for our next CD." They were smiling at us and Carrie was
rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

That evening we went to the same arena for the show and saw all of the
changes that Mary and Beth had made. There were merchandising stands
everywhere and people wearing our hats and shirts. Beth walked backstage
about 5 minutes before the show started and said, "It worked. So far we think
they sold over 4,000 copies of you new CD and God only knows how many shirts,
hats, key chains and all of the other crap." I said, "Great idea." She smiled
and said, "play good" and then walked back out to the stadium floor.

 . . . . . . . . . . . .

The tour went great. Mary and Beth added over 100 grand to the profits to
each show by introducing food vendors, Kiosks, and a whole bunch of vendors
that didn't compete with our merchandised products. We called it the flea
market. We allowed fans to enter the arenas up to 3 hours early to eat and
shop and it was becoming a big thing now, kind of like football game
tailgating. Carrie was laughing about what a difference Beth and Mary have
made.

Ginny called us and said, "Jerry is playing with you and Dane in the New York
show just before Christmas. All of the kids we went to high school with want
to come see us and the show. How about we throw a party at the hotel after
the gig? It is the last one before we fly back." We thought it was a great
idea. I had Carrie send them 100 tickets with backstage passes and we had the
arena add two more front rows of seating as special reserved seats. Mary
booked us one outrageous suite for the party, which was the whole top floor
of the hotel. I said, "We're going to end up back in jail." They were all
laughing and nodding their heads.

All of the bands took two days and worked on some Christmas songs and skits
for our last show. Debbie and I wrote a new tune for Christmas called "All I
ever wanted was you" and this one I sang lead. I said to Debbie, "Its time to
come out of the closet. I'm going to sing it to you on stage." She gave me a
big wet kiss and said, "We were never in the closet." Everyone was laughing
at us.

We had two days off before the last show in New York as it was a big one, and
was televised mostly on networks that carried country music. At the last
minute CBS picked it up also and we were all surprised. Mary and Beth got to
see what big time events were like now and they doubled the flea market for
this one. Carrie was laughing about it over the phone when they told her
their plans.

We did the full day rehearsal thing again and sound levels. We had a director
that was a little more reasonable this time until he saw me sing that song to
Debbie. He went berserk and told me we couldn't act out the song on the air,
as children would be watching it. I said, "It's not like I coped a feel or
touched her pussy. It's only singing. If we don't do the song they way we
rehearsed it, we don't play. Period!" Everyone looked at me like I was nuts
and I stood my ground. Then I said, "Check the contract we have with your
network. It says that you can not change our show in any way."

We all waited as he had someone check the contract and then we got the green
light to keep going. Brandy called me a psychopath and I just said, "Lets do
the tune again, except this time I want to kiss Debbie at the end of it."
Everyone was laughing and we did it again. We ended the song and I said into
the mic, "All I ever wanted was you" and then I really gave her a wet kiss.
The director closed his eyes and shook his head, pissed as hell. Jerry almost
wet his pants and I think Jim got a hardon.

We finished our show for timing on TV and then everyone went out for dinner
with us to the hotel. We were so routy. After about 10 pitchers of beer,
Jerry was telling all of us about his new tour experiences and we laughed our
ass off. The guys were calling him the panty king as women threw their
panties at him on stage. Ginny said, "One of them had a hotel key in it and
it hit him in the head." We all were cracking up as she went into details of
how he almost fell over. Barb put her arms around Jerry and said, "Too bad we
lost the key on the stage. She was so hot looking." Jerry was blushing.

We went upstairs to get a good night's sleep, as we knew we would be up all
night tomorrow. Debbie and I undressed in our room and lay in bed having a
cigarette and talking about how we didn't want this tour to end yet. I said,
"What do you want for Christmas?" She started singing the song I sang to her
on stage and we cracked up. I said, "Come on. Seriously." She gave me a wet
kiss and then said, "We have everything we ever wanted together. Lets buy
some toys together. We have so much money now, we'd have trouble spending it
in one lifetime." I took a drag of my cigarette and said, "What kind of
toys." Debbie had a whole list and I was giggling as she kissed me after each
one. I said, "The day we get home, we'll go shopping."

We finished our smokes and then we really go into it with each other. I
licked and sucked her nipples as I rubbed her clit, and Debbie massaged my
clit. We both orgasmed and then caressed each other so softly. Debbie kissed
me again and I was on fire. I took out Gizmo and we went wild on each other
for over two hours. I was breathing heavy into her ear and moaning, "I want
to ate your cum honey. I love to swallow your juices." I was making Debbie
hotter than ever and she took out Gizmo and lay on top of me in a 69
position.

We ate each other for a while and then she lay next to me again on the bed
and we kissed. I moved up and sat against the headboard as I lit a cigarette
and Debbie was now lying with her head next to my pussy. I took a drag of the
cigarette and she put two fingers into my soaking wet slit and wiggled them
around. I blew out the smoke and said, "Put in your whole hand honey. That
feels good." Debbie bent her thumb into her palm and pushed her hand into my
pussy. She was fist fucking me and I loved how it felt. I moaned and she
reached up and took a drag of my cigarette and then gave it back to me and I
took a drag as I had my eyes half closed. Debbie licked my clit and stopped
moving her hand. She opened her fingers up inside of me and wiggled them
around. I had one mother of an orgasm.

I took a drag of my cigarette and Debbie took it from me and wiggled her
fingers again. I blasted off again. She said, "I hit something." She did to
me six times and I was almost comatose. I said, "Move one finger at a time so
I know what's doing it." She told me which finger she was moving and then did
it. When she said first finger, I orgasmed like Niagara Falls.

Debbie pulled out her hand and then lay between my legs and ate me for about
10 minutes, swallowing my pussy cum. I was on fire again.  She sat up next to
me and kissed me and pushed it into my mouth. It was so thick it was almost
like a guys cum other than it tasted sweet. We broke the kiss and there was a
strand stretching between our lips and Debbie smiled as she said, "You came
like a guy. Do me that way too."

We changed positions and she lay against the headboard. I worked my hand into
her pussy and was fist fucking her for a while. I stopped and opened up my
fingers wiggling them around and she went totally nuts. I did it six times as
she was bucking into my hand.  Then I just moved the one finger and she
started again. Debbie looked at me almost glazed over and said, "Do that
again. Please." I moved the one finger and rubbed it against her insides and
she went wild. I kept rubbing as she bucked on my hand and then almost
screamed, "Oh my God! Oh My God! OOOOOHHHHHHH! OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH! YES! YES!
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!" I stopped and she looked at me half out of it. I
pulled out my hand and lay between her legs and ate a thick glob of cum and
then more of it as I sucked it out of her pussy. I loved doing this and she
came again into my mouth before I stopped. It was like normal again and I sat
up and kissed her with a thick mouthful. Debbie was making "mmmmmm" sounds as
I swallowed. We lay on the pillow kissing and feel asleep.

In the morning, Debbie woke me up and said, "That was so wild. Lets do it to
each other at the same time." We got into a 69 position on our sides and then
moved so our hands could fit into each other. We found each other's spot in
about 20 seconds and then we both went wild. In about 10 minutes we were on
fire. After a half hour we both felt faint and had to stop. We ate each other
out and I swallowed for almost 10 minutes and loved every second of it.

We sat up and kissed and then Debbie put two unlit cigarettes in our lips and
said, "Vanilla pudding" as she stuck the lighter and held it for me. I smiled
as I blew out the smoke and said, "This tastes better." She smiled too and
then sucked in on her cigarette.

We got up and did our morning routine and went into the large lounge
connecting the rooms on this floor. Brandy and Jim were up and she said, "We
ordered breakfast for everyone. It should be here in a few. That must have
been one hell of an orgasm. We heard you out here." I said, "We found our
spots. You have no idea what it feels like until you find it. Debbie's cum
was as thick as a guys. So was mine." Brandy was smiling as Jim said, "I'm
getting hard again. Oh this sucks." The three of us were busting his chops
and started to kiss. I was getting really wet when breakfast showed up.

Everyone was coming out into the lounge and we had breakfast buffet style.
All of us decided to take the big apple tour bus which we never did before
and had fun being total idiots seeing New York as a tourist. We ditched the
tour at Rockefeller Center and watched people ice-skating by the huge
Christmas tree. This was so romantic. Debbie and I had on our leather
jackets, gloves, and western hats and we definitely looked like tourists. A
few people recognized all of us and we were swarmed for autographs after the
first few started.

We made our way to a restaurant and we all went into to have a quick dinner
and then we took taxis to the arena. The place was mobbed outside and we had
trouble getting to the stage entrance. A few police officers helped us get
through the crowd and we thanked them. The director was out of his mind
thinking we weren't going to show up and we were all laughing about it. I
said, "Relax. We have 30 minutes still." All of our high school friends were
backstage and Barb, Ginny and I went wild hugging people. We invited them
into the dressing room, as we had to get ready. They all watched us do our
hair and put on makeup as a few of the guys were starring at us. I said, "We
haven't changed much and we're still lunatics. Debbie is the love of my life
and tonight we break with tradition and get a little risqu^Â on stage." Debbie
gave me a big wet kiss and everyone clapped. I said, "You all checked into
the hotel?" Barb said, "They're checked in."

The director came back to talk to us and said, "All those sitting in the
audience need to leave now." We waved to them and he gave us the timings of
when to go on stage. He said, "Jerry get ready. You guys are on first and I
need you on stage in 3 minutes, ready to play in 5." He walked out and was
talking to the emcee on a walkie-talkie. Debbie said, "They make it seem so
hard. This is the easy part." Jerry said, "We'll see you later" as they all
walked to the entrance to the arena floor and the stage. Debbie said, "Lets
go check it out."

We walked to the entrance and stood where the audience couldn't see us as we
watched Jerry get ready in the dimly lit area. The lights in the audience
went down and the spotlight went on the emcee as the camera red lights went
on. We listened to him telling a Christmas story about our bands and it was
funny as hell. I whispered to Debbie, "Too bad we don't have elf outfits to
wear." She was getting into the emcee's story and then he screamed, "And
Santa left Jerry Pride on our stage!" Frank clicked it off and they started
the show. We watched for a few minutes and before the first song ended, Jerry
had some woman's panties thrown at him. He looked at us and smiled as we
waved. Debbie said, "He is very happy. This was a great move for all of us."


We went back to sit with Dane and Brandy and the others as we clowned around.
Before we knew it, it was time for Dane to go on. She got up and I said,
"Don't laugh at the Santa story." We heard the crowd cheering and then Jerry
and his guys came back to sit with us. I said, "How was the crowd?" Barb
said, "Fourteen panties. That's how we keep track. That's real good." We were
cracking up as Jerry blushed.

We heard the crowd cheering again and Dane playing, and then we were jerking
around again. Jerry was telling us about some of our friends in the first row
and said, "Don't look at them or you'll crack up laughing on stage. They all
were doing stupid things. Rita did show me her tits though." Barb was smiling
and said, "She was always nuts."

We got the nod for our portion of the show and we went to the entrance as
Dane finished. The crowd loved her and was standing and cheering as she bowed
again. She walked off as we walked on the stage and she said, "Great crowd.
Your friends are totally nuts."

We got ready as a commercial was playing and then the emcee was telling his
Christmas story again. We started to laugh at part of it and then got our
composure as he announced us. We started with a country rocker that was
number 2 in the charts today and we had everyone up standing as we played it.

We did our skit for being arrested and the cameraman was laughing and then
Linda had trouble getting our cuffs off and we sang half the song handcuffed.
It was a piss. When we ended the song Brandy said to the audience, "That was
our bondage number for the evening." We all lost it laughing and so did the
audience. Even the director was laughing.

We all goofed on our friends in the first two rows. We had twp of the girls
on stage with us as we did one of the skits about being a bad girl in school.
Brandy started singing, "I'm in trouble again" and then everyone stood and
cheered. We had a blast. We did our slow songs with the skits and we could
hear the air conditioning system fans blowing the heat it was so quite
between notes as we sang. There wasn't a dry eye anywhere, as usual. We went
right into one of our fast tunes as the standing ovation was still going on.
We actually knew what the audience was going to do after each song and used
it to get into the next tune.

We did our new skit about Christmas as I put on a Santa hat and everyone was
laughing. I sang the song to Debbie and people were standing and cheering as
we played. It really surprised us. When the song ended, people were
screaming, "Kiss her! Kiss her!" I said, "All I want for Christmas is you
honey" and I gave her a big wet kiss. The crowd went wild cheering and we
smiled and waved as we went into the next tune where I play a blues harp to
start it.

We played great and had fun. Our friends were totally psycho and we stared to
laugh once when Rita showed us her tits and then threw her panties at us.
Debbie held them up and walked around the stage as the audience was cheering
and the cameraman was laughing and following her.

We were going to the last song as the director held up 4 fingers. I said into
the mic, "We are going to do one more tune tonight. We wanted to dedicate
this song to the many young boys and girls that have been troubled with abuse
and some have gotten lost in the system. We have set up a special trust fund
as our Christmas present, to help some of these kids. I know a couple of
million dollars won't go that far to stop this problem, but maybe it will
help just a few children and that's all we really wanted for Christmas."
Everyone stood up clapping and we played our current number one hit.

Brandy sang the first part of this tune and she was glowing. Mary and Beth
were by the side of the stage and we waved them out and they hugged us as we
played. We had them sing the chorus with us as they had tears on their faces.
The audience never sat down and was cheering the whole time and clapping.
When we ended the song, the noise was deafening. We were all smiling as we
thanked everyone and waved. The red lights went out and we all walked to the
front of the stage and waved and then touched people's hands. One was Rita
and we were laughing. She flashed us again and I lost it.

We waved as we walked off the stage and Beth said, "That was so nice." I
said, "We wanted to do it. If it helps just one kid who is in a bad
situation, it was worth it." They both hugged us and Beth said, "You played
great tonight." Brandy put her arms over our shoulders and said, "I think we
hit the big time kids. Have you ever seen a crowd react like this?"

We were all smiling as we walked to the dressing area lounge and lit
cigarettes as our friends came backstage. Jerry and Dane were busting their
chops and we were cracking up about it. I said, "Rita, you want your panties
back?" She said, "No. They weren't mine. Someone threw them at Jerry and they
landed on me." We were howling and Barb yelled, "A Fifteen panty night!
Excellent!"

I said, "We will be back at the hotel for the party as soon as we finish
signing autographs. You are all welcome to stay with us or meet us back
there." Rita came over to me and said, "Kate, you were like a God up there. I
couldn't believe it was really you. If I wore panties, I would have given
then to you." She whispered into my ear, "You made me so wet." Debbie was
laughing and then gave we a wet kiss again. Rita said, "Oh my god. I'm
flooding my jeans." We both kissed her too and I said, "We'll see you later."

All of us got ready in our hats and coats and went out the stage door to be
mobbed. The police held people back against a police barricade, as we signed
autographs. Our limos were waiting and we stayed and signed until we got
cold. A woman said to us, "Was that kiss real?" I said, "Yup." Debbie gave me
a sloppy kiss and the crowd was cheering. She winked at us and we smiled as
we walked to the limo.


CHAPTER 14 - IDOLS TURN COUNTRY


The party at the hotel was wild beyond belief. Besides being total smashed,
there were piles of naked people everywhere. Debbie and I had sex with Rita,
and we found her spot. She literally passed out and we had to wake her up.
Then we took turns eating her out.

I introduced Debbie to three my old boyfriends that I used to get my rocks
off regularly. That's how I introduced them and they all said, "She was the
worst out of all of us." Debbie said, "Well then get naked and fuck the shit
out of us." We wore them out after we fucked them twice and then sucked them
off. Debbie said, "Whimps. No wonder you needed more than these three." We
were laughing and the guys were hysterical.

Brandy and Jim cornered us and we were so into the two of them. She said to
us, "When you two kissed on stage I melted inside." We went into our bedroom
with them and we really made love to them. Bandy held us as Jim fucked me and
then Debbie, alternating between us and then we got Brandy off by finding her
spot. She screamed as she had her first orgasm that way. Jim said, "How do I
do that to her?" We showed him and they went into their own room as we went
back out to the party.

Someone announced it was snowing and we all looked out the windows. Debbie
and I were still naked and she made love to me on the couch as we watched it
snow. We were so into each other, we didn't notice anything. We got up to go
into our room and everyone hugged us and thanked us. I said, "We'll see you
at breakfast. It's already ordered for up here in the lounge."

We made love for two hours in bed and I ate what had to be a pint of Debbie's
thick pussy cum. God, did we love doing that to each other. We shared a
cigarette and then feel sound asleep with or faces touching. It felt so nice
and warm.

Brandy woke us up in the morning and said, "Lets eat and get moving. They may
close the airport." We looked outside and it was totally white and gorgeous.
We did our morning routine in a hurry and joined everyone for breakfast. Two
of the guys were drinking beer and we sang our beer song as we made our
plates. They all were cheering for us. When we ate one of our friends made a
little speech to thank us and it was very flattering. I stood up and said,
"You all stood by me when I had the problem that took my parent's lives. I
will never forget that, and you are always welcome in our home." Ginny and
Barb lost it crying again and were hugging me. I said, "It's water under the
bridge now and I'm finally over it. You need to forget about it too."

We hugged everyone and thanked each person for coming and then we had a
bellhop take our luggage to the limo.

The ride to the airport took forever in the snow and then we sat on the
runway for three hours while they de-iced the plane twice. Debbie said,
"Maybe we should have stayed an extra night." Brandy looked at us and said,
"I was thinking the same thing."

We finally took off and were all praying the plane would make it. Debbie
said, "If I had wings, I wouldn't fly in this." She smiled and said, "Cool
line for a song." We were getting trashed on the plane, as the ride was rough
and bouncing. The pilot made an announcement, "Believe it or not, Nashville
airport is snowed in and closed. We're going to be landing in Memphis. There
will be buses to take you to Nashville after we unload."

We all looked at each other and Debbie said, "Buses? Oh, yuck." It wasn't
that bad as the airlines gave us so much booze we couldn't have cared less
about anything. The trip took three hours in the snow and our limos were
waiting for us by the airport pickup. We ended up getting home at 8 at night
and were laughing about it.

Beth made us all dinner as the phone rang. I answered it on speaker and Margi
said, "We were getting worried." I said, "We were too. We should have stayed
another night." She said, "New York is expecting over 2 feet of snow. That
would have been worse. Your concert was terrific and the network called to
tell us they had more viewers than the Superbowl game. Your kiss was on every
news program today. I can't believe what a fuss everyone is making about it."
Debbie said, "Hi mom. We did that because the director told us we weren't
allowed to." She was laughing and we could hear Carrie in the background
laughing. Carrie said, "I got the numbers from this tour. You are going to
shit. Even as a band partner, you made more this time." I said, "Everyone
will love to hear that." She told me the number and we were cracking up and I
said, "I'll tell our band mates."

We called Brandy first and I said, "We missed you. We just had to call and
say hello." She said, "What disaster happened now?" I said, "Only and minor
one. Jim and you will have to settle for 1.8 million each from this tour."
She was screaming and we were laughing. I said, "You want to call everyone
else to give them the bad news?" She said, "Oh, I would love to."

Everyone called us afterward and wanted to know if Brandy was still drunk.
Each time Debbie said, "It would have been hirer but they had to play us
double." Melissa actually believed us and we had her going for about 10
minutes until we told her that on the next tour we get four times everyone
else and that they owed us money if it went negative. She died laughing when
she realized it was a joke.

It stayed cold through Christmas and then the snow was gone as fast as it
came.  Margi, Carrie, Beth, and Mary celebrated Christmas with us and it was
really nice. Debbie and I sang our song to each other kneeling by the tree
and it was very romantic. Margi told us we were retarded. Carrie almost wet
her pants laughing after that wise crack.

All of us exchanged gifts and it was so hard buying for Margi and Carrie. We
got them some really neat stuff including a paid vacation at a spa resort.
They gave us the same thing and we all died laughing. We bought Mary and Beth
each a car that they wanted. They almost shit when we had them delivered to
the house and we handed them the keys to a new Viper and a Mercedes 560. I
said, "It's only money and you both needed a car."

Debbie and I really did buy a few toys after Christmas; 2 guitars, 2 new
keyboards, a Hummer, a Lamborghini, and a whole bunch of sex toys we ordered
through the internet. They arrived the day after Christmas and we gave Beth
and Mary the ones we ordered for them. They were blushing and I said, "Try
the toys out. That's what we're going to do."

The four of us tried out the sex toys in the den. Debbie and I found a new
best friend. It was Gizmo's bigger brother and we named him Spike. Beth was
cracking up as Debbie named all of our toys. This one hit our spot by itself
as we fucked our pussies together on it. We had one screaming orgasm after
the other. We showed Mary and Beth about their spot and they became addicted
to it just like us.

After all of us were totally exhausted, we sat in the den and had a
cigarette. I was running my hand over Debbie's face and through her hair
softly. She said, "Honey, that feels so nice. Lets help Mary and Beth with
their songs. We promised we would before we left on tour." Mary heard us and
ran to get her material and guitar. We were grinning as I said, "They love
music just like we do."

We decided to teach them how we do it, and not just do it for them. Debbie
said, "Everyone of our songs is written with one of four different formulas."
We showed them how it worked and played a bunch of songs to demonstrate it.
They understood it and then we showed them how to fix their songs. I said,
"This isn't a substitute for good music, a song that is well written and
tells a story, or a catchy hook line. It just helps make a song structured
and a good song be remembered."

We fixed two of their songs for them and they sounded fantastic when we
finished. Then we watched as they did the rest. I said, "You want to record
them and become famous, or would you rather let someone else record them and
just collect some of the money?" Mary said, "We could never play like you do
on stage. We decided a while ago to just be writers."

I said, "How would you like Dane or Jerry to record them or we could give
them to any of the acts Margi has signed. How about we let her and Chet hear
them?" I called Margi and told her about Mary and Beth's songs and she said,
"Come on into the office. No one is here over the holidays and we can listen
to them."

We went in their new Benz to the office and then went to Margi's office. She
said, "No one is here. It's scary. You feel like hitting the Spa for three
days starting tomorrow?" I said, "Absolutely." We went to the studio and
Margi invited two bands that were here to listen also. She introduced us to
them and they all knew us. I said, "Mary and Beth are good friends of ours
and they wrote some pretty cool new tunes. Let us know if you like them and
if you would like to record any of them."

Mary announced the name of each tune and then she played it on a folk guitar
as they sang. They loved every song and were arguing over who should record
it. Margi was smiling at us and said, "Chet will decide." He picked the ones
that went best with each group and Beth and Mary had 32 songs placed and a
bunch left over, as they were good tunes, but didn't fit these acts. Chet
said, "These will all be recorded in the next 6 weeks. Make sure you
copyright them before we start the sessions." Chet gave Mary and Beth the
songwriter's contract and they signed it with a rider for each tune. Margi
said, "How much of that did you do?" I said, "They wrote all of them. We
showed them how fix them, but it's all their work." Margi said, "Good. We can
keep them busy for life. These songs are excellent." Mary heard us and smiled
as she was talking to Chet.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We goofed around for the next five weeks and wrote a ton of new material to
cover our next CD, Dane's and Jerry's. Then we toured the south again for 5
weeks. The money gets better every tour. We were back home again for two
weeks and then it was off on the road again with a different trip around the
West Coast.  We asked Carrie to hold off on our next tour so we could all
record a new CD.

When we finished our tour in LA, Carrie said, "It's American Idol time if you
want to do it. You're already in LA." We decided to do it and met with the
show's producer and the judges. They showed us videos of the contests that
were still remaining and we liked two of them. Paula said, "They need
guidance to get to the next level. We thought that having them sing some of
your songs would be fun. They can pick any tune you two have written." I
said, "The show is in four days. Will they have time?" Simon said, "Now we
see who the real artists are."

They introduce us to the contestants and they were all star struck. Debbie
said, "Relax. We're here to help." Simon said, "Don't believe a word of it."
The producer explained the rules and all six of them panicked. We were trying
not to laugh and they asked us a ton of questions. One of the women
contestants said, "I already know which song I'm doing. I love your songs and
I've seen you play four times." I said, "We saw your tapes and you have a
great voice. Which song did you pick?" She told us and I said, "Don't do that
one. Pick one that will show off your amazing voice." I wrote down three
tunes and she said, "Those are hard to sing." I said, "If you want to win,
pick one and learn it. We'll help you."

We helped all of them learn a song. Two of the contestants were horrible and
we tried so hard not to laugh. The one woman decided to do one of our slow
songs and we heard her practicing it. She was damn good. The other one we
liked was doing another slow song and she was also terrific. One of the guys
surprised us and Simon said, "You never know until the performance." We left
for the next two days to have fun in LA and then came back the day of the
performances. Everyone in the bands and at home told us they were going to
watch the show and were busting our chops about it.

We went to the theater in Hollywood and met the contestants again and then
they were shocked to find out we were going to be one of the judges. I said,
"Our votes don't count. It's what your fans like when they call in and vote
for you."

When the show started, the host made a big deal about us being on and then
explained to the audience how they were all doing our material. The studio
audience was clapping and cheering and Simon said to me, "You bring your own
fans with you?" I said, "They're left over from our last concert three days
ago still waiting for our autographs." He was trying not to laugh and said,
"Very quick."

The host introduced the first singer and it was one that we liked. We sat and
listened to her and she was fantastic. Debbie and I stood up during the
performance as she hit the high note flawlessly. She skipped to the ending as
they only had 2 minutes for a song and we clapped. We sat down and Brian, the
host, said to us, "Kate and Debbie. What did you think of Jazz's
performance?" We both smiled and I said, "Excellent. She sang the song like
we do. She had emotion in it and great vocal control in the high registers."
The audience was clapping and screaming her name and she thanked us. Randy
trashed her and we looked at him like, "What the fuck?" as the audience was
booing him. Paula said it was okay and Simon said, "I didn't like it." Debbie
said softly, "You have to be kidding."

The next person was horrible to the point we almost started to laugh. He made
it into a lounge song. When were asked what we thought Debbie said, "Ugly. We
hated everything about it. You ruined a good song." The audience was laughing
and Simon said to us, "You're worse than I am." Randy thought is was okay,
Paula liked it and Simon said, "It was mediocre, not your best performance."

I looked at Debbie and said softly, "What the fuck?" They were completely
opposite of our opinions on every person. On the last one, the woman was
brilliant. She made us get emotional in the song and we stood and clapped.
Debbie said, "Brilliant performance. We both loved it and if you don't win
this, we definitely want to talk to you." Randy said it was just okay. Paula
thought it was decent and Simon said, "Karaoke singer."

I said, "Wait a minute! You have two extremely talented singers in this show
and you trashed both of them. The last one was perfect. Better than anyone we
have ever heard do our tunes. We would be honored to have her play and sing
in our act. She's star quality all the way. She has the look, the stage
presence, and definitely the voice. How can you say that's karaoke? The other
singers will sell no records and make no money." The audience was loving it
and they were cheering me on as Debbie was laughing. Simon said, "Everyone
has their own opinion of what is good." The host said, "Simon, everyone
agrees with Kate on this one." The audience was cheering again and we were
smiling. So was the contestant.

After the show we went to talk to both of the ones we liked and I said, "You
were both excellent and don't let the shit heads tell you otherwise." They
thanked us again and I said, "If you get voted off, call us. Even if you make
it to the end and loose, call us. You've seen our act right?" They both
nodded and I said, "Linda was on Nashville Star and we convinced her to quite
and play with us the past six months. She's made over 6 million so far and
that's without writers royalties. I think she is better off than by getting a
contract where the record company is just fulfilling their obligation to the
contest. What instruments do you play?" They both play almost everything and
I said, "Figures. How about writing?" They both write. The producer was
chasing us out and I said, "Care to join us for a cup of coffee?"

We walked to a coffee shop and I lit a cigarette and so did Debbie. They both
said, "Can we bum one?" We all lit up as we had some coffee and I said, "Ever
think of playing together in an act? The two of you onstage at the same time
would be a dynamite start to a big money band." They were smiling and Jazz
said, "You really think that they were all wrong on their comments?" I said,
"Yup. I'll play a tape of you on the show to Chet Dumont who is our friend
and a great producer. He'll tell us the truth. If we were wrong we'll call
you and let you know. Actually, we'll call either way." Here is our number
incase you don't win. Debbie gave it to them and they were both laughing
about it. I said, "What?" Darla said, "Everyone tells us what you just told
us, except the judges. They think we suck."

We were laughing with them and I said, "That should tell you something right
there. Use your common sense. You two are both great singers." They walked us
back to our hotel and I said, "Call us and let us know what happens. If we
don't answer on the home line call the cell phones. We'll be in the studio
for a week or so when we get back."

The next day we flew home and everyone was laughing about our first and most
likely only appearance on American Idol. Carrie said, "You told the truth.
Those idiots don't get it. Margi and I thought the two of them together would
make a great act." Debbie smiled and said, "We already talked to them about
it."

Margi and Carrie came over to the house and we watched American Idol to see
who they cut. The best two were in the bottom two and one was sent home. We
all laughed and Margi said, "I'll call her. Help me build a new band with her
and the other one. What idiots."

Margi didn't have to call her. She called us an hour after the show ended. We
put her on speaker and I introduced everyone. I said, "Darla, Margi is the
President of the record company." Margi said, "How would you like to work for
us as a performing artist and we'll put together one kick ass band for you.
Kate and Debbie have agreed to write the material if you need it." She was
screaming on the phone and I said, "We need to see the contract you signed
for the show first. You may have to fulfill your obligations with it first,
or we could buy it out. We bought Linda's contract out for next to nothing."
She said, "I can fax it to you when I get home. I live in Memphis Tennessee."
I said, "We're in Nashville. Feel like taking a drive when you get back?" She
said, "I would love too." We gave her directions and Margi was smiling.

She drove over to our house the next day and came for dinner. We had Brandy,
Jim, Margi, and Carrie join us along with Mary and Beth. Everyone told her
how much we liked her voice and then we ate dinner and talked. After dinner
we had her in the studio and listened to her play some instruments and her
original songs. She was very talented but the songs were weak. We told her
the truth and Brandy said, "We can help."

Margi had the attorney review the contract and then she told Darla, "Lets see
if Jazz gets thrown off next week. We could probably make a deal on buying
out both contracts. We're going to sign you, so don't worry about it. You
need any advances?" She said, "No, I'm good for a while."

I said, "You feel like staying here with us for a while? We'll show you the
ropes of recording, and let you watch us do our next CD. If Jazz, gets kicked
off, we'll start to put together your act. Maybe we can put together part of
the band now. Brandy, any of your x-band members still available?" She said,
"Let me make some calls. They're all good musicians." Bandy made the calls
and we had a drummer, pedal steel, and keyboard player ready to go whenever
we called. Darla said, "That was easy." I said, "As soon as Brandy said we
were doing the material and arrangements, and it was a signed act, we could
get almost anyone."

Darla went with us to the studio to do our new CD first before the bands
recorded Mary and Beth's tunes. She was taking it all in and had a blast. We
finished the mastering session with Chet and he said, "This one kicks ass big
time." Darla said, "I can't believe how easy you made all of this look." I
said, "It is easy and you'll be the same way with it."

All of us watched the show next week and we thought Jazz was fantastic and
Simon blasted her. The next night she was kicked off and we called her at her
hotel. She said, "I was just about to call you. You saw it?" Darla was on the
phone talking to her for about an hour about the band and the deal, and we
heard Jazz scream at least twice as Darla laughed. Darla put it on speaker
and I said, "Where do you live?" We talked for a while and she was from a
small town outside of Atlanta, Georgia. We told her to go spend a few days at
home and then plan on staying here with us in Nashville. She was so excited
as Debbie got the information to get her e-tickets for the flight.

I said, "We need to do some song writing. Mary, play your tunes for Darla
before we start. I think a few of those may fit her style." Beth got the
material and Mary got a guitar and joined us in the den. We listened to her
tunes again and we all liked 4 of them for the act. Mary and Beth were
smiling and I said, "That's 36 tunes placed this week. I think you made it as
writers now."

Brandy, Debbie, and I sat down and started the writing process using a few
hooks she had still that we loved. We also used Debbie's list of that could
be good songs from her list of phases she always jots down. The first tune we
wrote was called, "If I had wings" and the next one was called, "You made it
so easy." Brandy was cracking up at some of the lines, which were ones we
said to each other all the time. Then we wrote, "My life is a soap opera" and
this one was fast and kind of cute. Darla said, "How in the fuck can you just
turn these out like that?" Debbie said, "We have no clue. If you figure it
out, let us know." Darla was cracking up watching us work.

We finished up around midnight writing a slow tearjerker about a child that
is abused by his mother and all she wants is to be loved. Mary and Beth were
crying for a long time when we played it. So was I. Darla was too and said,
"I don't know if I could even sing it all the way through." I said, "That
means it's a hit. Trust me on that one."

We spent the next two days finishing their material and wrote four extra ones
incase a few of these didn't work out. Mary and Beth also wrote three more
tunes which were good also.

Jazz showed up at our doorstep the next day and we had a lunch at our place
for everyone to met her. Chet want to hear them both sing and play
instruments and was smiling at us like he did about each person we brought to
the company. We listened to Jazz's songs she wrote and two were excellent. I
said, "Now you listen to the material and all of us should vote on which
songs we select. We already have four of Mary's and Beth's along with your
two. Mary,  can you play those tunes for Jazz and the other three you just
finished?"

We all gave a score to the last three and then we voted on all of the ones we
did. Chet was so emotional on the one about child abuse he had to leave the
room. I went after him and said, "It's only a song." He had tears in his eyes
and said, "That was me as a kid." He cried on my shoulder for over 5 minutes
before we went back into the room. He regained his composure and said,
"That's an eleven and a hit single."

We did all of the tunes and then we checked the scores. I said, "We do 2 more
from Mary and Beth and these songs from us." Mary and Beth were smiling
again. I said, "Time to met the potential band members to make sure you like
them and their style. Jazz you wanted to play bass and Darla wants to play
guitar. I think you should still get one more musician that can play guitar
and bass so you can sing without an instrument in certain songs and also add
a guitar rhythm, maybe an electric acoustic. Chet said, "I agree. Lets get
them over here, or at our studio." I said, "Do it here so we don't have to
make the trip."

Brandy called Tom, Dylan, and Ryan, and they were all on their way over.
Darla said, "My sister plays a mean guitar and bass and can sing too. You
okay with us auditioning her? She lives about an hour from here now." I said,
"Get her on the phone." Darla called her and we were all laughing as they
were busting each other's chops about who is best. She was coming over too.

Brandy handed out cigarettes and Jim passed out cold beers from the bar
refrigerator. I lit up and took a deep drag. Debbie put her arm over my
shoulder as we sat back in the couch and talked about the music. Darla and
Jazz were learning the first tune from Mary and Beth as we were listening.
They sang it together and Chet said, "They are going to be butting up against
you, Dane, and Jerry in the charts. You watch." They went electric and
learned the guitar and bass parts and then played it for us. We all stood and
clapped. They could really sing.

Darla's sister Tammy arrived and they were a piss together. They played the
song for her and Tammy said, "Cool." She picked up a guitar and said, "Do it
again." She added some really neat stuff and then sang a harmony part to the
hook line. Jazz said, "Welcome to the band Tammy. Can we hear you sing a lead
vocal?" Tammy sounded just like Darla and we all had our mouths hanging open.
The three of them reworked who sings what parts in the first tune and then
they did it again. Margi said to us, "Another home run."

The rest of the guys showed up and we spent about a half hour talking about
the band. They each auditioned for Darla, Jazz, and Tammy. The three of them
went into the other room and came back in a few minutes. Darla said, "We want
you in the group, if you want to do it."

They instantly hit it off and we helped them learn the first tune complete.
Margi and Chet were smiling from ear to ear.  I sent out for dinner for
everyone and then we set up the cheap cassette recorder and played every tune
on a cassette from us and also from Mary and Beth. I filled out the forms for
the copyrights and wrote the checks. Chet said, "I'll get the tape copied and
have it mailed." Carrie made a few calls and got them a place to rehearse and
then we talked about the business side of it as we ate. I said, "Dane and
Jerry should tour together. They are both good solid acts and maybe even
split them half the time and put in new developing bands. I'd like for our
new group here to be the front act for our new tour as it will give them
instant exposure and notoriety. Darla, you all have to agree to use Carrie as
your manager if you want to do it like that." Darla said, "Shit yeah!"

Brandy said, "Now for a name. Anyone have any ideas?" Tammy was like a stand
up comic and had us all crazy as she was rolling off names like, Atomic Duck,
Naked Pussy, Free Beer,  the Idols revenge, Red neck biker babes, American
made, Debbie, and Kate and Brandy's toy band. We were all laughing and then
she said, "How about we take that line from one of the songs." Darla yelled
out, "Heaven on Earth!" Tammy said, "No, we call the band Georgia Passion."
Chet said, "I like it and it fits the act and sound." Margi said, "We bought
out your contracts this morning. Now it's time for a press release as soon as
you learn the material and have the CD ready. Chet, lets get them in as soon
as we can. You know you both had over 8 million votes each on that dumb show.
That's 8 million fans that will come see you and may buy your CDs. Let's not
allow that to go to waste."

Darla said, "We got that many votes?" Margi said, "Your sure did. The others
got about a half million more. Most people will listen to those stupid
judges. Sometimes they're right, but in your case they were way off base.
Trust me, you won't be happy with the contract you would have gotten anyway.
We got one of those deals from a contest. Kate and Debbie will tell you about
it and keep you laughing for hours."

We all had a beer and we told the story. Everyone was cracking up as Chet
explained what we had to do the song to fix it. Margi went into the FBI part
of it and Tammy was in tears laughing as she said, "I saw them live and they
were so bad. We couldn't figure out how they recorded that song."

Margi had all of the performing artists contracts with her and she spent some
time explaining them. She said, "You can have an attorney review them if you
like." The guys said, "These are about the best in the industry. We were
signed before." They all signed them and Margi said, "Lets make you a hit
record." They all shook hands with her and then Carrie had them sign the
manager's agreement and said, "You have five weeks until you play your first
major gig."

Chet was busting our chops about winning a Grammy and I said, "No way. It's
our first year in the business." He said, "I can almost guarantee that next
week you'll have three of them on your mantel." Darla had no clue what we
were talking about and Debbie said, "We were nominated for a Grammy in five
categories. The awards are next week, and then the CMA awards are the week
after and we were nominate for several of those also. I still think we should
have performed, like they asked us too." I said, "We are at the CMAs. Not at
the Grammy's. That's mostly pop and rock."


CHAPTER 15 - GRAMMY'S, CMA, AND COMMERCIALS


We helped Darla, Tammy, and Jazz get the band together and they sounded
wonderful. They also developed their own stage act that was modeled after us.
We absolutely loved it. They went into the studio to record and our whole
band flew to LA for the Grammy's. We had to wear long gowns and I said, "I
hate this shit. It isn't us honey." Debbie was smiling and said, "Kate, you
look great. Shut the fuck up and I mean that in the nicest way." Melissa
called us all Barbie dolls and we were laughing about it as we got out of our
limo at the entrance to the show.

The press was all over the place and taking pictures. People were yelling our
names as we walked in and we waved and smiled. We took our seats and were
talking to other nominees and then the show started. The emcee announced,
"Welcome to the 2010 Grammy awards", and then some band we never heard of
started to ply. It was the most hideous noise of screaming curse words to
distorted bass and guitar. We hated it. Other people besides us were laughing
and it was almost embarrassing. We couldn't stop giggling, as the band was so
bad and off key to boot. The show's emcee came to the podium after the band
played and said, "Now that was interesting. Was that music? Now wait a
minute. Wasn't that the winning American Idol?" The place was howling.

We really enjoyed ourselves for the first hour of the awards and then they
got to our categories in country music. Debbie was whispering in my ear about
something as they read our names and I said, "That's us." We heard, "And the
winner for best song is Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin for Remembering You."
We were in shock and didn't move. Brandy said, "Get up!" We smiled and walked
to the podium and then got our award. I said, "Since we never expected to
win, we didn't write a speech. I'd just like to speak from my heart. That
song was a real life story about me. Debbie and I cried for hours when we
wrote it and every time we performed it. We thank all of you for supporting
us and hope the song had meaning to you too." Debbie thanked everyone and we
even included Chet's dog as everyone laughed. We got an ovation and walked
back to our seats.

We were announced in the next category for best overall CD. We won it again
and the whole band went on stage. We thanked a few more people and I said, "I
guess we should play lotto this week. That's two for two." Everyone was
laughing and we waved as we all went back to our seats.

We were announced in the next category for best new country artists.  We won
again and we were laughing as we walked up to the stage. The presenter said,
"You again? Sit down and give someone else a chance." Debbie and I told a
short funny story about being on tour in a country band and our LA Christmas
concert. When I said, "Jerry had a great night with fifteen women's panties
thrown at him. That's how we keep score", the place was howling. Debbie told
about our kiss because we weren't allowed to do it and the presenter said,
"Do it again. It's never been done at the Grammy's." People were yelling to
do it and we did. We got a standing ovation.

The next category was for best producer and Chet won it for one of our CDs.
Then they got into the combined categories and we were nominated again for
best new all around band. We didn't think we had a chance at all and we were
so surprised when we heard, "The winner of this award has taken the music
industry by storm. They have combined country with American Rock and Roll,
arena stage shows, brilliant and creative music, and even a little acting."
We knew we won it at that point and Debbie said, "It's Us. Oh my God, it's
us!" We heard, "They need no introduction at all. The winner is Southland
with Kate Rodgers, Debbie Austin, Brandy James, Linda Storm, Gail Weaver,
Melissa Dover and Jim Hunt." We jumped up and screamed as we almost ran to
the stage with Brandy and the rest of the crew.

The audience was laughing as the presenter said, "You have another good
story?" Brandy told a funny story and everyone was laughing and then she
said, "All kidding aside, we all worship the ground that Kate and Debbie walk
on. They are one step above all of us and proved it in spades with the multi-
million dollar fund they set up for battered children last year. They have
the hearts of a giant and we think they are the best musicians on the
planet." We were crying and every one of the band hugged us. We waved as
people were standing and clapping, and then went back to our seats as
everyone was still standing and the clapping got louder. The presenter asked
us to stand again and we did and waved as we were both still crying. Debbie
and I hugged and she said, "This is so cool." We both were smiling and the
tears were still coming out.

We watched more of the awards and then they did the songwriters awards. We
were nominated again and we won. We were laughing as we walked to the stage.
We won it for best song in a major motion picture with our beer song. They
had it playing and the audience was singing along. We were smiling and sang
the chorus together at the podium. The cheers were like one of our concerts
and we waved as we walked back to our seats. Debbie whispered, "Five out of
five. We have to buy a lottery ticket." I smiled and nodded.

We watched the rest of the show and some of it was really funny. In the best
blues artist category, the presenter announced us as the winner as a joke and
the place went crazy. Someone yelled out, "Don't give them any new ideas!"
The real winner thanked us as a joke too and we blushed.

When the show was over, Margi ran down to our seats and was hugging us non-
stop and so was Carrie. Chet walked over and he did the same thing and said,
"I told you so." We had so many famous people congratulate us and we felt so
honored. Debbie asked for a shopping bag to take the awards home and everyone
was cracking up. Margi said, "Always a country girl. Don't either of you ever
change."

All of us went out to celebrate and then to the hotel for the night. Debbie
and I had such incredible sex and then we lay in bed laughing as we thanked
each other for everything, and I mean everything. She was even getting to our
toenail manicures we do for each other.

We bought our lottery ticket at the airport and flew back in the morning and
everyone yelled "surprise" in our house when we walked in. They had a huge
cake for us and we had one hell of a party. Jerry had a special plaque made
for us that had pictures of us getting the awards. I said, "How did you get
that so fast?" He said, "We hired a photographer to be at the show. He took
the digital photos and they made this overnight." We loved it and put it on
the mantel in the den with all of our Grammy's.

We didn't win the lottery and Debbie said, "Oh well. Five out of six isn't
bad." Then she wrote it on her list of phrases of songs and everyone was
cracking up.

The Country Music Awards were the next week in Nashville and we loved this
show. We played the opening number for the show and got a standing ovation
and then walked from the stage to the podium to host the first award
presentation. We did about a five minute monolog of jokes and then the top
ten things not to do at a country music concert. The place was roaring when
Debbie started with, "Tell everyone you're a Harvard Graduate." Her number
one thing not to say at a country music concert was, "I'm glad the South lost
the civil war and General Sherman was a fagot." Even we started to laugh at
that one. Then we went into the presentation.

This was fun and we won six awards dressed in our blue jeans the way we
always look on stage. One of the presenters said, "You're not allowed to win
here. You won at the Grammy's." He got booed and we were laughing as we
walked to the stage to get our last award.

Chet got two awards and Margi got an award for a host of music company
things. We all stood and screamed for her and she loved every second of it.
So did Carrie. She told the story about the contest winning band and everyone
was cracking up. Then she said, "Kate and Debbie are truly amazing. Their
knack for combining country with good old fashion rock, along with creating
four other top groups for us, helped rebuild this company to where it is
today. We're issuing a press release tomorrow about their latest project they
helped with, and it is a musical knock out. Look for it in the press."

Darla leaned forward and whispered into my ear, "Is that us?" I nodded and
she almost screamed. Debbie turned around and said, "You'll be on that stage
next year." Darla, Tammy, and Jazz were grinning from ear to ear.

The Georgia Passion CD was finished and we listened to the final production
version. It was terrific. Margi released it in a few the days and issued the
press release that was a huge advertisement. It was brilliant and played up
on the American Idol stuff. It also had our schedule for the next five weeks,
which started in Nashville again. The concerts were completely sold out
within a few hours of it being announced. Carried said, "Home run." Margi put
her arm on Carrie's shoulder and said, "No it's not. It's a fucking Grand
Slam!" Then she opened up two bottles of champaign for everyone to have a
toast. We finished those and then went to the beer as everyone was getting
trashed.

Darla, Tammy, and Jazz were a total piss to be with and we really liked
hanging around them. That night, everyone slept over at our place and
Melissa, Darla, Tammy, and Jazz went to bed with us. I was so turned on
watching Darla and her sister Tammy get it on together. Tammy said to me,
"Incest is best."

Debbie and I showed them how to find their spots and we got them addicted to
it also. Darla was screaming as she bounced on the bed in orgasms from Jazz
getting her off. Melissa was so into it with Tammy, we knew they were falling
for each other. We introduced them to Gismo and Spike, and our toys were the
hit of the night. Debbie and I made love next to the others in pairs all
night in our bed, and didn't stop until 7 in the morning. I loved how it felt
having Tammy and Melissa's bodies touching mine as Debbie and I were into
each other.

Melissa and Tammy were inseparable, and so were Jazz and Darla. We all slept
for a few hours and then started all over again and didn't get out of bed
until 3 in the afternoon.

We were sitting in the kitchen having a cigarette and making breakfast while
listening to the local music radio station. We heard Georgia Passion being
talked about and then the DJ played two of the their tunes. Darla, Tammy, and
Jazz were all smiles and then the DJ came on and said, "Kate Rodgers and
Debbie Austin helped build this band and the results speak for themselves.
They are terrific. Now lets here the number one tune this week from none
other than Kate and Debbie in Southland." We were all laughing at Darla,
Tammy, and Jazz as they were in shock.  We were eating as Brandy called us to
tell us the songs were on the radio and Tammy screamed, "We know! It's
wonderful!"

By the time our tour started, two of the Georgia Passion's tunes were in the
top ten, and one was number 2, right behind one of our tunes as number one.
Dane had the number 3 spot and Jerry the number 6 position. We had another
one at 5 also. Margi called and said, "Check the pop charts. You made the
number 2 spot also with that new slow song."

Our first gig for this tour was at the sports arena again and Mary and Beth
had the Georgia Passion merchandise all over the flea market. They went nuts
with the Georgia Passion name and there we so many things that people could
buy ranging from perfume and cologne to baseball hats. I actually liked the
clothing line and so did Debbie.

At the sound check Tammy was so nervous. I said, "It's nothing. Relax and
take a few deep breaths, and pretend you're playing in the practice studio."
She did it and it worked.

When the show was about to begin I said, "Remember, just like practice."
Darla and Jazz loved the crowd and they were use to it from American Idol.
Tammy said, "Help me out if I freeze." We were getting nervous as the emcee
gave a huge build up of the group and then they were given the cue to start.
We held our breath as we watched and Tammy was fine. Actually, she ended up
being the hit of the show with her sense of humor. The music was terrific and
so was the stage show. The fans loved them and we just smiled as Debbie said
to me, "Thank my mom for giving us a cut of the action on their CD sales. We
are going to make a ton of money on them."

Our show was fun as always. We changed a ton of stuff around and added some
of the new material. When we did our two current hits, the place was cheering
so loud we couldn't hear the stage monitors. We just looked at each other and
smiled. We had a skit where Debbie and I get arrested, except this time it
was for kissing on national TV.  The audience loved it and was cheering for
us. Then we sang one of our new tunes called, "When love comes a calling."
The audience went wild cheering when we sang the line, "Hot and wet, lust at
its best, we both had Georgia Passion." We saw Darla on the side of the stage
entrance cheering when it happened and we were trying not to laugh.

We ended the concert with an encore of the beer song. The entire place was on
their feet and singing along as we played it. We had Georgia Passion on stage
with us and they sang it with us. They loved it and so did the audience.

We ended the song and thanked the audience as each of us held up a hand of
one of the Georgia Passion band and Debbie said into the mic, "Aren't they
great?" The audience was standing and cheering louder than before and we all
knew they would be a huge success.

We all touched peoples hands in the front by the stage and then waved again
as we left. We got backstage and lit cigarettes and Darla said, "Wow!" I
said, "Glad you did it?" She said, "You bet! Wow!" Tammy was the same way and
so was Jazz. They guys were all laughing about it.

I sucked in on my cigarette and blew out the smoke saying, "Get ready to sign
autographs in a little while. The fans will mob you just like they do to us.
Be nice to all of them as they pay the bills."

Brandy said, "Same time tomorrow but without the sound check. You have to be
here by 7." Darla was so into the show part of it now and so was Tammy. We
listened to them talk and we were cracking up. Linda said, "Before you get
carried away. We had Debbie and Kate stuck in those handcuffs one night for
almost the entire song." I nodded and then Jim told them about my bondage
comment and we all cracked up. Darla started talking about using easier
props.

We finished our cigarettes and then got cleaned up a little and went outside
to meet the fans. All of us signed autographs behind a police barricade for
about a half hour. Darla, Jazz, and Tammy were in a daze walking on air.

The tour was a huge success. All of our CDs were selling like wildfire.
Georgia Passion went to play three nights with Dane, as Jerry played with us,
and then they went to play with Jerry as Dane played with us. We finished the
five week tour in Charlotte, with a four group mega concert and then flew
back home.

Margi was waiting for us at the airport along with Carrie and they rode in a
limo with us back to the house. Margi handed me the billboard magazine open
to the charts and said, "What's missing in this chart?" I read it and so did
Debbie. I said, "I know. There are no other record companies in the top ten."
Margi said, "Actually, the top twelve. The board noticed it big time and
awarded you both another bonus. Here's the numbers." She hand us a piece of
paper and we smiled as we read it. I said, "Tell them thank you."

Margi was going on about how every one of our CDs was now multi-platinum and
the numbers were staggering. I said, "I want to call Simon and rub it in."
Margi said, "You didn't see the paper the day after your first concert?" I
said, "No, we didn't have time to read it. Why?" She said, "There was a
picture of Darla and Jazz on stage playing the last song with you and all of
the papers and networks made a big deal about it after your comments on the
American Idol show. You don't have to rub it in. The press is doing it for
you."

Carrie said, "You have three weeks off, and I got all of you some special
deals. We'll talk about when we get back to your place with everyone there."
Margi had all of the limos go back to our place and we went inside to the
den. Carrie said, "We have a whole bunch of free money which are called
commercial endorsements, for everyone. All you have to do is a few TV
commercials on your time off. All of them are good, but a few are unreal."

She started to tell us about them and said, "Apple pie, God, motherhood,
Southland and Chevrolet. Kate, Debbie, Brandy and Jim, you each get 19.6
million for doing a few commercials over the next 2 weeks." We almost flipped
as she was reading them for everyone. Jerry got the biggest one for an
underwear company. We all were dying laughing. Georgia Passion got a big one
like ours and Darla actually fainted. Carrie had a package for each of us to
read about the specifics of the commercials and a contract to sign.

Our package was really interesting and we read the scripts for the
commercials and were laughing our ass off. It had dates and we were starting
tomorrow. We all signed the contracts and Carrie said, "Talk about easy
money."

Margi also announced that the record company decided to sponsor two NASCAR
racing cars this season and that all of our band names would be on the cars
also. Carrie said, "We changed the tour schedule a little for the next one to
include three outdoor concerts, the day before races. Talk about mega bucks.
Besides the ridicules prices we get, these places will seat over 125,000."
Margi said, "And your CDs and merchandise will be sold at all of the NASCAR
events too. I expect this to be a very good year for all of us."

The rest of the day we all goofed off together and talked about writing some
car racing songs. Jerry actually drove a NASCAR in a season three years ago
as a backup driver and was telling us exactly what it's like in a race.
Debbie said, "Bumper cars at 200." We wrote the funniest song that was half
perverted. Part of the verse lines were, "You get it in the butt if you go
too slow. You get it in the hips, if you don't go low. Grabbing that big
shifting stick, don't go high if you're wet or slick. Take it like a man, and
put on a show. Women really dig it when you go down low." Margi was howling
and so was Carrie. We taught the song to Dane and she was laughing her ass
off as they played it the first time.

The next morning Brandy, Jim, Debbie and I flew to Detroit for three days for
our commercial filming. We got there and met everyone, and then went right to
work. The filming only took a full day and we had no clue what they were
going to do with all of the short bits they had us do. We found out on the
last day when they assembled the first one of five commercials and we saw the
screening.

I laughed my ass off. It starts with Debbie and me talking to Brandy who is
dressed as a car salesperson and we are drooling over a new Corvette. She
tells us how fast it is and we take it out for a test drive. I'm driving, but
we weren't really moving when we filmed it. Debbie says to me, "What's this
button on the console for?" I said, "I don't know. Push it and lets see what
happens." She pushes it and in the commercial it shows us with our faces
pulled back like in a centrifuge and the car talking off like a rocket ship.
Then it shows us slam on the breaks and the car stops on a dime. I say, "Good
thing the brakes work." Jim is dressed like a cop and the commercial shows a
3 sec clip of him arresting us on stage and then he gives me a ticket for
doing 204 miles and hour, arrests us both, and puts us in handcuffs. The
narrator talks about the car and says, "Kind of like your own private
amusement park. Available at your local Chevy dealer."

We all watched it three times and were laughing each time we saw it. Then
they brought in another one of the commercials for us to watch. This was even
funnier about us all driving one of the new SUVs to a ranch to learn how to
ride horses. We all really knew how to ride but we had to pretend that we
didn't and fall off. Jim almost wet his pants watching this one. We climb on
the SUV and use it as a latter to get on the horses after each of us slips
off the saddle. The narrator says, "Good for more than just driving" and they
run the Chevy theme song.

We watched the other three and they were even better. We had no clue at the
time we made them, what the end result was going to be. I said, "We looked at
buying the new corvette with that valet button. We couldn't find a dealer
that had any, as they were all sold out for the year." The manager we were
dealing with said, "We'll fix that. How about four of them for free? What
colors and body styles. We'll do the ordering right now."

We sat at a computer and put the build sheets together for the cars. Debbie
and I got a yellow coupe and a blue convertible. The manager said, "I bumped
your order so they will be built starting tomorrow, and should be at your
local dealer waiting for you in about a week." We thanked him and then we
went to get our flight back home.

When we got home, Brandy and Jim stayed over for dinner and no one else was
there. I said, "They have to be in TV commercial land also." We cooked and
had a few beers, and then started talking about what we would do with all of
the money. I said, "Keep it for a rainy day, when we decide we don't want to
play anymore." Jim, said, "We're still young. That's a long time from now."
Then we started to get silly talking about the screwball things we could do.
Brandy wanted to open and sex toy company and was demonstrating the new line
of toys she would carry. We all lost it when she had a fat finger dildo that
rubs your spot and gets you off.

We started to get sexy with them, and we all ended up in our bed. Jim was
lying naked next to me on one side and Brandy on the other. Debbie was on the
other side of me. I sat up and sucked Jim's cock into my mouth as Debbie sat
up and was caressing my breasts and Brandy was kissing my cheeks. Brandy said
to me, "Take the horse for a ride." We all giggled remembering the commercial
and I climbed on Jim's stiff cock and it slid into my pussy. I arched my back
and was moving my pussy on him, as Debbie sucked one of my nipples and Brandy
sat on Jim's face. Brandy leaned forward and kissed me and then kissed
Debbie, as Jim was moaning into her cunt.

We change positions every five minutes or so, so we each got to ride the
horse. Jim was getting ready to cum into Debbie's pussy and she got off him
and pushed my head down to suck him off. Brandy was whispered into my ear,
"Make him cum baby and show us the white goop in your mouth." I was bobbing
my head on his shaft and felt his cock pulsate as it sent a blast of warm cum
into my mouth. I held it all in and rubbed his shaft with my hand as it
squirt over and over again. I lifted up my head with my lips closed and then
showed Brandy and Debbie the cum. Brandy said, "Kiss Jim and share it with
him." I kissed him and he swallowed all of it, as we got so hot.

Debbie sucked Jim's cock hard again as Brandy was eating out my pussy. Then
we rode him again and this time he lasted over and hour. We rubbed each
other's clits as we rode the horse and we all had an orgasm. He yelled, "I'm
cumming", as Brandy was on him. She got off and we pushed Debbie's head on
his cock. She sucked him like a vacuum cleaner and he was moaning as he shot
his load into her mouth. Debbie shared it with me and Brandy and we played
with the cum for over 10 minutes, swapping it back and forth and spitting it
into each other's mouth.

Jim was exhausted and passed out cold. We moved him over in the bed and the
three of us lit cigarettes. Brandy took a drag and blew out the smoke as she
said, "I really get off making love to both of you." She gave us each a wet
kiss and we were touching each other as we finished our cigarettes.

Debbie said to me, "I want to watch you in a 69 with Brandy. It gets me so
hot watching you both." I crawled on top of Brandy and we went wild on each
other as Debbie was masturbating and watching us. Then Brandy and I made
Debbie totally crazy. I found Debbie's spot and we made her orgasm so many
times she almost passed out. Brandy ate her out and shared the thick pussy
cum with me and Debbie was begging to kiss us also. We gave her some of it
she was hugging me so tight. Then Debbie and I got off using Spike while
Brandy masturbated for us.

The three of us caressed each other softly and kissed, and finally feel
asleep at 2 in the morning.

By the next week, all of us had our commercials finished and they were
starting to air on national TV. Everyone died laughing at ours. Jerry's was
by far the most sexy and Mary said, "Maybe I will buy those panties."

Mary and Beth were working on new material and they already finished twelve
new songs that all of us loved. They also wrote a song about the NASCAR races
and we decided to do it as a combination of all four bands together for a
closing song at the outdoor concerts. It was incredibly catchy.

The four of us got our new Corvettes and really liked them. These new cars
were the special high performance edition and were fast beyond belief. It
made our new Ferrari and Lamborghini seem slow. Debbie and I got pulled over
by a cop and he just laughed when he saw it was us. He said, "Just like the
commercial, but I'm not into bondage. Keep it under a hundred, please." We
thanked him and Debbie gave him free tickets to our first tour date, which
she had in her pocketbook.


CHAPTER 16 - NASCAR


The Southern tour went off like clockwork. We changed it a lot this year and
started with another show in Nashville, and then worked our way south. We did
our first outdoor concert at Charlotte Motor Speedway and it was a blast.
There were so many people there the audience seemed to go on for miles. The
PA system Mary and Beth had contracted for this event was amazing. They had
huge stacks of speakers and horns every few hundred feet.

When the show started they introduced all of the drivers in the race tomorrow
and the cheering was deafening. Dane led it off with the race song we wrote
and the place loved it. Margi and Carrie were at the event and Margi said to
us, "That's single is being sold at the race tomorrow. I bet we sell over
75,000 copies."

Doing the outdoor concert was terrific. We all had a chance to watch the show
and we had no idea that Jerry was that good on stage. The women worshiped him
and we were all laughing about it. All of the shows were really good and then
we did ours. Jim gave us a speeding ticket this time on stage and the place
went wild cheering. I said into the mic, "The car really does go that fast.
We have one." The Chevy crew was at the event and they were all cheering in
the front section.

We did our normal routine and the place was hopping as usual. Brandy called
all of the other bands back on stage for us for the last song and I said, "We
wanted to do a few race songs for this concert. This one was written by two
very good friends of ours and we all wanted to record it, so we decided to do
it together. This single and the one from Dane will both be available at the
race tomorrow, and can also be purchased at the vendor stands here this
evening." Gail clicked it off for us on drums and we all played and sang the
song. It was so catchy. People were singing the chorus with us by the second
time around.

When we ended it, the cheers were deafening to the point Debbie and Brandy
had to cover their ears. Everyone was screaming for more so I said, "One more
tune." We all did the beer song together and then waved as the thousands of
people stood and cheered. Debbie said into the mic, "Make sure you rout for
our cars in the race tomorrow. Numbers 17 and 31." The cheering got louder
and we waved as we walked off the stage.

I said to Margi, "What a great idea this was." She said, "It was Carrie's
idea and you're right." We watched people in lines at the vendor stands
buying both CD singles as Margi said, "That's the sound of cash registers
ringing." We sat around the stage and had cigarettes and Margi said, "We'll
see you at the VIP tent by the pits tomorrow for the race. We're getting
there around 10 for a brunch."

I took a drag of my cigarette and blew out the smoke saying, "Time to sign
autographs. The line is getting really long." The police had made a barricade
by the stage after the show and we walked to the yellow sawhorses and signed
autographs for almost an hour as we talked to the fans. The women were all
over Jerry and everyone was laughing about it. Barb said, "A 22 panty night.
A new record!"  Dane was cracking up and said, "Hey Beth, write a song about
it!" The fans were clapping when they heard her.

We all got into the limos and they drove slowly through the crowds as we had
the windows down and waved to people. We got the motel by the track and all
went to our rooms. Debbie and I kissed for over a half hour, as we were so
into just being close to each other tonight. We made love slowly and gently,
caressing each other. After we both orgasmed a few times, Debbie grabbed
Spike from on top of the nightstand and said, "Time to fuck our brains out."
I gave her a soft kiss again and she melted in my arms. We slowly put Spike
in our pussies and pushed ourselves together. When our pussies touched it was
like an explosion went off and we wild on each other. We fucked for over an
hour and then ate each other like total animals. I loved every second of it.

We were exhausted and had a cigarette in bed. Debbie took a drag as I set the
alarm clock and she said, "Honey, that was so nice tonight." We kissed again
and she was making "mmmmm" sounds. I grinned and said, "I feel the same way"
and then I took a drag of my cigarette as we lay against each other.

The next morning we got up and took the limos to the racetrack with everyone
else. We drove to the VIP tents and then followed Margi into our area. It was
nice and fully catered. We saw some people we recognized and Margi introduced
us. She said, "This is Bob Chimes, the CEO of the company." I said, "We've
seen you at a bunch of our shows. Why didn't you introduce yourself." He
said, "I didn't want to make you nervous. My wife, Terry, and I love your
music. I don't get to Nashville very often, and you were always on tour when
I stopped in. I think this idea of Carrie's is the best one yet and the two
race songs are terrific." He went up to every member of the bands and shook
hands telling each person how much he liked the music and shows. Then they
were started busting his chops like we do to everyone. Jerry said, "Didn't
you throw panties at me last night?" I thought Margi was going to wet her
pants and Bob loved it. He said, "Yeah, they were the wet ones from the
hooker I was with. I hope you didn't touch them. They smelled like fish."
Jerry smiled and said, "Excellent."

We all had breakfast and Bob talked to us as a group about plans for the
company and he gave all of us great compliments along with Margi, Chet, Bill,
and Carrie for her ideas. He said, "I want our race cars to be known as the
Grammy and CMA mobiles. The board authorized me to award 2 million dollars to
each person who gets one this year and I know you are the ones who have the
best shot at it." We all were standing and cheering for him and then Bob
said, "We have some guests from other companies we invited here for the race
today. Please, just be yourselves. They all want to meet you and don't put on
any airs for them. As Debbie put it at the CMAs last year, "Don't tell them
you graduated from Harvard." We were all smiling as we finished our
breakfast.

The race drivers came into the tent and we already met them last night. I
said, "So which one of you is going to win today?" They were arguing and we
all we cracking up. They were worse than we were. Bob was laughing his ass
off.

The drivers took us for a tour of the cars in the pits and work areas. It was
cool. We met most of the drivers last night and they all told us they loved
the show. Debbie and I got to sit in one of the cars and this was scary. I
said, "How can you sit so close to the steering wheel?" One of the drivers
said, "You need to sit like that so you can use all of your muscles to turn
the wheels on the banking and them hold it stable. It gives you leverage."

We thanked them, and went back to the tent to be introduced to a ton of
executives from companies the record company does business with. All of us
signed a few copies of our newest CD and I said, "I saw you at one of our
shows last week. Fifth row back from the stage." The woman said, "How in the
world can you remember that?" Debbie said, "We make eye contact with people
in the front rows." The woman said, "I thought you were looking at me and my
friend told me I was just fantasizing." We were smiling and Jerry announced
that the beer was cold and on tap.

By the start of the race, none of us was feeling any pain, including the
guests that were there. Bob passed out Cuban cigars and Debbie and I tried
one. Everyone thought we were nuts as we smoked them.

We watched the race from the front of the tent and our drivers were in the
lead for a while and then lost some time in the pits. We listened in to the
radio from the drivers talking to the pits and they were both pissed as hell.
Debbie said, "Give them hell Dave." He heard us and was laughing as he passed
a car on a turn.  Bob thought it was hilarious.

At the midpoint of the race we all had about 8 beers and were laughing at
everything. Our cars were in the lead and Margi was screaming. We loved it.

With 5 laps to go we were sobering up and our cars were trading the lead back
a forth with two other cars and everyone was so into it. With two laps to go
there was a wreck on the track and the yellow came out with our cars in the
lead. Everyone was cheering, as we knew they won now. Bob said, "Margi and
Carrie should go to the winners circle to be with the drivers. This was
they're idea."

We watched our cars get the checkered flag as a 1, 2 finish and then all of
them pulled into the pits except for ours and one other one that made a
parade lap. Everyone was cheering and Margi and Carrie were so excited as
they walked to the pits, and then across the track to the winner's area.

We watched the drivers get the awards and clapped from across the track.
Margi was glowing and so was Carrie as they shook everyone's hand.

Margi and Carrie came back to the tent and we all stayed after the race for a
little while having some more food.  Bob wished us all luck on our continued
tour and promised to throw more wet underwear at Jerry. Barb was cracking up.
The guests couldn't get enough of our clowning around and we sang the beer
song together as we all had one more glass.

Carrie said, "Next week in Atlanta we do the same deal on Saturday. The
numbers from this one were staggering and you are all going to love it on
payday."

We said goodbye to everyone and took the limos back to the motel to get our
luggage and then we left for the next tour stop.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


The tour went great and so did the rest of the outdoor concerts. We had a
very unusual request at the end if the tour and decide to accept the
invitation to play unplugged at the White House and have dinner with the
President. We had a blast as his daughters were our biggest fans and so was
the First Lady.

When we got back Carrie gave us the numbers from this tour and we all
laughed. I said, "Add them again. It can't possibly be right." She said, "I
said the same thing to the accountants and they added them three times. It's
right."

We decided to make the next tour double length and spent 12 weeks on the road
non-stop. We also did five more outdoor concerts and made a small fortune.
When we got back, all for bands went into the studio, one after the other, to
record new CDs and then we went back on the road again.

At Christmas, all of us were exhausted. We did a four band Christmas concert
that was televised again, and then went back home and decided to stay put
until after the Grammy's and CMAs.

When we got into our house, Margi and Carrie were waiting for us and Margi
said, "You both look like shit. You're way underweight and look tired as
hell. Have a seat. We'll feed you if we have too." Debbie and I were smiling,
as we really were tired. Carrie said, "I have something to cheer you up a
little. I have the numbers for the entire year, including everything. I'll go
over them with you as Margi makes us some dinner."

Debbie and I lit cigarettes and she handed us a book of accounting reports.
She said, "Page 2 and 3 are the overview." We flipped to it and the numbers
were unbelievable. I said, "I forgot all about the Chevy deal and the other
one for the clothing line we did. Wow. Where's the total? Never mind I found
it. Holy fuck!" Debbie was laughing and said, "We couldn't spend this in a
million years.  We did over 40 million each just on the CDs and song
royalties. Over 93 million in endorsements, over-rides, and merchandise. This
is funny. Check out the tour. Damn did we clean up." Debbie was laughing and
put her head on my shoulder and said, "We really are filthy rich. Guess we
can afford that double wide trailer now." We were laughing and Carrie lost it
also.

I took a drag of my cigarette as Carrie said, "Margi and I wanted to talk to
you about taking it easy for a while so you don't burn out. All of us have
made so much money lets just coast for a while and get our energy back.
Everyone in your band has made a fortune. Jerry is up there too and so is
Dane. Darla, Tammy, and Jazz, each made over 27 million. I had 10 percent on
all of it and ended up with about 6 percent after expenses and taxes. Margi
made even more than me on her override on all of the new business. The NASCAR
thing made all of us money, both in record sales and the concerts and
merchandise.

We both took a drag of our cigarettes as Margi came in with two forks and
said, "Taste and tell me what you think." We both ate it and I said,
"Wonderful. Real food again." She smiled and said, "You saw the numbers. How
about talking a few months off to goof around so you don't kill yourself." I
said, "We were going to take 6 weeks off anyway. We'll just extend it a
little until we feel back to being ourselves again. We really are exhausted.
Carrie, how much would we make if we didn't do a tour like we had before, but
only played a major gig every weekend, with one off after every four?" She
said, "I'll work out the numbers. That may be a way to ease off a little and
still keep the bands on top of the charts and the CDs selling."

Margi said, "How about you think about building us another band, and you get
a full cut of it. Most musicians would die for a chance to play in a group
that you set up. Look at your track record. Plus there is no effort after
it's up and rolling other than writing new material. Mary and Beth seem to
have that aspect nailed cold. Did you see their statement?" Carried showed it
to us and we were laughing again as Margi said, "That's without the BMI
royalties from this quarter. The overrides they have on merchandise are huge,
but without their ideas we would have never started the flea markets."

Mary and Beth came in and they were all over us, hugging us, and telling us
we looked like shit. I said, "Carrie has your statement. You're going to die
when you see it." Carrie gave it to them and Mary hugged Beth and said, "Yes!
Yes! Yes! Now we can afford that used station wagon we wanted." All of us
were cracking up. Margi said, "We told Debbie and Kate to cool it for a
while. They are pushing themselves way too hard. Dinner's ready. Mary and
Beth, how about joining us? I made enough for an army."

We all sat in the kitchen and had Margi's veal and angle hair. Debbie and I
totally pigged out and Margi kept refilling our plates. We each had a beer
and Carrie gave us a second one and said, "Drink it. It will put on weight."
Debbie and I were laughing and I said, "If this puts on weight, we'd be 250
pounds by now. We have at least one beer after every gig."

After we ate we were so stuffed couldn't move and were so tired too. We went
into the den and turned on the TV and I said, "We haven't watched TV in 6
months." Debbie put on American Idol and we were cracking up at how bad the
people were. One contestant was okay and the judges blasted her. Margi said,
"Turn that crap off. Put on the Nashville talent show. It starts tonight." I
said, "Are you doing the contract for it again?" She said, "I have too. God I
hope they are good this time."

We watched the show and we really laughed, as Margi was moaning and begging
God for someone that can sing on key. On the last act she got her wish and we
all liked the band. She called the producer and we heard her say, "Tell the
judges that's the one. Period. I don't give a shit how they do it. Make that
band win. I can sell them." We were all cracking up and I said, "You need a
break too. You are so high strung." Margi sat down and I rubbed her shoulders
and she said, "You'll put me to sleep." I said, "Good." Carrie was smiling at
me and nodding her head.

I massaged Margi's neck and shoulders as she zoned out and we watched the
contestant get great reviews by the judges. Debbie was smiling.

I sat down and Carrie woke up Margi and helped her to the car to go home.
Mary and Beth were talking to us about the tour and we had so many funny
stories. Mary said, "We spent a ton of time with Dane and Jerry as they had
so many problems at a few of the places. We had to cancel one gig because
their equipment didn't show up and another one because the electricity was
out in the city." I said, "All of our gigs went great. How are the new tunes
coming along?" Beth said, "Well play them for you tomorrow. We have 53 new
songs of which we think 46 are ready to be recorded." I said, "Serenade us
tomorrow. I'm ready to drop." Debbie and I went to bed and cuddled for about
10 minutes kissing and then we were out cold.

We were so exhausted we stayed in bed for two days. Mary and Beth brought us
up tons of food and juice and we cuddled all day and watched TV and sleep. We
also had sex a lot, but we always do that. Margi had a doctor come to the
house to check us out and he said, "You are both suffering from severe
exhaustion and I'm giving you some vitamins to take. Make sure you get plenty
of rest and eat full meals. You're also way underweight." Margi called an
agency and they found us a live in cook. I said, "Thank you." Carrie said,
"Now find us one too." Margi called them back and was smiling at Carrie.

We spent the next week just lounging around and talked to everyone in the
band. They were the same way we were. We had a phone conference call and I
said, "Lets cool it for two months at least and then think about just doing
big gigs on the weekend. We all made fortune this past year. If we keep this
up, we'll be dead before we can enjoy any of it." Brandy said, "You got that
right. You got our votes." Melissa said, "Me too." Linda said, "Gail and I
are with you all the way. Lets do the weekend thing for a while. It may
actually bring in the same amount to money. Carrie should do a financial
model for us." I said, "She's working on it now. Lets get together when she
has it done." We talked for about an hour and Brandy was by far the worst out
of all of us and was anemic. She said, "Orange juice every few hours and
eating regular again. I'm suppose to gain 23 pounds. No wonder my cloths were
all falling off." Linda said, "Us too. We're down 17 pounds each."

We talked about building a new band for Margi and talking a cut of it.
Everyone was in for that one. It was amazing that we were so exhausted but
were getting excited about starting things again. We all started laughing at
each other. I said, "Go back to bed. Lets talk every day at the same time.
Bye."

It took us over a week to get our strength back being pampered by our new
cook. Her name was Gretchen, and we hit it off with her immediately. She was
doll and about the same age as Margi.

We talked everyday to each other and then finally everyone felt good enough
to come over here. Darla, Tammy, and Jazz were exhausted too, but not nearly
as bad. They came to visit each of us everyday.

Everyone was at the house and Carrie came over to present a weekend only
thing. She started by saying, "I assumed that you will all play 4 weekends in
a row, that's Friday and Saturday night for three weekends, and just Saturday
for the forth. Then you get two weeks off. The gigs can be anywhere in the US
and all travel will be by plane, first class. These are the results." She
handed out sheets for each band and said, "Surprisingly its only a 5 percent
difference because of the size of the venues we will be booking." I said,
"Are you sure?" She said, "The accountants double checked everything." I
said, "I vote we do it. This is so much easier. How much of a difference is
it if we just do 2 weekends with Friday and Saturday?" She said, "I thought
you'd ask that. These are all of the combinations." She handed us each
another sheet and it had all of the combinations. We all decided the 2
weekends of Friday, Saturday were the way to go, as it was only a small
difference.

We talked about when we would start again and we picked a date 2 months out
and everyone was smiling. Then we all got on the scale in our bathroom one at
a time to see who still needs to eat more. I was the worst and they were
yelling at me. Debbie beat me by one pound.

We had Gretchen make dinner for everyone and we finally sat and listened to
all of Mary and Beth's tunes. We used note pads to vote and Mary was laughing
at a few when we all gave the song and eleven.

I said, "We don't need to record a full CD. Why don't we each take one of the
best tunes and just do a single." Mary loved it as we all picked two to
record. One would be released and the other would go on the next CD along
with it.

Each day we were getting stronger and within a week we all felt great again.
Debbie and I started writing again and we turned out a ton of new tunes. We
all agreed on the ones for our next CD and then we got everyone together
again and we played all of our tunes for everyone to here and then the ones
we wrote that each band can use. Everyone voted on the tunes and we put them
in the stack with Mary and Beth's.  I said, "Lets take all the top ones and
decide which band should record them." We literally dissected each song and
tried the vocals with Jerry, Darla, and Dane and then all decided who would
make the most money with it. We were all laughing at a few of them as Jerry
couldn't hit a few notes and Dane couldn't either if it as too low.

We had each band with 18 new tunes to record and I said, "There's no rush,
but we should record them and release the CDs before we do the weekend gigs.
We all still have tunes in the charts but they will fade in the coming
weeks." We called Carrie and Margi over and we laid out a plan for the
recording sessions and the timing before we started the weekend gigs.

All of the bands recorded the singles this week and then Georgia Passion was
in the best shape of all of us, so they were going into the studio next week
for the full CD. Jerry was next, then Dane, and then us.


CHAPTER 17 - REWARDS AND RECOGNITION


We finished our new CD and were totally relaxed and back to 100 percent. All
of our singles were released and it was like a contest to see who got to the
top first. Dane beat us out for a week and then we took over number one and
Jerry was pissed, as we all knew his song was better. Margi released our full
CDs two weeks later.

All of us were nominated for Grammy's and CMA's this year. The competition
between us was a lot of fun and we made a dollar bet on each category we
competed in. We knew one of us won best country group, as our four bands were
the only nominees. We bet five dollars on that one. Margi thought we were
nuts.

All of us flew to the Grammy's together in Hollywood and made it a two day
thing. We spent the first day just goofing off and site seeing at the
California beaches. Debbie said, "I know why the beach boys wrote songs about
surfing and stuff. It's gorgeous out here." We stopped at a place on the
coast highway that was all high cliffs going down to the ocean and we just
starred. It was breath taking.

We spent the afternoon trying surfing and we all sucked so bad it was a riot.
Margi took pictures of all of us and we posed for her as we fell off the
boards. We left at 4 to go back to the hotel to get ready for the show.

I didn't complain once about wearing a gown. That's because we all decided to
wear what we wear on stage. To quote Margi, "Fuck them if they say anything.
You all look sexy as hell." Debbie was smiling and said, "That's my mom."

We took five limos to the show from the hotel and had to wait in line to get
out. When we got out of our car, the photographers were going crazy snapping
pictures and the fans were cheering for us. Someone yelled out, "You going to
kiss again? That was so hot!" We smiled and waved as we ignored it.

No one said a word about how we were dressed and I felt so much more
comfortable. Debbie was whispering into my ear about someone and I said, "No
shit. Where?" She pointed and it was Simon. I told Darla and she was laughing
as I told her what to say if she won.

We talked with a bunch of people and they all wanted to know if we were going
to walk away with a shopping bag full again. Debbie held up a plastic bag we
brought with us and everyone was laughing.

The lights dimmed and orchestra music was playing with a kettle drum roll.
The emcee announced the start of this years show and then he announced a band
that kick it off. This group was as bad as the one last year and everyone was
laughing. People weren't even trying to hide it, and it was loud. The band
finished and Chris Rock came out to emcee and was blasting the band. He was
hilarious and every other word was fuck or shit. We couldn't stop laughing.
He stole Debbie's top ten idea and had his top ten reasons to be at the
Grammy's. His number ten reason was, "So everyone can watch Kate and Debbie
win everything again." The place was roaring as he listed them all. His
number one reason was, "So we can make fun of Simon." Everyone was clapping
at that one.

The awards started and we watched the first hour and listened to a few bands
play. Then they got into our categories and the first category was best new
country band or artist. Georgia Passion was nominated and we heard, "And the
winner is, Georgia Passion featuring Darla Knight, Jazz Summers, Tammy
Knight, Tom Rhodes, Dylan South and Ryan O'Brady."  We were cheering for them
as they walked to the podium. Simon was slumping in his chair and covering
his face with his hands and we loved it. Darla, Tammy, and Jazz gave the
acceptance speech and they said some very flattering things about us. Jazz
ended it with, "We especially wanted to thank three people. They are Paula,
Randy, and Simon who thought we sucked and helped get us voted off of
American Idol. If they hadn't done that, this wouldn't have been possible,"
Everyone was standing, cheering, and laughing as they all held up the Grammy
and then walked back to their seats. I turned around and said, "Great
speech." Darla slapped me a high five and we were laughing.

We were in the next category with all of the bands for best country band. We
won it and everyone handed us a 5 dollar bill as we went to the stage. When
we go to the podium the presenter said, "You taking a collection like in
church?" Brandy said into the mic, "We all bet on the ones we are competing
in. This bet was for 5 dollars each." She held up the money and everyone was
laughing and then she gave the first part of the speech and then Debbie and I
spoke. I thanked all of people who supported us in our NASCAR adventure and
concerts and the entire audience stood and clapped. Debbie said, "Thanks
mom."

We got the cheers and walked back to our seats. We were nominated in 5
categories again and won them all. The last speech I said, "We're all out of
stories. I just wanted to give my sincere thanks to Simon, and I am dead
serious. He made it possible for us to build Georgia Passion, the best new
band this year. Debbie and I knew from the first time Darla and Jazz opened
their mouth to sing, they could make it big. We love their personalities, and
they proved us right. I consider helping them to achieve the level they are
at now more of an accomplishment than the ones we achieved ourselves. We
passed the baton to them to race against us. Just like we did for Jerry and
Dane. The fans are what made it possible, and we have a new one cooking and
will be announcing it in the next couple of months. Thank you America."

Simon was beat red and everyone was standing and clapping for us as we walked
to our seats. The clapping got louder and we were asked to all standup again.
We waved as we smiled and then sat down. Debbie had her plastic bag out and
we were laughing.

The next category was best male country vocal and Jerry won it with one of
our songs. We stood cheering for him as we all gave him a buck and he walked
to the stage. He waved the cash and then gave a great speech. Women were
screaming for him the whole time and he ended it with, "I want to thank Kate
and Debbie for giving us this opportunity and also writing our material along
with Mary and Beth. It's Kate and Debbie's song that made me win this award.
I had to give it my best to make sure I lived up to her expectations for the
song. Thanks Kate and thanks Debbie." Everyone was clapping for him and then
they asked us to stand again. This was getting old real fast.

Mary and Beth won the award for best song on a major motion picture and we
screamed when they called their names and we paid them a buck. They thanked
us and got emotional. Everyone stood and was clapping for them. We hugged
them both when they sat down.

Chet got an award and then we all listened to the last section of awards that
we weren't in. The show ended with a fantastic version of America. We checked
out the name of the singer in the program and clapped for her when it was
over.

Debbie had her plastic garbage bag filled with our Grammy's and everyone was
laughing at us. We had a blast with it. Margi congratulated us and then
hugged Mary and Beth over and over again. They were thrilled.

I wanted to tell Simon that is was all in fun, but he wanted nothing to do
with us and left. We just laughed about it. Chet said, "Producing you and the
acts that you build is the easiest thing in the world, but don't tell anyone
that, or I won't get any more of these. I knew your song, `I love you mom'
would get the top honors. That made me cry like a baby when I first heard it.
You remember that." I said, "Yup. I made all of us cry." Chet hugged us and
said, "I love doing this every year."

Bob, the CEO of the record company, came over to us and he was hugging us and
said, "You won six each? Shit is this going to be expensive." We were smiling
and Debbie said, "We haven't been to the CMAs yet either." He said, "I hope
you get another 6. You deserve it. I see you're back to feeling 100 percent
again too. Don't wear yourself out. Enjoy life a little too as it is way too
short and goes by way too fast."

We made our way towards the door and talked to a bunch of people. We met up
with everyone by the lobby and we got ready to leave. We went outside to wait
for the limos and reporters were asking all of us questions. They all loved
Debbie's plastic bag and they took pictures of it. I was asked about the next
band we were building and I said, "We'll announce it in the next few months.
You can count on them being very good."

We got into the limos and went back to the hotel. Margi was laughing at us in
the hotel lobby and said, "We better have a band ready as we all committed to
it." I said, "We'll figure something out." We were cracking up about it and
went into the hotel bar.

We had a few pitchers of beer and Margi was making toasts to all of us. I
said to Margi, "What happened to the band we saw on the Nashville talent
show?" She said, "They didn't make it to the finals. Why?" I said, "That's
our new band to build on. Let see if we can hear them when we get back." She
was smiling and said, "That's a good idea."

Debbie and I spent a very passionate night together and were so into each
other. She ate me out until I orgasmed six times, one for each Grammy. Then I
did the same thing to her. We were so nuts.

We flew back the next morning and the time zone change kills us every time we
fly back from the west coast. As soon as we got home, Margi found out the
names and phone numbers of the band that we liked. She made the calls and we
scheduled them to come to our house tomorrow for a discussion and audition.

Debbie and I pigged out on Gretchen's cooking. We loved her spare ribs and
could eat them all day and night. She mothered us to death and we loved every
second of it.

The next day, our band came over along with Margi and Chet to hear the
contest band.  When they showed up we did the introductions and they were
star struck. I said, "We don't bite, or at least not on the first date." Chet
was cracking up and they loosened up a little. We talked about their playing
and we listened to their original songs on a folk guitar first. Three were
pretty good and I said, "Lets hear you play those tunes."

We listened and they had possibilities but needed work. Debbie and I fixed
one of their songs for them and then showed them the changes and then asked
them to do it again. Chet said, "Much better." Debbie and I worked with the
band on the two other tunes they had and then we all critiqued them after
they played.

Margi said, "Lets sit and talk for a while." We sat on the couches in the
studio and Margi said, "This is the deal, if you are interested. We like your
band, but the material is mediocre at best. The vocals are good, but the
guitar work is sloppy. We would sign your act with the following provisions.
First is that we find you a good guitar player than can also sing. Second is
that we provide your material. Third is that Kate and Debbie have final say
on what you do and how you do it, and Chet produces your sessions. Forth is
that Carrie manages your band and that you tour to support the record sales."
They were all talking about it and the guitar player said, "I guess I won't
be part of it then." I said, "What else do you play?" He was looking at the
floor and mumbled, "Nothing." Debbie said, "You don't sing, so why should
they keep you in the band?" He got up and thanked us and left.

Kathy, the lead singer and rhythm guitar player said, "You just made our job
easier. We were going to ask him to leave anyway. I say we do it. How about
you Janice?" She said, "Go for it. Harry?" He said, "The rest of us are in."
Margi said, "Excellent. We'll get the contacts ready. Now we need to find you
a good guitar player than can add something to the group." Kathy said, "We
know someone who hates the band she's in. She plays a lot like Debbie and
sings too." Debbie smiled and said, "Invite her over here."

We asked Gretchen make us sandwiches as Kathy called the other guitar player.
We heard, "Hi Danica, it's Kathy. You feel like meeting us for an audition
that could change your life forever?" We all smiled and Kathy said, "Take
down these directions and bring your 56 Strat. That sounds so good." Debbie
smiled and said to me, "A collector like us. I love it."

Danica showed up as we finished our sandwiches and Kathy introduced her.
Debbie said, "What's in the old case?" Danica took out a mint condition 1956
Fender Stratacastor and Debbie said, "I want one. That's gorgeous." Debbie
went with her into the studio and we couldn't tell which one was playing.
They sound alike and Chet said, "She's in!" Then we heard one of them playing
Stevie Ray Vaughn exact and we went in to see it. It was Danica and then
Debbie played the same thing and the two were laughing about it.

We listened to her sing and I said, "Want to join a band?" Kathy explained
the deal to her and she said, "I'm definitely in." Debbie said, "Lets get you
a good set of tunes. We are going to play a stack of tunes for you on a folk
guitar and we want you to honestly rate them, 0 to 10. We've written some,
and Mary and Beth have written some. Don't vote something a 10 unless you
think it's a hit.

I lit a cigarette as Mary handed out note pads to everyone and Debbie picked
up a folk guitar and handed one to Mary. We played the left over tunes, and
some new ones, about 25 in all. We started with a weak one and they all gave
it a 9. I said, "That's a 7. Listened to a 9." We played one that we recorded
that only charted at 10. Kathy said, "That was a hit." Brandy said, "Nope. It
only made it to number 10 on the charts."

They understood now and were critical on the tunes and talked about each one.
We ended up with 11 that were tens and 8 that were 9.5s. I said, "Now lets
play your tunes again and vote on them. Kathy played them and sang and
everyone voted. They were 7s and I said, "Lets try to make then 10s." Brandy
took out her notebook of chorus hooks and we found one that fit perfectly
with one of the tunes. We had Kathy play it instead of her chorus and
everyone gave it a 10.5. We all decided that the other two need major surgery
and it wasn't worth the time to do it.

I said, "We need you to learn all of these tunes in the next few days. We'll
give you a tape of them and work with you also." Debbie got our cheap tape
recorder and we record the songs into it along with Mary and Beth's songs. I
filed out the forms and wrote a check. Chet said, "I'm going to start
charging a percentage for this." We were smiling as he said, "This tape is
worth millions."

We spent the rest of the day and through dinner working with them, getting
down the basics. Brandy loved Danica's voice. I said, "Lets call it for
tonight and pick it up tomorrow morning at 9." Margi said, "This is starting
to sound good already."

We spent the next two days helping them learn the material and doing the
arrangements. All it needed was tightening up as a band and Chet arranged for
them to move to a rehearsal studio for two more days before they went into
the studio.

We went to the CMAs and had a blast just like last year. This year there is a
full festival in May, and this was just the award show. Dane played the
opening number and then we did our monolog again. This time Debbie out did
herself this year and we had trouble not laughing as we talked from our
notes. The audience was howling. We ended the monolog with the top ten things
you must do to be in a country band. When Debbie said, "Sleep with your
brother or sister" everyone was howling. Tammy was blushing and we couldn't
stop laughing on stage. Then she said, "Ignore reporters when they ask you if
you're bi-sexual." Everyone was cheering for us and I said, "That one hit
home." Debbie said, "Grade your performance for the night based on how many
panties are thrown at the stage." We saw Jerry backstage laughing.

Her number one thing was, "Be active in the CMAs!" Everyone was clapping and
I said, "Before we bring out the first presenter, we wanted to announce that
the CMA festival is over Memorial Day weekend this year and 18 bands and
artists including us, will be performing in the country music portion. It's a
fun three days that ends with a day of Blues and Jazz. Now for our first
presenter, our very good friend, Jerry Pride." Everyone stood and clapped as
Jerry walked out and hugged us. He said, "19 panties is our best show this
year." Everyone was clapping and cheering.

We went to our seats and really enjoyed the show. We won another 6 awards and
Bob was laughing at us. Jerry won two, Dane won one, and Georgia Passion won
best new act. Chet also got two and Margi got another one for most country
CDs sold.

I wrote a note to Bob that said, "13 more awards tonight. Can the company
afford it?" He got the note and smiled as he nodded yes.

Two days later, our new band was in the studio and we helped them get
started. Chet took over from there and said to us, "They are really good and
the material is killer. I'll call you before we do the master."

We got home and Margi called us and said, "Bob invited all of you and the
other top bands with me and Carrie to Hawaii for four days. It's an executive
vacation and party, but we get to play in a golf outing which should be a
total piss since none of know anything about it. We leave tomorrow morning at
8 on the company jet." I said, "Sounds like fun."

Brandy called us and was so excited about Hawaii and was talking a mile a
minute to Jerry and Barb who were over at her house. I said, "Come on over
for dinner tonight. You can all stay and we'll leave from here in the
morning." In fifteen minutes they were all at our house with their bags
packed. Debbie said, "That was a speed record." Mary and Beth were excited
about it too and Mary whispered into my ear, "Beth and I are going to go to
bed and make love all night. We'll see you in the morning."

We had a few beers and then had dinner together. Brandy looked at Barb,
Jerry, and Jim as she said, "Can I tell her?" Jerry said, "She can know about
it." Brandy said, "Barb and Jerry have been sleeping with Jim and me and we
want you two to join us tonight. Jerry and Jim get it on together too."
Debbie said, "Oh my God is that hot." I smiled and said, "Lets go upstairs
now!" They were all laughing and Barb said, "There's plenty of time. We have
all night."

We finished eating and had cigarettes with another beer. Debbie was a piss
and kept asking Jim and Jerry about what they do in bed. Every time one of
them said something she said, "Oh damn that sounds hot as hell." Barb was
cracking up. Barb stood up and said, "Lets go. You're killing me." Debbie and
I were laughing as we all went upstairs to our bedroom.

It took about a minute to get naked and all of us were on the bed. We paired
up into couples and Debbie and I were getting into each other. We kissed and
didn't notice anything except each other as we rubbed each other's clits. I
sucked her nipple as she moaned, "Ooooo, that feels good baby." We got each
other off in a few minutes and then Debbie lay on top of me in a 69 position.
I was in paradise as she licked my pussy.

Debbie and I got each off to the point we were moaning and orgasming non-
stop. Debbie lifted her head and turned around on me. She lay on top of me
and kissed me, and then said, "Check this out honey." I looked over on the
other side of the bed to see Barb and Brandy in a 69 and Jerry and Jim
sucking each other's cocks, lying on their sides.

I was so hot and so was Debbie. We sat up and caressed each other and then
got involved with Barb and Brandy. We watched the guys as we caressed each
other. Brandy was sucking one of my nipples and Barb said, "You get to be the
first sandwich after the guys cum." Debbie found my spot and I was bouncing
my pussy on her hand as we watched the guys jerk and spasm as they were
shooting into each other's mouth. They both swallowed and then sucked each
other hard again. I was flooding the bed as Debbie made me crazy.

Barb moved me so I was sitting on Jim's cock in my pussy and then Barb spit
on my ass and licked it. Jerry knelt behind me and pushed his shaft into my
butt hole and I was going wild. I was still orgasming from my spot and it
just didn't stop as they fucked the shit of me. I wanted this to last forever
as Debbie was kissing me. They changed my position so I was sitting on Jim
with his cock up my ass and Jerry lay on top of me and fucked me in my pussy.
Debbie stood over my head and I licked her pussy for about 5 minutes and then
they got me up and put Debbie in my place.

Debbie was going crazy and I stood over her head spreading my pussy lips to
let the cum drip into her mouth as she licked it up. Barb and Brandy were
going nuts watching Debbie lick the cum pouring out of me and then knelt next
to me and were fingering my ass. I had four fingers inside of my butt and
then I said, "Get out the dildo and do me." Brandy took out our toys from the
nightstand and she fucked my ass with an 8 inch dildo. I loved it and Debbie
was going wild.

The guys had us get off of them as they were ready to cum again and Barb had
me suck off Jerry and Debbie sucked off Jim. I felt Jerry's cock pulsate and
ooze cum into my mouth. Then it shot out with a blast and he grunted. I held
it all in my mouth and watched Debbie doing the same thing. I lifted my head
and so did Debbie. We moved to lay together and swapped the cum between us
and swallowed. We were so into each other again as Barb and Brandy were
sucking the guys hard again.

Debbie took out Spike and she kissed me as we put it in our pussies. We
pushed ourselves together until our pussies touched and we both moaned at the
top of our lungs as we started a kiss. We fucked our brains out with Spike as
Barb and Brandy did what we just did with the guys. This was hot beyond
belief as the guys sucked each other off as they were ready to cum. Barb put
her open legs under our heads and Debbie and I rested our faces on her thighs
as we licked her pussy and fucked with Spike.

Brandy knelt next to Barb and was all over her and said, "Honey, lets use
Gizmo. He's has a hard on and is calling our names." As hot as Debbie and I
were at that point, we both started to laugh and then moaned as we moved our
pussies together. Barb moved her legs and we kissed as the two of them used
Gizmo next to us and the guys were out cold.

Debbie and I were in our own Hawaiian paradise for about two hours as our
pussies were cumming nonstop. Spike hits our spot and it's unreal. Barb and
Brandy were kissing and still fucking using Gizmo. Debbie reached for the
nightstand and put a cigarette in her lips and handed me one. We lit up and
sat up against the headboard as we watched Barb and Brandy in total heaven
together. I took a drag and then whispered into Debbie's ear, "Lets ask
Carrie to schedule Jerry to play the concerts with us. This will be hard to
separate." She blew out the smoke and said, "I agree honey, plus it's hot as
hell." We were both giggling as we sucked on our cigarettes.


CHAPTER 18 - HAWAII AND THE NEW TOUR


The next morning we all were laughing at each other as we had breakfast. Mary
and Beth thought we were nuts and then Barb told them all about last night
and they were pissed that we didn't invite them in. I said, "You were the
ones that told me you were going to make love all night. We didn't want to
bother you." Mary said, "There are exceptions to every rule and this was one
of them." Brandy was still giggling as we finished our breakfast.  I said,
"You mind if I tell Carrie to change our schedule before the tickets go on
sale to have Jerry play with us most of the time?" They all said, "Do it!" I
called Carrie before her and Margi left for the airport and I said, "I hate
to do this at the last minute, but can you change the tour scheduled so that
Jerry plays with us most of the time? I'll explain why later." She said,
"Sure. See you on the plane."

A company limo came to pick us up and the driver carried our bags out to the
trunk. We all took the short ride to the private airport and drove onto the
tarmac to the company jet. We were expecting some small plane and this was as
big as the planes we normally take. There were couches, instead of the small
seats and it was like a huge living room. A person was asking us what we
wanted to drink and everyone asked for a beer. She said, "For breakfast?" We
all nodded and I said, "Where's Bob?" She said, "There are five planes going
to Hawaii. He's on one of the other ones. This is it for this flight. Just
you guys."

It was a long flight but we could do whatever we wanted on the plane. Nobody
cared. Debbie and I lit cigarettes and put our feet on the reclining section
of the couch as we sipped our beer. We talked to Carrie quietly and I told
her all of it. She said, "No shit! Now I know why you didn't tell me before.
Can I tell Margi?" I said, "Sure."

Carrie went to talk to Margi and Margi came back and had her eyes bugged out
and was smiling. I said, "You have no idea hot it was to watch them." She was
cracking up and then just smiled and walked back to sit with Carrie.

Mary brought her folk guitar in the plane and Beth was telling her the lyrics
of a song they were working on. We listened to them and Debbie said, "That
one is going to be good when it's done."

We ate lunch and a dinner snack on the flight before we landed in Hawaii. It
was still morning there due to the time zone change and we were tired. There
were a fleet of limos waiting for us on the tarmac and we were driven to a
resort hotel. This was so beautiful. Someone from the company gave each of us
an envelope as we checked in and said, "Join us on the veranda at 3:30 for
cocktails." We looked at the clock and it was 11 and Debbie said to me, "Lets
get a few hours sleep honey."

We went to our room and it was very nice suite. Debbie set the alarm for 3
and we laid down and conked out. It felt like the alarm went off in a few
seconds as we jumped up. I said, "I guess we should have sleep more last
night." Debbie put her arms around me and said, "And miss all of that
outrageous sex? Watching Jim and Jerry do it for the forth time was getting
us so hot." We were both smiling as we went into the bathroom to get cleaned
up.

I read the stuff in the envelop to Debbie and said, "This should be a blast.
Lets go have cocktails with the guys that keep us employed." She was smiling
at me and grabbed my hand as we locked our room and went to the elevator.

The veranda was packed and Bob saw us and started to introduce us to people.
Everyone told us they loved our music and then he dragged Jerry to met some
women who were in love with him. We died laughing. They served some light
food and drinks for about an hour and then Bob asked us all to sit at the
tables and he went to the podium and said, "Welcome to our first annual fun
and games get away. I thought it would be really fun to have some of our top
performing artists share in this with us just to prove their human too. I
know they all seem like superheroes, but they are all very nice and have a
great sense of humor. We are going to do a Hawaiian style dinner tonight one
the beach, and then tomorrow all of you get a complimentary free set of
Titalist golf clubs, get a two hour lesson, and then we play a scramble
outing. The afternoon is yours to do with as you like, which includes the
private nude beach on this resort. We have a tour planned for the next day of
the different islands, and a whole list of various activities you are all
welcome to participate in. The rules for this trip are simple. Have fun, and
what happens here, stays here." Everyone was clapping and standing up.

Debbie said, "In that case, lets have some Hawaiian drinks. That rum one
looks great." We order two of the big ones in a coconut. After three of those
drinks we were flying and giving out top ten reasons to be a famous country
star. We had everyone in stitches as Debbie's first reason was, "You get to
watch your best friends have sex in your bed." I thought Bob was going to
piss in his pants.

Carrie dragged us to the beach and it was so nice the way it was set up.
Someone brought us another drink and Debbie said, "These are lethal. Give me
a smooch baby." I kissed her as a few people looked at us. I put my finger to
my lips and said, "ssshhhh" and then kissed her again. They were smiling at
us.

The dinner was fantastic and the show at night by the light of the burning
torches was amazing. We watched belly dancers, hula dancers, and then fire
jugglers. Then a Hawaiian band played as we danced. Debbie and I loved it as
we slow danced in the sand bare foot. Margi and Carrie were right next to us
and as drunk as we were.

We had a few people help us back to the hotel as we were trashed and they
were laughing at us. Debbie said, "I can still sing like this. Watch me." She
was singing one of our songs so off key, we all died laughing. We found our
room again and set the alarm, got naked, and then fucked our brains out with
Spike.

The next day was funny beyond belief. We had breakfast and then every one
went in limos to the golf course where each one of us had a set of clubs.
Good ones too. Our lesson was a riot and someone videotaped it from the TV
section of the company. On my first golf swing the club went farther than the
ball. The guy giving us lessons was laughing. We learned to not be total
dorks, and it was still funny as hell.

Bob put out a team list and the object was to pair up some of the performing
artists with the executive staff. Debbie and I played with his head of
television operations and the top TV producer. They were both golfers and
they thought watching us struggling was priceless. By the fourth hole we were
actually getting the hang of it and they used 9 of our shots in the scramble.
We had no idea what we were doing. One of them handed me my 8 iron and said,
"This is the club to hit." I said, "I like the one with a 6 on it better."
They were laughing and I said, "What are the numbers for anyway?" Bart, the
head of the TV company, said, "It teaches people to count. Just hit the ball
to the flag on the green." I hit it towards the green and they were cracking
up. I said, "Was that good?" Debbie said, "Kate honey, that went in the
hole." We did a little dance and Debbie kissed me as the guys were almost
peeing in their pants.

We finished the scramble golf round and had so much fun. We also got half
trashed again on Mike's hard lemonades.

Everyone met at the resort in the outdoor pavilion and Bob had an awards
ceremony for golf. There were hundreds of pictures he had on display that the
photographers had taken and he had several blown up on display. One was of us
missing a shot. He said, "We have everyone's scorecards and the winners of
this year's scramble is team seven." Debbie yelled, "Oh my God. That's us! We
suck at this." Everyone was laughing and Bart was laughing so hard he
couldn't talk. He had us stand up with him and Bill and go to the podium.

He was telling everyone about our golf game and we were laughing. Then he
said, "Kate had an eagle on hole 6, and Debbie had four birdies. She hit the
shot and sunk the putt. It definitely helped, but they had no clue what they
were doing. We told them the numbers on the clubs were to teach kids to
count." Barb yelled, "You mean that's not what they're used for?" Everyone
was cracking up and our prize was very nice; free use of the company jet for
a fully paid vacation week anywhere. There were four other prizes all very
nice. Everyone stood and clapped.

We went back to the hotel and Barb, Brandy, Jim, and Jerry went to their room
together with Mary and Beth. Debbie and I went to the nude beach with a bunch
of the other people and we had a blast learning to surf. When we got out of
the water everyone wanted us to sing the beer song so we did, as someone
brought down a keg for all of us. We were half trashed and two of the A&R
managers wanted to know how we build a band the way we do. Debbie winked at
me said, "We have no clue. If you can figure it out let us know."

Debbie and I had a barbeque rib dinner on the beach and loved it. Linda and
Melissa came down to join us after horseback riding, and the four of us were
getting trashed and telling jokes. Everyone loved the funny things that
happened on tour and were all laughing when we told them about the panties
being thrown at Jerry.

Debbie and I were getting a little too drunk and she gave me and big wet
kiss. I kissed her back and said, "I think we need to go to our room." One of
the women said to me, "I think your relationship is great."  Debbie and I
went to our room and made love for hours.

The rest of the Hawaiian vacation was great. We did the tour, went horseback
riding for half a day on one island, and got blasted at the beach drinking
rum in coconuts.

When we got home, we talked to Chet and he said, "We're all set to do the
master. How was Hawaii?" I said, "You have an hour? We'll be over to listen
to the tunes and tell you all about it." We had Chet rolling on the couch
laughing as we started with our golf game.

We listened to the recordings as he did the final mixes and we liked them. I
said, "Tune three is a single and so is seven." He said, "I agree. We'll run
them off separately also for duplication. Check out the jacket and cover." I
opened a folder to see the proofs and Debbie said, "Kathy looks horrible in
this shot. Lets have this one redone." Chet smiled and said, "I told them
that and they didn't believe me. Thanks." I said, "Crooked Road is a cool
name for the band. It's different."

Chet finished the final mix and he burned us a CD. We listened to it and I
said, "You do damn good work." He said, "You make this very easy. You showed
them everything and wrote the songs. You know that this will be another mega
buck group. How are you planning to get them out on tour?" I said, "They are
playing with us in two weeks for our first gig as a middle act for a half
hour. Then they do it again with Dane and Georgia Passion the next week.
Carrie has a tour schedule for them prepared that takes them by buss to the
gigs and hooks them up with us every month for some big venue exposure."

We went home and then called Kathy and had her get the band over to our house
for dinner. We had them come into the studio and I said, "This is the final
CD. Listen to it and let me know if you hear anything that you don't like
before we go into production." Gretchen  brought us all sandwiches and some
drinks and then I put on the CD. We listened to all of it again and I thought
it was terrific. Kathy said, "This is unreal. You made us sound ten times
what we thought we would be like." I said, "Blame Chet for that one. He's a
magician at the mixing board." I told them about the cover picture retake and
Kathy said, "We already did it this afternoon."

We talked about our plans for the tour and they loved it and then we talked
about a stage show, as they had none. I called Chet and asked about that
choreographer we used and he was laughing and said, "Louie?" I said, "Yeah,
that's him. You have his number?" He gave it to me and Debbie made the call.
She was trying not to laugh and said, "Tomorrow morning would be fine. Let me
you give you the address."

After Debbie hung up she burst out laughing and then explained what they were
in for. I said, "You can't laugh at him. He's a total fruit cake, but great
at what he does. Once he finishes than we'll build you a full show. Have all
of you seen one of our concerts?" None of them had and Debbie said, "Have a
seat in the den. It's time for a video lesson of what it's like on stage."

We showed them a tape we had of one of our televised concerts that had
Georgia Passion, Jerry, and Dane playing also. I said, "People pay up to 650
dollars a seat to be entertained. You have to keep them interested in the
show all night. Just playing music isn't always enough." We watched the three
hour tape and I stopped it several times to explain why we did certain things
and also why Jerry and Dane did things. It was starting to sink in that this
was hard and Kathy said, "We need time to practice this too." When they
watched us doing one of our slow tunes it was so emotional. Kathy and Danica
were crying and I said, "That sells CDs and fills the house at a gig. Look at
the audience's reaction to it."

It was almost midnight as I said, "We have plenty of time to work on this
part of it. Go get some sleep and meet us here in the morning. If you want to
join us for breakfast, be here about 8." Kathy said, "There is so much we
don't know yet." Debbie smiled saying, "We didn't either when we got started.
It's easy once you get the hang of it. Just don't laugh at Louie tomorrow."

Debbie and I went to bed and Mary and Beth walked into our room as we were
kissing. Mary lay down on me and gave me a big kiss and said, "We want to
make love to the two sexiest people in the world." She had a copy of
Entertainment Magazine and show us the story and pictures of us. We cracked
up as we lit cigarettes and sat on the bed reading it. Beth said, "This is
the top twenty sexiest women. You two made one and two. Brandy is fifth. She
read part of it to us, "Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin can show up at the
Grammy awards wearing open shirts with blue jeans and still be considered
best dressed. They glow with sexiness that is unreal when you are in their
presence. They're gorgeous, but that's not what makes them so attractive.
It's their down to earth pure country nature, the ability to say what's on
their mind, and coupled with an incredible sense of humor. The fact that they
are two of the best musicians on the planet doesn't hurt either."

Mary and Beth attacked us and we loved it. Beth and I were in a 69 position
for about an hour and then Debbie and I made love with Spike, next to Mary
and Beth using Gizmo. Our orgasm party lasted for about two hours and then
Debbie and I cuddled, kissed, and feel asleep next to Mary and Beth who were
still going at it.

The band joined us for breakfast and Louie showed up at 9, as we were having
coffee. He said with a lisp, "I see you leaned how to develop your own show.
I was so overjoyed with your TV special. My stars, was that wonderful." Kathy
was smiling and we gave her the look. She nodded trying not to laugh. We took
them all into the studio and I said, "This is about the size of most large
stages. If you need anything, just call. I'll have Gretchen bring you in food
and drinks. We're going to do a quick trip to the store and then we'll be
back."

We took out the Corvette coupe and went shopping for a few things and then
came back home. I bought some pastries and carried them into the studio and
we watched the band learning to do dance moves. Gretchen brought us in some
coffee and we lit cigarettes as we watched Louie work with the band.

They took a break and had coffee and some of the orgasmic French pastries we
bought. Kathy was trying so hard not to laugh at a few things that Louie did
and we were dying.

Louie finished up with them around 1 in the afternoon and he left as he
skipped over to us and said, "Thanks a gazillion for the phone call." We
waited for him to shut the front door and then all of us sat on the couch and
laughed for about 10 minutes. Debbie had Gretchen bring us in some food and I
said, "Show us what you learned to your CD."

Kathy put on the CD again and they pretended to be playing their instruments,
acting out each song. Some of it was pretty good and we watched the whole
show. Debbie said, "Now lets look at each tune and decide how you will go
from one into the next on stage. Lets do the set list first." We did their
set list and they looked at us like we were from Mars. I said, "There's a
reason behind this madness."

We spent the rest of the day getting the show down to where they could do it
like it was a real show on stage. There were still a few things that it
needed and the guys were so beat. I said, "Go get some sleep and we'll pick
it up again tomorrow. I want to show Kathy, Danica, and Janice what we're
talking about from some taped concerts." The guys left to go home and we went
into the den. Debbie started with some of our older skits and then we showed
them a Christmas show that was televised. We found the skit and showed it to
them and Kathy said, "Leave it on. You started my favorite song, "All I want
for Christmas is you." We watched it as I sang to Debbie and she put a bow in
her hair and a ribbon across her chest. When I finished the song, we could
hear all the cheers from the audience screaming to kiss her and I did on the
tape. I was one hell of a long French kiss for a concert and Debbie said, "Oh
God do I remember that."

Kathy, Danica, and Janice were starring at us and Kathy said, "That was
really hot. No wonder you two were on top if the list in that article this
week." Debbie said, "That was staged. This is hot." She wrapped her arms
around me and we kissed, and I melted in her arms. She slid her hand inside
of button down shirt and caressed my breasts, as I wasn't wearing a bra. We
broke the kiss and I whispered into her ear, "Honey, I want to go to bed with
you now." I wrapped my arms around her and she was melting as I kissed her
the way she did me. We completely forgot about the band in the room with us
and we looked up as I said, "Sorry. We kind of get involved whenever we do
this." Kathy was snuggled close to Danica and Janice was too, on the other
side. We watched Kathy slowly kiss Danica in a wet tongue out kiss. Danica
broke the kiss and whispered, "That was nice." Then she leaned the other way
and kissed Janice the same way. Kathy leaned over both of them and kissed
Janice as soon as Danica broke the kiss. We were getting hot watching this as
Danica was now caressing Kathy's breasts.

Debbie kissed me again and then she said, "How about you three join us in our
bedroom?" They were hanging on to us as we walked up the stairs and into our
suite. Kathy said, "This is my first time with a woman." Danica said, "Me
too." Janice smiled and said, "Me three."

We showed them slowly and made this as sexy as possible for them. Debbie and
I were dripping wet in about 5 minutes. The three of them were so into each
other, we just let it happen as we made love.  After about a half hour we
decided to break out the toys. We stared with finding each other's spot and
we make Kathy pass out. Danica was laughing her ass off and then she sucked
out the cum from Kathy's pussy. Janice was into fucking herself with the
dildo that does your ass and pussy at the same time, as Danica and Kathy used
Gizmo. Then they changed partners over and over again while Debbie and I used
Spike to set us off like Niagara Falls.

After Debbie and I were cumming nonstop, we showed them the proper way to eat
pussy and we drove them all nuts. I licked Janice until she was bouncing on
my face as Debbie showed Kathy how to make Danica cum in a few minutes. Then
they ate the two of us. Damn did they learn fast.

At 1 in the morning we stopped to have a smoke and Kathy had pussy juice all
over her face. Danica was laughing about it as she lit a cigarette and Janice
crawled over to lick it off. This was seriously hot. I took a drag of my
cigarette and blew out the smoke saying, "So, how was your first time?" They
were giggling and Danica said, "Fuck the boyfriends, those useless pieces of
shit. I've never cum like this in my life. Plus they're bugging us about the
band. They're fucking jealous." Kathy said, "I was going to tell Roger to get
lost tomorrow anyway. This makes it so much easier." Janice said, "I already
left a message for Todd that I was dead." We started to laugh at that one and
then they were kissing again. They wanted to know about our sex toys and I
said, "We'll order you three of everything through the internet in the
morning. You didn't try the best one yet, as we always hog it. We call him
Spike. It's Gizmo's bigger brother." Kathy picked it up and smiled at Danica.
They put out their cigarettes and tried it as we listened to them moan in
orgasms within a few minutes. Then Janice got into the act with Kathy and
then with Danica.  Debbie blew her smoke out and kissed my ear as she
whispered to me, "I want to keep going baby. Just us." We got into a 69
position and ate each other totally numb. Then we cuddled and conked out.

The next day we finished the stage show for the Crooked Road, and then set up
a rehearsal studio for them to work on the music and the show each day.
Brandy, Jim, Jerry, and Barb came over and we slept with them again. This is
so fucking hot; we can't get enough of it. Carrie and Margi wanted blow by
blow descriptions the next day and Debbie talked for about an hour, as all of
us got wet.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We kicked off the new tour schedule and it was so easy. Before the weekend
shows, Margi did a press release about the new mega group we built and they
had two songs getting airplay and one was already in the charts at number 9.

Our first date was in Nashville as Dane and Georgia Passion were in Memphis.
We did one show on Friday and one on Saturday. The Friday night show had
Jerry opening it up and then we had The Crooked Road play 6 songs. Dane had
them play at their show in Memphis the next night, and both times they were
terrific. The next week we played Memphis and Dane played Nashville and we
both had The Crooked Road play with us again. We all loved how this worked.

Carrie set up Kathy and her group with the buss tour schedule and we all
wished them well as they left on Tuesday for the first gigs heading south.
They joined us again in Raleigh and then again Charlotte and it was one
terrific show. They now had two songs in the charts and one reached number 3.
We took them out to celebrate.

Debbie and I had so much free time we loved it. We wrote two new CDs worth of
material, and also spent quite a bit of time at the local clubs in Nashville
and also in Memphis on Beal Street just listening to music and goofing off.
Debbie and I dressed up with our hair pulled back tight, fake glasses,
horrible dresses, and played as a duet in one of the clubs as an imitation of
the real us. We did one of our songs and everyone clapped. One of the bands
said to us, "If you learned how to dress and fixed you're a hair a little,
you would make a pretty good impersonator act. The singing was little off
though." We laughed our ass off as we hit every note perfect. We left and got
rid of the disguises and then back into the club to have a drink. The same
band came up to us to tell us about the wonderful impersonators that were
there earlier and we just missed them.  Debbie put on the glasses and we
almost pissed in our plants as the band was turning every shade of red.

Margi got stuck again with the winning band from the contest and we gave her
two tunes for the CD. She was laughing hysterically when we got a bootlegged
copy of the software from the hacker web site and used it again to fix the
singing. The music was okay on this one. I think Chet laughed for about a
half hour when we played the final CD for him.

The first five weeks of the tour went by like it was nothing. We all felt
great and decided to take a week of fun in Hawaii again using the free use of
the company jet. I said, "Kathy, Danica, and Janice are working their ass's
off which is how we were last year."

When we all showed up at the corporate jet, the pilot called Bob. He was
laughing and said, "I guess the gas costs the same no matter how many are on
the plane. Enjoy it. You earned it. By the way, Margi told me about what you
did for the CD of that band that won the contest. Thank you, but please don't
tell anyone about it."

We played golf again and this time kept score the right way. We had a blast
and were so horrible. We played three times and the last time I managed to
break one hundred. Debbie arranged for a beach party for all of us to
celebrate. We were all so tan from the nude beach and we did finally mastered
surfing on the smaller waves. Surf over 7 feet and we all choked.


CHAPTER 19 - CMA FESTIVAL


We did the second five week tour and it was a breeze. The shows were much
more crisp and we did a bunch of new funny skits. We had so much energy we
were like lunatics on some of the tunes and the crowd loved it even more.

We could tell that Kathy, Danica, and Janice were getting really tired and I
said, "After this one, you stop for at least four weeks. Promise me!" They
all promised and I said, "Besides, you're playing with us at the CMA festival
and we can't have you falling asleep on stage that week. Plus we have new
material for you to learn for another CD." I called Carrie and told her. She
said, "I was wondering how long they would last. I didn't even schedule the
next ones yet as I kind of had a funny feeling about it. The last time I
called Kathy, she was asleep at 1 in the afternoon with Danica and Janice."

The last gig on this tour was another NASCAR outdoor concert with all five
bands. We made a small fortune on this one and Carrie was laughing her ass
off. We sold over 50,000 copies of our CD alone. The Cooked Road CD was now
going platinum and Margi was as happy as it gets. All of us were getting
hooked on the NASCAR races and we only missed two races so far this year.
Debbie and I slept with one of our NASCAR drivers after one of the races. We
kept saying to him, "Slow down. This isn't a race!" He was useless after an
hour and we just laughed and made love together most of the night.

When all flew back home together we had a doctor check out Kathy's band. He
said, "You got them just in time. Another week or two and they would have
been like you were last year." We had them move in with us for a week and get
pampered. Gretchen made them eat every bit of food on their plates. We even
played airplane with Kathy one night at dinner to get her to eat. They all
enjoyed it and so did we.

We got our VIP passes to the CMA festival and the times for all of the shows.
The Crooked Road was on just before Jerry and they were so excited. I said,
"You made the big time. Fourteen acts are on before you. You are with us to
close out the country part of the show.

We did something different for the festival and I entered us as a new blues
band called, Beal Street. No one knew it was us except for Carrie, Margi, and
our bands. The band was me, Debbie, Danica, Linda, and Dane. We practiced for
a whole day and learned 12 blues tunes and they sounded great. I played the
blues harp a lot and keyboards, and all of our bands were laughing at us when
we put on our disguises for the show. We all wore black men's suits with our
hair pulled back tight, blue styles hats you still see in Chicago, and Debbie
and I wore our glasses. Everyone looked at us and Jim said, "No one will ever
know. What a piss." I said, "Until we take off the disguises in the last song
when Debbie and Danica play that fast Stevie Ray tune and then all of you
walk on stage and we end with the beer song played in a blues style. Show
them Danica." She played it and we all played our parts as Jim said, "Damn,
is that good."

Margi and Carrie came over to hear us play and they were laughing at the
disguises and then sat and listened to us play. Margi said, "This is great
music. I had no clue all of you could play like this. Wow!" We told her what
we were going to do and she said, "You will be in every magazine for this
one. What a great idea."

We spent the next three weeks recording our new CD, Dane's, and Jerry's.
Georgia Passion and The Crooked Road go in after the festival.

The first day of the festival was a blast. We saw tons of the big acts that
we just couldn't see before because we were always playing. Debbie said, "The
music is good, but no one has a show like any of us." We ate all types of
home made country foods and shopped for a few hours at a giant outdoor flea
market that had to be two miles long.

The first night show ended at 10 at night and the emcee announced the acts
for tomorrow and the crowds were cheering. We couldn't wait until we went on.

The next day, the place was so mobbed, there was almost no place to sit. We
had a reserved area for the bands and it was solid people as far back in the
fields as we could see. We decided to eat Georgia style ribs for lunch and we
all were making orgasm sounds as we ate them. Margi was cracking up and
turned on a portable cassette recorder. She played it back for us Jim said,
"Sounds track for a Porno flick. Now we know how they recorded it."

The bands started after lunch and the shows were getting better also. We
loved Travis Tritt and Tanya Tucker. The Crooked Road went on at 5 in the
afternoon and this was the first time we actually got to watch their show
from the audience. We couldn't believe how good they were and the crowd was
going berserk. Margi said to Debbie and me, "You created that. Be proud." We
stood and clapped for them and really got into the music. Kathy and Danica
sang a song to us and we were blushing as they changed the words to say, "We
owe it all to you. Kate and Debbie."

Everyone gave them a standing ovation on the last tune and then Jerry went
on. His show was wild and the women were running towards the stage to throw
panties at him. He loved every second of it. We were sitting with Barb as she
laughed and counted all of them.

Georgia Passion's show was as good as it gets as they worked the audience
like we do. No one sat down the whole time they played. They also told
everyone to make sure they saw a great new blues act tomorrow called Beal
Street. We died laughing.

Dane was on next and she kept everyone on their feet and the place was
hopping. It was also as packed as it could get. There were people on top of
each other to get closer to the stage, and we loved watching her perform
also.

We got the nod to get ready just before her last number and she waved to us
as we went behind the stage. Dane got a long ovation and cheering and then
she walked off the stage and said to us, "It's wild. All you see is people
forever." The techs handed us all of our gear and as the emcee was talking
about us. The cheers were so loud we couldn't hear a thing. Debbie was
laughing and said to me, "This is better than NASCAR." We hear a huge scream
and knew that was our cue so we started with our current number one hit that
was combination of country and rock and roll. Everyone, as far as we could
see, was singing along in the chorus and moving to the beat.

We did our normal show and threw in a new skit that was funny as hell. We
arrested Jim for impersonating a police officer and he starts out singing one
of our new tunes, "Don't lock me up." People were laughing and singing along
again.

We did one new tearjerker slow song that was going to be our next single and
the place was as quite as could be when we sang it. The cheers when we
finished were deafening. Margi waved to us and we knew exactly what she was
thinking. That was the sound of cash registers ringing.

Everyone was screaming for the beer song so we ended the show with it by
asking every band that played to come one stage with us and do it together.
The emcee announced each band as they walked up and the stage was packed. We
were all laughing and I said, "Just fake it and have some fun." We let Travis
and Tanya sing parts and the place was screaming. Jerry sang a line and the
women were all screaming again. We all were laughing as we let the audience
sing the chorus. Dane said, "You created a cult with this song. It's
Amazing." We ended it to everyone on stage laughing and the audience all
standing and cheering loud.

The emcee waited for the screams to stop in about 5 minutes and then told
everyone about the show tomorrow. Dane was yelling into a mic, "Come see Beal
Street. They're great!" A few of the groups asked us about that band when we
walked off stage and we told them what we were doing and asked them to not
tell anyone until the show was over. They were all cracking up.

The next day we got there to hear the Jazz bands first and they were so
boring. We ended up shopping at the flea market. Our act was on at 8 at night
and we had another rib dinner with all of the bands as we listened to some
terrific Chicago blues and then some Texas blues. Then we went into one of
the dressing room trailers to get ready with our disguises.

We walked out to the backstage area and no one recognized us, except the
bands that were in on it and they were all laughing and cheering for us.

The emcee introduced us and Kathy started everyone cheering as Dane played a
bass blues pattern run down and Linda came in playing a shuffle Texas beat
with a loud bass drum pedal and snare cracking. I blew the blues harp and
Debbie did one hell of riff, followed by Danica playing something even
harder. People were screaming, "Stevie Ray! Stevie Ray!" as Danica started
singing. She sounded just like Janice Joplin when she sang with a rough
voice. I played some organ and then piano fills as Debbie was hammering out
blues licks and Danica was outrageous. Everyone was standing now and cheering
for us as we played the first tune.

We didn't talk much to the audience as they would recognize our voices as we
did other things to create a show and it worked. Danica made her guitar sound
like it was talking and then crying as people were cheering. Then Debbie did
it also and the guitars sounded like they were having a conversation. We were
all laughing on stage as we went into a classic Chicago blues tune that we
all sang harmony in. The singing was as good as it gets and people were all
standing and cheering and moving closer to the stage. It wasn't as packed as
last night, but it was close.

When Danica played the intro to a Stevie Ray Vaughn tune, the place went
nuts. Then Debbie came in and played the next part of the solo and the cheers
were like last night. Danica belted out the vocals and we did some
interesting background harmony along with the organ. They let me do a blues
harp solo in this one and I walked to the front of the stage and did it on my
knees as Debbie was trying not to laugh. Margi and Carrie were standing and
cheering with everyone else.

We started the last number as the group was walking backstage to come on. We
each took of our disguises as we played and the crowd went completely wild.
The band walked on stage with us and we went into the blues version of the
beer song and everyone was up and dancing.  We couldn't believe at how this
went over and were smiling as we played. We ended the song and everyone was
standing and cheering like last night. We all waved and then the emcee
screamed into the mic, "Kate Rodgers, Debbie Austin, Linda Storm, Danica
White and Dane Winters at Beal Street!"  The cheering got louder and we all
waved as we walked off the stage. The other bands all were hugging us and
laughing. One of the other country groups said to us, "Amazing. We loved it.
You should release the beer song like that. It kicks ass." Margi was next to
them and said, "Amen to that one. I want that recorded as soon as you can."
We all hugged her and she was laughing about it too. The press was taking
pictures of us and Margi said, "They were taking pictures of the entire show.
You were a big hit. You should give an interview and tell them it was just
for this show."

Debbie and I gave an interview to billboard and I said, "We had a fun idea
for the show, so we did it. We are going to release the beer song the way we
did too, as so many people liked it. We all love playing it that way." The
reporter was laughing and said, "No one had any idea it was you other than
people were saying that your band was the best musicians they ever heard. You
really were outrageous. Debbie and Danica are two of the best guitar players
I have ever heard. Your keyboard playing is amazing and so is your blues
sharp. Linda is one of the best drummers to ever play blues and rock, bar
none. She did stuff that Ginger Baker use to do in Cream back in the 1960s.
Danica's voice is like magic with this music. I can't say enough. What a wild
act. I would hate to be in the band that's going on next." We all got sick to
our stomach, as we didn't even think of that.

The crowd was still cheering so loud the next act couldn't start and the
emcee asked all of us to come on stage again and take a bow. We did and the
place went nuts again. People were screaming out, "Debbie and Danica are
Guitar Gods!" We all laughed as we walked off stage again and then sat in the
audience as we lit cigarettes. I took a drag and said to Debbie, "We had so
much fun doing that. What a great idea you had." She smiled at me and said,
"My next idea is to make love to you all night honey. That was the best we
ever played on stage."

The next band finally started and they were pretty good, but the audience
didn't like them at all. Margi said, "This is too bad. They're not bad at
all, but everyone just heard one of the best blues shows ever. This is a let
down." Hardly anyone clapped for them and they played one of the tunes we
did. Debbie said, "That was really stupid" as people were booing. We clapped
and were just about the only ones.

This band was so depressed as they left the stage, we felt horrible for them.
The next group was great an everyone got back into it as they did ZZ top type
of stuff and we were all dancing to it. We waved to them and the lead guitar
smiled at us and yelled, "Great show!" They ended the last song of the CMA
festival and then the head of the CMAs came on to give a short speech. He
said, "We definitely had an interesting surprise tonight. Kate, that was
brilliant but you can't get an extra award for this festival." People were
laughing and he went through the activities and them told everyone about the
one for next year. We all stood and clapped as they officially closed the
festival for this year.

The band that was on after us was so pissed. Debbie apologized and one of the
top artists said loud, "What are you nuts? You have nothing to apologize for.
You were great! They should be apologizing to the audience for their horrible
performance." The band got even more pissed and left. Debbie felt bad and I
said, "We really don't have to apologize. Travis is right."

We hung around outside with most of the other bands from all three nights and
drank beer and joked around. Everyone wanted to be in one of our concerts
with us and Carrie said, "We'll make it happen. Give me a call." She handed
out her cards to everyone and we were all smiling about it. A bunch of other
artists that didn't perform at the festival came to sit with us and were all
laughing about our blues act. A guitar player in one of the other acts that
we all think is the best player on the planet came over and bowed to Debbie
and Danica as he said, "You are both guitar Gods. No doubt about it. I have
never seen anyone play what you did, without a single mistake and so fast we
couldn't see your fingers moving. You have my vote." Debbie was blushing and
said, "We both love your playing."

The whole night was compliments to each band as this was the first time any
of the acts got to see the other perform a whole show live. They all wanted
to know how we come up with the lunatic ideas we act out on stage and Debbie
said, "It helps if you're naturally nuts. We are definitely certifiable. Who
else would have done what we did in a blues show?" They were all laughing
about it.

All of the bands signed autographs for a while as the police let people come
up to where we were by the stage and it was fun. At least 10 people wanted
Debbie and Danica to sign their guitars. We all were laughing about it.

We had another beer with the bands and then we all hugged and said goodbye to
everyone around 1 o'clock in the morning, as the place was almost completely
empty.

Debbie and I had one hell of a night in bed. We made love all night and I was
begging her finger my strings and make we sing like her guitar. She loved it.
We fucked with Spike for over two hours and then ate each other senseless. We
passed out at 6 in the morning with our faces covered in our cum.

We woke up at 2 in the afternoon when the phone rang and Debbie answered it.
I heard her say, "Sure mom. We're still in bed. We'll call Chet as soon as we
get up." "In a little while. We have unfinished business in bed first." I
heard Margi laughing through the receiver as Debbie hung and then rolled on
top of me. She said, "Lets make love honey." She kissed me and I wrapped my
arms around her and I melted inside. Debbie rolled off of me and lay between
my legs going down on me. She licked and sucked me into paradise. Then I went
down on her and made her totally crazy as I used my hand to find her spot
first and then ate the thick cum for over 20 minutes. I climbed on top of her
and she wrapped her arms and legs around me and rolled us on our sides. We
kissed for about 10 minutes and then we lit cigarettes and I said, "So what
did your mom want?" Debbie said, "The press went crazy with our blues
performance and she wants us to record the beer song again today or tonight
so she can get it out as soon as possible. She said we are all over the
news."

We got up and did our morning routine and then went downstairs to eat and
called Dane, Linda, and Danica and they were laughing about it. I said,
"We'll all make some extra money with this single. I'll call Chet and I'll
see if we can do it in about an hour."

Debbie called Chet and he was laughing more than we were. He said, "Anytime
you want. I'll be here." We called everyone back, invited everyone in all of
the bands to watch, and then finished our breakfast at 3 in the afternoon
before we went to the studio.

We recorded it just like we played it last night and it was unreal. We
overdubbed the vocals, but did everything else as a live performance. It only
took an hour to do the whole thing. Chet was doing a rough mix and said,
"This song really kick ass. The performance on every instrument is off the
charts. Danica's voice is perfect for blues. Listen to this."

We sat and listened to the song and all of us had our mouths hanging open and
then were smiling from ear to ear. The rest of the bands were there and they
were all clapping for us. Chet said, "This one will get me the Grammy next
year and I didn't do anything."  He did the final mix and then called Margi
to the studio. We had her sit with us and Chet said, "Put on your seatbelt
for this one." He played the final version and it really kicked ass. Margi
said, "We'll release it tomorrow and promote it as a cross over, rock and
country. This is a mega hit."

Debbie and I went home after everyone was congratulating us on being a one
hit wonder and we were all cracking up. We walked in the house to see
Gretchen in the den watching TV and had on a shopping game show. We watched
her from the foyer and she was getting so excited about some of the things. I
pulled Debbie aside and said, "She treats me better than my real mother ever
did and I feel so attached to her. She cares for us and nursed us back to
health before. She's like family. I want to take care of her for life with a
trust and let her enjoy some of what we have now. She gets excited over the
smallest things. Debbie, we pay her next to nothing." She whispered back to
me, "I love her like family too honey. Lets talk to her together."

We waited until her show was over and then in about 10 minutes we walked into
the den. We sat down and I said, "Gretchen, we want to talk to you for a few
minutes." I could tell she was getting nervous so I said, "This all good
stuff" as Debbie and I went to sit next to her on the couch. Debbie said, "We
love having you here and feel like you are part of our family. You take care
of us, when we can't even do it ourselves." I said, "You have been better to
me, than my real mother was years ago. Gretchen, we never want you to leave
and want you to share in some of things we have. I now we don't pay you
enough and we're fixing that tomorrow. I'm also going to set up a bank
account for you with a nice balance in it, and you can shop forever if that's
what you want to do. In any case, you'll never have to worry about money
again." She hugged us both and I wanted to cry. She was so nice and had to be
at least 55 years old. I said, "Tell us about your family."

She was so proud as she told us about her son and daughter then started to
cry when she told us how he died in an automobile accident with his father.
She was hysterical when she said, "My daughter was abducted when she was 4
years old, and we never found her."

She regained her composure and said, "You're the daughters I never had.
That's why I took this job. I had a house with no one in it and that's not a
home. It's just a place to live. I appreciate what you're doing for me, but I
have money." Debbie said, "Do you have any idea how much money we have?" She
said, "I guess about a million dollars or so." I said, "Gretchen, we have
over 229 million in the bank and in investments. We make over a 100 million a
year. We want you to share in some of that too." She was in shock and Debbie
said, "Like I said, we think of you as family and never want you to leave."
She was crying and hugged us both and then we started to cry. She wiped our
tears and said, "Dinner's ready. You two need to eat." We walked with her as
she had her arms on our shoulders. We sat in the kitchen with her and ate
dinner.

The next day we set her up for life and wrote out a very nice card. We went
back home at 9:30 straight from the bank and we sat her down in the kitchen
and I said, "We want to have this." I gave it to her and she opened it and
said, "My God Kate. This is way too much money. What would I do with it?"
Debbie said, "Whatever makes you happy. Just please don't give it away. This
is for you." I also told her that the Benz she was driving we put in her name
and she was smiling. She said, "I always dreamed about winning the lottery
and what I would do with the money. Now it's real, and all I want to do is
buy a few small things for the home." Debbie had a tear in her eyes and
sniffled as she said, "It is a home with you here with us."

I told Margi what we did for Gretchen and she was crying with us. She said,
"You did the right thing. She's the mother I never had too. Lets include her
in all of our family things from now on."

We stayed home and goofed off for a few more weeks. The beer song made it to
number one on the country, pop and rock charts and Margi was laughing about
it. She wanted Dane's band, our band, and The Crooked Road to play it in
concerts and it just didn't work. We needed the five of us to do it the same
way so we set it up that we do it at concerts that we all play together,
which is mostly NASCAR, and make it the last song of the night. We started
the weekend tours again and we did a NASCAR concert. The beer song was a hit
beyond belief and we all laughed about it afterward.

Debbie and I wrote a song called, "When a house is a home" and we played it
for Gretchen. She cried on our shoulders afterward and I said, "We feel the
same way. This will be a hit when we record it." Gretchen said, "I've never
seen one of your shows live. You think I can go to one of them?" Debbie said,
"We play in Atlanta this Saturday night for NASCAR concert. Make the trip
with us. I think you're going to be very surprised at this."

I called Carrie and told her that Gretchen was going with us and she said,
"I'm going too. I'll sit with her in the front row. She'll love this." We
told Gretchen and she was so excited about it. Then Carried called to talk to
her about it.

Debbie and I had one of the most passionate nights in bed ever that night. We
caressed each other slowly for an hour and we were on sexual overload. Then
we went wild on each other for hours. I must have swallowed a pint of her
pussy cum. I was so addicted to it and made her cum a few more times as I
licked and swallowed. We feel asleep kissing, which was a first for us.
Debbie woke me up in the morning and said, "That was so nice last night
honey." She hiccupped and we were laughing as she hiccupped again and said,
"I drank so much of your cum last night I got the hiccups." I kissed her as
she hiccupped into my mouth and we both were laughing. I jumped up and
yelled, "look out!" It scared the shit out of her and the hiccups stopped.
She said, "Good cure. Now restart my fucking heart for me." I said, "This
will do it. I went down on her and ate her pussy until she orgasmed twice
into my mouth. I lifted my head and said, "Is it beating yet?" She pulled me
up to her face and kissed me as she rolled me on my back and was all over me
for about 10 minutes. I loved every second of it.

We flew to Atlanta on a Friday evening with Margi, Carrie, Gretchen, and all
of the bands and their partners. We stayed in the Hilton for the first night
and then went to the NASCAR outdoor event for the sound checks, while Margi
and Carrie took Gretchen shopping in Atlanta in one of the limos. Gretchen
was in heaven.

Our sound checks took forever as we found out this was being televised on the
sports networks that cover NASCAR events. After the last sound check, we got
the Beal Street band together for our one and only hit to play it as a
practice and also to let the engineers set the levels. Darla was yelling,
"The one hit wonders." We all had such a good time goofing on this." The flea
market vendors were all setting up and all of us went shopping.  Debbie and I
got some really sexy looking blouses and the vendor asked us for our
autograph. Danica was looking at the new shirts and then looking at our
boobs, over and over again. I was smiling and she said, "That will look so
hot on you."  I whispered into her ear, "How is sex between the three of you
now?" She whispered back, "I can't believe what we were missing out on all of
this time. We sleep together every night now and it's terrific."

It was about 3 in the afternoon now and people were starting to show up for
the concert already. Margi called my cell phone and said, "How about we bring
a diner for everyone to the concert and we'll take Gretchen to the flea
market." I said, "Sounds good to us." We told everyone Margi was bringing
dinner for all of us they all were licking their lips. Debbie said,
"Sometimes we act like total idiots, but I still love it."

Margi had so much food for us in the trunk of the limo. We had dinners and
appetizers, and deserts, and two cases of ice-cold beer in coolers. Gretchen
said, "This place will be filled with people to see you?" I said, "Us and the
other bands that you all know. The flea market is pretty cool. You should
check it out before it gets mobbed."

She was smiling from ear to ear as Margi put her arm in hers and Carrie was
on the other side as they took her to the flea market. All of us ate the
diner and had a beer at the tables set up behind the stage.

We were joking around and weren't paying any attention to the time. The emcee
said, "Crooked Road you're on in 5 minutes. Get ready." They ran to the stage
and I said, "Lets check out the crowd." We walked back to the stage and then
around it to see the audience. It was mobbed and we waved to Margi, Gretchen,
and Carrie sitting front and center. All of the lights were already on and
the emcee took the stage. We hear a huge pop from the PA system and he
started by welcoming everyone to the NASCAR concert series. The roar from the
crowd was deafening and we laughed as Gretchen mouthed the word, "Its so
loud!"  The emcee announced who was performing and the cheers got even louder
when he said, "Southland and a special one song ending by the Beal Street
Band. Now on our stage, The Crooked Road!" The roar was deafening as Danica
start the tune with a guitar lick.

They put on a great show and the crowd was so into it. Gretchen was into the
music big time and we got such a kick out of it. A TV camera focused on her a
few times along with Margi and Carrie and then was panning the huge crowd.

Everyone did they're show perfectly and was so on tonight. The crowd was more
into the music than we have ever seen. They were dancing and singing along,
as the beer was flowing from the kegs. We make money on that part of it too,
and we love people to drink at these gigs.

When Dane did her last tune, we went on the stage, as she was walking off. We
all did the high five thing and she said, "The crowd is so into the music
tonight. We loved playing this one."

We got the big build up and the screaming introduction as the roar from the
crowd was like a jet plane in your face. Linda screamed "1,2,3,4" to us so we
could here it and we started the first tune.  We did our normal show but did
a few more new skits. We arrested Jim in this one again and the crowd was
howling. We did one of our brand new hits and a few old ones too.

I said into the mic, "We have a guest with us tonight sitting in the front
row, and we wrote this song about her. It's a slow one and will be released
in a few weeks. Gretchen, this is for you and it's called When a house is a
home." People were clapping when I started the first verse with no music and
then Debbie comes in with harmony. The band comes in and then we do the
chorus with 6 voices that always end with, "That's when a house is a home."
It was a very moving song and we could see the emotion on people's faces.
Gretchen was crying and clapping for us the whole time. The middle of this
song changes and it give us chills every time we play it. We saw the reaction
from the crowd and it was like we turned on everyone's tear faucet all at
once.

The song builds to the ending and then Debbie and I sing the last line
acapella and hold the last notes when we sing "She made our house our home."
The place was dead quite as we sang the last lines and then everyone stood
and the clapping was as loud as we ever heard it in a concert. Gretchen was
crying and so was Margi and Carrie as the three of them hugged. Linda started
a fast song beat and Debbie said, "Thank you. That song has a special meaning
to us. Now here's a kick ass tune that I think you may recognize." Gail did
some drum stuff and then she hit four bass drum beats and we started our
current number one hit. The place went wild as Debbie and I just looked at
each other smiling. Bandy was singing and she walked over by us and kissed us
both on the cheek as the crowd cheered each time. She put on a great show and
then we all came in with harmony and on this song. It sounded so cool.

We did our last normal song and finished it to a standing ovation again. I
said, "Don't go anywhere yet. We have one more song this evening and it is
with a special band that we cooked up as a joke for the CMA awards. We called
ourselves the Beal Street Band and played blues all night. Please welcome
back on the stage Dane Winters, and Danica White." Brandy said to us, "This
show was amazing. Damn did that song make me cry tonight. Kick ass on this
last one."

We got ready to rock and Danica started it like a Stevie Ray song and the
place was screaming as loud as it gets. Debbie and Linda came in, and I blew
the blues harp. We jammed out a little to give them a good show and then did
the beer song. The place went totally berserk singing and dancing everywhere.
People loved this stupid song. We each did a solo in it and when Debbie and
Danica did theirs, people were screaming "Guitar God!" I did a honky tonk
style piano solo to get us back into the verse and I got the screams too. It
was amazing.

We had a blast and sang the tune. We did our classic Stevie Ray ending and
the roars from the crowd were so loud we had to cover our ears. We were all
laughing about it and we were thanking the crowd. We walked to the front of
the stage and waved and touched peoples hands that were now all leaning
against the stage to see us.  Debbie announced into the mic who was going to
win the NASCAR race tomorrow and the crowd screamed again when she said named
our drivers. We stayed on the stage for while and then had all of the bands
come back on with us and wave as the screaming was getting louder. The emcee
came back onto the stage and told everyone about being careful if they were
driving home and then said, "Or you can sleep here in the field if you want."
The cheers were loud on that one and we all laughed.

Margi, Carrie and Gretchen made their way to the side of the stage and then
they showed their IDs to get past the police barricade to where we walk off
the stage. Everyone got a big hug from each of them. Gretchen hugged Debbie
and me and wouldn't let go. I said, "Did you like it?" She said, "This was
like a dream. I can't believe how famous you are. I had no idea. You are the
best performers I have even seen in my life." She hugged us again and then
said, "Thank you very much for that song. I was deeply touched by it." I
said, "We meant every word of it."

She walked with us to the tables behind the stage and we sat and lit
cigarettes, as Brandy handed us each a cold beer. I said to everyone, "Great
show everyone! This one was special. I loved the crowd." Jerry said, "Every
time Beal Street plays they get better. I hope it's contagious." Debbie said,
"It's called we finally practiced the song." Everyone was laughing and Margi
said, "That screwball song is already double platinum and those numbers are
from two weeks ago. What a wacky way to have a hit record." Everyone was
starting with the one hit wonder cracks again and we were laughing.

I heard Gretchen say, "Are they always this relaxed with so much pressure to
play in a place with this many people?" Margi said, "Nothing phases them.
They actually like it better if there are more people.  Every single one of
them loves being on stage and they make it look so easy and natural. Scary
isn't it?" Gretchen smiled and said, "You got that right. I would crap in my
pants if I had to be on that stage." We all were laughing at that comment.

The police were moving the barricade so we could sign autographs so we went
to the front by the yellow saw horses and signed some of everything for about
a half hour. Debbie and I had our first ass signing. We each signed a cheek
of some guy and Margi thought it was the funniest thing she ever saw. Carrie
took a picture of it.

We all walked to the 6 limos that were parked behind the tables. Debbie and I
rode with Margi, Carrie and Gretchen and the limo went slow through the
crowd. We rolled down the windows and waved to people as Debbie yelled out,
"We'll see everyone at the race tomorrow."

Debbie and I lit a cigarette as we went to the hotel. Gretchen said, "I still
can't believe the show you put on. This was unbelievable." I said, "And you
thought we were just two nutty singers." Margi said, "You are." We were all
laughing and she said, "Really talented nutty singers and musicians."

We got back to the hotel and Debbie and I sat with Margi, Carrie, and
Gretchen in the bar for a few minutes and then Debbie and I went up to our
room where we made passionate love to each other.

The next day all of us went to the VIP tent for the traditional Brunch and
Bob was there waiting for us. He said, "The show last night was the best I've
ever seen all of you. Excellent. This reduced tour schedule seems to make all
of you sound better and have more energy." One of our drivers was there and
he walked over to Gretchen and she screamed, "Roger?" He smiled and said,
"The one and only. I'm so sorry about Bobby and the accident." How are you
getting along?" She told him about us and he said, "I'll be damned. Small
world." Gretchen said to us, "My son Bobby was a race driver. Not in NASCAR,
he was in open wheel Indy cars and it used to make me so nervous when he ran
on the track. Roger was his team mate the last year before he died. The
accident that killed him and my husband was on the racetrack. John, my
husband was in the pits and the cars ran out of control and hit him. I was a
basket case for a long time and this has been the best therapy I could have
ever asked for. Kate you a Debbie are like magic to me."

Roger dragged Gretchen over to met Bob and he said, "I remember Bobby. What
brings you here?" She pointed to us and said, "They're the daughters I never
had and probably the nicest, most sincere people I have ever met."

We sat and ate and were joking around with Brandy and Linda. I said, "I'll be
glad when the Beal Street Band song fizzles. I was fun as a joke, but the
joke's over now."  Debbie said, "I second that one. It's becoming a
distraction. I want the fans to focus on Southland, not Beal Street." Margi
heard us and said, "Make last night the last gig for the one hit wonders. We
already made a shit load of money on it." We toasted her with our grapefruit
juice. Danica heard us and was laughing and said, "Thank God. It was fun at
the CMAs, but this is getting too serious."

Margi made a toast to the timely death of the Beal Street Band and we all
cheered. Bob was cracking up and said to me, "Was that really meant to be a
joke?" I said, "Yeah. We had no idea what would happen with that song. We
loved the music we recorded on the CD single, but we thought it would flop.
It's a total piss how many have sold."

We started talking about our golf in Hawaii on our week vacation and he was
so into our goof ups. Debbie was telling him about my favorite rock wall
behind one of the greens that I hit every day we played, and he was cracking
up.

The race started and Gretchen was worse than Debbie yelling at the drivers,
except Gretchen really knew racing and we loved it. She got on the headset to
the car and said, "Roger, line one is too low and your drifting into turn two
too high. The track will have rubber marbles in about an hour and you'll be
into the wall. Move the apex later and accelerate out hard." We heard him
say, "Thanks mom." Gretchen was laughing as she handed the headset back and
then sat with us and said, "I haven't done that in four years, but he was
going to get hurt the way he was driving the track."


We watched the race and we all got into it. Gretchen was a total lunatic
screaming at the car and we handed her the headset. She was laughing and
said, "Roger, it's your mother. Listen to me!" We were laughing as she told
him where he was loosing time on each lap. He almost caught up to the leader,
and managed a second place finish.

Bob was having a blast watched Gretchen with the driver and he said, "If you
ever want to run a pit crew, there's a job waiting for you. She smiled and
said, "I have a job that I love, but thanks for asking."

After the race we all went to the airport and flew home. The next morning
Debbie and I sat with Gretchen at breakfast and I said, "We both want you to
know that you really don't have to cook for us. Let us hire someone and you
can boss them around. We want you to stay here and take care of us. I love
you like you're my mom." Gretchen smiled as she looked at me and said, "Kate,
I'm cooking. Not another word about it. Listen to your mother! And if we do
need to hire someone, I'll pay for it." From that moment on I called her mom,
and so did Debbie, Mary, and Beth. Gretchen was as happy as it gets.


CHAPTER 20 - CHANGING OF THE GUARD


We finished the tours that year and made a bigger fortune that the previous
year. All of us made double in the sponsorship deals we had. The Beal Street
Band died a horrible death, and the radio stations would not let the stupid
song die. It was in the charts for 23 weeks. I said to Gretchen, "Why didn't
you try to stop us from doing this?" She said, "You wanted to joke around and
show off your talents. The problem is that you are all so good no one will
let you forget it."

We did the next year's tours and had so many hits it was almost funny.
Everyone counts on us getting at least 5 Grammy's and CMAs. All five bands
are as rock solid as it gets and we're performing about half of the material
Debbie and I write, and the other half from Mary and Beth. We all like their
last batch of songs better than ours.

At the last NASCAR Concert of the year, I got my first total embarrassing
moment on stage. It was over a hundred degrees outside and humid as hell.
Debbie, Brandy, Linda, Gail, and me all took a pair of our jeans and made
them into real short cutoffs before the show. We wore them with light tee
shirts, no bra, and flip-flops. The crowd went nuts with our sexy new look
and it was still so hot we were drinking ice cold beers on the stage.

About half way through the show we were sweating like racehorses. Brandy and
Debbie both took a cold beer, shook it, and popped the can open a little to
spray my shirt with it.  The cold beer felt great but we were all total
shocked when my tee shirt became completely transparent. The audience went
wild as Debbie and Brandy were laughing their ass off. Debbie opened the beer
completely and poured it over my shirt and then kissed me on stage. The place
went nuts and then I had to pull the shirt from being molded to my boobs and
nipples. The press had a field day with it as someone took a picture that
looked like I was naked. It ran on the front page of one of the weekly trash
rags with the caption, "Sexy doesn't even come close to describing it."
Debbie cut the photo out and hung it next to our Grammy's.

Debbie and I never hid anything from Gretchen, but we also didn't flaunt it.
We became as open with her as it gets and she saw us make love one night
while we were in the Den, strictly by accident. She sat with us afterwards
and said, "Can I tell you a story about me?" Debbie and I lit cigarettes and
she sat next to us saying, "Before I had my son, Bobby, I was as wild as it
gets. I was with another guy and a woman that I was madly in love with. Dave
never knew Bobby wasn't his son and I never had the courage to tell him. I
kept in touch with Brenda, who always had my heart, and then we just lost
touch with each other 6 years ago. She got remarried again and moved, and I
lost her address. Watching you two, reminds me of me. Don't ever be
embarrassed to show emotions for someone you care about. I think your
relationship is terrific."

Debbie said, "What is her new married name, and what state did she move to?"
Gretchen said, "The name is Bartolli and she moved to Kentucky. I remember
her saying it's about an hour away." Debbie took out a map and we drew on a
section on it that was an hour from where Gretchen use to live. Then we got
on the internet and started searching. After an hour we were ready to give up
and Debbie said, "What was her maiden name?" Gretchen said, "Her original
last name was Patrick. Why?" Debbie just smiled and started all over again as
we watched. After about 20 minutes she said, "Bingo. If it's her she moved to
an apartment and is living under her maiden name about 20 minutes from here.
What to call her? I have the number."

Gretchen said, "Oh my God, it can't be her. What would I say after all of
this time?" I said, "I'll give you the same advice you gave us. Don't ever be
embarrassed to show emotions for someone you care about." She picked up the
phone and called the number. We heard, "Hi. Is this Brenda Patrick? The same
Brenda Patrick that lived on Long Valley road?" We saw tears in Gretchen's
eyes and as she said, "Honey, it's me. Gretchen." She was hysterically crying
and talking for what had to be an hour. Debbie and I felt so good for her.
She said, "Come on over. I would love to spend the day together." She gave
her the address and then she hung up. Debbie said, "We're cooking for you two
and don't say no. Listen to your daughters!" Gretchen hugged us for about 5
minutes and cried on our shoulders and thanked us.

A half hour later Brenda came over and she was a gorgeous woman about the
same age as Gretchen. They hugged at the front door and both had tears of joy
in their eyes. Then they kissed like we do and Brenda said, "Oh Gretch, it's
been so long. I never stopped thinking about you through all of the years."
Brenda looked at us and was sort of star struck. She said, "Kate Rodgers and
Debbie Austin? You are my all time favorite." We gave her a hug and I said,
"Come on in."

Debbie and I made some coffee and the four of us sat at the kitchen table and
we told Brenda how we got to know Gretchen and that she was now our adopted
mom.  The two of them were glowing and laughing, and holding hands. We
listened to Brenda tell about her last marriage being a total disaster. She
said, "Gretch, I never got over you and I was impossible to be around. Even
my kids told me I should be committed." Gretchen told her about her son and
husband, and the two of them cried together.

I said, "We're going to leave you two to be alone. How does veal sound for
dinner? You are staying Brenda, and don't tell us no!" She smiled and said,
"You bet I'm staying."

Debbie and I went to the store with Mary and Beth, and left Gretchen and
Brenda to be alone. We stopped at a catering place we used before and I said,
"Can you come to the house tonight and bring that veal dish you made for us
last time?" Plan on it being for 15, so we have left over." The four of us
did some real shopping that we needed to do and then we went back home.
Gretchen and Brenda were upstairs in Gretchen's room with the door closed and
we just smiled.

I invited Margi and Carrie over also and we were all sitting in the den when
Gretchen and Brenda came downstairs around 5:30 holding hands just as the
caterer was pulling up. I said, "We have a special dinner for you two."
Gretchen introduced Margi and Carrie and the two were so obviously in love.

We had a great dinner and they couldn't stop starring at each other. I said,
"Brenda, we have tons of space in this castle. Not to rush things, but if
decide you want to stay here, even on a permanent basis with Gretchen, you
are more than welcome to move in." The two of them kissed and Brenda said,
"That would be so nice. Thank you."

After dinner we were all having some wine and feeling it a little. Carrie
said, "Margi and I have some news also. We are both officially going to
retire. Mary, I want you and Beth to take over CDA management and productions
as your own business, if you want it. I'll help you with everything, but you
do most of it now anyway." Mary and Beth were smiling from ear to ear and
Margi said, "I already told Bob and he's not happy about it, but he is
looking for a replacement for me. Part of the interview process will be for
all of you to meet the person and help make the decision of who my
replacement should be."

After dinner, Brenda and Gretchen went upstairs and Margi got us on the phone
with Bob. He said, "We are going to interview candidates and then I'm going
to tell the one's were are serious about to meet some of the our top artists.
They won't know it's an interview and you should be able to give us some
feedback. It's so hard to tell when we do the interviews, as everyone tries
to act the way we expect them too. The first one will be next Monday. I want
you two, Brandy, Jim, Dane, Danica, Jerry, and Kathy to met him and talk in
one of the conference rooms and then call me together from there afterwards."

On Monday, Bob called us in the morning to remind us and he said, "We have
not made him an offer yet. Call me after you're done." We all went to the
office and Margi sat us in the boardroom and then brought in the candidate.
She did the introductions and then left the room. James, the candidate, said
to all of us, "Looks like I'm going to be your new boss. Let me tell you how
I run the company." He went on to tell us that we were all expendable and
nothing more than the hired guns behind the goods they sell. I said, "If I
have to work for you, I'll retire now or go to another label. You're a
fucking asshole." Everyone stood and clapped for me and I called Margi on the
intercom. She came in and said, "Everything alright?" Jerry said, "We're
finished."

She gave us a funny look and walked the candidate out and then came back and
said, "What happened? That took less than 10 minutes." I said, "Get Bob on
the line. You won't believe it." We told the story and Bob said, "What a
dickhead. That's why we're doing the interviews this way. We wouldn't have
found that out until after we hired him and then had to fire him. We have
another one in the queue for tomorrow, if you're available."

We did the one the next day and this time the resume we read before he came
in didn't match what he was telling us. Debbie picked up on it immediately
and started taking notes as we talked. He was a nice guy, but we all thought
he was full of shit. After the interview was over, Margi came in and I said,
"Hold off on calling Bob for a few minutes. Jerry make that call in here and
lets check him out."

Jerry called one of the popular performers that he got to know who was signed
to the label the candidate runs now. We all listened in to the conversation
and Jerry read him Debbie's notes. Tim, the performer, said, "What a fucking
liar. This guy has done nothing since he's been here. The person you want is
Michele Grant. She really runs the place and it sounds like that is her
resume." Jerry said, "Thanks Tim. We'll see you next month at the show we're
playing together." We called Bob and he said, "I'll see if I can get Michelle
in for an interview. You guys missed your true calling. You should have been
private detectives."

We went back home laughing about it and filled in Gretchen and Brenda. Mary
and Beth joined us as Brenda made us some lunch. Mary was talking about how
much the cost of the tours is going up because of insurance and some other
things and Gretchen said, "This may be a long shot, but why not try getting
sponsors to sponsor parts of a tour? Think about it as selling them the
commercial rights to advertise and sell to the people that come to the shows.
Racing and Golf have done that for years." Gretchen went on to explain how it
could work and Mary said, "The Bank of America Southern tour or the Chevrolet
Mid-West concert series. Gretchen you are a genus. If we pull this off, you
just became an equal partner with us in the company."

Gretchen and Brenda were laughing about it as Mary and Beth went into the
study to start making phone calls. We were still in the kitchen having coffee
and joking around when Mary came back in an hour later and said, "You won't
believe what we have lined up already. We just need to get contracts in
place, before it's a done deal. We approached everyone you already have
endorsement deals with and they are all interested. The way it will work is
that the tours are 100 percent paid for, before we sell a single ticket. We
even make a small profit. This means that all of shares will be enormous.
Gretchen, you earned a full stake in this company."

Gretchen was a nut case dancing around the kitchen with Brenda. I said, "Now
will you let me hire a cook?" She was smiling and said, "No way! I'll hire
the cook." We all were smiling and we noticed that Gretchen looked so much
younger than she did a month ago. I said, "Having Brenda here definitely
agrees with you." She smiled and said, "You can say that again."

We interviewed Michelle Grant and she was so much like Margi. We all loved
her. We also recognized her from a few of our shows and she was smiling as
she said, "I love your music." We left her in the room with us as Margi sat
down and we called Bob. I said, "Hi Bob. Michelle is here with us and we love
her. Debbie thinks she's her mom's long lost sister." Jerry said, "But she's
got horrible taste in music. She likes Kate and Debbie." Everyone was
laughing and Bob said, "Michelle, if you can put up with this, we would love
to have you join us. I'll call you this evening and we'll discuss it." She
said, "Thanks. I'm looking forward to it."

Margi spent the day with Michelle and we went with her as she did some of the
introductions. Chet knew her already and said, "Great to see you again. You
will love some of the new ideas these groups are working on." Michelle said,
"Just keep getting those Grammy's. How many you have now?" Chet said, "Almost
as many as Kate and Debbie, and I had a twenty year head start. What's wrong
with that picture?" They are giggling like old friends and Margi winked at
us.

We went home and Debbie said, "We found our new boss and I like her. Lets
celebrate in bed today honey." We walked in the house and Brenda and Gretchen
we sitting with Mary and Beth and I said, "Debbie is going to tell me bedtime
stories today. We'll you later." We walked upstairs as we heard them laughing
in the kitchen.

I took off my cloths and stood next to Debbie as she was undressing and I
held my breasts in my hands. I said, "You have to be nice and tell my tities
a hot story. They like that a lot." Debbie was smiling and lay me down in the
bed as she was talking to my nipples. I was smiling she made up the hottest
porno story that had everyone in it. We were all adult film stars and she
called Jerry, Jerry Holmes. I lost it laughing and then she licked my nipples
and sucked them gently. I completely melted as I held her head to my breasts.
She was licking around my areoles and then flicking her tongue over my erect
nipples as she sucked lightly. I was in heat and said, "Let me do you now
honey." I licked her breasts the same way and also caressed her pussy and
clit. Debbie was moaning softly, "Go down on me honey. Please, do it to me
now." I went down on her pussy and ate her for what had to be over a half
hour as I alternated fist fucking her to find her spot and then licking up
her thick cum.

Debbie did it to me next and I was bouncing on the bed into her fist as I was
moaning so loud, "Do it faster. Of yeah, faster. OOOHHHH! OOOOOOOHHHHH! I
cumming again. OOOOOOHHHHH! Oh baby, lick me again now. Ooooooo, yeah, lick
me. Mmmmmmm, that feels so good with your tongue inside me."

Debbie made me totally crazy and I was begging her to suck the cum out of me.
Then we fucked our pussies together using Spike until we were so exhausted we
couldn't even move. Debbie was breathing heavy into my ear and whispered, "I
love you so much. Kiss me again." I kissed her in a long wet embrace as we
danced our tongues together. Debbie broke the kiss, pulled Spike out of us,
and then crawled on top of me in a 69 position. We ate each other into what
had to be 20 orgasms that were one right after the other.

Debbie lifted her head off of my pussy and said, "Do that again honey. Oh did
that felt good." I sucked her entire pussy into my mouth again and she shook
in a huge orgasm, and then collapsed on top of me. She was moaning softly and
slowly crawled off of me and then lay against me as we kissed. I ran my hand
through her hair and then softly caressed her face as we starred into each
other's eyes. I said, "I would love you even if we were flat broke and had to
sleep on the street. Debbie, you make my world go round." She kissed me again
and then smiled at me. She sat up a little and reached for the nightstand to
get our cigarettes, lighter, and an ashtray. She shook out two cigarettes
from the pack and put one in her lips and one in mine, and then struck the
lighter to light both of them. I sucked in a deep drag and held in the smoke
as I inhaled again and blew the smoke out through my nose. Debbie took a drag
and blew the smoke into the air as she said, "Lets get up. I had an idea for
two new tunes."

We stayed in bed and finished our smoke, and then got up and put on our short
tight cut off jeans and tee shirts without any underwear. This always got us
both so hot. I could see her pussy when she bent over and I was on fire
again.

We went into the music studio and Debbie took out some paper and started to
write the words like she was writing a letter. Then she said, "We need to put
this in verse form and change some of the words. Here goes." She read it to
me and I picked up a guitar and played a melody and she said, "I love it. Do
it a little faster." This was a rock country tune and Debbie said, "Sing the
word `busted' with me followed by `red pickup' and `gun rack'. Then yell with
me at the end of the chorus `Love sucks!' You got it?" I was smiling and had
no idea where she was going with this one. Debbie played the guitar and we
did it. It rocked and was really catchy. We put the verse and chorus together
as she played the guitar. Beth came into the studio and said, "Cool tune."

We spent the rest of the day writing two new songs. The second one was about
giving all you have, even if you can't always come in first place. We all
loved the words in that one.

The next day Margi called us and said, "Michelle starts in two weeks and I'm
finally free. Feel like going to Puerto Rico with us for 3 days?" I said,
"Sure. We should ask Gretchen and Brenda too." Margi said, "Carrie already
did before you guys were up, and they want to go too."

Over the next three weeks, we spent a day with Michelle when she started and
then we spent 3 days in Puerto Rico with the crew. We had a blast and gambled
for hours one night. Debbie and Gretchen are the luckiest players ever at
craps. The casino closed the table because we won too much.

When we got back from our trip and then packed an overnight bag for our first
Chevrolet Concert tour in a series of 8. These were all huge events that
rivaled the NASCAR concerts and we had our five bands in the first one. Mary
and Beth did a brilliant job of pulling this off. It was in one of the
largest indoor arenas and they had cars set up around the floor for fans to
look at and advertising everywhere. The flea market was half Chevy stuff. We
also wore Chevy tee-shirts when we went on. Actually Debbie and I had a
Corvette one that we really liked.

The concert went terrific and Brenda got her first taste of what it's like in
the big leagues behind the stage. She was in awe the whole night as her and
Gretchen stayed with us until we went on stage and then they went to their
front row seats to watch our show. Michelle flew out to see the entire show
also and was cheering louder than anyone for all of us. We loved it.  We did
some pretty cool new things in the show including the song that Debbie wrote
called "Love Sucks!" I was an audience sing along and they have to scream,
"Love sucks!" at the end of the chorus. What piss this turned out to be. It
was another beer song.

After the show Michelle came backstage and the first words out of her mouth
were, "As soon as you get back we have to record that song Love sucks. I can
hear the cash registers ringing now. By the way, great show." Debbie and I
were laughing and I said, "Did Margi tell you to say that?" She said, "No
why?" Debbie said, "Because that's word for word what she said to us about
the beer song." Michelle smiled and said, "Great minds think alike." She was
a trip and had some good suggestions for Georgia Passion and they loved her
involvement.

We flew back the next day and recorded the tune on Sunday. Chet was laughing
about it and said, "This couldn't wait until Monday?" I said, "She thinks
it's another beer song." He said, "I doubt it, but lets do it anyway."

We started the recording at 3 in the afternoon and had it finished at 5. All
of us triple tracked the vocals screaming, "Love sucks!" Chet did a mix and
said, "It really is another beer song. This one will run for a long time.
Michelle wanted me to call her to her the final. Lets get her in here to do
the master as it's only fitting that she should have to give up part of her
Sunday also." We were all laughing as Chet called her to find out she was
already in the building upstairs. He called her cell and she was talking on
her cell phone as she walked into the control booth and tapped him on the
shoulder. We were all cracking up and loved her sense of humor.

Chet did his magic with final master and we all listened. Michelle said,
"Damn are you good with mastering a session." Chet said, "With this type of
talent it's easy. The rough is about as perfect as you can get it." Michelle
said, "Lets have a pool for a buck each. How many copies will this sell in
this first two weeks it's out?" We all picked a different number and she
wrote them down. Then she gave us her number and I said, "I hope you're
right, but I will be very surprised. I'd pick that number in 4 to 6 weeks."

The single was released on Monday and it was a big hit, which we all knew it
would be. Our next weekend concert we really played it up and everyone was
screaming "Love Sucks!" so loud it was deafening. On the limo ride home from
the airport we heard an advertisement for our band and the single and I
called Michelle on her cell phone and said, "You cheated. You didn't tell us
you were going to advertise the single. You just wanted to win the pool." She
was laughing and so was I as she said, "It looks like it's not going to make
it anyway. Probably half way between our two numbers. We'll split the pot."

The next week was a big NASCAR concert also co-sponsored by Chevy, and this
one had 8 bands and started at 3 in the afternoon.  What a deal Mary and Beth
made. We paid the bands a guarantee that was really low and we pocketed all
of the profits from the crowds they draw. They sold 225,00 tickets and we all
flipped out when we heard the number. It was held in a natural outdoor
amphitheater with people sitting on the grass and grass hills that surrounded
the place. We did hit Michelle's number on record sales as they sold over
65,000 copies of our CD single at the concert. We all gladly gave her a
dollar and she had them framed and put in her office. She was as nutty as we
were.


CHAPTER 21 - GETTING OLDER


Debbie and I turned 23 this year and we can't believe that we have been in a
top band and on top of the record charts for almost 6 years now. We've built
8 bands now, and all of us in Southland are down to one concert a month. We
don't need the concerts to drive the CD sales. They sell as soon as they are
released. We also don't need the money at all. Debbie and I have made a
fortune, and helped everyone else do the same thing. The original five bands
with us, also only play once a month unless we get bored and then we book a
couple in a row.

Barb just had a baby boy, and so did Ginny. Jerry and Frank already bought
the 6 month old kids football uniforms and guitars. We couldn't stop
laughing.

Michelle has won honors at the CMAs and Bob keeps telling us he should have
retired with Margi, but he loves the racing program too much to leave. Each
year we get a huge bonus from the board to the point it's almost meaningless.
We still act like it's wonderful, but we honestly don't care. Margi and
Carrie think it's comical.

We've been through 4 cooks and Gretchen is hiring us another on this week as
the last one just left to get married. Brenda and Gretchen are both full
partners in the CDA management company with Mary and Beth, and I think they
may have made more money than us the past three years. They branched out into
handling hundreds of other events and concerts around the country and use
sponsors for as much as they can. Mary and Beth's song writing is still their
priority, as they love it. We collaborated with them on the songs for our
latest CD and every tune is top notch and selling themselves.

We wrote Jerry a mega hit last year and he was walking on air as it sold a
million copies in the first week. We did one for Dane the year before. Darla
keeps bugging us about one too and we just finished one that she recorded and
so far it looks like she'll pass all of us on single CD sales in a two week
period.

Debbie and I have never been happier. Our relationship is as good as it gets
and the magic is more now than ever. We travel at least a week each month to
just goof off some place we haven't been before. We surfed in Australia, went
on a two week safari in Africa, and spent the most fantastic time we ever had
roughing it camping in Alaska.

We stay in touch with four of the other girls that were in the detention
facility with us. We helped them all out and they are doing wonderful. Two
work for Michelle as A&R reps and have landed some big talent to the label.
The two others work for Mary and Beth's company, planning and executing on
the events.

Debbie and I are about to host a TV show that starts airing next week from
Nashville called, "Be Discovered." We started the filming of it two weeks ago
and it is so funny, we have trouble keeping a straight face in parts of it.
We go to the local clubs and meet singers and bands and they audition to be
discovered. Michelle figures if we can build another super group it pays for
itself, which is why she sponsored it. So far the tapes are better than the
American Idol auditions. Michelle started to wet her panties when she saw the
roughs before the edits of the first show. We have our own panel of judges,
which are Brandy, Danica, Dane, and Jerry. They are a total piss on the show
and comments are all classics that we are thinking of publishing when the
show is over.

The idea was to find one decent band a week and then compare them to the
previous finds. So far we haven't found anyone that can play anything except
the radio. The producer thinks we'll get an Emmy for best comedy show of the
year. Michelle said, "That wasn't the point of doing the show" and we all
laugh about it again.

Today we're in Memphis to film bands in the clubs on Beal Street. We have
been advertising for it for two weeks and we got there at 10 in the morning.
The film production crew set up everything as Debbie and I reviewed the list
of contestants and had a cigarette. Our judges were laughing to themselves
and I said, "They haven't even started yet." Jerry walked over smiling and
said, "Check out the first contestant. I have never seen anyone that ugly in
my entire life." Debbie started to laugh and then I did too. It was
contagious.

The crew set up the tables for the judges and us, and then the chairs for the
audience. They let the audience in the doors and it was packed. The contests
were taken backstage and brought out one act at a time by our producer. The
producer explained how this works to the audience and they were all cheering
for us. We got our cue and we stood up facing the audience as the camera was
filming us close up. We have a monolog for each show that is very funny, and
this one was no exception. We had the audience laughing and tried something
new this week as we let five people be special voters. They got write down a
number from one to 10 about each act they see, on big signs. I said, "A 10 is
a hit band with a hit record. Jerry's a ten." The woman were all screaming
for him and he blushed.

We had our first contestants come out as Debbie read the introductions. I was
trying so hard not to laugh as Debbie finished her introduction, looked at
the two guys and held it together saying, "What song are you going to play?"
The one really big and ugly guy said, "We wrote it about our truck." I said,
"When ever you're ready the stage is yours." They played it and within 10
seconds we were all laughing. Jerry was laughing so hard he couldn't breath.
Our audience score keepers all wrote a big zero on the charts and I stood up
and said, "Thank you very much. Now to our judges." Brandy was still giggling
and said, "You ever think about taking up another hobby less painful to our
ears?" The whole morning was like this and we had to take three bathroom
breaks in the filming from laughing so much we all had to piss. All three
cameramen were first in line.

After our third break, we started filming again and I said to the audience
who were all expecting another funny disaster, "We have five more acts for
you to hear." I introduced the first one and she was God awful to the point
the noise hurt your ears. Jerry's comment was, "Finger nails on a black
board." We all got shivers. Debbie introduced the next band and they were
actually good. We let them play their entire song and then we got the
audience scores of 5 8s. Our judges weren't so kind, but we at least found
someone that can stay in key.

We had one act to go and we all had enough. Debbie did the introduction and
three women walked out about 21 years old and they were really cute. Jerry
smiled and asked them what they were going to play. One of them said in a
very Georgia accent, "I'm Trisha and we all will be playing one of your tunes
called broken hearts." Debbie whispered to me, "This is a hard song to sing.
Dane couldn't do it and neither could Jerry because of the two octave jump."
I nodded and said, "The stage is yours and we look forward to hearing you."

One of them played a folk guitar and they started the song. Debbie and I had
chills listening to the way they did our song. It was better than the way we
recorded it. We saw Brandy look at us and nod her head yes. So were Jerry,
Dane, and Danica. We loved how they sounded and when they finished Debbie and
I stood up and clapped as the audience was cheering and clapping. The voters
in the audience gave them tens and we smiled. Our judges gave them all
compliments but also critiqued areas that needed work. They all gave them
9.5s.

I did the wrap up monolog and said, "It looks like the Broken Hearts, singing
Broken Hearts will be back again in our search for the new group to - Be
Discovered. This is Kate Rodgers and my partner in crime Debbie Austin,
wishing you a good evening." They camera went off and we went to talk to the
Broken hearts band. I said, "We wrote and recorded that song. You did it
better than we ever did. You have a few minutes to sit down with us and
talk?"

Brandy, Dane, Danica, and Jerry went with us to a coffee shop to sit and
talk. We lit cigarettes as we walked outside and I said, "Where are you from?
It sounds Atlanta." Trisha said, "45 miles west, almost in Alabama, but ya'll
were close. This is Lou-Ann and Daisy my good friends."

I took a drag of the cigarette as Debbie said, "We loved how you jumped the
two octaves. Most people can't sing that song. What made you pick it?" Lou-
Ann said, "It's our favorite and we sing it together in the shower all the
time." Trisha and Daisy blushed 2 shades of bright red and we were all
laughing. I said, "That's cool with us. Just don't say that on TV."

We sat at a table in a diner and ordered coffee and some lunch for everyone.
I said, "Did you come here for the show, or for something else?" Trisha said,
"The show. We want be in a country group so bad. But there is no one to
listen to us. We though this show was a great idea until we started to hear
the other people singing. They were horrible and we thought maybe this was a
joke."

We explained the whole thing to them and I said, "It's no joke. Some of the
people suck and it's funny, but the one we find will be set up succeed as a
top performing artist. So far you are the top pick." We asked about what
instruments they played and if there were any others they played with that
were any good. I said, "For you to be a complete band we need a drummer,
peddle steel, and maybe a fiddle or keyboard. Trisha you can't play both on
every tune." She was smiling and said, "Want to hear us play electric? We
have our stuff in a rehearsal studio down the block. We thought since we're
here we might as well try to get into a band in this area."

We finished our lunch and then we went to the rehearsal studio. Danica and
Debbie's eyes bulged out as Danica said, "Is that a 54 Strat?" Lou-Ann said,
"Sure is. It was my grandfathers. Try it out." Danica and Debbie both played
it and Debbie said to me, "I'm in love again. We need to get one of those
too." Lou-Ann picked it and whaled a few riffs on it and Danica said,
"Alright! You can rock too." Electrically they were a ten. We couldn't
believe it. We sat in with them and filed in the missing instruments and let
them play our tune again. It was terrific. Then Trisha was naming off other
tunes of ours and they did them all excellent.

I said, "You write any of your own material?" Trisha said, "It's mediocre.
We'll play one for you." All of us sat and listened to a song that definitely
had possibilities. I said, "It needs work, but it may be usable on a CD."
Debbie said, "You feel like taking a two hour drive with us and stay a day or
two? We'd like you to met a few people and have them listen to you play."
Trisha said, "You bet. Let us go pack a bag." I said, "We came here in two
limos. Debbie and I will take one back with them and we'll met you at our
place. Brandy, can you give Michelle a call from the car and see if she can
join us for dinner with Chet?" She smiled and said, "You were reading my
mind."

Lou-Ann put her very rare guitar in the case and took it with her as we
walked to get the limos outside the club. I said to Brandy, "Call me on my
cell after you talk to Michelle." We left to go to the hotel room they rented
and it was a dump. They packed up a few things and we were off.

We talked like we were old friends in the car and they were a total piss.
They were 23 years old, and best friends from when they were kids. They are
also very into each other, but like to get laid too. We laughed at that one
and Debbie said, "Sound familiar?"

Brandy called me on the cell and said, "Michelle is real excited and wants to
know when you will finish the songs for their CD?' We were both cracking up
and I said, "She is a pistol."

The time flew by and we didn't even realize that we were home until Debbie
said, "Welcome to Nashville. This is our home." They started to sing when a
house is a home and we were cracking up. I said, "Very good."

The first limo was just leaving as we pulled up the front door. The driver
unloaded all of their things for us and took it into the entrance foyer. We
walked inside with them as they were looking at the high ceilings. I said,
"You want a drink?" Michelle and Chet were already there and I said, "You
beat us here. Trisha, what type of poison would you like?" Debbie made them
each a drink and then one for us too as Michelle said, "Lets sit in the
studio. I'm dying to hear them play and sing."

I made the introductions and Trisha said, "Oh my God, Chet Dumont? The best
producer in the world." Chet smiled and said, "See Michelle. You need to pay
me more." Michelle said, "All artists are so fucked up in the head. That
includes me too, because I use to be one also." As we were going into the
studio Linda and Gail came over. Linda said, "Brandy said you need
accompaniment to hear a band?" I said, "Just in time." We made the
introductions and they all knew who Linda and Gail were from our band. I
said, "Trisha, it's your show. Start with Broken Hearts first." Michelle
said, "They can sing this one?" I said, "Listen." Debbie turned all the
equipment on and we sat on the couch. I lit a cigarette and took a sip of my
drink and then Debbie sat next to me.

Linda tuned the drums and Gail tuned up the pedal steel as Trisha, Lou-Ann,
and Daisy did the same to the guitars and bass. Linda said, "On four. Ready?"
She clicked it off and they sounded excellent playing our song. Chet
whispered into my ear and Michelle's, "What an unbelievable find for dumb
luck. Let's get them under contract now." Michel and I both nodded as we
listened to the song. We all clapped and then they did four more including
one really fast and difficult one, and then a slow one as Gretchen and Brenda
walked in to listen. Gretchen whispered to me and Debbie, "They are really
good." I nodded and smiled.

Michelle said, "Lets sit down and talk. That was excellent." I said, "How did
we make out on the cooking scene?" Gretchen said, "Zero. They all sucked.
I'll call another agency in the morning. We had them all make something for
us and we had to throw it all out. It was disgusting." I said, "Any one
interested in a veal dinner? I'll call the caterer." Gretchen said, "I'll
call, you take care of business." I said, "Thanks mom." She smiles every time
I say that.

We went into the den and Michelle started out by explaining the show again
and said, "We may sign one act, two, three, we don't know yet. The whole idea
is to find top notch talent. You are the first one we found that we want to
sign you." Trisha yelled, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Everyone was smiling at her and
Michelle said, "There are a few catches to it, so listen carefully. Kate and
Debbie will have full control over the band. This includes the material, who
does what, etc. They are experts at making super groups, as everyone knows.
The second is that you will need to tour to support the CD sales. This is
also how you make most of your money. You must sign a managing contract with
CDA management and productions. Gretchen and Brenda are partners in that.
They do all of the tour events for our label and are the ones who run the
NASCAR concerts. The last piece is that you will have to finish out the show.
What that means is that a film crew will be shooting you working with Kate
and Debbie, and Mary and Beth to put together the band. The game plan is to
use the show to springboard your first CD on national television by having
you play several of the tunes.  The next major challenge is getting you a
drummer and a pedal steel player that can sing and that will fit in the
band."

I said, "We had 6 more audition shows scheduled for taping and maybe we'll
find someone there. Even if we find a lousy band that has a good drummer,
we'll snatch him. The other alternative is to advertise which has worked
before. Lets see what we find first. We do the next one in two days in
Kentucky. I want you three to be there with us. Just sit in the audience and
I'll ask you to be the voters with the cards. That way we'll know what you
think while the act is one stage." Chet was laughing and said, "The tape from
last one was so funny. How did you not crack up?" I said, "Debbie was
standing on my toes until it hurt to make me stop laughing."

Michelle said, "If you agree to all of this, we can have the contacts to you
by the morning to have your attorney review them." Trisha said, "We don't
even know an attorney." I said, "Ginny's dad is about the best there is, but
the contacts are all on the up and up." We'll hook you up with him.

Michelle said, "You need an advance of money?" Trisha said, "We are basically
broke." I said, "We'll take care of it. It's easier. Trisha, once you sign
the contracts we'll give you 50 or 100 grand and that will come back to us
from your first tour. That way you don't have to deal with the record company
accounting of a loan." Michelle said, "I wish you were my executive producer
when I first got signed. That loan stuff against future sales always bothered
me." Lou-Ann said, "You can afford to front us that much money?" Everyone was
laughing and Michelle said, "Trust me on this one. That's like 25 cents to
you guys. You will be making the big bucks too in a few months. That's what
we want because if you make money, we make money."


CHAPTER 22 - BROKEN HEARTS


Gretchen said, "Dinner is here. It's in the formal dining room." We went into
the dining room and Trisha said, "You could have basketball game in this
room." Debbie said, "No. There's not enough room for the benches or the
scoreboard." I said, "Wise ass." She put her arm on my shoulder smiling and
gave me a kiss on my cheek and then we sat down.

We talked about everything that needed to happen and I said, "Can you three
move in here until this all done? It will make it easier for everyone. You
can practice in the studio here also and we're only 5 minutes from the
recording studio you will be using." They were all smiling at each other and
Trisha said, "Live in a palace? Yeah, I think we can handle it for a while."

Chet said, "Why don't I take out some ads discretely to look for the
musicians we need and do the first round auditions. In case the show doesn't
turn up something soon, we'll at least have a few to select from." I said,
"Sounds like a plan. Michelle, any of the bands from your old label in
trouble, looking to spilt, or whatever, where we can get two people from
there?" She said, "I'll make some calls tomorrow also." Debbie said, "If we
find someone this way, lets put them on the show as a contestant so it
doesn't look totally staged." Michelle was smiling and said; "Now that is the
best plan so far. We put the ones on the show that we want to win."

After we ate dinner, Chet and Michelle were leaving and she said to us, "I'll
have the contacts brought over first thing in the morning." She pulled me
over to talk to her outside and said softly to me, "You did real good with
this one. I'm building you and Debbie into the profits like the last one
Margi did." I smiled and said, "Excellent. We'll keep you posted."

Trisha was looking at our Grammy's and CMAs on the shelves and I said, "Take
one and hold it. It will give you the inspiration to win a few." They took
one off the shelf and were holing it and then they all kissed it. We were
laughing and Jerry said, "With that, I have to go change diapers. See ya."
Brandy said, "I have to take care of some business too." She winked at me and
said, "Jim text messaged me three times with some interesting stuff. He is so
wacky sometimes." She showed me the picture he took of his hardon and sent it
to her on her phone. I cracked up and she said, "See you for the Kentucky
show." Dane and Danica were goofing on each other pretending to be the first
few acts we saw today. All of us were dying as they sang so off key and
walked out the door waving.

Trisha said, "Is it always this crazy here?" I said, "Usually much worse, but
that's part of the fun. Let me show you to your rooms, or room, whichever you
prefer." I took them upstairs and said, "Separate or together?" Trisha said,
"Together." I said, "Then you get a suite." I walked down the hallway and
said, "In here. Oversized King." They went in with their bags and I said,
"After you get settled, come downstairs for a drink with us and we'll show
you around the rest of the place."

Debbie and I spent the evening with them and talked about things they like to
do and their friends. Lou-Ann said, "Don't get me wrong about this, but how
can you live in such a huge place?" I said, "It doesn't seem that big to us
anymore. It did the first week we were in it but that was a long time ago.
It's home." Debbie said, "Lets give you the ten cent tour." We showed them
the outside and pool, the garage when Debbie said, "If you need to go out you
can use any of the cars except the racecars. Check out the new Rolls we got
two weeks ago." Trisha was looking at the car and said, "This is why we need
to sell records and win a Grammy. I love this car." I said, "Believe it or
not, we never did it for the money. The money happened all by itself. We made
tons of it one year by touring, and got ourselves so sick from exhaustion we
were all in bed for weeks. The money will happen all by itself as long as you
follow what we tell you. All of you are damn good, and that's what you need
to make it."

We went into the house and did the tour of the rooms. Debbie said, "The game
room has almost every game there is. We kind of bought way to many for a
children's party we had here two years ago." Gretchen and Brenda walked in
and Gretchen said, "We have the management contracts." She handed them to
Trisha and said, "These are real simple. The company takes ten percent which
is 2 percent less than everyone else gets. We're the ones who make you your
money. Kate and Debbie will tell you about it." They had a ton of questions
so we sat in the den and talked. Brenda said, "Play them the video of your
concert two months ago so they can see what goes into an arena show." I put
it on and said, "You will be going with us when we play in two weeks to see
this from the stage."

Debbie and I were getting into our music and danced in the den as we sang
along with the tape. Trisha said, "They are just as crazy as we are." We
really did stop the tape a few times to show them what was going on and I
said, "The show we put on is something that you will need to have of your
own. We'll get you the help to make that happen."

It was getting late so I said, "We're crashing for the night. We'll see you
in the morning for breakfast." They went upstairs with us and we went into
our room and attacked each other. We get so nuts after we drink Captain
Morgan's rum. Debbie was lapping my cunt like a dog drinking water and I was
going out of my mind. We made love for hours and then crashed.

The next day everything as taken care of with the contracts and they were
fully on board as signed artists. We also set them up with a bank account and
I put in 100 grand and had them sign a note to be taken out of tour proceeds.
Michelle stopped over to get the executed contracts and she said, "No luck
with musicians from the old label. I'll see how Chet is making out." Michelle
called later and was panicking as Chet had none either yet. I said, "Don't
panic. If this doesn't get us any on the next four days of filming, then
we'll use my other plan. It's called fuck being discrete. I'll put an add in
every musician's rag magazine that says Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin are
building a new super group. If you have what it takes, we want you. Call this
number. I bet we get over 10,000 phone calls." Michelle said, "Yeah that
would work. I stopped panicking. Thanks." Trisha heard me and was laughing.

The next day we all went to Kentucky for the same drill to "Be Discovered." I
introduced Trisha, Lou-Ann, and Daisy as ones that have made it through the
first round and they will be helping in the audience with the voting for our
amusement only. I said, "The judges have the final word." We listened to one
bad act after the other and it was so funny. Trisha gave someone a minus 3
and we all lost it laughing. There was one act that was okay and Lou-Ann gave
them and 2/9. I said, "What's with the two scores? She said, "2 for the band
and 9 for the drummer who can play and has a great voice." We all knew
exactly what she was saying.

We all had coffee with the drummer and he was definitely interested. We got
all of this contact information and I said, "We'll be in touch within a few
days. If you don't hear from us, call us on this number."

We left Kentucky for the next show taping in Atlanta starting late that
afternoon. This one was the funniest so far. We had people perform that Jerry
called Space Aliens. We did find a woman that was a terrific pedal steel
player and we all picked up on it. Trisha winked at me and we all nodded. We
heard another really good drummer that had a very high singing voice. I said
to Debbie, "We want her." She whispered back, "To eat?" She smiled at me and
I started to laugh again and had to cover my face as the camera was still on
the band.

We met with both of the musicians afterward and got the information again.
Then we went out to dinner and checked into a hotel for the night in downtown
Atlanta. Trisha said, "Feel like visiting our family with us?" Debbie said,
"Sure." We took a limo towards Alabama and it took about a half hour as we
pulled up to a farm style house that was nestled in the woods and on a lake.
I said, "Nice secluded area."

We went in and met all of their parents and Trisha's sister and brother. We
had a few beers and the parents were asking us if they'll make any money at
his. I said, "We can't promise anything. If the world ends and nobody buys
CDs and no one goes to concerts, then we'll all starve. I can tell you what
other bands have made that we produced. We built Georgia Passion and they
have made about 490 million. The Crooked Road with Danica is over 600
million. We did Jerry's band and they are up there. I think about 890
million. Dane is over 750 million." Trisha's father said, "How much have you
made?" I said, "The exact amount I don't know. Last accounting statement was
what Debbie, about 2.7 billion?" She nodded and I said, "We are the
exception. It's called dumb luck." Her parents didn't believe a word of it
and I said, "I can let you talk to some people to verify it. Debbie, call
your mom. Her mother is Margi Austin, who also was the President of a record
company before she retired."

Debbie called and we heard, "Hi mom. We need you to do us a quick favor. We
have some parents here of a new band that is being signed that we are
producing. They don't believe how much money we made and the other bands. Can
you just give them ball park numbers?" "In the Bahamas? How's the weather?"
"I'm so jealous." "Yeah, we're finishing up filming the show. Hang on." She
handed the phone to Trisha's father and he listened for a minute and said,
"That's unbelievable."  "She made that much also. Wow. Yeah I'll put her back
on." Debbie talked for a minute to her mom and I yelled, "We'll see you in
Aruba next month." Debbie was laughing and hung up.

I said, "Was I lying?" He said, "No, you actually understated it as Margi
said you are very self conscious about having so much money. Do these kids
have a shot at that?" I said, "We are going to do everything we can to make
it happen. Like I said, no promises, but the gold ring only hangs down once.
If you are lucky enough to grab it and can hold on, it's a really wild
adventure. They have what it takes, but will need help. Our part of this is
we get a share of the record companies profits from the band CD sales and we
also get the writers royalties for all of the material of ours they use.
We'll have them play with us in concerts and on national TV and do everything
we can to make it happen."

One of the other parents said, "Have you ever failed with a band?" Debbie
said, "Nope. We're batting one thousand and that's because we are so picky of
who we work with. We will never ask anyone for money either. Actually, we pay
for everything up front. Trisha has a bank account that Kate and I put 100
grand in two days ago that they can use. They will pay us back directly from
the tour concert proceeds through the management company. That way they can
afford to live as it takes months to get paid from the record company and
even from the tours. The best advice I can give all of you is to support them
now and then help them when it gets going because it's like a whirlwind it
happens so fast. They will be on tour and forget to eat and sleep, as it's
totally consuming and exhausting. We all ended up sick our second year
because we wore ourselves out. Kate was down to 91 pounds when we got home
and we were in bed for almost a month being feed by Gretchen. Don't let that
happen to them. Each time they tell you it's only another six months, yell at
them to cut it shorter or take two weeks off before the next tour is
scheduled. If they tell you to go to hell, then call us and we'll try to
drill some sense into them. It's the hardest part of this profession. Being
on stage is totally addicting, worse than drugs. The money is just not as
important as your health." The parents stood and we're clapping for us and I
said, "Wow, a standing ovation. Move over and give me the mic." They were all
laughing and we had a few beers and just joked around.

They wanted to hear about the funny things on stage and they got us started
and we didn't stop. We had them all howling. Debbie pointed to her watch and
I said, "We have to get back into the city tonight. As soon as they are ready
to appear in a concert, we'll send all of you to the show on us. You'll love
it. Debbie's mom is in the business and she use to go crazy, and still does,
when we play a big gig."

We left in the limo after they hugged their parents and I said, "Get some
sleep tonight. Tomorrow we do one more filming and then we decide on which of
the musicians we use." We lit cigarettes and Debbie put her arm on my
shoulder and said, "Honey, I am so horny." We kissed and Trisha, Lou-Ann and
Daisy were starring at us. I said, "We're really are just like you guys."
Debbie kissed me again and I was melting as Trisha was giggling and then the
three of them got into it also. We got back to the hotel and I was so wet. We
said goodnight and then Debbie and I attacked each other in our room. We put
a hundred miles on Spike.

We flew out at 8 in the morning to the last stop in the Carolinas. This one
was had some descent bands. None of them at the level of Trisha, but descent.
We found two more drummers and two steel players that could sing. We met with
all of them and they we interested in auditioning for the jobs.

We flew home and I talked to Chet and had him schedule the auditions in the
studio at the office. We gave him all of the numbers and he said, "Sounds
like you found some talent. That's good. I'll see if we can do it on this
Saturday morning so the place is all ours."

Chet called us back in an hour and said, "Tomorrow morning at 11 they will
all be here. We'll use the rehearsal studio."

The next morning we had all of the band members from our five groups met to
grade the auditions. They loved doing this, for some reason. We had all six
people wait in the lounge and then bought them into the rehearsal area one at
a time. Debbie asked each person to play certain types of music and then
improvise. We also had them sing and had them play other instruments that
they claimed to be good at. Last was an interview by Trisha to gauge
personality fit. Then the person left the room and we all graded them and
compared notes.

We had two hands down winners and we called them both back into the room as
Chet sent the others on their way. It was the two women that happened to be
the best all around musicians, and also one hell of a drummer and one
excellent pedal steel player. I explained the deal to them and said, "It's a
new group called Broken Hearts that is partially signed. We need the last two
members and you're it, if you accept." They didn't even think about it and
they accepted. I said, "How soon can you start?" Trisha was so excited as
they wanted to start today. I said, "Lets move the party to our house and
we'll get things started."

We spent the weekend with the new band getting them playing together and
getting to know each other. We also played them 58 songs and had them vote on
each of them that we performed with Mary and Beth. 12 of the songs were so
strong we all knew they were hits. I said, "Lets just pick the other 8." We
tallied up the votes on each one and had 10 that we tied at a 10. The others
were 11s. I said, "So you learn 22 tunes and we pick the ones that record the
best for the CD, or even include all of them. The hardest part is going to be
picking the singles. These are all really strong. We'll get Chet and Michelle
to help us on that one."

Mary and Debbie did the tape thing of the cassette for the copyrights and we
finally bought a tape duplicator so we just ran it through it so they had a
copy. I wrote the check and we put it in the mail for Monday and I said, "Now
lets get something to eat and then start learning the music."

Our new cook started and she was okay. A little bitchy and Debbie read her
the riot act about attitude is everything. I added, "If you don't want the
job, that's okay. We'll get someone else." She apologized and made us the
sandwiches we asked for.

After our food, we all had a cigarette and a beer as we taught them the
singing parts first and then the music. When they played the first tune
electrically, it was like magic between them. The song came to life and we
all knew they had what it takes. A film crew had been filming the whole thing
and we got to the point we didn't even notice them.

By Wednesday they had every song down and sounding really good. Mary and Beth
absolutely loved this band and Mary said to me, "They are as good as you are.
I never thought I'd say that. You actually have an equal." We were all
laughing about it.

I said, "Time for some stage show work." We had them all watch two of our
concert tapes and then we used Louie again. Trisha doesn't like gay guys that
act like a fairy and this was so hard keeping her from laughing. She had to
leave the room 6 times. They suffered through it and we watched the whole
thing this time. He had them work on each tune until they all knew exactly
what to do and had written it down in a notebook.

On Thursday we had them practice the show like we were the audience and we
made a few changes to it. After studying our tapes they knew exactly why we
did certain things now.

On Friday we had Chet, Michelle, Gretchen, and Brenda, and all of the other
band members over to the house for a preview of the new act. We had our new
cook serve food and drinks and she was as pleasant as can be. Debbie smiled
at me and winked.

I introduced the band and said, "This is the unveiling. Tell us if you think
we should change any of the show or music. We gave them 22 songs as we could
decide which were the best. If you have any thoughts on it, lets us know.
Also we couldn't decide on the singles. We narrowed it down to 12 tunes.
Trisha you ready? Okay, here at are the Broken Hearts."

Debbie and I sat down and lit cigarettes as we watched and listened. They
were really good. When they ended the first tune, everyone stood and clapped
as they did they're show and went into the next tune with a little story.
Michelle whispered to me, "You are a fucking magician. They are fantastic."

We watched the whole show and everyone was taking notes about the tunes. The
final song was a real strong one and they played it loud. We all stood and
cheered. I said, "Great job guys. Take a break and sit with us."

We went around the room with comments and no one had anything bad at all. It
was all about which ones to release as singles. Everyone has the same 12
songs on their list and Michelle said, "Then we do all 12, 2 at a time."
Jerry stood up and said, "I know everyone is probably thinking the same
thing, so I'll say it. Kate and Debbie, you performed a modern miracle. This
group is good enough to make our band look lane. They should tour with you
once they get popular. Musically they are all eagles and the vocals are out
of this world. The material you and Debbie wrote with Mary and Beth is also
incredible. This has all the ingredients for an instant big name act. Guys,
we all wish you luck and really loved your act." They thanked Jerry and
Trisha said, "It really did sound okay?" Debbie was smiling and said, "Tell
me that doesn't sound like us 8 years ago."

Everyone was leaving and I said, "We'll see you for the sound check tomorrow.
Broken Hearts will be there to learn what it's like on stage. They aren't
playing yet though." Chet stayed with us and I said, "How about getting them
into the studio on Monday?" He said, "That's exactly what I was going to
suggest. They are so fucking good. I can't believe it." I said, "Now
Southland has some real competition." He was smiling and nodded his head.

The next morning we all took the short flight to Cincinnati to play the
sports arena. Trisha and Broken Hearts were so excited about all of it and we
told them every thing that was going to happen next. After the hotel bit and
the limo to the arena, we first showed them the flea market area at each
major concert. I said, "All of your merchandise will be sold here also along
with CDs. The engineers were calling for a sound check and I said, "Just stay
with us and come on stage too, so you can see what it looks like. It is
different the first time you are up there."

We went on last and the Trisha and company came on stage with us. I said, "Hi
Tony. They're just here to watch us." We went through our normal process and
then played a song as each one of them stood by one of us on stage. They were
all smiles.

The techs took our gear from us and we went out to the limos to get some
dinner. I said, "This an early one. First band is on at 6. So we have about
an hour to eat and get back here before all of the craziness of the fans." I
waved to the film crew that was still following us and no one even noticed
them any more except me.

We decided to do a quick pizza joint and made it back in plenty of time.
Debbie and I showed Broken Hearts the dressing area and how the show was
organized and the emcee. I said to their band, "This is a three act concert.
The Crooked Road is on first, Georgia Passion is second and we are third. I
want you to watch how they go on stage and exit. It's important so we don't
get screwed up when you play with any of us."

The emcee came backstage and was joking with us a usual. We introduced the
next super group to him and he said, "Kate, when you say it I believe it. I
can't wait to hear your music."

We all went to the arena floor entrance and watched as the emcee gave the
opening remarks and the place was mobbed. Trisha said, "My God, there are so
many people." I said, "Get use to it. There will be even more to see you play
with us." We watched Kathy and company go on stage and they waved to us.
Trisha was watching what they did and then what the emcee was doing and
saying. When he screamed the name of the band, they jumped in with the first
tune as the stage spots went on and the light show started also. We watched
for about 10 minutes and then I said, "We're going to sit down. It's a long
night."

They stayed up there and watched the show as Debbie, me, and Brandy walked
back to sit on the couches. I sat on Jim's lap and said, "You're a naughty
little boy sending those pictures over the cell phones. Mistress Kate may
have to punish you." Everyone was cracking up and Jim said, "Don't tell me
we're getting into bondage in the act again." I got off his lap and said,
"Not unless you let us tie you up first. I just want to know how you took a
picture of your dick right side up." He said, "Mirror." We were all laughing
again and Brandy said, "I showed him how to do it when I sent him one of my
pussy." Debbie said, "See what we're missing by not learning how to use our
cell phone cameras." Jim showed us and Debbie and I sent each other a picture
of our nipples. It was a piss.

We sat and joked around all night until it was our turn to go on. Trisha was
still at the entrance and I said, "Now comes the fun. See you after the
show." We went on stage and got ready as the emcee gave us the build up and
we had the fireworks here also. We started with one our hits and the place
was cheering as we worked the crowd.

We did our usual show and were into it with the crowd here. There were so
many people screaming "Love Sucks!" Debbie said, "You want to hear it? We'll
do it if you promise to sing along." The cheers were deafening and we started
the tune. We saw Trisha smiling at us and singing along also.

We did one hit after the other for a while including one very emotional slow
tune. Then we got it moving again and did our current number one single. The
place went nuts standing and screaming as I was walking to the audience and
singing.

We ended the show and the screaming and cheers was deafening again. We all
walked to the front of the stage and touched people's hands and waved as we
thanked them. We waved to Trisha and she was clapping for us too. We waved
one more time to the audience and bowed and then we walked off the stage.
Trish hugged me and said, "This was so wild and you were great!" I said,
"This will be you in a few weeks. Trust me. Your show is as good as ours is.
Now the fun part starts. Come with us."

We went to sit down and had a cigarette as Kathy said, "Great show Kate. The
fans worship you here." I said, "They were going nuts for you also. Where's
Darla and Georgia Passion?" Kathy said, "One their parents got sick and they
took off early after our set was over to get a flight home tonight." I called
Darla from my cell phone and I said, "What happened?" She said, "Our mom had
a minor heart attack. She's not in any danger, but we wanted to be there for
her. I'll give you a call tomorrow, we're boarding the plane now."

I lit a cigarette and said, "Darla and Tammy's mom had a minor heart attack.
I hope she's okay. We should send something tomorrow morning." I explained
about the autographs and what we normally do after a show together and then
said, "Just stick with us. This is the fun part. It's all about the fans."

We finished our cigarettes and Danica said, "You ready to sign some more ass
cheeks?" Debbie yelled loud, "Bring them on! I ready for anything!" I was
smiling and said, "Lets go honey. Get that ass writing pen ready."

We went out the arena door and there was a police barricade around our exit
up to the limos. We walked to the edge of it and we all signed some of
everything. The cops thought we were nuts to sign some woman's boobs. I said
to him, "Your just jealous she didn't ask you to sign them first." He was
cracking up. Trisha was eating this up and then we went to the limos to go
back to the hotel.

Debbie and I got in the limo with Broken Hearts and I said, "How was the
class trip?" Trisha smiled and said, "We have so much to learn still." I
said, "This is the easy part. You have the music and the show. That's what
really counts."


CHAPTER 23 - BROKEN HEARTS BIG DEBUT


We had an early morning flight back on Sunday morning. On our way home from
the airport my cell phone rang and it was Darla. I said, "How's your mom
doing?" I heard, "It was a heart attack, and they have no clue what caused
it. My mom is such an idiot. She yelled at the doctors and told them she
feels fine, and checked herself out of the hospital this morning. She is as
stubborn as it gets. We're going to stay for a few days and watched her like
a hawk." I said, "If you need help, call us and we'll came down too. Tell
your mom from me, that I think she's totally nuts." Darla said, "She won't
listen to you either. I'll call if anything changes."

We all were convinced that Michelle works 120 hours a week. She was waiting
for us when we got home and said, "Great news! I have two of the
photographers taking pictures today for the CD cover and jacket." Trisha
whispered to me, "That's great news?" I was trying not to laugh and said, "To
her, yeah."

Broken hearts went with Michelle and the photographers and Debbie and I went
back to bed to pick up where we left off this morning when the alarm went
off. We undressed in our bedroom and then I lay between Debbie's legs and she
said, "I was just about to cum for the 8th time." I was smiling and said,
"This isn't a movie. We can start where ever we want." She pulled me on top
of her and we kissed for what had to be a half hour. We just wanted to be
close today and it felt so nice. After our adventure in bed, we spent the day
riding horses and had a picnic dinner in the woods. We enjoyed being alone
like this, more than anything.

Trisha and the band were back from the photo shoot when we went back to the
house. They were telling us about how sexy the proofs turned out and were
getting so excited about the whole thing. Val, the drummer, said, "It's
finally starting to sink in that we are going to be stars. This is so cool.
Michelle wants us in the studio tomorrow morning at 8." Debbie was cracking
up and said, "She is such a workaholic. We'll go with you as we are in the
film editing labs about the show tomorrow."

The next morning everyone was up early for breakfast and we all looked like
the walking dead. Trisha was on her second cup of coffee already and lit a
cigarette as she said, "We kind of celebrated too much last night. I hope I
can sing." Lou-Ann put her arms around her from behind and said, "You were
singing opera in time to my tongue all night. You'll be fine." Debbie was
trying not to laugh as we eat our bacon and eggs.

I tossed Trisha the keys to the Bentley and said, "It fits five." I took the
keys to the new Rolls Royce and we went with them to the garage. Debbie hit
the button in the car to lower the convertible top and Trisha yelled over to
us, "Now this is going in style. A rag top Rolls." Debbie wrote down the
line, "A rag top Rolls" on a pad in the pocket book and I was smiling.

They followed us to the office and there were only about 8 cars in the huge
parking. We recognized Chet's, Michelle's and one of the engineers. Debbie
said, "The rest are the cleaning crew from last night. Michelle is so nuts."

We went with them to the studio and the boss was there waiting for all of us
with coffee. We met the film editing techs and left to got upstairs to the
film center as Chet was getting them started.

Debbie and I laughed for hours as we did the editing of the weekly shows of
"Be Discovered." We also did the editing of our building this band and it was
kind of neat as we had a segment that can be aired on each show of how they
progressed. I said, "The first building the band segment should start to air
this week. They're still filming in the studio today and then will keep going
until they're first big concert. I want the last show of their big concert to
air 2 weeks after the show to boost CD sales. That one will be a one hour
show of just them and a little bit of us."

Debbie and I had to record some more monologs to be dubbed in and some of it
was hilarious. We had a writer do this part for us and we were cracking up as
we read it over. After we finished that, a package arrived with the digital
footage from this past weekend so we watched it and edited that also with the
techs. It was getting later as we went downstairs to the studio into the
control room to watched the group recording vocal tracks in the sound booths.
Chet was working the master console and said to us, "The sound is terrific.
Stick around and listen to the playback of this one."

Chet pressed stop and said into the intercom, "That's a rap for today. You
did great. Come into the control booth using the side door." They all walked
in and I said, "How was your first studio session?" Trisha opened her mouth
and just smiled as Chet said, "They finished 8 tunes. They record as quick as
you do. Not a single mistake anywhere. Check this out."

He set the board for a rough mix and played the last song for us. I said,
"Time for our record release pool. All of you get to put in a buck and we all
pick a number. The number is how many CDs you will sell within three weeks of
it being announced." Debbie kept the master list and they all picked a
number, so did Chet. We called Michelle and she gave us her pick and then
Debbie did hers and so did I. We called every band and this was our version
of a football pool. Everyone was in on it and wanted our odds. Chet posted
the final list on the wall of the control room and he said, "You really think
they will sell that many in three weeks?"  I nodded and he called Michelle
and told her my pick. She said to me over the phone, "What do you know that
we don't?" I said, "Nothing. You're just forgetting something and I'm not
going to tell you about it until it happens. Suffer for a while." She was
telling me how unfair this was and I said, "Like the adverting you did one
time to us?"

On Thursday we did the final master with Chet and then did the film editing
of their recording session. Friday was a total goofing around day that we
spent it horseback riding with Trisha and the rest of her band. Debbie and I
loved doing this stuff.

Saturday we had off, and decided to go to one of the concerts with Broken
Hearts so they could see a show from the front row. Darla's band, Georgia
Passion, as playing with Kathy's group, The Crooked Road in Nashville, so got
the VIP tickets from Mary who decided to join us also with Beth.

We had our friends so crazy before the show as we were pretending to be
crazed fans wanting autographs. We went back stage for a while and then went
to our seats before the show started.

The show was really good and the Broken Hearts got to see what the audience
sees in each show. They were amazed. The Crooked Road went on first and they
were terrific. Daisy said, "It doesn't look anything like this from on the
stage." Debbie said, "Your show will be the same way." Then Georgia Passion
was introduced and they started with a recent hit single.  After the audience
stopped cheering, Darla said into the mic, "We have our very special friends
with us tonight sitting in the front row. They write all of our material too.
Kate Rodgers, Debbie Austin, Mary Sanders and Beth Silver." The audience was
screaming for us and Darla said, "Stand up." The four of us stood and waved.
Trisha said, "This is so cool."

We all waved to Darla and then we were making faces at her. She was trying
not to laugh as they started the next song. The show was really entertaining
and after the last song, we went backstage again. They couldn't stop laughing
about the faces we were making.

On Monday, we got so many compliments about our TV show `Be Discovered.' Two
of the national networks wanted to pick it up and Michelle said, "No shit.
Lets do it." She did the deal that day with Fox and it was running on Fox
Network every night this week to get it in sync with it's affiliate station.
We watched the shows and laughed our ass off. Then it started to get good
when we put in the parts about Broken Hearts. They were like little kids
jumping on the couch as it came on. Trisha called her parents to watch it
before it aired and they called us back after the first show of them and I
said, "That was recorded before we met you. You won't believe the results."

Michelle released the CD of Broken Hearts on Thursday and also two singles.

We were planning on having Broken Hearts play with us next week, but plans
got changed overnight. Darla's mom had another heart attack and this one was
major. They were supposed to be on with us in a two band show in Atlanta and
all of us discussed what to do about the concert. We decided to offer
everyone their money back on the tickets that were purchased, and substitute
Broken Hearts in the concert bill. Mary was also having someone resell any
refunded tickets.  Beth called all of the radio stations in that area and
they broadcast the message several times, as this was a big concert. We
called Trisha's parents and I said, "The schedules got pushed up due to a
problem. Ya'll available to see your daughters perform in Atlanta this
Saturday night?" I had the phone on speaker and we all head screaming. Trisha
was laughing and yelled, "We'll see you at the show!" I said, "Stop by the
Hilton hotel tonight and we'll give you your VIP package. We should be
checked in by dinnertime. Call me on my cell when you get there."

We had to change all of the names for the bookings and Michelle arranged to
have a ton of the Broken Hearts merchandise trucked overnight to the show. We
also had to have their gear shipped by overnight truck also. Mary and Beth
were going nuts with the checklists of what had to happen for the show.
Michelle called us back and said, "I got one of the company jets for this
one, as the commercial airlines are full. You want to all come with me?" I
said, "Why would we want to miss out on two hours of fun waiting on lines in
a crowded airport for security checks? What time are we leaving?" She was
cracking up and said, "One hour. I'll have two limos pick you up." We called
the rest of our band back and told them to come over here.

We managed to get to Atlanta in style and had enough time to show them the
arena and stage area before we went to the hotel. Our stuff was already set
up on the stage and so was Georgia Passion's. I said, "In worst case you can
use the gear that's already here."

We checked into the hotel and my cell phone rang as we were in the lobby. It
was Trisha's dad and he said, "Turn around and look at the elevator." I did
and I hung up the phone. Trisha ran over to him and hugged him and Debbie
walked over and gave him the VIP packages. Michelle introduced herself and
shook his hand as she said, "You'll love the show. We'll see you at the
arena." Mary said, "Beth and I are getting a snack and heading back over to
the arena to double check everything. We also need to see how many tickets we
have to resell." I said, "Call me on my cell and let me know about the
tickets." Trisha's dad said, "How much do these seats go for?" Debbie said,
"675 dollars each for stage level, front 50 rows. The cheap seats in the
farthest area are over 250."

All of us went to our rooms and then met for dinner and had a few drinks.
Mary called at 9 at night and said," Only 28 tickets were returned so far and
were resold within minutes. There is a waiting list to get them. We talked to
the truck driver with the gear and he will be here in about an hour. We're
waiting to make sure it's all unloaded and set up tonight. The merchandise
should be here by 2 in the morning and we have a team ready to unload it.
We'll probably stay here most of the night and sleep during the day while you
do the sound checks." I said, "Don't kill yourself over it." Mary said, "We
won't and we're fine."

I told everyone that it was business as usual for the show and Michelle said,
"Amazing how everyone pulled this off." The restaurant had a local station on
the radio playing as we were talking over a another mug of beer and we heard
the DJ say, "Now for that new single again that is being talked about
everywhere. The band was found on the outrageous show `Be Discovered' and is
playing tomorrow night right here in Atlanta with Southland. Check this song
out. It's called Misty Morning by Broken Hearts." Trisha almost fainted and
we were laughing our ass off as their song played on the radio.

A waiter walked to our table and said, "You're Kate Rodgers and you're Debbie
Austin, aren't you?" I said, "Yup, and these are the Broken Hearts that are
playing with us tomorrow night." We must have had forty people ask us for
autographs and they all wanted an autograph from the Broken Hearts. Trisha
and Lou-Ann couldn't stop grinning. Brandy and Jim were cracking up.

We all went back to the hotel around midnight in the limos and we knew
Trisha's band was going to be up all night. I said, "You really do need to
get some sleep so you are ready for tomorrow. It's going to be a very nerve
hacking day for your first big gig. Lets meet around noon for brunch in the
restaurant.

Debbie and I went to our room and we had a funny night in bed. For some
reason we were both so giggly and ticklish. That stopped when I crawled on
top of her in a 69 position and we ate each other for about an hour. If she
hadn't begged me to stop, I would still be eating her out. I am so addicted
to her pussy. We put another hundred miles on Spike fucking our brains out,
and then passed out with our faces touching.

We all met for brunch as planned and Trisha was so hyper it was like she was
on speed. I said, "At this rate your one hour show will be 20 minutes. Slow
Down!" Lou-Ann was cracking up as we all ordered and had some coffee.

Michelle went out and picked up the billboard magazine at the newsstand and
came back to the table with it. She read us the article on the front page
about `Be Discovered' and I said, "Looks like Debbie and I have a future in
this." Brandy said, "As long as I get to be one of the judges. This was the
funniest thing I have ever done in my life." Michelle opened the page to the
"New Performers" and was reading to us about Broken Hearts. I said, "That was
unplanned. Looks like I'll win the pool by a landslide. The part you forgot
about Michelle is that the tape of this concert airs two weeks after the
concert." Debbie said, "Oh Shit! The film crew!" She panicked and called a
cell phone of one of the film crew and they already knew about the change and
were here in town. I said, "I wonder what else we missed."

We all went to the arena for the sound checks and for them to meet the sound
engineers and techs. Debbie did all of the introductions as I checked on the
merchandise and it was all set to go.

The lead sound engineer said, "Lets do Broken hearts first. Trisha, you guys
take the stage." We sat in the audience seats to watch them and it took about
an hour to get it sounding really good. They played their opening number for
us and we all stood and clapped.

Then it was our turn and this always takes forever. I said, "How come we have
so much equipment on stage. This looks like Jerry's stuff." I asked the
engineer to hold off a second and I called Jerry on his cell phone. He
answered it and I said, "Did you check that your gear is on stage yet?" He
said, "Our back up stuff is here. What happened?" I said, "I'm not sure. But
your regular gear is on our stage with us. Maybe it was mislabeled. You
missing anything for tonight's show?" He said, "Nope. We're good to go. How's
Trisha?" I said, "Excited. We'll see you tomorrow. We're in the middle of our
sound check." We picked up where we left off and then did a few tunes with
each set of instruments.

We finished about 5 and I said, "Lets go get some food and then we have to be
back here by  7." Michelle said, "I'm going to hang around here and checkout
the flea market. I'll see you before you go on."

We went to a local pizza joint and we heard Broken Hearts singles three times
while we ate. I said, "That is a real good sign." The band was getting so
excited about the show. I said, "Lets head back and you can pace the dressing
room." Lou-Ann was cracking up again and so was Debbie.

When we pulled up to the stage entrance, the place was mobbed. There were
lines outside of people waiting to get in to the flea market. The police
barricades were already up and people were mobbed against it, shouting our
names and waving at us. We all waved as we went inside. Brandy yelled, "Catch
us after the show. We have to get ready."

The techs were re-tuning all of the instruments and the emcee came up and
introduced himself to the band. I said, "Tommy, we missed you. Where have you
been hiding the past 3 months?" He said, "I was doing a gig on a European
tour. Did that ever suck." He handed me a piece of paper that had the intro
for Broken Hearts on it and said, "You want to add anything to it?" We all
read it and I said, "This is very good." Tommy was so good with the new
groups that have played with us and he walked them through the introduction
and how it would work and then about leaving the stage. He gave them each a
hug and said, "Knock them dead tonight. You have 45 minutes."

We went to the dressing area and sat down as I lit a cigarette. Debbie lit up
also as the parents came backstage with Michelle. They were so supportive. It
made us feel terrific. All of us had a cold beer and the time flew by as we
were joking around. Some yelled 5 minutes until show time. Everyone get
ready. Broken Hearts we need you here now!"

We walked out with them to the arena stage entrance as the parents went to
their seats with Michelle. Broken Hearts took the stage in the dim lights and
were getting ready as the spotlights went on the emcee on a side stage and he
was telling the story behind the band. Then he said, "Please give a big
welcome to Trisha Conner, Lou-Ann Wright, Daisy Dander, Laura Pauls, and
Valerie Benton. The Broken hearts!" The audience was clapping as Val clicked
off the start of the first tune and they did it perfect. The sound was like
magic. Debbie looked at me and said, "Damn we do good work."

At the end of the first song the crowd was cheering loud and people were
yelling out the name of the tune that was on the radio. Trisha winked at us
and we waved to her as they did the show they planed. Lou-Ann went into right
into an argument with Daisy about who was best in the auditions and we
laughed as they both played some outrageous stuff and Lou-Ann turned it into
the intro for the next song.

Our whole band watched the entire show from the side entrance. The one slow
tune we knew was a hit was an absolute blockbuster. There wasn't a dry eye
anywhere and you could hear a pin drop when they played in with just a folk
guitar and a piano. They got a standing ovation and Debbie and I were wiping
our eyes. We saw Mary and Beth in the front row wiping their eyes and Mary
gave us the thumbs up.

The ovation lasted almost 5 minutes and then they went into some faster rock
style tunes. When they did the song that was playing on the radio now the
most, the audience stood half way through the song and was cheering. We were
so happy for them.

When they finished their last song, the audience was cheering like they do
for us and we knew they were as addicted to it now as we were. They all waved
and bowed and then walked off the stage. I said, "You were great! Don't go
anywhere. We want all of you to come one stage for our last song and sing
Love Sucks with us." Each one of them gave us a hug as we walked on the dimly
lit stage to get ready.

When Tommy started the introduction for us the crowd was cheering so loud we
couldn't even hear it. Debbie shrugged her shoulders and we waited until we
heard a loud roar and then Linda started us off with one of our hits.

We had the place jumping and we all were trying not to laugh at the parents
dancing in front of the stage with Michelle. I said into the mic, "We're
going to slow it down now to play one of our new tunes. This is one that
Debbie and I wrote while camping in Alaska about things we like to do. It's
called I like it when were alone."  Jim started it on a folk guitar finger
picking and Debbie and I walked to the front of the stage and sang to each
other in this one as Brandy sang a harmony part. I loved this song and I
guess the audience did too, as they all stood half way through and it was as
quite as Christmas eve. When we did the ending chorus that brought tears to
our eyes, we watched the front row all getting emotional. Debbie and I hit
the high notes loud and jumped an octave as we held them for almost 20
seconds. We finished the song and the clapping and cheers were louder than
ever before in an arena for us.

Brandy was taking into the mic and we did one of our arrest bits where this
time we hand cuff Jim for perverted gestures while stroking the neck on his
guitar. The place went nuts and then we played our one song the radio
stations will not play. It's called Flying Solo and about masturbating.

It was funny, loud, and a country rock and roll tune. Every time Michelle
hears this song she rolls her eyes and shakes her head. She was doing it
again now and we just smiled.

We got another standing ovation and I said, "Thank ya'll very much. You've
been a great audience tonight." The screams "we want more" were starting
already and we let it keep going and I said into the mic, "We have time for
one more song tonight and wanted to invite our friends Broken Hearts back on
stage with us for it. Come on out guys."

They were all smiling and walked on stage as the audience was cheering again
for them. I said, "Everyone has to sing along in the chorus. I think you'll
recognize it. It's called Love Sucks!"

We started the tune and Trisha and the crew all had hand held mics and were
singing harmony to parts of it and it sounded amazing. When we all shouted
"Love Sucks", it was deafening as the audience did it too. We smiled at each
other on stage as I started signing the first line of the second verse to
Trisha's band singing the background.

When we ended this song the place was as loud as I have ever heard it an
inside arena. My ears were ringing. All of us from both bands went to the
front of the stage and touched people's hands and waved. We had a security
guard bring the parents on stage and they hugged the band as Trisha was still
waving to the fans. Michelle came on stage with us also and she put her arms
over Debbie and my shoulder as we waved and she said to us, "The best show
ever." We walked off stage as we waved again and then all met by the dressing
area. I said, "Excellent show everyone!" Debbie and I gave high fives to
everyone in both bands and then the parents hugged us and thanked us. I said,
"Thank your daughters. They're the ones that made it happen. We just helped."

Mary and Beth were hugging us and I said, "That was Jerry's gear on stage
with us. He was  cool with the backup stuff." We all were laughing about it
and Mary said, "You should tour with Broken Hearts. This was the best show I
have even seen. Well make the changes tomorrow if you're okay with it." I
said, "Sure. Do it." They told Trisha and she was screaming and ran over and
kissed me and Debbie.

We all sat down and popped a cold beer and lit cigarettes as the adrenalin
rush was ending. The parents just couldn't get over it was their kids on
stage. I said, "How did you like the show?" They wouldn't shut up and we were
all cracking up. I took a drag of my cigarette and said, "In a few minutes,
after we all unwind a little, we do the autographs. Remember to be nice to
the fans as they pay the bills." Debbie put her hand on Trisha's shoulder and
said, "You addicted to this yet?" She smiled and said, "My God I can't wait
until we play again. It's such a rush." The parents looked at me and I nodded
and said, "We'll work out the tour schedule tomorrow with Mary and Beth.
We'll want to get you out as much as we can the first 4 to 5 weeks and doing
a big gig with us on Saturdays, like this one. After 6 weeks tops, you take a
two week break and goof off a little." They were all so excited about it we
were grinning.

We finished our cigarettes and beer and Debbie said, "Lets go meet the fans."
The parents walked us to the stage entrance and watched from the doorway as
we walked to the barricade and signed autographs. Trisha was in heaven. I saw
the film crew shoot us again and they waved to me and one yelled, "Outrageous
show. We have some great footage."

After about 40 minutes we waved to the fans and got into two limos to go to
the hotel.

We had rooms that opened into a large lounge on the penthouse floor so I
ordered us four cases of cold beer and some finger food before we went
upstairs. We wanted to invite Michelle, but she was so tired she went
upstairs before we even realized she was gone.

We had one hell of a party. After about four beers each, Jim realized he was
the only guy in the room and we all attacked him. Brandy was laughing so hard
she couldn't even talk. She undressed him and made him put on a show for us
like a model. Then she lay him on the floor in the center of the room, sucked
his cock hard, and sat on him getting fucked as we watched. Debbie and I
undressed and knelt next to her. I sucked one of her nipples as Debbie kissed
her and rubbed her clit. Brandy was breathing hard and said, "I love making
it with both of you so much. Jim, shoot into my pussy honey." Brandy was
riding the horse fast and we watched Jim jerk and then grunt as his cock was
spitting cum in to Brandy. Brandy kept moving on him as we kissed her and she
said, "He's hard again waiting for you."

Debbie climbed on next as Brandy lay back and I went down on her, sucking the
cum out of her pussy. I ate her for about 20 minutes as she orgasmed again
and then Debbie and I changed places as I climbed on Jim's hardon. I moved my
pussy up and down and looked around the room to see everyone else involved
and naked. Trisha walked over by me and knelt next to me, giving me the
wettest kiss. I held her and pinched her nipples as she moaned into my mouth
and then rubbed my clit as Jim was about to cum again.

I felt his cock spasm and pulsate inside of my pussy and then the warm cum
being blasted into me as I had an orgasm. I got off of him and lay on the
floor in a 69 position with Trisha, next to Debbie and Brandy doing the same
thing.

Trisha sucked the cum out of me and then made me cum so much I was trembling.
She kissed me again and then she teamed up with Brandy as Debbie and I went
wild on each other. Jim was out cold on the floor.

Debbie went into our room to get Spike and the two of us fucked for what had
to be two hours nonstop. I was cumming so much I felt faint and so was
Debbie. We were giggling at each other as we handed Spike to Brandy and
Trisha. Debbie lit us two cigarettes as we sat on the floor, leaning back
against a couch and watching the show.

Lou-Ann was fist fucking Daisy as Laura and Val were eating each other out.
Linda and Gail were into each other with their version of Gizmo and Jim was
still out cold. I took a drag of my cigarette as Debbie softly caressed my
hair and neck. She said, "You feel like having some fun with Jim? He's out
cold." Brandy heard us and was laughing her ass off as she was lying on top
of Trisha. She said, "Lets all do it to him."

We finished our cigarettes and then everyone in the room took turns sucking
Jim off as he slept. We were so loud and it didn't make any difference. He
was like the living dead. I got the first mouthful of white goop and I showed
it to everyone and then kissed Debbie with is and we swallowed. Trisha got
the next batch in her mouth and she kissed Lou-Ann and Daisy. That was so
hot. Jim wouldn't get hard again and Brandy was yelling at him and he still
didn't wake up. We were all cracking up as she checked to make sure he was
still breathing.

Debbie picked up Spike off the floor and said, "Come on honey. Time for us to
be alone." She gave Spike a shampoo in the sink and we were laughing about it
and then went to bed and fucked our brains out.


CHAPTER 24 - TWISTS AND TURNS


The next day, Debbie and I woke up around 11 and ran into the bathroom off
our room to pee out the beer from last night. We did our morning routine,
showered, and then put on our favorite cutoff shorts and tee shirts. I was
nibbling on her ear and said, "You look so hot honey." Debbie said, "Please
don't get my motor running again or we'll end up in bed all day here." She
gave me a wet kiss and I said, "My motor is already running." She dragged me
out into the lounge as we were both laughing. Michelle was eating and I said,
"Everyone else still asleep?" She nodded and I said, "You went to bed before
we could invite you to our little party last night that got totally out of
control." She smiled and said, "I can only imagine." We told her what we did
to Jim and she almost chocked on her toast as she was howling.

Everyone started to come out into the lounge and I ordered a breakfast buffet
for the room. Trisha looked like hell and I said, "Didn't you sleep?" She
smiled and put her arms on my shoulder and said, "Not one wink. Neither did
Lou-Ann or Daisy. We'll sleep on the plane and catch up tonight." She gave we
a wet kiss and said, "Thanks for everything." Then she did the same to
Debbie. Michelle said, "You let me sleep through an orgy? You're all fired."
We were cracking up as Jim and Brandy walked into the room and Jim said, "I
feel great. I was old cold last night." Everyone was dying laughing and he
said, "No. You didn't. Brandy, did you do it to me again?" She was beat red
and he started to laugh also.

We all had breakfast and coffee and talked about the show some more. Mary and
Beth were still making fun of Jim and we were all laughing about it again.
Mary said, "Jim, when I have an orgasm, my entire body goes into spasms. It
would probably wake me out of coma. How in the fuck could sleep through
that?" He said, "After I have a few beers a bomb could off and it won't wake
me up."

Mary heard the phone ringing in her room and ran to get it. She came back
into the room in a minute and said, "That was Darla. Her mom faked the whole
thing to get attention. She asked me to cancel them out of the next three
gigs if I can so they can get her professional help and take care of their
dad."

Debbie said, "She just had a heart attack. How can be faking a new one?" Mary
said, "The last one was fake also. Darla got the doctors records. She said to
call her on her cell after we finish eating. Trisha, you guys ready to play
some really big gigs this month?" They were all cheering and Michelle said,
"Oh God help us."

I called Darla from the speakerphone in the lounge area and I said, "We're
all here. What in the hell happened? Your mom is so normal and calm when
she's around us." Darla said, "Who in the fuck knows. She flipped out. We
have her seeing a shrink and Tammy and I need to stay here for at least a
week, maybe two. I know this sucks for everyone. If we can get a live-in
nurse this week, we'll do the gigs." Mary said, "We'll put Broken Hearts in
the slot with Southland and fill in your slots by shifting things around this
month. They did terrific last night and don't worry about anything. As soon
as you want to play again, we'll get you back in the schedule. If you want to
stay local for a few weeks, we can do that too. Jerry has a gig in Memphis in
four weeks and Dane has one the week after that. We can slot you with them."
Darla said, "Thanks Mary. This really sucks. I'm ready to scare the crap out
of my mom so she really does have a fucking heart attack."

We were all laughing and so was Darla. We could hear Tammy laughing in the
background and she got on the phone and said, "We missed your first big show.
I'm so sorry. How did it go?" All of us talked about how good they were for
about a half hour. Michelle said, "Tammy, Kate and Debbie out did themselves
on this one, along with Mary and Beth. The band is unbelievable. The overall
show with both bands was the best show I have ever seen. All of you have some
serious competition now." Tammy said, "Guess we know who gets best new act
this year at the Grammy's and CMAs. Congrats guys." Michelle said, "If they
don't win, then we know the voting's fixed." Darla got back on the line and
said, "We have to go. The shirks are here."

We packed our things, checked out, and then headed to the airport.  All of us
sleep the entire plane ride back. When we got home Gretchen and Brenda were
waiting for us and congratulated new band. Gretchen said, "There was a report
on about your show on the music network. The reporter called it captivating
and the best he's ever seen." Trisha ran in the den and put on the station
and one of their songs was playing. We all were grinning as the whole band
ran into the den to watch. We walked in and it was the music from the show
playing behind the reporter's story again. We all listened to him and I said,
"Excellent advertisement. We couldn't had paid for anything better." Debbie
said, "Trisha, you hear that sound?" She said, "What sound?" Debbie said,
"That's the sound of millions of people on the internet ordering your new
CD." We all were grinning again.

The next day we had Broken Hearts come with us to the film editing studio at
the office. They helped us create the final viewings of the show and the
concert footage. I said, "This one airs exactly two weeks from tomorrow. Then
the show continues to search for people for three more weeks, which we
already taped. We'll probably tape a few more shows to see if we can find
anyone else that we can produce into a top notch act."

We called Michelle and Chet in to see the final concert show and they watched
it with us. I said, "It airs in two weeks. That should drive up CD sales for
both bands." Michelle said, "This was a brilliant idea. We also have a hit TV
show on our hands that I don't know what to do with. You want to keep doing
it for a while?" I said, "We'll film a few more this week and next to see
what we find. Lets advertise in New Orleans, Austin, and a few other music
oriented cities.

When we got home I called our judges about the show and only Brandy and
Danica wanted to keep doing it. I said, "Trisha, you want to be a judge? It
could be good publicity. Lets check the tour schedule first." We found Mary
in the study with Beth and I said, "Can we use Trisha as a judge in the show
for a while or will they be leaving in the next two weeks to tour?" Beth
said, "They're playing weekends only for a while. Look at these numbers." She
turned the monitors we could see it and I said, "That's from that one
concert?" She said, "People came to the flea market without tickets hoping to
get in and we sold over 100,000 CDs. Not to mention all of the merchandise we
shipped for both bands. In ticket sales alone we did over 19 million." Trisha
said, "How much of that do we get?" Mary said, "Ballpark numbers, 9 million
give or take. That's without the retail stuff, which I need to figure out."
She was screaming to the others and I called Brandy back and said, "Ask Jim
if he wants to be a judge also." I heard her ask him and he got on the phone
and said, "Only if you promise to wake me up next time." I said, "It was your
wife's idea. Not mine." He was laughing again and I said, "I'll call you back
with the dates for the film shoots."

We went in the den again and Trisha and the others were walking on air. They
called their parents on the speakerphone and we listened as Trisha said,
"Dad, we had a lousy night. Looks like we only made 9 million." He said, "No
way you made that much." I said, "Hi Bob. It's Kate. It's most likely a
little over 10 million for their share. We had a real good night in
merchandise sales and CDs. Plus it was a sponsored event, where Chevrolet
paid for all of the expenses. That's why the cars were all over the arena
floor when you first walked in." He said, "What a great idea that was. We
bought our new truck there before the show. The price was cheaper than any
dealer around here and they're having it delivered to us." I said, "Thank
Gretchen for that one. It was her idea."

Debbie and I were hooked on riding horses and spent an entire day with our
horses on trails in a heavily wooded area by a lake. We stopped and tied the
horses up and sat by the edge of the lake under some tall pine trees. We
kissed for about a half hour and Debbie said, "This is so much like Alaska,
sitting here by the lake with you. Kate, I love this." I said, "Except were
not shivering." She kissed me again and we were so into each other.

We rode back to our stable and then went into the house to eat. I said,
"Trisha, you ready for the `Be Discovered' filming tomorrow? We start in
Washington CD, and then go to Richmond." She said, "Shit yeah. Can everyone
come and watch?" I said, "Sure. Just sit in the audience."

The next morning we left at 8 for the airport to go to Washington. We took a
limo to some club in the city and the film crew was already there and there
was line of people outside. They all waved to us as we walked in and the film
crew was laughing already. Bob said to us, "We heard one group rehearsing
outside. This one is the worst so far by a long shot. You're going to die."
The place was already set up. Brandy, Jim, Danica, and Trisha sat at a
judge's table and we sat up front. Lou-Ann, Daisy, Laura, and Val sat in the
audience seats. The crew let in the audience and contestants and we got the
filming underway. Bob was right. This band was the worst we have ever heard
and none of us could stop laughing. Everyone in the audience was cracking up.
We did hear one good singer but when we talked to her later she had such and
attitude we cut the conversation short.

We did the same thing in Richmond that same day and in this one we all almost
wet the chairs. Trisha told on guy that if he looked up the phase "off key"
in the dictionary, it would be his picture. We found one band that was okay,
but nothing really good. We flew from there to Austin Texas and spent the
night at a fantastic hotel.

The filming started in Austin at a club on 6th street and we heard one
descent band after the other. We couldn't believe it. We found two that we
liked and asked them to play for us again. Danica and Debbie were in love
with the guitar work. We talked to both bands and I said, "We may be
interested. We'll give you a call probably next week. Are you interested in
seeing our show this weekend here in Austin? We have extra tickets with us?"
One group was all over us for the tickets and the lead guitar player in the
other band said, "No thanks. We think you're great musicians but we don't
like that style of music."

We gave the one group the tickets and I said, "Stop backstage before the
show. There's a VIP badge in there also." We all went back to the hotel and
we were talking about the group that didn't like the material as we ate
dinner and had a few drinks. I said, "Then none of us can write for them. If
there own material is not as good as we need it to be, then it's a no vote."
Who feels like going to San Antonio with us tomorrow?" Everyone wanted to go
except Danica who had to fly to Chicago for The Crooked Road's next show.
Debbie said, "Lets leave here around noon and spend the day on the river
walk. Danica, we'll drop you at the airport on the way."

We went to San Antonio and loved it as usual. This was the Broken Hearts
first time and they were like us on the River walk. It was so romantic. We
stopped in a few small clubs and listened to the mostly Texas style blues
bands playing as we had a few beers. In one club we were mobbed with people
wanting all of our autographs. They all recognized Trisha and she was on
cloud 9.

The Austin Concert was about as good as it gets. The fans in Texas are
wonderful and really let you know if they love you or hate you. Broken Hearts
had an even better show than last time and we felt compelled to top them and
I think we came close. The group we gave the tickets too got into a fight in
the flea market area before the show started and were ejected and then
arrested. We scratched them off our list.

The film crew was still with us and after the show Bob, the team lead for the
crew, came backstage and said, "You have to check this out." We had a police
escort walk us through the audience and into the flea market area. There was
a band performing with folk guitars and acoustic bass and we listened to them
do some neat material and we really like it. I noticed the crew was filming
it as Debbie and I walked to the band and I said, "That sound's really good.
Is that your own material?" A guy about 25 said in a heavy Virgina drawl, "We
write it all. Kate, we loved your show tonight and were just making some
music to pass the time." Debbie smiled and sat down next a woman who was
playing guitar and Debbie said, "You interested in doing this for a living?"
She said, "Ya'll sound like you're from Nashville. We do this fir a living
now. Don't make too much though. Mostly small places like this." I said, "Any
interest in playing at big places like this, as on the stage inside?" One of
the other guys said to us, "You want us to Be Discovered. Hell, if ya'll can
make something out of us West Virginia folk, God dang we'd do it."

Trisha, Brandy, and Jim loved them and we sat and talked for a few minutes
and got all of their information. They were the nicest people we have met in
a long time. I said, "We'll call you next week. Will you be home in West
Virginia?" The one guy said, "If the truck holds up to get us back, we'll be
there." Debbie gave them our number and said, "If the truck doesn't get you
back, call us."

The film crew was still filming and we signed a few autographs for people, as
the police escorted us backstage again. I said, "Thank you." The police
officer said, "You really think those hillbillies can play like you did?" I
said, "Not like us. It's a different style of country music that a lot of
people like also. They are damn good at it and such down to earth people. We
loved talking to them." The officer said, "You are so much different than the
idiots we usually get in here to play. You're one of the best of all time,
and you're normal." We were laughing and Debbie said, "I'm not so sure about
the normal part, but we try hard." The cop was laughing at us and we signed
his ticket book.

We did the autograph thing outside and then went to the hotel. Debbie and I
had a wonderful night of making passionate love for hours.

I called Michelle after we got home the next day and told her about the
hillbilly band and she said, "Let see the footage first."

The film footage was there on Monday and we sat with Michelle and watched it.
She loved our interview of them and said, "I like them but I have o clue how
to sell them. Let me do some homework first." We did the film editing and
made five more half hour shows out of it.

On Thursday Michelle called us up and said, "Lets get that Hillbilly band in
here. One of our AR-&R reps use to deal in this type music and we have no one
on the label in it now. Its not real big, but it's real cheap to get into." I
said, "Let me give the A&R rep the info and he can take it from here."
Michelle said "She can take it from here. It's Julie." I said, "She was in
this stuff?" Michelle was laughing and said, "She's from the Smokey Mountains
in West Virginia. Give her a call."

I called Julie and gave her all of the information and she said, "I loved the
tape of them." Debbie said, "If they don't answer, their truck died on the
way back from Texas." Julie was laughing and said, "Yup. West Virginia."


CHAPTER 25 - MATURING LIKE A FINE WINE


Debbie and I really enjoyed the next three years.  We toured with Broken
Hearts for the first 4 months, and then we traded off with other acts.

Georgia Passion got back into the swing of things again a few weeks after
they stopped. Darla told us the doctor gave her mother a brain transplant. It
was called Prozac. We laughed about it and then Debbie wrote a note on her
pad for a song. I lost it laughing my ass off.

I did win the pool on the Broken hearts CD. It went Platinum in 3 weeks. We
all released another CD that year as well and sales from those were way
beyond what any of us guessed. The money at this point was totally absurd.

We kept the `Be Discovered' show going until the end of the summer, as it was
so funny. We got a nomination for an Emmy for it and didn't go to the show in
LA. We won and we were so surprised when we watched it on TV. One of our
friends was there and accepted it for us.

We all got our share of Grammy and CMA awards. Broken Hearts won best new act
at both shows. I made the presentation for best new act at the Grammy's and
when we opened the envelope I said, "I am so proud. Now the students are
teaching the teachers and they will be for a long time to come. The winner is
Broken Hearts." Trisha screamed as they all came to the stage and hugged us
for at least a minute before they gave a speech that made Debbie and me cry.
We got best song for one of the tunes we wrote for Trisha on her new CD and
they got an award for it too. Debbie and I felt so proud that night.

The hillbilly band got signed and we love their music. They play mostly in
the southeast and are making decent money. They still have the same truck and
we all laugh about it.

Trisha, Lou-Ann, Daisy, Laura, and Val all live with us on permanent basis.
We all love it, as it's so chaotic everyday. Gretchen calls it a full home
now.

Debbie and I went back to Alaska again and truly enjoyed it even though we
froze a few times. Margi and Carrie are island hopping again and we have now
been to ten islands with them.

Brandy got pregnant and delivered a baby boy she named Todd. Her and Jim
retired to raise kids, which is why we stopped playing towards the end of the
year we started Broken Hearts. Linda and Gail are a couple and adopted two
children so they decided to stay home too.

Debbie and I had a long soul searching discussion when Brandy was pregnant
and both of us decided we loved each other way to much to get emotionally
involved with guys, but we want to have kids. There were two guys that were
the exception, and we all discussed it and figured that it just wouldn't
work. We called her mom and Carrie and talked about it with them and they
both suggested artificial insemination. We kind of cheated a little by
selecting the donors, and had wild sex with them before we did the actual
insemination in the lab that they donated. We all decided to not tell the
kids until they were over 18.

Being pregnant really sucked, as we both got to be the size of a piano. We
both knew in the fourth month we were having girls and converted two rooms
upstairs to pink and animals. The last two months was horrible and neither of
us could even drive. We did still made love and that was almost comical. I
loved to lay and listen with my ear on Debbie's belly to the child moving.
She did it to me for hours also. Then she tried to talk to it through my
pussy.

We both went into labor on the same day and it was like watching a comedy
show. Everyone was panicking except us. We had a limo take us to the hospital
with Gretchen and Brenda as the others all followed in cars. Margi and Carrie
met us at the hospital and they were great with us as we cursed more in one
hour than either of us did in the past 5 years. Debbie was right next to me
in the delivery room and we looked at each and she said, "I love you honey.
Oh fuck does this hurt!"

Our baby girls were born 5 minutes apart. I held my baby in my arms and I
realized it was the most amazing thing that this thing came out of me. She
had all of my features. Debbie and I sat up a little as she had her baby and
then the doctor let us hold each other's baby. We didn't want to offend
anyone by naming them after one person, so we named my baby Lee-Ann and
Debbie's Caryn.

That first night in the hospital the father's came to visit and we let them
both hold the babies. They still wanted to marry us and Debbie said, "You two
are uncles and we want you around for all of it with them. We'll tell the
kids the truth when they are older."

The first breast-feeding was a riot as we were such klutzes, but that did
improve when we went home the next day. We each fed our own baby and then we
switched so they would bond with both us. For the next 6 weeks we did nothing
but care for the kids. We were so wrapped up in it.

Everyone came to visit and see our new music monsters as they were called due
to their screaming. Both have one strong set of lungs. Jerry and Jim both
sincerely volunteered to be a man figure in the kid's lives if we wanted it
or needed it. We both were in tears and thanked them as I called them Uncle
Jerry and Uncle Jim. They both smiled.

We hired a live in Nanny to care for the kids when they were two months old
and Debbie and I got part of our lives back. We made love for two days
straight, only stopping to eat and feed the kids.

We finally got out of the house after 3 months and went to see one of
Trisha's concerts in Nashville. They introduced us sitting in the front row
and we got a standing ovation. We both blushed as we hadn't played in over a
year on stage, but our CDs were still selling. After the show we went
backstage and hugged Trisha for doing that and she said, "Since you don't
have a band any more, and you have a nanny, how about playing with us? We are
only going to play twice a month now. It should be fun." Debbie and I looked
at other and smiled. I said, "When do we start boss?" They were all laughing
as Trisha said, "You just did."

The next day we sat with them and went over who would do what as we knew all
of the material. We played a practice show and it sounded so good we were all
laughing about it. We called Michelle and she was busting our chops and said,
"The first concert has to be at the place they held Woodstock in 1969 in New
York State. You could easily pack it. I'll make the arrangements." Trisha
said, "Twice a month and that's all. This is a hobby now for all of us."
Michelle said, "I hear you and I think it's great."

Our kids were only 4 months old and they were in a stroller watching us act
like idiots with the band and laughing. Debbie said, "I swear they must be
talking to each other. They laugh at the same time and cry at the same time."

Mary and Beth were asking us about artificial insemination and we gave them
all of the information from the place we used. I said, "Tell us when you're
due, so we can help you decorate another two rooms." They both were smiling
and Mary said, "We already decided to do it. We want to match the donors
carefully like you did." They also booked us a concert in Memphis for the new
group and we were all excited about it. She called us the "The Broken Hearts
of Southland." We were all cracking up when we read the show flyer. She said,
"The Crooked Road and Georgia Passion are on with you also. You'll have a
blast."

Debbie and I spent as much time with the kids as we could. We loved being
mothers but we also liked being by ourselves and making love. I can honestly
say that we became more passionate to each other and are more in love, since
the kids were born. It's like we are one person sometimes. We even think the
same.

We went to our first on stage concert again in over a year and Trisha was
busting our chops giving us directions. We had a blast on the ride down and
the sound checks as we talked to all of the engineers we hadn't seen in a
while.  Kathy's band, The Crooked Road played first and then Georgia Passion.
We were announced as The Broken Hearts of Southland and the crowd went
ballistic. We were laughing on stage as Val clicked off the first tune.

The music sounded better than any time any of us has been on stage and we all
knew it. We had a blast with the show and all of us improvised things and
gags. We did a 75 minute show and played 8 of the Southland hits also
including two slow ones that were so moving. The crowd was cheering and
clapping almost nonstop. When we got to the last song, Tricia said into the
mic, "So how do you like our new band?" The cheers we so loud we had to cover
our ears as we all were smiling. I said, "One last tune and its an old
favorite of ours. Sing along with us." We did a medley of the Beer song and
Love sucks. The audience loved it and we were all smiling at each other on
stage. When we ended it, we all hugged and then walked to the front of the
stage. The other groups came on stage and they hugged all of us and held up
our hands high as the audience was standing and the cheering was getting
louder. What a great feeling that was.

We walked off stage and I said, "That felt great!" Everyone was hugging and
kissing. Margi, Carrie, Gretchen, Brenda, and Michelle came back stage and I
said, "I had no idea you were here." Margi hugged us and said, "You not only
haven't lost it, you were better tonight than ever. This band just raised the
bar for performance. It was unreal and we loved the show." I said, "Trisha,
Lou-Ann, Daisy, Laura, and Val made this band what it is. We're just along
for the ride now and having fun." Trisha said, "Not! You two made this band
for us. You are brilliant, and better musically than any of us will ever be.
That sound on stage tonight was like magic, and it was you two making that
happen, not us. We rose to the occasion." I hugged Trisha and so did Debbie
as we were both getting choked up.

We all had a cigarette as we sat down and had a beer. Michelle said, "I can't
believe how good that was. The people who were here tonight will remember
this show forever. It will be talked about forever." I said, "Debbie, how's
your signing hand? We've been out of practice." She cuddle up to me and said,
"Who gives a fuck" and kissed me. Everyone clapped and we laughed. Margi
said, "Their kids are going to be amazing."

We went out and signed autographs for about 20 minutes and then we all took
one of the stretched limos back home to Nashville. We cheeked on the kids and
they were sound asleep so we went to bed and fucked our brains out. Debbie
and I were totally wild and we both loved it. We fell asleep at 4 in the
morning.

We got up at 10 in the morning and did our morning routine and then went
downstairs to play with the kids. Chris, the Nanny, said, "They were just
fine last night. They are so well behaved." I said, "Hi Lee-Ann. It's mommy
honey." She smiled and reached out for me to hold her and I picked her up, as
Debbie was doing the same thing. I said, "Lee-Ann, last night me and Aunt
Debbie made total fools of ourselves again and loved every minute of it.
People actually pay to watch us do it too." Debbie was laughing at me and
Caryn started to laugh.

We held the kids as we eat and the Chris took them both for a walk in the
stroller around the back yard. I lit a cigarette as Debbie poured us some
coffee and she said, "That was so much fun last night, but twice a month is
about right." I nodded and took a drag of my cigarette and said, "Do we
really make that much of a difference when we play in a band? I through
Broken Hearts sounded great before." Debbie said, "Big difference and I have
no idea why. Everyone tells us the same thing plus you can hear it on the
CDs."

Trisha came down stairs with Lou-Ann and they started playing with our kids
who were giggling.  Debbie and I knew that they were destined to be social
butterflies by the age of three.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


We played twice a month most months and the shows kept getting better. We
recorded another CD of new material that Debbie and I wrote, as Mary and Beth
were too busy to join in as they both had baby boys born 6 weeks earlier.
Both kids are adorable.

Michelle called our new CD a masterpiece. I can honestly say that this is the
first CD that Debbie and I were truly happy with. On all of the others we
always knew a few things we're the way we wanted it. Trisha sat in the
mastering room and just starred at the blank wall after the CD was over and
said softly, "I can't believe we recorded this." I said through a bull horn
Chet had laying around, "Earth to commander Trisha. Come in please." She
started to laugh and said, "You helped all of us build something that will be
remembered forever. I want to savor the moment for a while." Debbie said, "We
have 16 more tunes just like them. The moment will be repeated in 8 months
again."

Our kids grew fast. The first time Lee-Ann said, "mom" I flipped and was
crying and hugging her. Caryn was a day behind and Debbie was even worse than
me. The kids started talking really young and were gaba-gailing to each other
all day. Half of the stuff they said we didn't have a clue what it was, but
they seemed to know.

By one year old they were both walking and running all over and Chris was
great with them. We turned one of the unused rooms downstairs into a huge
child's play room and we bought almost everything on the market for one year
olds. The 8 foot high yellow plastic house was the thing that made Trisha
almost wet her pants. She called it Big Bird's house.

We made few TV appearances one month instead of playing and that was fun. The
host said to us, "You all have more money than the catholic church. Why do
you still do this?" I said, "Because we love doing it. It's a hobby now."
They asked Trisha when she was going to have kids and she blushed and said,
"I'm thinking about it." When we got home from the show Trisha said, "We all
were artificially inseminated three months ago. Just please don't tell our
parents yet." We were all laughing about it and I said, "Looks like we off
about 6 months starting in 4 months." They were all nodding.

No matter what, we all show up at the Grammy's and CMAs. That year, Debbie
and I were the only one's that could walk to the podium, as everyone else was
so pregnant. We joked about it as we accepted the awards. All of us combined
walked away with 28 awards at the Grammies and 31 at the CMAs. We even won
the motion picture sound track as someone used all of our tunes for a major
film that won everything this year also. We laughed about it for hours.

Trisha, Lou-Ann, Val, Daisy, and Laura all went into labor within a two-day
period. It was total chaos. Gretchen and Brenda were laughing about it before
hand, as none of us knew where to start. We ended up having a fleet of limos
on call and as each one had labor pains, a limo took them to the hospital
with one of us, and the others followed.

Trisha had girl she named Tess after her mom. Lou-Ann had a boy, and so did
Val. Daisy and Laura had girls.

We hired a decorator and did the rooms, and then called an agency for nannies
to interview. We figured two more for the tribe, as we called them. We also
had Chris interview the people for us and she was so through. I increased her
pay by a lot and had her manage the ones we hired. She was smiling and said,
"Cool." Mary and Beth added one more to the list so Chris was now managing
three.

Our kids got to be a total piss when they were about 18 months old. They were
like little monkeys around the house. Debbie and I still play with them all
the time and Lee-Ann got stuck in the Big Bird's house at the top. Some how
she climbed up the inside walls and got wedged in the roof. We had to take it
apart and were laughing our ass off as Lee-Ann was saying, "I'm stuck mom.
Help me." Chris put some foam inside the top as we put it back together so
they couldn't get stuck again. Caryn did something equally stupid and we
laughed again as we had to move the books in the bookcase to get her out.

Margi kept telling us we need a dog for the kids and we finally gave in and
bought two dogs when Trisha's daughter turned one. We hire someone to train
the dogs to be around little kids and also housebreak them. The kids loved
the stupid dogs who were so gentle we couldn't believe it.

We finally got back to playing again and recorded a double CD. We recorded
the tunes we write a while ago but never did and a second platter called,
"Motherhood in Southland." They were a mix of touching, inspirational,
tearjerkers, and a few just fun tunes. All were about being a mother. We
advertised it as a free bonus CD and Michelle loved that idea.

We went back to playing one night a month and then we did several twice a
month gigs and all decided once a month was plenty as the kids came first.

When Lee-Ann and Caryn turned 3 they were total terrors. They made fun of the
other kids for wetting their pants and we were loosing our patience. I sat
Lee-Ann down and said, "Let me explain something to you." She said, "What's
that mommy?" I said, "You are a year older than some of the other kids.
Instead of make fun of them, you should be leading them and showing them what
to do. Not making them feel lousy. Encourage them to do it the right way. Do
you understand what I'm trying to tell you?" She looked me in the eye and
smiled as she said, "Yup. Don't make fun of Tess for peeing in her panties. I
should take her to the bathroom. I can do that." She did it and shocked the
shit out of all of us and then explained it to Caryn who nodded and helped
her. Trisha said, "They are you two to the tee."

All of the kids loved our music and we started playing acoustic instruments
for the kids once a week as a two hour family thing. All of the parents came
when they could and we made it for Sunday dinner. We found ourselves playing
some kids tunes too and Michel was over one time and said, "Do a kids album
for Christmas, just like this. How about we film it over here you playing to
your own kids. Every network would kill for this." I said, "Lee-Ann, and
Caryn. You want to be on TV?" Lee-Ann said, "No thank you. We hate to watch
the junk that's on TV." I said, "Sorry." Michelle was laughing and said, "She
is right."

For Christmas that year, besides hundreds of toys, we got all of kids' music
and art lessons. It was really interesting as one of us sat in for each
lesson and the kids were like sponges and loved it. Lee-Ann could really sing
and so could Caryn and Tess. Tess was a year younger and she was still good.

When Tess turned 3, and ours were 4, we let them come to a concert with the
nannies. They sat in the very front row dead center so we could see them. It
was a riot as the kids were mesmerized by the fact everyone was clapping for
us and cheering. At the end of the show we got all or our kids from the
nannies and let them stand on stage with us as the audience was cheering and
going nuts. They were all such hams we loved it. They were waving like we
were and bowing. They made the front page of the paper where we played the
next day. After the show Lee-Ann said to me, "Mom, that was so much fun on
stage. Now I know why you and aunt Debbie love to do this." I said, "Weren't
you scared with all of the people looking at you?" She said, "No. It was kind
of cool." Debbie was trying not to laugh. We still think they liked bouncing
on the hotel beds better than being at the show.

Debbie and I had serious sex that night in the hotel and we kept laughing
thinking about how the entire tribe was bouncing on our bed like a
trampoline.

When Lee-Ann and Caryn turned 5 we sent them to kindergarten. We were the
typical nervous parents and had a limo drive them to school the first day,
which was a total mistake. They both came home crying and Lee-Ann said, "They
made fun of us and called us the rich kids in the huge castle. I told them,
it was hotel and we just lived there. That's right isn't it?"

I sat her down on my lap and Caryn on Debbie's lap and said, "No, that's not
quite right. This is our home. Debbie and I actually own it, but we all live
here, and anyone in this house could buy one themselves. We are all rich.
Very, very, very rich and that is nothing to be ashamed about. It means we
have tons of money and can buy anything we want and they can't. Next time
they call you a rich kid, just say I know I am and thank you. Feel better
now?" Caryn said, "We own this huge place. Wow! We thought it was hotel and
you ran it, and we were broke because no one stays here very often." We were
laughing and I said, "No. We aren't broke." Both kids were smiling and Lee-
Ann said, "Wait until tomorrow. Boy, are they going to be pissed at us."

They went to play and Tess said, "You mean this isn't a hotel?" Trisha was
now laughing and said, "No honey it's not."

The next day we got a call from the school and Debbie and I had to go see the
principle. We went in our new Rolls and went in the office. He invited us
into his office and he said, "You're thee Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin?" Oh
my God. I'm so sorry about this. Please sit down and I'll explain in a
second." He buzzed someone on his intercom and said, "Mrs. Gender, I want you
in my office now and bring little Lee-Ann and Caryn. Right now please."

We waited and they walked in. Lee-Ann said, "Hi mom." I said, "Have you been
crying again?" She nodded and a tear was coming out again as she said, "Mrs.
Gender yelled at us and called me a liar. I hate her. All I did was tell her
what you told me yesterday."

I said, "I think we have a little problem here. Why did you yell at my
daughter?" The woman said nothing and I said, "An explanation is in order
here. How about you? You called us down here. This is the second day of
school and the second time our kids cried in school. What's wrong with this
picture? I can sit here all day if that's what it takes to get a straight
answer."

The teacher said, "I thought she was making it up. I had no idea who you
were." Debbie said, "So if a child has an imagination you yell at them?
That's great for the art and music program. In my opinion you shouldn't be
teaching. Kate and I have never used our billions to harm anyone. If my
daughter comes home again like yesterday, I will use every penny to make your
life a total living hell. You understand me?" She nodded and Debbie said,
"And I expect an apology from you to us and most importantly to our kids.
They're the ones you hurt. This upsets me and I don't remember that last time
either one us raised our voice and was upset about anything. We have never
yelled at our kids about anything. There is no need too." The teacher said
nothing and I said, "Well sit here all night, if that's what it takes to get
you to apologize to our kids."

We sat and waited for over a half hour. I picked up my cell phone and called
a realtor and said, "Hi Martha, can you tell me if the land around Hill Top
school is still for sale?" "Yeah all of it." "How much they asking?" "Not
bad. Is it zoned so I can start and garbage dump?" "No I'm dead serious?"
"Yeah. Call me back."

She apologized to the kids and then I said, "And to us also, or so help me
I'll buy it like I said. It's only 2 million and that's a drop in the
bucket." We got the apology and I said, "Thank you. Now don't let it happen
again." Lee-Ann said, "Is it okay if we go play with the kids again? They
think it's cool who you are. Especially when I told them about being at the
concert last year with Caryn." I said, "Sure honey. We'll see you later. Have
fun."

The teacher left and we stayed. The principle was very nervous and I said,
"Do you manage this place or do the inmates run the asylum? Why didn't you
tell her to apologize?" He said, "Tenure. I can't do anything to her. You
want some friendly advice? Send all of your kids to Gates academy. It's two
miles from here and they will be much happier."

He gave us the number of the place and we decided to drive there. We drove in
and drove out. I said, "I am not sending my daughter to a boarding school.
Looks like the battle is just beginning." Debbie and I bought all of the land
the next week and sent a copy of the deed to the teacher and principle. Lee-
Ann and Caryn have been very happy since then. Everyone is laughing about it
and we really got pissed at the school. Trisha said, "If that's as made as
you two get, they are going to flip when they see me explode on them."

Debbie and I were having total orgasmic sex and then we got into it in the
morning again in bed. We were kissing each other and cuddling when we looked
up to Lee-Ann and Caryn sitting on the bed. I said, "Good morning. How long
have you been in here?" Lee-Ann said, "About 5 minutes. We wanted you to come
down for breakfast." Debbie said, "As soon as we get up and shower. We got up
and went into the bathroom and the kids came in with us. We were very careful
and just washed and stuff. We were dressing and Lee-Ann said, "Why were you
kissing aunt Debbie?" I said, "First off, she isn't really your aunt. We just
had you call her that. Just like I'm not your blood relative aunt, Caryn.
Debbie and I are partners and we love each other very much. That's why we
kissed." Caryn said, "Cool" and they both ran downstairs.

Debbie and I were laughing and she said, "I didn't know what to say. We knew
we would have to explain it, but not yet. That was very good." She wrapped
her arms around me and we both melted in a kiss.

When our kids were in the first grade, Trisha and the others went through
what we did with kindergarten. We gave them the deed to carry on their first
trip to the office. Apparently Trisha really blew her cork and the school
called us and begged us to get her to stop. We drove to the school to find
her already having a huge green fence put up for a garbage dump on our land.
I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. We went into the office and I said,
"This is not our battle. You need to satisfy Trisha and the others. If she
puts up the garbage dump, so be it." Trisha winked at me and then really went
crazy. She got her way and we left the fence up as a reminder.

We took all of the kids to another concert when our kids were in second grade
and this time they all really enjoyed it. They sat through The Crooked Road
first and knew everyone also. Kathy, Janice, and Danica kept waving to them
the whole concert. When we went on stage they were nuts. Lee-Ann kept
screaming, "That's my mom! That's my mom!" They stood and danced to our music
all night and we loved it. At the end of the night we let them onstage again
and the audience went wild as they waved with us. We had someone film it on
video to save for when they get older.

After that show they all wanted to learn to play every instrument and we gave
them the lessons. We loved every minute of it.


CHAPTER 26 - TEENAGERS


Bob retied as CEO and Michelle got his job. She hired someone new that we
found, to take her old job, and it's working out great. Her name is Stella.

We suffered through the kid's puberty phase and then they became more like
human beings again and friends. We still occasionally had to lay down the
law, but it was very rare.

Chris became so close to us, we decided to let her stay here even though the
kids didn't need a nanny. Plus all of the kids loved her. We also set her up
financially for life and helped her adopt two children. Now she's raising
them here with us.

We had a giant birthday party for our kids turning 17 and the others turning
16. Mary and Beth's kids were the half-year difference so they got their own
party but we bought everyone at least one present at both parties. We had
over 300 kids from the high school at the parties. All of the kids are
definitely social butterflies.

Things aren't all that wonderful in the other families. Brandy left Jim and
has their son here with us. Since Jim retired he has done nothing and looks
horrible. Brandy said, "We have nothing in common, plus I really miss being
with both of you and Barb." Brandy is also playing with us again and she
loves it. Barb and Jerry also split up and Barb now shares a bedroom with
Brandy. Her son is here too. Jerry comes over a lot to see his son and he
looks like he's close to 70 years old. We can't believe it. Debbie and I
turned 43 this year, and everyone tells us we look like we just turned 33. We
still feel 33 too.

A few years ago we bought all of the kids their own horses and they all ride
now. We bought Lee-Ann and Caryn their own cars for turning 17 and they were
smiling from ear to ear. We let them pick out what they wanted and Lee-Ann
got the Mercedes 560 convertible and Caryn got the Porsche 911 cabriolet. We
know they're sleeping together, but we let it go. Debbie called them mini-me
the other day and they got so pissed at her. I lied and said, "It's actually
a compliment about how well you write and play music." They didn't buy it and
we just laughed.

We keep telling the kids we're going to retire from playing and they keep
talking us into playing again as everyone still loves our music. We recorded
a new CD this year and its already platinum.

All of the kids play everything and sing, but we haven't pushed them at all
to do it on stage. They all love going to our concerts though. Lee-Ann and
Caryn have been writing songs and they played them for everyone the other
night. They are both just like us; even their singing voices are the same.
Debbie and I couldn't believe the lyrics to the songs. We know they studied
all of our tapes and sheet music and we think they figured out how we do it.
They're new material sounds just like something we would have written.
Debbie said to me, "Lets get them to perform at one of our shows."

About 6 months later Debbie and I were almost alone in the house which was
such a freak event, we were laughing about the quite. Almost everyone else
was out horseback riding for the day they planned for the last week.  Debbie
and I were cuddle up against each other in the den watching TV in peace and
quite and just enjoying each other's company. We both were having a cigarette
and some white wine when Lee-Ann and Caryn came in and sat down with us. I
said, "I thought you went riding with the others." Lee-Ann said, "We decided
to stay home. Mom, can we ask you a few questions?" I said, "Sure. We don't
have the answer to what happened to the dinosaurs but everything else we're
pretty good at." They were smiling and Lee-Ann said, "I'm serious. What a
happened to your parents, my Grandparents?" I said, "It's a long and horrible
story. You really want to hear it?"

Lee-Ann and Caryn took two cigarettes out of the pack on the table and lit
them up, as Lee-Ann said, "We want to hear it." I started with, "My parent's
had a lot so money. Not like we have, but still they were wealthy. They were
both partners in a large architecture company. I was raised in Georgia and
then we moved to New Jersey, which is where the problems started."

I told them everything. I said, "When the cop killed my father, he ran out to
attack us. Ginny doesn't remember it, but she bit his hand and he dropped the
hammer. I grabbed it and hit him hard. Then the worst part started, but it
did have a happy ending." Debbie told them how we met and fell madly in love
when we were 17. She explained how when I was acquitted of all of the charges
and that I decided to stay with her, and then she was acquitted also. I said,
"Thank God my dad was such a freak for video surveillance security systems."
They were smiling and I said, "We used the money that I inherited to make a
shit load more money and we were funding our own Demo of our music."

Debbie said, "Caryn, our family is equally as screwed up. My father, who you
have never met, is still alive but refuses to have anything to do with any of
us. He totally flipped out when I was arrested and was sent to the detention
center. My mom left him and that was it. She was a record company executive
and I grew up in Nashville, actually only about 5 minutes from our house
here. We moved to New Jersey when my mom got transferred to run a label in
New York and my dad became a partner in law firm in New York. My mom was
promoted again and had Michelle's job before her. She heard our demo and
signed us when I was 18 and Kate was still 17 for a few months. The rest is
pretty much what everyone else knows about us.

Lee-Ann said, "How romantic. Mom, you stayed in jail to be with Debbie? I'm
going to cry." Caryn was holding her and I said, "Want to see some of the
things we saved about you growing up?" We took out our scrape book of
pictures and newspaper headlines and they were amazed. Lee-Ann said, "Why is
there a picture of that ugly huge fence by the grammar school with the sign
Garbage Dump on it?" We were cracking up as we remembered it and told them. I
said, "We still own all of that land." They were howling.

We showed them the videos of their first time on stage as little kids and
then again when they were 7 and Lee-Ann said, "I remember both of those. Mom,
you and Debbie were so good on stage. You still are, but wow. Sexy isn't the
word for it." We were smiling and showed them a ton of stuff we kept.

Lee-Ann said, "That song you wrote called Remembering You, was that about
your mom and dad?" I nodded my head and she started to cry. So did I and we
held each other. Debbie was crying too and so was Caryn as we all balled like
little kids for about 5 minutes.

We got it back together and Lee-Ann said, "One more question. You said we can
ask you anything except about the dinosaurs. Caryn and I are an item, like
you two are. That's why I was so pissed about the mini-me comment you made."
Debbie and I were smiling and Lee-Ann said, "Can you teach us about having
sex together? We kind of know the basics, but we need some help here."

Debbie looked at me and said, "Only if you promise never to tell a single
sole, forever. Even after we're long gone and buried." Lee-Ann said, "That's
cool." I said, "Come into our private office." We took them to our bedroom
and Debbie locked the door.

I said, "First tell us what you know and what you've done with each other and
with boys. Don't leave anything out. We won't get embarrassed. Trust me on
this one." Lee-Ann and Caryn were telling us they had sex with all of the
kids and liked getting laid, but were so into each other. They pretty much
covered most of it and Debbie was smiling at me and said, "I never thought we
would be having this conversation. Lets show them what they're missing."

Debbie and I undressed and sat on the bed together and Lee-Ann said, "Cool,
an orgy." Caryn was smiling as they undressed also. We showed them how we
like to do everything, starting with kissing and caressing and working our
way to licking each other to orgasm in a 69 position. Then I said, "Have you
found your spot? Some people call it the G-spot?" Caryn said, "I guess not
since we don't know what it is." Debbie demonstrated on me and I had one
screaming orgasm after the other for about 5 minutes. Then she showed them
how thick my cum was from it and I was so fucking hot. Debbie licked up some
of it and then let Caryn and Lee-Ann taste it. I wanted to fuck all of them
right them. Lee-Ann put her head down into my pussy and licked me for about 2
minutes and I orgasmed again. She sucked it all out and them crawled on top
of me and gave we the sexiest wet French kiss. I couldn't believe I was
having sex with my daughter and I just let it happen. I rolled her over and
said, "Caryn, watch me find Lee-Ann's spot, and then I'll show you how to
find it on her."

I pushed my hand into Lee-Ann's pussy and she moaned, "Mom, that feels so
good." Debbie was getting so hot as she kissed my ear and was breathing
heavy. I found Lee-Ann's spot and sent her into one convulsive orgasm after
the other. She was moaning so loud when I stopped. I licked her for about a
minute like she did to me and then I showed Caryn how to do it. Caryn was
making Lee-Ann nuts and Debbie gave me the sexiest kiss. I said to Caryn,
"That's enough for now. The lesson isn't nearly over yet." Caryn licked Lee-
Ann's pussy and she was moaning again.

Then we had Debbie show Lee-Ann how to get Caryn off the same way. I was on
fire watching this. I was rubbing and pinching Debbie's nipples and driving
her nuts too.

I said, "Now it's time for the toys." I opened the nightstand drawer and took
out our new version of Gizmo, Spike, and a few others. Debbie said, "Let's
show them Gizmo first." Debbie had to explain how we named them and Lee-Ann
was cracking up. We got them in position and put Gizmo in the pussies as I
said, "Push together until your pussy's touch and fuck each other into
paradise." We used Spike next to them and the four of us really got off for
about a half hour. Debbie stopped them and said, "Now use this one. It's
Gizmo's older brother Spike. It hits your spot."

They were screaming in orgasms as we got into a 69 position with me lying on
top of Debbie and we ate each other into total happiness. Our last lesson was
all of the other toys and masturbating for each other. I said, "Lee-Ann,
Debbie and I get off so much when we do this. If you really are a mini-me of
us, you have to try it." We showed them the dildo, double dildos, vibrators,
egg shaped vibrators, and lastly the butt plugs to use with Gizmo and Spike.
They went wild with that one, just like we do. The masturbation was just like
us also. Debbie and I were watching them and getting hot, and laughing at the
same time.

I said, "Lesson's over." Lee-Ann looked at me in total lust and said, "No
it's not." She put Spike in me and we fucked on it as Caryn and Debbie used
Gizmo. Lee-Ann and I kissed and it was the best mother daughter bonding there
could possible ever be. We got as close as any two people can get and
orgasmed together for over a half hour. Debbie and Caryn were the same way.

When we finally stopped, we all lit cigarettes and Debbie cuddle with me and
said, "I guess the students taught the teachers on that one." Lee-Ann and
Caryn were cuddling too and were laughing about it. I said, "Not a word to
anyone. We could go to jail for this. The fact that we are, who we are, will
make it even worse. I really mean it. Don't tell anyone." They swore they
wouldn't and then crawled over and kissed us each again. Debbie was cracking
up.

I took a drag of my cigarette and said, "Debbie and I will order you your own
toys if you want them." Lee-Ann said, "We definitely want them."

We finished our cigarettes and then got cleaned up and dressed. We sat on the
bed and I said, "You two want to perform some of your tunes with our band at
the next gig. We love what you wrote and your singing is as good as it gets."
Lee-Ann said, "Mom, we have been waiting our whole lives for you to ask us
that. We would love doing it. Tess wants to sing with us too. She sounds just
like her mom also." I said, "We're playing in a week at the big NASCAR event
locally. You want us to get a few hundred tickets for the kids at the high
school also to come see your big debut?" They were bouncing on the bed like
when they were little and Debbie and I were laughing our ass off.

We got on the Internet and I ordered Lee-Ann and Caryn the toys. We also
explored a few other ones and Debbie was ordering stuff for us to try as the
kids were cracking up.

That evening when everyone came home we told the others about what we wanted
to do at the concert and they all loved the idea. I said, "Are any of the
other kids ready besides Tess? Maybe we could build them a band." They all
said the same thing, "Wait."

I called Stella at the record company and told her what we were planning on
doing and she said, "If it sounds good, lets get them in the studio and do a
single or two."

The next day the band spent all day with Lee-Ann, Caryn, and Tess learning
the songs and having them sing the leads as we did everything else. We
learned 6 of the tunes and then just kept on going, as we loved how it
sounded. We ended up calling it quits after dinner with 16 of the tunes down
cold. I called Stella and told her about it and said, "You fell like
listening to them now? We need a strategy for the kids."


CHAPTER 27 - SHADES OF THE COTTONWOOD


Stella came over to the house and we played the entire show of 16 tunes for
her and she said, "This is good enough to have at least 4 hit singles and a
platinum CD." We all sat down and I said, "Lee-Ann and Caryn are 17, almost
18. They graduate from high school in 2 weeks. So does Tess, but she skipped
a grade and is only 16 going on 17. We can record the CD for them, but we
can't support the tour other than once a month like we do sometimes. Stella,
we're getting old and we'd die of we tried to do what we did 20 years ago in
a tour schedule. We could possibly find them a band to back them up, but
that's risky. What do you think we should do?"

She said, "All of your kids are into music. Any of them good enough to build
the band here?" Brandy said, "My son Todd is a fantastic drummer and can
sing, but his head isn't screwed on to tight. He's 18 now." Stella said,
"What 18 year old boy has his head screwed on straight? He may be fine. Who
else do we have?" We went though all of the kids and Stella said, "If you can
pull it off, it means that they will only be able to play on Saturday shows
for a year, and that may be just fine. Look at how much money you made and
how many CDs you've sold. Kate, people still buy your first CD. We sold over
200,000 of them last year. That CD is over 25 years old and you don't tour to
support it at all. The songs are all classics, and I think what Lee-Ann and
Caryn just wrote will be the same way. Lets talk to the other kids and listen
to them play."

Lee-Ann went to round up the tribe as we call them, and they all came into
the studio. Stella said, "Lee-Ann, Caryn, and Tess will be performing with
the band at a gig. They wrote a bunch of songs I want to release on a CD. The
music is excellent, and just like Kate and Debbie's tunes. They can't play
with your parent's band for more than a few shows and will need to form a
band to support the CD and play big events on their own. One of the options
is to form a band with all of you that want to do it, and are good enough to
do it. Anyone interested?" They were all screaming, "Yeah, me, yes,
bitching." Stella said, "Since your parents won't be impartial in this, I'll
be the judge of your ability to be in the act. Lets start a list of who plays
what instruments and sings."

Debbie made the list and Stella said, "They all play this much?" Debbie said,
"I have the primary one first." Stella started with Lee-Ann, Caryn, and Tess
and listened to their playing and they were as good as us. Caryn was just
like Debbie on guitar and Lee-Ann played keyboards just like me. Stella was
laughing about it. She said, "Lou-Ann, your son Roger plays Bass. Lets here
him play. Roger put on bass guitar and was doing all types of crazy runs and
then doing funk and jazz. Caryn played some guitar for him and then did an
old tune of ours and he sang the part Jim use to do. Stella went through
every kid and Todd was the best drummer we have ever heard. He as definitely
a flake though, but very funny and incredibly good looking. Stella said,
"This band will be on the cover of every magazine as all your kids could be
models if they wanted to be. They all look like you did when you were
younger. Brandy, if Todd had long hair, his face would be a duplicate of
yours.

Stella said, "Barb, you sure your son wants to stay in acting, along with
Val's son Chet?" Barb said, "Their dream is to be in a major motion picture,
and they're pretty good. They're also young. Let them have their own dreams
for now."  Stella said, "Mary and Beth, no interest on your kids?" Beth said,
"They are so into computers. They are good musically, but it's not their main
interest."

Stella read off the band member names like a baseball game lineup with
starting positions. We were laughing as the kids were cheering for each name
called. We ended up with Caryn playing guitar, Lee-Ann on keys, Roger on
bass, Todd on drums, Tess on rhythm guitar, Lindsey on pedal steel, and Beth-
Ann on fiddle. Stella said, "Your parents are about the best producers in the
world so they will work out the arrangements and who plays what in each tune.
You will all probably trade off a bunch of times, knowing how they make it
all work. Kate, think you can get them ready to play the show next week, as a
band?" I said, "Not all of the tunes, but maybe a few. We can have them play
directly in front of us since we're the last act of the night anyway." Stella
said, "Who do you need to clear it with?" We were laughing and Debbie said,
"We have to ask ourselves if it's okay. We decided to produce the NASCAR
concerts ourselves using Mary and Beth's company." Stella said, "That makes
this really easy, doesn't it?" We all nodded.

Starting that night, we went through the same routine we did with every band
we built. It was all business and the kids have never seen us like this
before. I think we scared the shit of them for a while and then they
understood what it took to be successful in this business. We called the
school and they had already taken final exams, so we had them excused. The
principle didn't care at all after we gave tickets to the NASCAR concert to
every student and all of the staff sitting in the first fifty rows by the
front of the stage. The kids became instant hometown legends and we were
laughing about it.

They learned all sixteen songs, but only 6 were good enough to be played the
way we want them to sound. Lee-Ann said, "The others are okay." Brandy said,
"Okay gets you nowhere. If you want to be as big a name in this business as
we were and still are, all songs and performances have to be 10s. Those 6
songs are 10s all around. Lets stop it with those. It gives you about a 20 to
25 minute show."

I said, "I also want all of you to come onstage with us for the very last
tune and do that medley we did last time of three of our old tunes that the
audience screams in. Everyone will associate you with us and remember you.
All you have to do is scream with the audience, look sexy, and wave to
people. It's called instant publicity." All the kids were laughing and Lee-
Ann said, "She is right. Mom, you are brilliant."

When Debbie and I went to bed that night she said to me, "You think we are
doing the right thing with the kids?" We were cuddled naked with our breasts
touching and I said, "This is what they want. Lets help them to be as good as
they can be. I think it's time to pass the torch." Debbie kissed with such a
passion and then said, "I love you so much. Lets make this the best night of
their lives." We made love for two hours and then we were lying in bed having
a cigarette and laughing. We gave Lee-Ann and Caryn the internet sex toys
today that arrived by UPS and we could faintly hear them moaning from the
room next door to us. Debbie said, "That has to be the new version of Spike.
That's the only one that makes us sing opera." We were cracking up as we
faintly heard, "Lee-Ann, push on me harder! Oh my God is this good! I'm
cumming again! OOOOOHHHHHHH!" We fell asleep giggling.

The next morning we all had breakfast together and afterwards Debbie and I
pulled Lee-Ann and Caryn aside and Debbie said, "Was it Spike or Gizmo that
made you so nuts last night?" They blushed and Lee-Ann said, "Oh my God, you
heard us? It was Spike." The four of us were laughing.

That afternoon we took two limos to the NASCAR concert event and there were
people there already at the flea market. The other bands had just finished
the sound checks and Kathy said, "They are really going to perform?" I said,
"They are damn good, but only doing 6 tunes just before we go on. Check them
out at the sound check."

We explained to the kids what the engineers are doing and they understood all
of it. It took about 20 minuets to get the levels set and then they played
the tune that we think is the best. Kathy and Danica had their mouths hanging
open and I said, "Lee-Ann and Caryn wrote all of the music." Jazz, Darla and
Tammy came running over to listen and they ran up to the stage and were
cheering for the kids. Two other bands were playing in the show that we built
also and they couldn't believe it was our kids playing. They all
congratulated the kids as they walked off the stage.

We did our sound check and it always takes so long. As we get older, we
really are getting tired of this part of it. We played one of our new tunes
and then got off the stage. Kathy said, "Kate, you still sound so damn good.
It's amazing. We're starting to loose it a little." I said, "We are too. We
can all tell on stage that it's not the same as it was. Some of the high
energy is gone." She said, "You still sound 10 times better than any other
act. Don't stop playing yet. You've got another 10 years before you sound
mortal, like everyone else does."

The kids sat with us in the reserved area for the bands by the side of the
stage and they loved every second of it as we all ate ribs and drank beer. I
said to Lee-Ann, "Coke only! This is public place and I don't want to get
arrested. You can all have a few beers when we get home tonight if you want
to." They all were smiling at me.

The place was really filling up with people as far as you could see and the
high school students were all there and screaming to our kids. We introduced
the emcee to the kids and I explained the addition to the show. He was
smiling and said, "What a great idea. Help me write an intro for them."
Debbie and I sat with him and wrote the introduction.  Lee-Ann was laughing
as she heard it. I said, "This stuff sells CDs and people love to hear it."
The emcee had a great idea and I said, "Lee-Ann, you mind introducing us
after your last song?" She said, "Hell no. Oh course I'll do it. Tell me what
to say." The emcee gave her a script and she was laughing and said, "I'll say
it. How about I adlib a little? I'm pretty good at that." I said, "Whatever
you think will work."  She was talking to the other band members about it and
they wrote out a script.

All of the lights were on as the sun was setting and the place was mobbed
beyond belief. A show worker said, "County Line, you're on in one minute. Get
your asses on the stage." They looked at me and said, "sorry", as they
hurried to the stage and got ready. Debbie said to me, "They are so flaky,
but they sound so good. I love how they do our tunes."

The emcee started the show announcements and then went into the build up for
County Line and the audience cheered loud as the music started. Lee-Ann
yelled to us, "The cheering is so loud!" I yelled back, "Wait until you go on
and we follow. That will be what we call loud." I told Lee-Ann, "If any of
you wonder around, make sure you are back here in 3 hours tops, or you'll
miss your cue to go on. You go on after the 12th song by Georgia Passion."
She told everyone and they all nodded and then they went to see a few friends
as we listened to the music and watched the show.

Every band played good. Kathy was right about The Crooked Road. They were
loosing their edge, but they still sounded good compared to the other acts.
Danica was still one the best lead guitar players on the planet. Georgia
Passion was still as good as ever and the kids were all back by us when they
went on. When Darla and Tammy started the last song, I showed the kids what
to do after the band walked off the stage. They all nodded and I went with
them and so did Debbie to the side of the stage. All of us were so nervous
about our kid's performance but tired not to show it. Lee-Ann hugged me and
said, "Don't worry mom. We're going to knock their socks off." I smiled and
said, "Play good honey and have fun!"

We went to the area where we could see the stage and listened to the
introduction by the emcee. As soon as he mentioned that these were our kids,
the place screamed and cheered so loud it really was deafening. Lee-Ann
smiled at us and nodded her head. They got the cue and Todd started it with
an outrageous drum solo and they all came in with the song we loved. Everyone
was listening and when they did the hook chorus people were standing all over
and cheering. Caryn did an incredible guitar solo and Debbie was smiling and
said to me, "She's better than I am."

When they ended the fist tune, they got a standing ovation by the 150
thousand plus people, as far as we could see. Lee-Ann was so good on stage
with the audience. Debbie said, "Baby, she is you to a tee." We listened to
her talk and she was adlibbing and cracking jokes and they were really funny
about the words to the next tune. Every song was perfect and Stella came
running over to us and said, "They're great! They're really Great! We have to
do the CD as soon as we can. I'm so lucky to have you two." We were laughing
as she was raving some more.

Caryn was doing a bit onstage we wrote for them and the audience was eating
it up as they started the last tune. We walked to the side of the stage
entrance and waited as Todd was giving us fake smiles and Brandy was
laughing.  They ended the song with a long soloed ending, rock style, and we
loved it. The crowd was screaming and they all waved and Lee-Ann stayed on
stage as we walked on in the dim lights. She said into the mic, "We hoped you
liked our act. Remember our name, Shades of the Cottonwood, for when the CD
comes out shortly."  The audience was cheering again and people were standing
as she said, "It's a great privilege to announce the next band, which all of
you already know who it is." The cheers got louder and she smiled at us and
then said, "My mom showed me and Caryn a tape of all of as kids dancing on
stage with them when we were three years old and then again at 7. This time
it's for real at 17. I am so proud of all them and they are the best band in
the world. Please welcome Broken Hearts in Southland!"

We started the number one song we had in the charts now and Lee-Ann waved as
she walked off the stage. I waved to her and mouthed, "You did great!" She
smiled and hugged Caryn. The audience was standing again and cheering for us
and we did our normal show. After the first song ended I said into the mic,
"So what did you think of Shades of the Cottonwood?" The place screamed loud
and I said, "We like them too and they'll be back on stage with us in a
little while for the last song of the night. Now we're going to boogie. Hit
it Val!" She started the tune and I did some honky tonk piano as Debbie
played Texas blues style licks and the place went wild again. We loved this
part to it, no matter how old we get.

We did our skits and everyone loves it when Brandy loosely ties Debbie and me
up and puts a blind fold on us as we're being kidnapped. Then we sing,
"Ransom" where one of the lines in the chorus, "Don't pay no cash for their
red neck ass". Everyone sings it in the audience and each time we almost
start laughing on stage. This time our kids were screaming it out and Debbie
did start to laugh. Stella tells us we created a fad.

We did the show and it was one of the better ones. We did our slow song we
released 8 months ago and this one was a serious tearjerker about loosing a
child. We wrote it after one of the kids in school died last year from
cancer, and we knew the family. We are donating all of the money from the
song to them and everyone knows it. This single CD has sold more than any
other single we ever put out.

We brought the tempo back up and had everyone standing and acting crazy and
then I said, "We have time for one more tune and I'd like Shades of the
Cottonwood to come back onstage. Come on up here and sing with us." The
audience was all standing and screaming again as the kids walked on stage
waving to the audience and each took a hand held cordless mic. Brandy said,
"I know you all know the words to these tunes and we want everyone to sing
along."  She signaled us and we all counted to four in our heads and then
yelled load into the mics, "Love Sucks!" and we started the song. The place
went nuts as always and we did that tune, the beer song, and one of the new
ones called, "Beaver Patch!" which is funny as hell about a bunch of slutty
girls like us. The kids were roaming all over with the cordless mics and
singing with people. We saw Todd in the middle of the high school students
and letting them yell into the mic with him and we were almost laughing again
on stage.

The kids worked their way back to the stage with us just before the ending
and we all sang the ending in Harmony. I said into the mic, "Good night
everyone and be safe. You were a great audience. Remember to look for Shades
Of the Cottonwood in the next few weeks in your local music store." We all
waved to the crowd as the police released the barricade by the stage and the
masses ran forward. We touched people's hands reaching up to the stage and
waved again. Lou-Ann was in her glory and so was Caryn. Debbie said to me,
"They had a good time tonight and played wonderful."

All of us walked off the stage and Lee-Ann was on cloud nine with the other
kids. I said, "Have a seat and relax for few minutes to let the adrenalin
rush leave, and then we'll go sign autographs." We sat and lit cigarettes
behind the stage and I put my arm over Lee-Ann's shoulder and said, "You were
terrific and I couldn't be more proud of you." Debbie was saying the same
thing to Caryn and the both hugged us and were crying. I said, "This is a
happy day, not sad. Wipe those tears." Lee-Ann said, "Mom, thank you so much
for this. It was our dream and we actually did it. I can't believe we did it
and people liked us." I said, "They loved you." Lee-Ann lit a cigarette too,
and wiped her eyes as she was laughing at Caryn who was doing the same thing.

I said, "Todd, you are an excellent drummer. You will be rated as one of the
best." Brandy was smiling as she had her arm on his shoulder and said, "He's
a flake, but a very talented flake." All of the kids were laughing and
nodding their heads.

We did the autograph thing for about a half hour and the kids loved it, as so
many people wanted their autographs. Margi walked up to Caryn and hugged her
and said, "Grandma thinks you are the best band by far!" She winked at Debbie
and me and said, "They are unreal. They are also exactly like the two of you.
They look identical to you and sound like you did when you were 17. They also
write music as good as you two do." Margi pulled me aside from the autograph
hounds and whispered into my ear, "Are they sleeping together too?" I said,
"They are just like us in every way including that one." She was laughing and
shook her head.

Everyone came up to congratulate the kids; Gretchen, Chris, Brenda, Carrie,
the other grandparents, and the other bands. It was wonderful. Jim stopped by
at the end and hugged Todd and said, "You did great and I'm very proud of
you." Todd smiled and said, "Thanks Dad!"

The place was still mobbed with people as we went to the limos and they drove
slow through the crowds to take us home.


CHAPTER 28 - GRADUATION


As soon as we got in the house, the party started. Lee-Ann took out a case of
beer and was tossing a can to everyone as Debbie said, "She is so much like
you this is incredible." I said, "Before everyone gets trashed, the band
practices starts again on Monday at noon. The school will let you all leave
at 11:30 so we can get your CD done. I know you're probably dying to see the
kids in school after the incredible show you put on. It was professional
caliper all the way. You all should be proud of what you accomplished. I am
very proud of each one of you." I raised my beer and said, "Here's to Shades
of the Cottonwood, the next super group that will replace us on the top of
the mountain. We've been there way too long." Debbie and Brandy yelled,
"Here, Here!" We all downed the beers and crushed the cans as the kids were
laughing at us. Debbie handed me another one and said, "Good speech honey. I
agree with you 100 percent. Lets do everything we can to make it happen for
them." Debbie gave me one huge wet kiss and the kids usually just ignored us,
but tonight they clapped for us.

Lee-Ann said, "Mom, no matter what you say, you are still the best on stage
and by far the sexiest performers in the world. When we were walking around
the audience, people were congratulating us, and we heard lots of them
talking about how gorgeous you were on stage and how unbelievably good you
all are. That mountain is pretty damn high." Trisha said, "You'll be there. I
may not happen overnight, but it will happen. One day you'll wake up and
realize it, just like we did. When we merged Broken Hearts and Southland, it
was like magic, and the magic is still there. You have that same magic. We
saw it and felt it when you performed. Part of it is the material and part of
it is something inside of you that you inherited from all of us. Here's to
you raising your kids and giving them the same speech thirty years from now
with us sitting on the couch tending to our arthritis and farting out beer
gas." We all cracked up and then drank again. The kids loved it.

All of us were getting trashed and we started singing our special version of
a few of the songs the kids never heard. These could never be played on the
air. We started with "Beaver Patch" and Lee-Ann was howling and so was Caryn.
Todd said, "Our moms are as sick as we are. No shit." Then we did a special
version of `Ransom' based around the line, "Don't pay no cash for their red
neck ass." We were all laughing at this one as Brandy said, "That one almost
got us throw out of the Hilton three months ago when we sang it in the hotel
bar after a show." Todd said, "I didn't think it was possible, but they're
worse than us. Lee-Ann, you were worried about us?" Lee-Ann and Caryn were
laughing.

At 4 in the morning, everyone was pretty well drunk and they all went to bed.
Debbie and I held each other up as we walked up the stairs to our room as we
were still laughing at each other.

Debbie put her arms around me and gave me a wet kiss and then said slurring
her words, "We need to make love right now. It's real important, because my
pussy is about to explode. I was thinking about us since we got home." We
undressed as we giggled and then flopped on the bed and went wild on each
other. We were using Spike and fucking our brains out when Lee-Ann and Caryn
came into our room. Lee-Ann locked the door and sat on the bed naked, next to
us and said, "Oh mom, can I have a glass of water?" We all cracked up and I
said, "Hop in."

The four of us were seriously drunk and Debbie and I made love to our
daughters. It was the most amazing night Debbie and I have ever had. I made
love to Lee-Ann and we used Spike and then we switched partners. I did it
with Caryn and all of us watched each other. I was as hot as I have even been
seeing Debbie have an orgasm with Lee-Ann, as Caryn and I were getting off
also. We had a four way 69 chain and then paired up again. Debbie and I
almost attacked each other and were in a 69 position with her on top of me
until 7 in the morning. We stooped and all had a cigarette as the sun was up
and we were laughing at each other. I said, "Lee-Ann, you and Caryn are as
sick as we are. We get so turned on watching each other have sex. You two are
the same way. I can tell." Lee-Ann said, "We're have to be half retarded."
Debbie said, "With the money we have we're not retarded. We're eccentric." We
were all laughing and I took a drag of my cigarette. I said, "You two have to
get to your room before anyone finds out about this." Lee-Ann said, "Relax.
We took care of that. We unlocked the connecting door between the two bath
areas on our side. We just have to walk to our room through your bathroom." I
was cracking up and said, "You are definitely my daughter." She gave me a
total wet kiss again and I really liked it. We all got hot again.

We finished our cigarette and they went into their room to sleep through the
bathroom and Debbie was smiling about it. She said to me, "Did you really
expect anything different from our kids?" I said, "Nope." We cuddled, kissed,
and feel sound asleep.

We woke up at noon to the sound of the kids practicing in the studio and
Debbie gave me and good morning kiss and said, "They want this to happen so
much. Lets get up and help them." We did our morning routine and then went
downstairs. We had breakfast waiting from Rheeta, our newest cook. She was
actually good and we liked her. We have a pool going as to how long she'll
last. The kids drive them all crazy and they quit in less than 6 months.

We poured some coffee and went into the studio and watched the practice.
Trisha and the others were in the studio also on the couches and already
helping them with the next tune. We just watched and listened, as it was
sounding much better. Debbie said, "Do we a favor and try something. Raise
that song up one step from G to A." They played it again in A and everyone
had bug eyes. The kids knew that was the answer and it sounded great. Caryn
said, "Thanks mom. Lets go on to the next one."

Rheeta came in about 3 in the afternoon with some drinks and snacks and said,
"They sound wonderful. I loved the show last night." Lou-Ann said, "Thanks
Rheeta." By 7 at night we had all of the tunes arranged and corrected. Now
they just needed to be rehearsed.

Rheeta made everyone sandwiches and we were talking about the arrangements
when Margi and Carrie came over. I said, "Hi stranger. We thought you'd be in
Africa by now." Margi said, "That can wait. We want to hear the final CD when
it's done. We're staying home for a few more weeks. We brought over the
Sunday papers. I didn't know if you got them today and read it. All of you
are all over it. Check the articles out."

We were the headlines and it read, "Super group passes on the tradition in
true Nashville fashion." Lee-Ann's eyes bugged out as Margi read the story
out loud to all of us. I said, "That mountain just got a lot lower."

She read us four other stories about the concert and one read, "I saw Kate
Rodgers and Debbie Austin play when they first started. They were great. No
other word even comes close to describing them. They are still great and
bring a magic to music and bands that no one ever has, until now. Last night
I saw Lee-Ann Rodgers and Caryn Austin do what their mothers did 25 years
ago. It was the same thing, the same incredible performance, voices like silk
and loud, and musical talents way beyond us mere mortals. They created that
same magic in their band Shades of the Cottonwood. I couldn't take my eyes
off of Lee-Ann and Caryn, as they are the spitting image of the mothers when
they were 17, in every way. I for one can't wait until their first CD is
available. My guess is that it will be platinum in the first few weeks, just
likes mom's always are. Kate and Debbie, if you are reading this, I just want
to tell both of you, you did a great job of being parents. Every parent wants
their children to be better than they are. My bet's on Lee-Ann and Caryn to
beat all of your records that before last night everyone thought were
unreachable."

We all were in shock as she read another one to us. I said, "The hard part
has already been done for us. We just need to make the CD. Kids, you are
going to make it big time." They were all cheering and hugging, doing high
fives and low fives, and bumping asses. We were cracking up watching. Margi
said, "You really are as good as these articles say you are. Kids, I signed
your parents to their first record deal. You are just as good as they were
and so is the material. All of your tunes will become future classics and
make you money forever. We call Kate and Debbie's tunes cash machines,
because that's what they are. Yours will be too."

The next day the kids went to school as normal and they all came home at noon
smiling from ear to ear. I said, "So how did it go?" Lee-Ann said, "We sign
autographs all day and not just for the students. I signed them for all of
the teachers and the board of ed." We were laughing and I said, "How did you
like it? That's what life will always be like as a star." Caryn said, "It was
so cool." Debbie started to laugh, as that's exactly word for word what she
said to me years ago.

They practiced all day and then they did it again every day this week and the
weekend. Lee-Ann, Caryn, and Tess's graduation was on Monday from High School
and all of us went to the ceremony. We were mobbed and it was almost funny.
Caryn was at the platform early because it's alphabetical and the cheers for
her were like the concert. We all were giggling. Tess was the same and Lee-
Ann was the last one to get a diploma and the place went nuts for her. The
valedictorian talked about Shades of the Cottonwood and Debbie and I were
covering our faces to hide our smiles.

At the end of the ceremony Lee-Ann went to the podium and said, "We're all
made it, believe it or not. I know all of us have different plans for our
future. You all know mine, Caryn's, and Tess's." There were tons of cheers
and Lee-Ann said, "Come help us celebrate our plans along with yours in one
last party of our graduating class. It's at our place and the police will be
there to take your car keys in case you want to drink. We have tons of beer
on tap. All of you that have your parent's permission will be able to drink
and spent the night at our place. No one will be allowed to leave that is
even slightly drunk. Come have fun, swim, tell us your plans, and we'll show
you ours." She threw her cap into the audience and then everyone threw their
caps and we were laughing. I said, "I told her a party, not football game."
Debbie was cracking up and said, "I guess we're the chaperones."

We took them home and the police were already there and joking with us. I
said, "Tell us what we need to do to keep if from turning into a hockey
game." The captain said, "Nothing. We'll take care of it. You enjoy yourself
and your kids. Kate, you and Debbie have more than earned it with everything
you have done for this town." I said, "Thanks Harry." We looked into the
studio and all the equipment was gone. Debbie said, "I'll bet its out back."
We went out back and sure enough, the road techs were setting it up on a
stage like we had at the concert. We were laughing and I said, "They are too
much."

Lee-Ann put her arm over my shoulder said, "Thanks for letting us have the
party mom. We promised that we would play and it will give us a chance to run
through all of the material. Practice at the party. You want to do a song for
everyone? The kids all worship you." I said, "Ask us after your done. Maybe
the Beal Street band will make a guest appearance." Lee-Ann had no idea what
we were talking about and Debbie said, "Lets do it. Everyone will be here."

The party was a riot. 750 kids and plus the parents. Lee-Ann and Caryn put on
one hell of a show and it was as good as it gets. Then they asked us to play
from on the stage and we walked up as the Beal Street Band with Linda,
Danica, and Dane. I said, into the mic, "We decided to do something different
for all of you. Since you are too young to remember this, we were the Beal
Street Band, that we formed as a joke one night to play the Blues festival at
the CMAs." The parent's were all clapping and cheering and I said, "Some of
you remember us. We recorded a record and it was the biggest hit ever,
strictly by accident. I hope you like Texas Blues and Rock. Hit I Linda."

We played the material like we just played it yesterday and had a blast.
Everyone was amazed at us as we never show off on stage anymore. Debbie and
Danica played guitar better than ever and we were all laughing about it on
stage. The kids and parents were going nuts. I said into the mic, "This is
the hit song we did. Sing along if you know it." We did the blues version of
the beer song and the parent's were so into it.  We got off the stage and
talked to everyone and Lee-Ann came up to me and said, "All of you still have
the chops. My God mom, that was outrageous. No one can play keyboard like you
or blues harp, or guitar like Debbie or Danica. I had no idea Linda could
play drums like that." I said, "We always kept this a secret for the most
part. We regretted doing it as it distracted us from the real act. We love
jamming like that though once in a while. Hand me a mug of beer honey."

I lit a cigarette and so did Debbie. We clicked our beer mugs together and
took a drink as everyone was busting our chops about the Beal Street Band.
Brandy said, "You are all so good, its almost funny." The kids were with us
and we were talking to a few of the parents that attended the party. One guy
said, "I saw you do that show at the CMA blues festival. We laughed so hard
when you took off the disguises. No one could figure out who the musicians
were as you were so unbelievably good. I was in the band that played last
that did all ZZ top style stuff." I said, "I remember you. You guys were
really good. What happened to the band?" He said, "Kids happened and we
couldn't tour any more, so we packed it in." I said, "Any of your kids play
too?" He said, "Yeah, but we hate the material they do. It's this screaming
kill you mother stuff with real distorted guitars. I hate to even hear them
practice, but they got a record deal out of LA. I guess there's no accounting
for taste on the west coast." All of us were laughing and Lee-Ann said, "Mom,
what disguises did you wear?" Everyone was telling them the story and Lee-Ann
and Caryn were howling. I said, "We still have the costumes. We saved them
just for kicks."

We made the rounds talking to a ton of the parents and they all wished our
kids luck. A group of the high school students we all begging us to adopt
them. I said, "Your parent's won't like that too much." A woman yelled out,
"Kate, they're yours if you want them. We already did our 18 years of
service."

We decided to sit and have our own party, and that just what we did. People
started joining us as Brandy was telling jokes and stories again that were a
piss. She said, "Lets resurrect the TV show `Be Discovered' that was the best
time I ever had when we filmed those shows." Trisha said, "You found us 20
years ago, or should I say we found you." We were all laughing about it and
getting trashed. At 2 in the morning I said, "Anyone that doesn't want to
hear nasty words in songs, go inside or cover your ears." Debbie played a
folk guitar and we did the perverted version of about 8 tunes including the
masturbating tune. Everyone was laughing with us and then we were making
toasts all night to all of the graduates. We had the police laughing to the
point two had to run into the bathroom to pee.

Debbie and I, along with the three guys from that old blues band, were the
only ones still awake at 4 in the morning we went in to go to bed. The inside
of the house was almost solid people sleeping on floors and it was comical. I
said, "Tommy, mind sleeping with us?" They were salivating and Debbie said to
me, "Be careful. We have a house full of parents and kids." We were still
half drunk and went to our bedroom. The kids had a huge stop sign on our
double doors and we all laughed about it and stepped over sleeping kids.

Debbie locked the door and I said, "Time to get some Tush" which was one of
their hit song titles. They were all cracking up as Debbie and I undressed
and got into it with each other. The guys were all as hard as rock and I
swear Tommy had to be 12 inches long and 3 inches thick. Debbie and I were
salivating. We laid Dave and Robert on the bed and Debbie climbed on Dave,
and I sat on Robert with his cock up my ass and leaning back on his chest as
I said, "Tommy, the Tush is all yours baby." I was sandwiched with two of the
biggest cocks I've ever seen in my life and I was going wild, bouncing my ass
on Robert's shaft. Debbie was right next to me as our legs were touching. She
leaned towards me and we kissed as we were getting fucked by monster cocks.

These three guys gave us the roller coaster ride of the century. Debbie and I
switched back and forth four times and let the guys cum inside of us. Then we
had Dave and Tommy fuck our pussies as we lay together caressing each other
and sucked off Robert. Robert shot his cum into my mouth as Debbie was
kissing my cheek and said, "Shoot inside our pussies so we can eat it out of
each other. Dave, that feels so good baby."

I spit the cum into Debbie's mouth and the guys couldn't hold off any longer
as they watched us kiss and swallow it.  We heard soft grunting and I felt
Tommy's cock swell even larger inside of me and then a flood of warm cum fill
me up.

We had the guys move to the side of the bed and they were out cold in
seconds. Debbie and I got into a 69 position with me on top, and we sucked
the cum out of each other and went totally wild. We kissed for a long time
and softly caressed each other, cuddled, and fell asleep.

Debbie and I woke up in a few hours and we got out of bed and walked into Lee-
Ann and Caryn's room through the bath area. We locked the doors and they both
woke up and I said, "Go to sleep. Don't ask us any questions now, but we
can't be found in our room in the morning." They both smiled and went back to
sleep and we conked out in their bed with them.

All four of us woke up around 11 and Lee-Ann was laughing and said, "Who is
in your room?" I said, "Tommy, Dave, and Robert. The original Texas Scream
band." Lee-Ann said, "Oh my God. That's Tommy's dad isn't it?" We nodded and
she was laughing. We used their bathroom and then quietly walked into our
room to get dressed and went back out through Lee-Ann's room.

We went downstairs and it was a mad house. All we could do was laugh. Rheeta
was sitting in the kitchen and said, "What should we do for breakfast?" I
called the caterer and said, "Hi. Can you feed a thousand people breakfast?"
"Now." After he finished laughing he said, "We'll send over a crew to cook in
about 10 minutes and as many trays of doughnuts as we can find."

This was a total piss. Even the cops got toasted at the party and slept in
the living room. The cooks showed up and a lot of people left, but about half
stayed to have some coffee and eat. Brandy said, "We thought you were asleep.
Your door was locked." Lee-Ann said, "They slept in our room as there were
people in their bed." I smiled at her and she smiled back as the guys were
coming downstairs. Tommy walked over to me and just smiled as his wife said,
"Where in the hell did you three disappear to last night?" I said, "We gave
them our room as there was no place left to sleep and we stayed with the
kids." Dave was blushing and Lee-Ann said, "We had to hear them snoring all
night." Tommy's wife was cracking up and dragged him home. Dave and Robert
got the same treatment and Lee-Ann was laughing her ass off. I said, "Nice
touch with the snoring."

By dinnertime everyone had left and we had a cleaning crew in the house doing
every room and the back yard. We told the other's what really happened last
night and Brandy said, "He was that big? Damn Kate, you should have woken us
up too." Debbie said, "We thought about it, but we wore them out in two
hours." Lee-Ann and Caryn were rolling on the couch laughing.


CHAPTER 29 - ALASKA AND A FINISHED CD


The next day we started the recording sessions. Chet was really starting to
look old and he introduced us to Tony and said, "He's as good as I am at
this, and he'll be taking over as lead engineer and producer. I'll be here
for the session this month and then it's time for me to go fishing in Florida
all day." I said, "How old are you now?" He said, "I turned 76 last week and
I have been doing this since I was 21. It's time to quit."

Tony was just as good as Chet and we sat in the control room as he ran the
sessions. He had a ton of stuff that we never saw before and I said, "What's
that for?" Chet said, "Digital editing, like that old software you found on
the web. Tony, you won't need it for this band. Trust me."

The kids recorded the music to the first tune, and then did the vocals from
the booths. Everyone came in the control room as Tony did a rough mix and
played it back. He said, "Damn are they good. Lets do a better mix and really
listen to it again." He spent about 20 minutes soloing everything, setting
the automatic faders on the board, and the effects. We all listened to it
again and Lee-Ann said, "That's us? Wow!" Tony said, "This could be my first
Grammy or CMA. You guys are excellent!"

Debbie and I stayed in the studio that morning as they recorded three tunes
and then we left to go do some shopping.

The kids finished recording the material in three days and then they were off
getting pictures taken and doing a video shoot. We went to the final
mastering session with Chet and Tony and the finished CD was terrific. Tony
re-mastered the single they recorded too. They also mastered three new
singles. Tony said, "This is the first band that I've worked with that didn't
make a single mistake while recording. It's perfect." Chet said, "Kate, how
many mistakes have you made while recording all of your CDs?" Debbie and I
were thinking and she said, "I can't remember any." I said, "Nope, there was
one. Remember when I had the hiccups and screwed up singing?" Debbie smiled
and said, "What a piss that day was." Chet said to Tony, "The secret to most
of my Grammy's is sitting next to you."

When the kids stopped in with Stella to hear the final CD they all had their
mouths hanging open. I said, "Crappy recording, isn't it?" Everyone cracked
up and I said, "Shades of the Cottonwood is going to sell like wildfire."
Stella showed us the proofs of the cover and inside jacket and I said, "Good
photos. Where'd you shoot these?" Lee-Ann said, "At the big cottonwood tree
in our backyard by the stables. That's how we came up with band name. We all
loved to sit in the shade there." Stella said, "Even the cover is sexy and
screams country. We'll probably get this into the stores by the end of the
next week. We'll be starting an advertising campaign mid-week also. Enjoy
your vacation, and get ready to play when you get back next week."

We went home and all of us were packing for different trips. Debbie and I
were taking Lee-Ann and Caryn to Alaska with us for a week as they really
wanted to go there and June was the only time to do it and not freeze to
death. All the kids were going some place they wanted to visit and we thought
it was terrific. Brandy and Barb were taking their two kids to get a screen
test in Hollywood for a bunch of TV commercials and watch a major film being
shot. This was their dream.

Debbie and I bought an exact duplicate of all of our gear for the kids and we
also got a bigger tent that sleeps four. We made arrangements to rent a
Hummer H1 for our trip once we landed. The kids were so excited about it as
they went though all of the gear and repacked it.

We left that evening and slept on the red eye to San Francisco. We changed
planes and slept again to Anchorage. When we got out of the airport and
rented the Hummer. Lee-Ann said, "It's a city just like home. What's so
special about it." Debbie said, "Give it two hours and you'll find out." We
all lit cigarettes as Debbie drove first and we headed north. The temperature
was dropping fast as we headed through the mountains and we stopped at one
place to watch parts of an ice glacier break off into a lake. They knew what
it was about now.

It took four hours to get to the first stop on our trip, which was just
outside of a very old style small town. We set up camp at a site by a lake,
and it was breath taking. Lee-Ann and Caryn were just starring at everything,
taking it in and I said, "Lets take a walk and then we'll fish for some
dinner." They were holding hands, just like Debbie and I were as we walked
around part of the lake. Lee-Ann took off her boots and socks, rolled up her
jeans and steeped into the shallow water at the edge of the lake. We cracked
up as she screamed from the cold. I said, "It rarely gets over 34 degrees."
She was shivering as she dried off her toes and put her socks and shoes back
on.

We fished for a while and all of us caught a few fish. Caryn landed a large
salmon and I said, "Dinner time." We built a fire with wood we gathered
before and all cooked the fish dinner. We ate it and it tasted terrific.
Caryn said, "It doesn't taste like this at home?" Debbie said, "No
preservatives." I explained that we had to keep the fire going at night, so
we gathered up extra wood and buried the left over food to avoid attracting
bears.

Debbie and I had a very romantic night sitting by the fire and so did Lee-Ann
and Caryn. Debbie said to me, "Kate, if you do it all over again, would you
change anything in our lives?" I gave her a big kiss and then said, "I love
you, we have two wonderful daughters, and we hit the brass ring. I wouldn't
change a thing. How about you?" She smiled and said, "I would have kept the
Beal Street Band alive for a little longer. That was so much fun the other
night." Lee-Ann heard us and said, "You two were great! What's all of the
noise?" Debbie said, "Coyotes, wolves, and the local wildlife. That's another
reason for the fire."

We all lit a cigarette and the kids were asking us about things that happened
when we first toured. We had them in stitches with some of the stories. We
told them the story about American Idol and how we found Darla and Jazz, and
they were cracking up. Caryn took a drag of her cigarette and blew out the
smoke saying, "No wonder that show didn't last." I said, "I lasted 12 years,
which is a long time on TV. People are such idiots. Anyone want any
marshmallows melted on the fire?" We built up the fire really high and
toasted some marshmallows. We wiped our hands and then Debbie said, "Lets hit
the crib."

We went into the tent and it was cramped and we all were cracking up. I said,
"You have to stand on the side over there, undress, and then slide into the
sleeping bag with us. It really does fit four." They got in first and then
Debbie and I got in and I zipped us up.

Debbie and I cuddled and kissed, and then made love softly next to Lee-Ann
and Caryn who were doing the same thing. I had to unzip us as Lee-Ann wanted
their Spike and so did we. We all giggled and then went back to making love.
Debbie and I were falling asleep as we kissed and the kids rolled over on top
of us and we cracked up. They kissed the both of us for about 10 minutes and
then squirmed back over to their side and we all fell asleep.

In the morning, Debbie woke me up and we were kissing again cuddling to stay
warm. The kids woke up and Lee-Ann said, "I have to go to the bathroom."
Debbie and were smiling at each other and she said, "I hope you can hold it
for about 5 minutes. When we get up it's going to be really cold. Get dressed
and then check for bears before you go to the pit we dug. The toilet paper is
in the tent in the corner." Lee-Ann said, "Maybe I can wait a little longer."
Debbie was cracking up and said, "We'll go with you." I unzipped us and we
got out of the sleeping bag and shivered as we put on cloths and the kids did
the same thing. Debbie opened the tent door and we all looked around. I said,
"Check that out." We saw a few bears about a thousand feet away catching fish
in the lake. We walked with Lee-Ann to the pit and she said, "This is so
gross." We all went one after the other and then Debbie took out some of the
food we bought in the small town, as the three of us made a fire again.

The bears were done fishing and moved on, as we finished our breakfast. We
went to the lake and got cleaned up and Debbie and I walked into the water to
wash and then got out. I said, "It's really cold, so don't stay in more than
a few minutes. You'll warm up in a few minutes once you get dry again." The
kids did it and looked like popsicles as we laughed.

We spent the day hiking and taking pictures of everything. We all scaled a
rock wall using the safety gear Debbie and I bought, and the kids loved the
experience. We sat at the top and looked down and Lee-Ann said, "My God is
this high. Let's walk down the path." We took the easy way down.

That night we all had total orgasmic sex. Lee-Ann licked my pussy for over an
hour as Debbie and Caryn watched us and they were getting in on also. The
tent had to be 90 degrees from our body heat.

The next morning after we ate, we packed up the campsite, cleaned everything
up, and then headed two hours south west to the next place we wanted to stop.
The views were breathtaking and Lee-Ann took pictures of everything as we
drove. We stopped by an isolated inlet off the Alaskan sea, and set up camp
again.

We loved this place as we caught three huge Alaskan King Crabs and had a
total feast that night. We also made friends with four seals and they were
begging for food. I said, "Don't feed them unless you want a hundred of their
buddies here also. We made that mistake last time and had to hide in the car
for two hours."

That night in the tent, Lee-Ann said to us, "Mom, we want to watch you and
Debbie make love while we masturbate." This was so fucking hot. Lee-Ann got
herself off 8 times watching me and Debbie, and then we did it for them also
as we kissed each other.

The next morning we all washed in the ocean and this was much warmer than the
lake. Lee-Ann said, "Florida. This has to be at least 40." We spend another
day at the coast and we all loved it. Especially the hike we took on the rock
jetties by the ocean with twelve foot waves crashing on the shore.

The next day we packed and cleaned up, and then headed east in the mountains
again for our last leg of the trip. After we set up camp, Lee-Ann took the
folk guitar out of Hummer than we brought with us and her and Caryn wrote two
songs. The first was called "Unspoiled Beauty" about the Alaska, and the
other was, "Before there was you" which was a really moving romantic ballad.
Debbie and I loved both of them. That night they sang the songs in the tent
and we all were cracking up as the coyotes were howling in tune to it.

Debbie and I ate their pussies for about an hour as a reward for being good
songwriters. They loved it.

The next day we were hiking in the mountains and taking pictures. On our way
back and we met a group of 12 guys that were fishing in a large stream about
a half mile from our campsite.  We were tied from walking so we took off our
backpacks and sat down by the stream as we lit cigarettes. I took a drag from
my cigarette and said, "Hey y'all. I'm Clara, and this is Mary-Lou, Janet,
and Chrissie. What's ya'll doing here in these here woods?" I thought Debbie
and the kids were going to shit and one guy said, "We're on vacation from LA.
Want to join us for some fresh catch dinner at our cabin?" I said, "Sure
`nough." Debbie was rolling her eyes and Lee-Ann just smiled and so did
Caryn.

I introduced all of us again so they knew what their names were, and we met
the guys. I said, "We're up here from Georgia and are thinking about staying.
Its so much nicer than  that double wide we rent at home." I stepped on
Debbie's toes to keep her from laughing and I could see Lee-Ann biting her
lips. I whispered to them, "Just play along. This could be fun."

We went to their log cabin in the woods and they cooked us up a great dinner
as we had a few beers. Two of the guys said to me, "You look so familiar." I
said, "Yeah, everyone tells me that I look that there what's her name famous
model on the Tide commercial. I would luvvv to have her money." Lee-Ann was
biting her lips hard and Debbie smiled at me and was starting to laugh. I
steeped on her toes again.

After about 5 beers each, I got really obnoxious and so did Lee-Ann, but we
never told them who we really were. The guys were hitting on us and Lee-Ann
whispered to all of us, "Lets do it. This is so nuts." Debbie gave me a big
wet kiss in front of the guys as we were undressing each other and then said,
"You want some of my sister too"? I almost started to laugh at that one and
the four of us got fucked very which way possible for about five hours. I
sucked 6 cocks and shared the cum with Debbie, Lee-Ann, and Caryn. We were
all so hot. The guys were half out of it and the four of us got it on in
front of them as we watched two of the guys doing each other. Lee-Ann said to
me, "My God is that hot."

At two in the morning, "We each had two guys fucking us at the same time
again, and we were on sexual overload." They petered out after they shot
their cum inside of us and the four of us feel sound asleep on a large bear
skin rug on the floor in front of a burning fireplace.

The sun woke us up and the four of us were getting dressed as we heard one of
the guys say loud, "This isn't good. Hey Charley! Wake up! Wake up!" He was
shaking him and them another was taking his pulse. They were all waking up
and one guy ran over and said, "God damn. His heart gave out."

Debbie and I looked at each other and I said, "We can not be here when you
call the police about this. Our careers would be toast." One of the guys that
thought they recognized me said, "Son of a bitch. You're Kate Rodgers aren't
you?" I said, "Yup and this was our fantasy vacation. If this gets in the
press, we are history." Todd said, "He had a very bad heart, and he knew it,
but refused to do anything about it. Such a shame for a guy that just turned
30. But he did die with a big smile on his face." They were all laughing
about it and one of them said, "We did this trip for him. He always wanted to
go to Alaska. Don't worry about anything. We won't tell anyone you were here.
That was some fantasy you had with us last night." He handed me their
business cards and they were all lawyers and we were laughing.

I said, "I'll send you a package of VIP tickets to the next concerts we do on
the west coast. It was definitely fun last night. Sorry I put you on like
that." Todd said, "Hell, we loved it. You played the poor slut perfect. I was
never so hard in my life."

We finished dressing and left the cabin as we were didn't stop laughing the
entire walk back to our campsite. We sat down and laughed again as we lit
cigarettes and Lee-Ann said, "Mom, you are so totally nuts. What a riot that
was."

Lou-Ann and Caryn spent the day fishing as Debbie and I wrote a song called,
"My last fling." It was funny as hell and Lee-Ann said, "Hit record again. I
love it." That night in the tent, Debbie and I made passionate love for hours
and so did Lee-Ann and Caryn. We all got off so much from last night.

The next day we packed up, cleaned up our mess at the site, and then took
then headed back to the airport to catch our flight to San Francisco. The
time zone thing really screws us up coming back from the west coast. We got
home at 5 AM and decided to just stay up as none of us were tired, having
slept on the flights. I made us all breakfast and we sat in the kitchen
laughing about the trip. I said, "We can't tell anyone about some of this
stuff." Lee-Ann said, "No one will care in this house." Debbie said, "She's
right." I said, "Be careful about it. They are still 17."

Brandy came downstairs around 6 in the morning with Barb and I said, "What
are you doing up so early?" She said, "We couldn't sleep because of the time
zone thing. I expected you two to be in bed. How did you survive not having
sex for a week being in that small tent with the kids?" I looked at the kids
and Debbie, as Debbie said, "We did it in the Hummer we rented." Lee-Ann
nodded at me and I smiled as I made Brandy and Barb some breakfast too.
Debbie turned on the local radio station and we heard "That was Shades of the
Cottonwood's number one single. Remember, you heard it here first. Now for
the weather." Lee-Ann said, "Did he say number one?" I nodded and Caryn and
her were flipping out. I said. "Get online and print out the billboard
charts."

They ran into to the study and came back in 5 minutes with the chart. I said,
"This is excellent. Our last two tunes started to fade out and you took the
number one and three spots." They were so excited they ran upstairs to wake
up the other kids.

Debbie and I lit cigarettes as we had some coffee and talked to Barb and
Brandy. Barb said, "Jerry is getting much worse. He's such an idiot for not
getting treatment sooner. Kate, he looks like he's 80 years old now and
there's nothing the doctors can do for him. Once undetected Lime's disease
gets this advanced it kills you. He's having trouble walking now too." I
said, "How long does he have?" She said, "Maybe up to a year. They don't know
for sure. I hired a full time live in nurse for him. He can't come out of the
house on his own. We stopped over to see him before we left on the trip and
it was so depressing." Debbie said, "How did the kids make out?" Brandy was
smiling and said, "Great. They both got the parts and they filmed the
commercials while we were there. Your actor buddies really helped us out with
them. They are both producing shows now."

All of the kids were in the kitchen and so hyper about the CDs. We were
laughing and I said, "As soon as Mary and Beth get up we'll work out the
details on the concerts."

By 8, everyone was up and Rheeta was cooking up a storm of food. They all
wanted to know about our trip and Lee-Ann said, "The most beautiful place in
the world and I spent the best time of my life with my mom." I smiled and she
said, "I wrote two tunes. Check this out. The first is called Unspoiled
Beauty and the next one is Before There Was You." She played the songs as
Caryn sang with her and these were damn good. Everyone was telling her that
they beat us and Lee-Ann said, "Listen to the one they wrote. Its definitely
a number one hit again." Debbie was thinking fast and said, "This is a make
believe one, kind of a fantasy song called One Last Fling." Debbie played the
guitar and we sang it. It was a riot in one part and everyone was singing the
chorus with us on the second time through. Trisha said, "We're learning it.
That's a number one hit and you know it."

Barb got up and left the room and Brandy said, "Ignore her. She's having
problems with Jerry again and that song hit a little too close to home." We
didn't even think of it when we played it and I ran out to talk to her. She
was crying and I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry honey. This had nothing to
do with Jerry. It was about someone we met." She said, "Who?" I said, "His
name was Charley and his friends took him fishing in Alaska as his last
fling." She hugged me again and we went back into the room.

Mary and Beth gave us the concert schedule that they already worked out, and
the kids were like lunatics. We really did love how excited they were.

Trisha cornered me and Debbie later that day and said, "Kate, you and I both
know that you are totally full of shit about your trip with the kids. I want
to hear all of the details and I swear I won't tell anyone. The three of us
took a walk by the pool and we sat and had a cigarette and we told her
everything. Trisha was getting so hot she was giving us wet kisses the whole
time. Then she said us, "I have a confession to make too. Tess and I slept
together. I was so afraid to tell anyone. Kate, I really liked it and so did
she. I know the three of our kids we'll be talking about it." She told us the
details and Debbie and I were getting so fucking hot we were kissing her face
and blowing into her ears.

Debbie and I went to see Jerry and he was a mess. His mind was going too and
he had trouble remembering us. The nurse told us that it's part of the
disease and we cried on each other's shoulder. When we saw Barb we were
hysterical again and so was she. Barb did the hardest thing I think she ever
did in her life that day. She bought the cemetery plot for Jerry. We were all
basket cases. That night Debbie and I wrote the most emotional song we ever
have. We called it, "Those you leave behind." It took us a week before we
could sing it all the way through without getting emotional before the song
ended.

We learned both new tunes to play on stage at the next concert and we also
recorded them. Stella released then both as singles after she cried for five
minutes listening to the final master.


CHAPTER 30 - THE FAMILY SECRET


Mary had the kids' play two local concerts last week with another new band to
get their stage show perfected, and they were definitely ready now for the
big time. We sat front and center at the shows watching Lee-Ann and Caryn act
just like we did years ago on stage. It was spooky.

The first full concert with us is in LA and Debbie sent a package of VIP
tickets to our friends from Alaska. I wrote a hand written note that said,
"For all of you and your significant others. We had fun in Alaska. Yours
truly, Clara from her rented double wide." Debbie was cracking up as we sent
it overnight.

We were packing to go to the airport and Lee-Ann came into our room and shut
the door. She said, "Tess told me that her and Trisha had sex and I told her
never to tell anyone else about it. I kind of slipped and told her about us
too. I'm real sorry mom." I hugged her and said, "Don't worry about it honey.
We knew about Tess and Trisha. Trisha told us when we got back from the
vacation. She knows about us too. Now it has to stay between the six of us."

We flew to LA and got to the hotel late Friday afternoon and checked in. All
of the kids were excited about this gig as it was being televised. Lee-Ann
and Caryn were in our room reading billboard and our new slow song and the
other single took over positions 1 and 2 in the charts yesterday. Lee-Ann
said, "That's so unfair." I said, "Stella will release another one of your
singles in 4 weeks and ours will slip out and yours will be number one.
That's the game. What counts is how many CD albums we sell, and we are both
way ahead of the game in that end. Yours just went platinum. Check out the
next page." She saw the ranking of CDs and said, "Oh yeah. Wow."

We all met for an early quick dinner, as everyone wanted to do something
different Friday night. Trisha and Tess went with the four of us to an
exhibit the kids wanted to see at the museum about Alaska. It was actually
pretty interesting and they we so into it. Trisha said, "Is it really like
that with Bears eating fish out of the lakes?" Debbie said, "I have the
pictures in my pocket book that we were looking at on the plane. Check these
out." Trisha was looking through them and Debbie said, "Those are our friends
the seals. The next one is of the bears fishing." They looked through the
photos and Trisha said, "Next time, we're going with you. This is
unbelievable. I love the ice glacier breaking up and splashing in the water."

We stayed in the Museum for a while and then went to get some desert and then
back to the hotel. Trisha and Tess came into our room with our kids and we
watched the first run movies on the cable TV, sitting on bed. We ordered
popcorn, beer and soda, and had a night at the movies watching a funny
comedy. When the movie was over, Lee-Ann was channel surfing though the
movies and said, "Hey, check this out. Beautiful Blond bi hookers take over
New York. Let's watch this." She pressed select before I could stop her and
she said, "Chill out Clara. We can afford it. We're not paying rent on the
double wide any more."

Debbie, Caryn, and I were laughing our ass off and I had tears running down
my face. Trisha said, "I don't get it." I said, "We didn't really tell you
everything about Alaska. You both have to swear you will never breath a word
of this." They agreed so I told them about our adventure in the cabin with
the 12 guys. They were hysterically laughing and they I got to the point of
Charley dying and Trisha almost wet her pants. She screamed, "Now I
understand that song! Oh, what a piss!" Lee-Ann said, "Quite. This is the
good part. She's about to take it up the ass. Tess, you ever do that? I love
it that way. So does my mom." We were laughing even harder now. Trisha said,
"We have to start traveling with you guys. What a total piss."

I said, "It gets better. They are going to be at the show tomorrow. They own
a Law Firm here in LA and we sent then tickets." Trisha was smiling and said,
"A repeat performance?" Lee-Ann said, "I hope so. That was so hot. Ooo, look
at him shot his cum into her mouth. Mmmmmm, I bet that tastes so good. I'm
getting hot. Caryn, yeah, that's it. Touch my tities."

Within 10 minutes, the six of us were naked on the bed and going at it.
Trisha and Tess were in a 69 position and Debbie and I got so hot watching
it. Then Debbie and I did it with Lee-Ann and Caryn. When I watched Lee-Ann
find Trisha's G-spot and then lick her cum up, I was dripping slime on the
bed from my pussy. Tess was a bigger slut that any of us and we couldn't
believe it. She was begging to eat us out as she fucked her own pussy with
one of our vibrators. Caryn moved over to Tess and used the vibrator on her
as Lee-Ann licked Tess's ass.

That night, Trisha, Debbie, and I slept in one bed and the kids slept in the
other one. We made love until 2 in the morning before we all stopped. We lit
cigarettes and were talking about it and everyone promised to keep their
mouths shut. I whispered to Trisha, "What about Daisy and Lou-Ann? Do they
know?" She said, "No and lets keep it that way." The there of us cuddled
together with me in the middle as we zoned out.

We all got up at 9 and I said, "Lets get cleaned up and changed and then go
down to get breakfast." They put on their cloths from yesterday and went to
their own rooms to shower and get dressed.

We saw our army sitting in the restaurant and joined them, as Trisha was
right behind us. The kids came down in a few minutes and I said, "We have to
be at the arena at noon so lets order now. This is an early concert that airs
live in eastern standard prime time."

We ate and then took the limos to the arena. The engineers were rushing all
of us and I said, "We've done this hundreds of times before and we have
plenty of time before the show. Slow down and do it right. We want it to
sound good." Lee-Ann said, "You tell them boss." Todd was laughing as he sat
at the drums and they did it the right way. We finished our sound check 20
minutes before show time and then we all went backstage to relax as we talked
to the emcee. I said to Lee-Ann, "You nervous?" She said, "No way. This is
easy compared to the first gig at NASCAR. We were scared shitless for that
one." I said, "Just ignore the TV cameras and do your normal show."

We got the 5 minute warning and the emcee went out front and we went to the
stage entrance with the kids. They went onto the dimly lit stage and got
ready as we watched. The lights went dim in the audience as a spotlight was
on the emcee and orchestra music played a kettle drum roll. He said, "Welcome
to the first event of the new Budweiser sponsored concert tour. Opening up
our show this evening is a new act that really needs no introduction.
Everyone knows who they are as their pictures have been on the cover of
almost every magazine and newspaper in the past three weeks. They are the
children that will take over the country music scene from their parents.
Please welcome to our stage here in LA, Shades of the Cottonwood!" They got
the full treatment with the light show and fireworks as they rocked the
opening number.

Lee-Ann, Caryn, and Tess were amazing with the audience and Roger and Todd
kept the rhythm together like a rock band. Everyone was cheering when Lindsey
did a pedal steel solo and then Beth-Ann played one on the fiddle. They ended
the first tune and Lee-Ann waved to me and smiled as she started talking to
the audience. She did a few new things from the last show and it was really
polished. We stood and watched the entire show as the kids were hamming it up
for the TV cameras also. They did the top hits mixed in with the others and
the crowd loved them. At the end of their show they got a standing ovation
that was deafening.

The commercial sign flashed as the lights dimmed. We went on stage and I
hugged Lee-Ann as I said, "You did great!" She smiled and walked off the
stage and they were now watching us from where we were standing before.

We listened to the introduction of us, which was so long winded. We got the
cue and we started with our song that was number 2 in the charts, called "One
last fling." Everyone was singing along and we loved it. We had no idea that
the one line, "When you're dead, you're  dead, so who cares" would catch on
like it has. Debbie yelled to me in the middle of the solos, "Another Beer
song!"  We went right into our last hit that was also fast and the place was
all hopping.

Debbie sad into the mic, "We'd like to slow it down a little now. Kate and I
wrote this song about a very dear friend of ours that is dying from a
terminal disease. He means the world to us and it's called, "Those you leave
behind." Debbie started it on a folk guitar and I sang the opening two lines.
Then she came in with me as everyone was quite as can be in the audience. Val
did a soft drum roll and the music came in as we built it up to the chorus.
When we sang the chorus loud and hit the high notes with everyone else doing
harmony, I could see tears on almost every face in the front rows of the
audience; even our lawyer friends. This song was so hard for us to sing
without loosing it, but we made it to the end and held the last notes in an
acapella ending with harmony. The audience all stood and clapped as Debbie
threw her arms around me and we cried. The tears were running down our faces
and the clapping got even louder. We got ourselves together again and I said
into the mic, "Thank you very much. It is very hard for us to sing that
song." The clapping keep going and Brandy said, "Lets bring it back up again!
1,2,3,4."

Debbie jumped right back in with an opening guitar solo that was outrageous
and I played the blues harp. Brandy did some keyboard stuff and then she
walked to the front of the stage and sang this one. We had the place up and
jumping again after the first verse and chorus.

Our show went over great. We had the kids join us on the last number again
and they loved it as we surprised them and changed the medley to include a
verse and chorus from their first hit record. Lee-Ann was smiling from ear to
ear as she sang it. We ended with Love Sucks and the place was screaming it
at us. Trisha and Lou-Ann were laughing about it on stage.

All of us bowed and waved to the audience and TV cameras. The cameras were
doing close ups of Lee-Ann and Caryn, followed by me and Debbie and we were
smiling to the viewers. Then they showed Trisha and Tess and we were laughing
at them hamming it up.

We walked off stage and went to sit down. I lit a cigarette and said, "That
was a good show. You guys played great! I was so proud of all of you. This
show was televised live on a major network, so you just played to about 50
million people. This was a real big gig." They all had their mouths hanging
open and I said, "What did you think the cameras were for?" Lee-Ann said, "It
just didn't register before. Wow! Mom, that slow song you did was so
unbelievable. We all cried." We all sat down in the couches by the dressing
area and our lawyer friends came backstage and I said, "Glad you could make
it. Hey everyone. We met this group while fishing in Alaska. They are
attorney's in LA." I winked and they understood.

The managing partner of the firm said, "I haven't cried in 25 years and I
wept like a baby in that song. Kate and Debbie, that was magic. Who is the
person the song is about? I said, "Jerry Pride." They were all in shock and
one said, "I have ever CD he ever did." I said, "Untreated Lime's disease he
got when he was fishing and it's killing him now at 44 years old. He doesn't
even remember us, or his son anymore. It's horrible." One of the guys said,
"How's his wife, Barb doing? I met her at one of the shows a long time ago."
I said, "Barb and I grew up together and she is a basket case. She lives with
us with her son, and a nurse is taking care of Jerry. All of us here know him
very well, and the only saving grace in all of this is that he doesn't even
realize what's happening to him anymore." Brandy stared to cry again and I
said, "Sorry. We'll stop talking about it."

Todd, the managing partner, walked with me to the far wall and said, "You
didn't tell us those were your kids that we were with in Alaska. How old are
they?" I said, "You don't want to know." He said, "Oh fuck." I smiled and
said, "We're not going to tell a sole about it so don't worry. It was a very
interesting mother daughter camping trip, to say the least."  He was laughing
and said, "It was unbelievable. You are the best actress I've ever met. You
had us so fooled." I said, "It was all adlibbed like most of our stage show.
Our kids are as crazy as we are, maybe even worse." He said, "They are also
the best band I've ever heard aside from you." I said, "Tell them. They'd
like to hear it."

We went back over to the troops and Todd complimented every one of the kids
and they were all smiling. I said, "Autograph time." We started with guys
backstage and we were all laughing about it. When they left Todd said to me,
"Charlie would have liked this part of it. Too bad he missed it." I smiled
and said, "See ya."

We all went out to sign autographs and the kids were in their glory being
mobbed by fans. Lee-Ann said to me, "Mom, I love this part of it." Debbie and
I were really enjoying watching them be successful.  We signed autographs for
about a half hour and then went into the limos and to the hotel.

I said to everyone, "Lets meet here at 10 to go to the airport" and then we
went in the elevators to our rooms. The hotel had us scattered all over the
place this time, and Lee-Ann and Caryn were in the room next door to us. They
came into our room and opened the connecting door to their room and Debbie
and I were laughing. Debbie said, "You staying in here with us?" Caryn said,
"Yeah, unless you don't want us too."

We all undressed and the sex started again. Debbie and I made passionate love
next to Caryn and Lee-Ann and then they attacked us both. I really did get
off on it. Lee-Ann and I made love using Spike for over and hour as we kissed
and Debbie was doing the same thing with her daughter, Caryn. Lee-Ann crawled
on top of me in a 69 position and we ate each other for about 10 minutes
until Debbie said, "Hey, leave some for me too." We all were cracking up as
Debbie and I moved to the other bed and really got it on together until 2 in
the morning. We stopped and lit cigarettes talking softly as the kids were
asleep. I said to her, "That song really upsets Brandy when we play it. Maybe
we shouldn't do it any more in concert." Debbie took a drag of her cigarette
and said, "It upsets all of us. Its real life and the song is a winner. I say
we keep doing it. We'll ask everyone when we get home. Are our two kids
nuttier than we are, or is it my imagination?" I said, "They are definitely
worse than us. You have to love it though. They are identical to us in every
way."

We cuddled and feel sound asleep. Caryn woke us up and said, "You better get
up or will miss the flight." I looked at the alarm clock and we forgot to set
it. I called Brandy and said, "We over slept. If we miss the flight, go
without us and we'll catch a later one. Caryn and Lee-Ann are running late
too and they'll wait for us."

We took our time and missed the flight by a long shot. We did get on another
one an hour later and actually made it home faster. We were waiting in the
airport for them and we sat at the gate laughing as they walked off the
plane. Brandy said, "How?" I said, "The later flight is that new huge airbus
that goes almost twice as fast. We made the trip in 3 hours." Brandy said,
"I'm sorry I got chocked up when you were talking about the song and Jerry.
It just really upsets me." I said, "Us too and that's because it's real life.
That same emotion is what comes across in our playing and singing, and made
that into a hit record." She said, "I know. It's just tuff. I have to listen
to Barb cry every night. She is not handling this well at all." I said, "Lets
get her some professional help. Talking to a shrink can help." Brandy said,
"I already got her an appointment for tomorrow. She didn't take this trip
with us incase something happened to Jerry. As sad as it is, he doesn't even
recognize her either at this point."

  . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


We played two more concerts with the kids in the next month and Jerry was
fading fast. When we got home from the second one we all got the horrible
news and we totally fell apart. Barb was actually relieved that it was over
and asked me and Debbie to sing our song about him at the service. We
couldn't. Every time we started to sing it we feel apart. Lee-Ann said, "Mom,
Caryn and I can sing it. If you don't like it, just tell us no." They played
it for us with Barb there and we all feel apart as they played it to the end
before they cried with us.

We stayed at the wake with Barb all day and the reporters were everywhere and
we hated the fact that we were famous this week. They were in our faces and I
really lost my cool and screamed at a few of them, "This is very personal.
Please just let us grieve for a our very dear friend in private."  The next
day was the service and the church was mobbed.  Lee-Ann and Caryn did the
song and we were crying so hard we couldn't even breath. At the funeral we
all said something as they lowered the casket. Barb said at the end, "Goodbye
Jerry. We'll miss you very much." We all lost it crying again and I was
hysterical. Jim was on his knees in tears and couldn't talk at all.

It took about two weeks before things were getting back to any degree of
normalcy. In our next concert we knew we couldn't sing that song on stage. I
asked Lee-Ann if she and Caryn would sing it while we played in our show and
she said, "You sure? Why not just skip it?" I said, "Because Barb wants us to
play it and Jerry would have said to us - Don't be an asshole. It's only a
fucking song." Lee-Ann was laughing and said, "We'll do it."

They did it perfect in our show and we tried so hard not to cry. Each of us
had one tear at the end and the audience went wild over it. Barb wasn't
crying anymore and she smiled and stood, and clapped louder than anyone. The
next concert, we sang it ourselves.

By the end of the summer we had played 7 gigs with the kids, which was more
than we had played in a long time, but we were enjoying it. The last one was
the Labor Day NASCAR concert, which was huge. Lee-Ann's new tune just bumped
ours out of first on the charts and I said to her, "That's so unfair." She
laughed with Caryn for 10 minutes before they went on. Then she told the
audience what I said and we were all howling as she started the song.

School started for half the band again and the school offered us a special
program for our kids, so they could still play if they wanted to. Lindsey
said to me, "Aunt Kate, did you have something to do with this like when you
bought the land around the other school?" I said, "Not exactly. The school
needed a new auditorium, and now they have one called Southland. Construction
starts in two weeks." All of the kids were laughing and Trisha said, "How
much did that cost you?" I said, "Who gives a fuck. It's tax deductible. The
accountant thought it was a great idea."

We settled on two gigs a month and the kids were amassing their own fortunes
now. We gave them the accountant's statements and they were in total shock.
Lee-Ann sat on my lap and whispered into my ear, "Clara, we can stop renting
and buy that double wide now." I laughed so hard I almost feel off the chair
with her on my lap.

We did a Christmas special on TV with the kids and it was different. It was
at our house and just us being ourselves, singing and playing at home by the
huge tree that we always have in the den. Our new dogs were like lunatics and
the TV crew was loosing their minds. We did it all unplugged, and had
everyone in the house involved in it, plus the grandparents. We all loved
doing it and completely forgot it was on the air we had so much fun.

All of the kids finished their high school requirements early and I said,
"You are all going to graduation. Period! No excuses. Now who wants to go to
college?" No one wanted to go and I said, "Why not?" Lee-Ann said, "Mom, you
didn't go to college and it didn't hurt your career. You are loaded. We each
now have over 40 million in the bank on our own. Why in the hell should we go
to college?" I couldn't argue with them so I said, "Okay." Debbie whispered
in my ear, "You backed down pretty fast on that one." I whispered back, "I
didn't know what to say. She's right."

The birthday parties came around again and this time Lee-Ann and Caryn were
18. We had one huge bash again, and Lee-Ann said to me, "Now if someone finds
out about Caryn and me with you two it will be ugly, but not illegal." I
said, "Watch who you tell. Some people may be very offended and not
understand."

That night of the party, Caryn and Lee-Ann walked into our room through the
connecting door and we really had a wild time. We don't do it all that often,
but the four of us really get into it when we do. We made love and then
passed out, and then started again in the morning. At about 9 o'clock, Lee-
Ann was doing me with Spike, while Caryn was eating out Debbie, and Debbie
was sucking my nipples. All of a sudden we heard, "Holy shit!" I looked up to
see Brandy standing over the bed and Lee-Ann said, "Oh my God, I forgot to
lock the door. Oh mom, I'm so sorry." I said, "Brandy, shut the door and come
on in here."

She sat on the bed as we sat up and lit cigarettes. I said, "It is what it
is. Don't judge us so quickly yet. Lee-Ann and Caryn are so much like us its
like were almost twins. This was as much their idea as it was ours and we all
really enjoy it. We didn't tell anyone because we didn't know what people
would say and didn't want to offend anyone." She said, "Kate, this was so
fucking hot. My God. I can't believe it. I caught Tess and Trisha in bed this
morning by accident also, and I was going to tell you about it. Am I the only
one not sleeping with my kid?" Lee-Ann said, "Pretty much." I looked at her
and she was laughing and said, "All of us wanted to do this. We planned it
and we love it."

I said, "Lou-Ann and Roger? Val and Chet? Daisy and Beth-Ann? Laura and
Lindsey?" Caryn said, "Yup. Except Todd and Brandy." We all were laughing our
ass off in bed. Brandy said, "My son doesn't like me?" We were laughing
harder and Brandy was smacking my legs. Lee-Ann said, "That's not the reason.
If you were a guy, him would have been happy to do it." Brandy said, "Oh my
God he's gay? I had no idea. He never said anything about it to me. Kate, I
must suck as a mother." I said, "No you don't. Just sit down and talk to
him."

We all got up, showered, and dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.
Everyone was sitting at the table except for Mary and Beth and their kids,
and Chris and her two. Brandy sat and talked with Todd and he hugged and
said, "Thanks mom." Brandy said, "Just so everyone knows, all of you are
sleeping with your kids and don't try to deny it." Lou-Ann was blushed bright
red and I said, "It's okay with us. Just don't let anyone outside of this
house know about it until they are 18 or we'll be performing an Attica prison
for women."

The kids were all laughing about it and Laura said, "Isn't this parent
abuse?" I said, "Did she force you into bed with her?" Laura said, "No, not
really. I kind of like it. Actually, I like it a lot." We all were laughing
again and Lindsey said, "Mom, it's cool with all of us. Chill out about it."
I said, "Who was the brains behind it and my guess is Lee-Ann." They all
nodded their heads and then Roger said, "Caryn too. She was calling us
chicken shits until we did it." I was laughing but really pissed off at them.

I said, "Lee-Ann, what you did worked out okay, but don't ever fuck with
people's lives in our family like this again. It could have been a disaster.
Same for you Caryn." Lee-Ann said, "I'm really sorry everyone. Mom, will you
still love me?" I hugged her and she said, "Not that type of love. You know
what I mean?" I smiled and said, "Yeah, I will." She said, "Thanks Clara."
Debbie was laughing her ass off and I just covered my face. I said, "You are
never going to let me forget that one are you?" Lee-Ann smiled and said, "It
was 100 times better than anything that I could ever hoped to pull off. You
are the master of cons."

Everyone wanted to know what it was and I said, "You are all going to think
we are nuts for this one. Remember those lawyer's that came to see us in LA?
We'll we didn't really go fishing with them." I told the story and everyone
was in stitches. When I told them that Charlie died, they all were laughing
they're ass off. Debbie told them about the idea for that song and Brandy wet
her pants. Even Barb was lying on the floor in stitches when she realized who
Charlie was now.

Then they wanted to know the truth about the rest of the Alaska trip and we
told them. Brandy started to wet her pants again when we went into details
about the outhouse we dug and the tent. Trisha said, "Next trip, we're going
too." Everyone wanted to go and I said, "We'll do it when it gets warm enough
there. It's about 40 below zero right now."

I said, "Lee-Ann I have a dumb question. Was this thing about you and us,
just in this house, or did you talk to other kids at school about it also?"
She said, "Just here. I'm not that nuts." We all sighed in relief.


CHAPTER 31 - THE REAL DADS


We all recorded another CD and Lee-Ann and Caryn's new material was even
better than the last batch. They liked our new tunes also. Mary, Beth, Lee-
Ann, Caryn, Debbie and I collaborated to write the new material for Georgia
Passion, The crooked Road, and County Line. Stella called it a masterpiece.
We really do work well together and we get ideas so fast. It seems to take
about a quarter of the time compared to teams of two.

Lee-Ann and Caryn come into our room now without dead bolting the locks and
no one cares about it at all. Tess, Trisha, Daisy, Beth-Ann, Lou-Ann, and
Lindsey are regular visitors also. Debbie and I call ourselves the hotel
sluts and we laugh about it all the time.

Brandy and Barb pretty much keep to themselves lately, as they are so much in
love and completely into each other. We think it's great, as they both really
needed it. Debbie and I go though periods where we need to be alone also.

We took a break from the writing and recording for the awards. Our band
hosted the Grammy's and it was such a riot. We did a few skits and our
infamous monologs. Instead of a top list, Debbie and I rewrote the rules of
music. Debbie started with, "Any song that says kill your mother or kill your
father will be classified in the new category called sick-o-rock. We have a
plaque for that winner here." She held up a plaque of someone throwing up and
the place went nuts laughing.

We did about 10 of them and on the last one we started to laugh and the place
was roaring. Debbie said, "Anyone who records rap again will be banned from
earth." She held up a plaque of a spaceship and I lost it. Then she said dead
serious, "Our first category tonight is rap. Hey Charlie, get those rockets
fired up! We have some more passengers for you."

Everyone was cracking up and then I said, "To start our award presentations
tonight, please welcome Darla Knight and Jazz Summers from the Grammy winning
band Georgia Passion." Everyone clapped and we stood back about 20 feet as
Darla and Jazz told a funny story and then started the awards.

It was hard work being the hosts. We got our usually number of awards and it
was funny as we didn't go back to our seats and just stayed up there and told
jokes. We had someone bring us chairs as a joke on stage and we had the place
howling. Debbie wanted to know if anyone had an extra shopping bag for us to
use and someone actually passed one to the stage.

The best part of the night was the new artist awards. We gave that one
ourselves and we were pretty sure who would win it. Debbie said, "And the
winner is" I opened the envelope and showed it to her and I said, "Now this
is a surprise. How do you pronounce that?" I could see the kids getting
disappointed and I said, "Oh that's why. I had it upside down." I turned it
around and people were laughing as I said, "This one gives me great pleasure.
Shades of the Cottonwood! Lee-Ann Rodgers, Caryn Austin, Roger Mint, Tess
Wyoming, Todd Wood, Lindsey Baker, and Beth-Ann Miller!"

They all walked up to the podium and hugged us. Lee-Ann said, "Thanks mom." I
said, "You earned it on your own. Now say a few words." They really said some
very flattering things about us and told a story of how we helped them build
the band. Lee-Ann said, "They never once pushed us into this, and we were
hoping they would. We had to beg and prove we could do it. I really respect
them for that as it made us play ten times better than we would have." Caryn
got up and thanked everyone else including the fans. Everyone was applauding
for them.

We won best song of the year with the one we wrote about Jerry, and Lee-Ann
and Caryn won best song on a motion picture with one of their first tunes
that was picked up for a film. They were in shock, as they didn't think
they'd win. We thought it was funny as hell.

The CMAs were funny and very sad. They did a tribute to Jerry and Debbie and
I sang the song about him to just a folk guitar like the funeral and we both
cried again. Barb accepted a lifetime achievement award for him and she was a
basket case again.  The rest of the night was fun.

  . . . . . . . . . . . .

Time has a way of just flying by when you're busy and enjoy what you do.
Debbie and I played twice a month with the band and we all loved it. The kids
think it's great.

All of us had hits again, one after the other. Georgia Passion, The County
Line, and The Crooked Road all had one too with our material. Jazz and Darla
told us they were going to retire after this year, and so was Kathy with the
Crooked Road. We were thinking about it too, but each time we play a big gig
we get re-energized.

The end of the year rolled around, and then it was time for the Grammy's and
CMAs. We were really tired again and I said, "It's time to pass the torch to
the kids." When asked to host both shows I said, "I think we're just about
done. I appreciate the offer, but this year we're just spectators, and I'm
pretty sure we're calling it quits."

We all went to the Grammy's first and we were so happy the kids won best song
of the year. We stood and clapped for them and screamed. They also won best
CD and we were so proud. We won two awards and they won two more. Debbie
handed Lee-Ann and Caryn the plastic bag and we were all laughing.

The show was wrapping up and the host said, "We have one more very special
lifetime achievement award tonight. The two people receiving this award need
no introduction, but let me give you some facts and figures. Between the two
of them, they have won, 324 Grammy's in 27 years. They each have 26 best
songs of the year awards, only to loose this year to their daughters. Please
welcome on stage Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin." We were in total shock as
we walked on stage. Everyone was still clapping and I said into the podium
mic, "This means a lot to both of us. This year we decided that it was time
step back out of the spotlights and pass the torch to our children. We'll
still be around music, but not as active as before. We have so many people to
thank for this over the years. All of the bands we helped and that helped us.
They are all wonderful people and great friends. The producers and record
company execs. Margi, Bob, Stella, Chet, Tony, and I mostly want to thank
Debbie for being my soul mate through this wild ride." Everyone was clapping
and cheering as Debbie hugged me and we both cried. She said into the mic
emotionally, "We forgot to thank our kids. Caryn, Lee-Ann, you are the
headliners now and are on top of the mountain. Your ride is only starting and
we'll do everything we can to help you. God bless everyone."

We held each other and cried our eyes out and as people were standing and
cheering for us. Debbie said into my ear, "Kate I love you more than anything
in the world honey."

We walked back to our seats as people stopped us to shake our hands and give
us a hug or a kiss. The host closed the show and we were still talking to
people walking back to our seats. The kids ran up to us and were hugging us
and so were the other bands. Margi and Carrie were at the awards and they
came up to us and we hugged them for about 5 minutes along with Gretchen and
Brenda. Carrie's daughter, Lisa, was there and we hadn't seen her in 5 years.
She hugged us both and I said, "You look great! How's the West coast?" She
said, "I'll call you. It was okay, but I'm back again."

Stella cried on our shoulders and said, "What am I going to do without you?"
I smiled and said, "You have our kids and we will teach them everything. Let
them build the bands of the future, write the material, and produce. They
will be better at it than we ever were."

The CMA awards were even more emotional for us. We got the lifetime
achievements in almost every category. The kids got 6 awards and we were so
happy for them. Lee-Ann was an absolute pro at talking to the audience and
the host asked them to be the host of the next year's show before we left. I
cried and so did Debbie as Lee-Ann said, "Caryn and I would be honored."

When we got home I said, "Who's ready for Alaska in 6 weeks?" It was like a
stampeded to where we were sitting in the den. Everyone wanted to go and I
said, "We'll plan the trip in the next week of two."

Debbie held my hand and the two of us felt so good about the decision we
made. Trisha and Brandy were right with us. The other's still weren't sure. I
said, "If you still want to play, we can do a gig or two later this year. I'm
just not getting back into the rut we were in. It's addicting, and I know
Debbie and I will be addicts again and work ourselves to death." Daisy said,
"You're right on that one. If we go on stage again and the crowd goes wild, I
won't want to get off either. I think I'm done for good. We all have so much
money, why kill ourselves. Lets help the kids like we have been doing, and be
their best fans at some of the shows. Maybe we'll do a CD once in a while,
and do a few TV shows. I love the Christmas ones we have been doing."

Debbie and I spent almost the entire next week in our room in bed making
love. Lee-Ann and Caryn came to visit three times and hopped in bed with us
and then just laughed about it. Lee-Ann said, "You two getting up sometime
this year?" I said, "It's only been a week. Our record is three weeks. Yes,
we're getting up." Debbie and I sat up and lit cigarettes and then went into
the bathroom as Lee-Ann was laughing at us.

We planned the Alaska trip and then we went to the supply store and we bought
all of the gear we needed. We got everyone together in the den and I said,
"This is the deal, we can still change some of the gear if we have too. We
all sleep four to a tent. Bringing tents for two is way too much work to set
up and tents for 8 and too heavy for us to carry. The tents are just like
what we had before with a large single zipper sleeping bag. We did get an
improvement in the outhouse area, but it's still pretty rough. We got
everyone a fishing pole that can be packed plus cloths in each person's size
and boots for hiking. You all need to try on what we bought in case it
doesn't fit. If it's snug, you don't want it as it's cold there and you will
be very cold if the cloths or boots are snug fitting. We'll go through the
pack for each person. Anyone have any problems with what I said to far?"

Debbie said, "This is the game plan" and showed everyone the map. She said,
"We'll rent Hummer H1s and head west first, stopping at the Alaskan sea." Lee-
Ann said, "The crabs are out of this world. We caught a few this big." She
held up her hands wide and everyone was smiling.  Debbie walked everyone
through the route and she said, "We can make it 7 days of 12 days. Which
one?" Everyone wanted 12 so she said, "Cool. We get to stop at a town that I
wanted to see from the gold rush."

We made a few changes in the gear and also got everyone's sleeping choices.
Lee-Ann and Caryn wanted to stay with us and Debbie smiled at me and said,
"We are so fucking sick. We deserve a special Grammy for this also." Lee-Ann
was laughing her ass off.

Memorial day came, and we had all of the reservations confirmed as we headed
to the airport. Everyone slept on the flights to San Francisco and then to
Anchorage. We rented the fleet of Hummer H1s and paid a porter to put all of
the gear in the six trucks and had 4 people to a truck. We made the stop at a
local store first and loaded up on canned goods, bottled water, and
perishables.

We had CB radios and we were all goofing around talking to each other as we
drove down the coast. Lee-Ann said into the CB, "Turn right at the sign for
Russia." Everyone was laughing and then we stopped on the side of the road to
take pictures of some things everyone wanted to see.

We decided to go a slightly different place than last time that we saw when
we were hiking the last time we were here. We pulled into the place to camp
and the seals were everywhere. Everyone was going crazy with the seals and
each group set up one of the 6 tents. Lee-Ann, Caryn, Debbie and I set up the
bathroom facilities and everyone was laughing about it.  Lou-Ann said, "Why
leave the shovel?" I said, "You ever here the expression shovel shit?" She
was smiling and said, "Roughing it."

We built two fires and everyone collected more wood, and then we all went
crabbing. Everyone was having a blast and Daisy caught a king crab that had
to be 5 feet across. We had caught enough for dinner so we used one of the
big tubs we bought at the store and filled it with ocean water and boiled it
on the fire. Then we added crabs until they were cooked a few at a time.

We cooked for about a half hour and then we all sat on the folding chairs we
bought. Trisha was drooling over the crab and said, "This is orgasmic."

The first night in the tent was absolutely comical. Daisy fed one of the
seals and the heard of them wouldn't leave us alone, honking outside the
tents for food.

We went from place to place on our route, and really enjoyed ourselves. The
funniest was the Salmon fishing we did at the stream where we met the lawyers
last time. The cabin was rented to another band that we all knew, and we had
a huge fish fry that night.  Debbie and I also got it on with guitar and bass
player.

We spent a night by the ice glaciers and this was so cold. We were all
shivering in the tents. Washing in the morning really was ice water. None of
us jumped in. We used two of the cooking tubs to heat up water to wash with.

We found the town Debbie wanted to see and it was right out of an old western
movie scene. We all had a drink in the saloon and then looked at newspapers
from the 1800s the owner had on display.

We did a little more adventuresome rock climb and hike, as we brought
snowshoes this trip. We went above the snow line and everyone froze. It went
from 40 degrees to 0, in a matter of 500 feet. We were all shaking as we
turned around and Trisha said, "What a perfect place for a summer home. Lets
camp here." We pushed her over into the snow and she was cracking up.

We had thousands of priceless pictures of all of us goofing off and the
things we did. On the last night of our vacation in the tent, Debbie and I
made love to Lee-Ann and Caryn again, and then we sat up and had a cigarette.
I said, "We want to tell you both something."

They looked at us and I said, "We never really told you the truth about how
we got pregnant and about your real fathers." Caryn said, "You were
artificially inseminated. It was a donor, right?" Debbie said, "That's not
exactly the truth. We never told anyone what you are about to hear."

I continued, "When we first toured and went to LA, we did the tourist thing
and met some very famous actors, that were only a few years older than we
were. They were as nuts as we were too, and we really hit off. We partied
with then and we stayed in touch as often as we could. When we wanted to have
children. Debbie and I thought about it for a long time, and if we were to
get married, we both would have married those actors. We even talked about
sleeping together all the time as a foursome, as Debbie and I have always
loved each other way more than we loved them, and they knew it and accepted
it. The four of us decided that it was going to be hard raising you with just
any one of us being famous.  With all four of us famous, it was the kiss of
death. So we had them donate sperm to a sperm bank in our names. When we
ovulated, Debbie and fucked them for a week straight to make sure we got
pregnant, and then we did the artificial insemination thing so no one would
know."

Debbie continued, "We actually got pregnant on the first night. The guys were
terrific and wanted to help raise you and then we all decided it just wasn't
a good idea. Their schedule with making movies was far worse than touring in
a band. They were gone for 6 months at a time all over the world. Plus the
press would have picked up on it and you would have been on rag journals,
which we absolutely didn't want to have happen. We all wanted you to have a
somewhat normal childhood."

I continued, "The guys have been to your school plays, your birthday parties
when they could, and almost every major event in your lives. Lee-Ann, you
know you father as Uncle Brad. That's not his real name. It's only a stage
name. He real name is Harry Somerville, which is what is on your birth
certificate. Caryn, your father is Uncle Tommy, and his real name is Victor
Connors." The kids were in shock and I said, "They are going to be waiting
for us when we get home and really wanted to spend the day with both of you.
Now that you're 18, and successful on your own, it doesn't matter who finds
out." Lee-Ann said, "My dad is one of the most famous movie actors of all
time and producer? I love Uncle Brad, I mean dad." Caryn was still in shock
and said, "I can't believe it. Mom, your life is better than one of the soap
operas on TV. Now I know why he always tells me I have his smile. I guess I
really do." Debbie and I were nodding.

I said, "They also want us to do a movie that they are producing, now that we
are retied from music. We read the script and you're going to die laughing
when we two read it. They think they can film most of it on our property
using the large wooded areas, and fields by the stables." Debbie said, "Kate
and I will play two low class trailer trash red neck women from Mississippi
who are married to two guys that abuse us and that we hate. We leave them and
discover each other and fall in love. The whole movie is a combination
comedy, adventure, and drama about how they try to kill us, and we end up
getting them in the end. The ending to the script is so sad. We want you two
to write the songs for the sound track."

Lou-Ann said, "A real life Clara and Janet." We were all cracking up and I
said, "You'll never guess who the law firm is that handles their movies?"
Caryn said, "Oh my God?" Debbie said, "It is a very small world."

We sat up talking for hours, having a few cigarettes and some beers, as the
kids were laughing at us. We told them some the stuff in the script for the
movie and they were dying. I said, "I have to smoke Marlboro Reds they are so
strong. I got dizzy when I tried one. Debbie and I decided to just put our
ultra lights in the packs for the movie scenes."

We finally went to sleep and then in the morning Debbie and I made love one
more time in the tent next to Caryn and Lee-Ann. We got up and did the
outhouse thing, and then ate breakfast as Lou-Ann was cooking on the fire for
everyone.

We packed up again, and cleaned up the site, as Debbie said, "We have to get
the Hummers back and then get to the airport. Lets get a group photo before
we leave. I have a timer on my camera."

She set it up on the hood of the Hummer to take our pictures and we did three
as everyone was smiling.

We returned the trucks, and then slept the whole way back on both flights. We
got home about 4:30 in the morning and everyone was wide-awake. I said,
"Debbie and I will make some breakfast." We heard from the foyer, "It's
already made and in here for everyone." I smiled at Debbie and said, "Harry!"
He hugged me and Debbie, and then Lee-Ann. Victor came in also and hugged us
and Caryn. I nodded to Harry and he said to Lee-Ann, "I guess you know who I
am now. Shocked?" Lee-Ann said, "Hi dad. Now I know where I got my green eyes
from."

Harry was smiling as they took the kids out back to sit and talk on the
veranda as they ate and we went into the dining room. Everyone was in shock
and Trisha said, "I thought you did, what we did to get pregnant." I said,
"Not exactly. We never told anyone about this until we told the kids last
night. We'll tell you the truth."

Debbie and I told them everything as we ate breakfast. Brandy was in tears
and said, "This so romantic." I said, "Actually, it kind of sucked because we
had to lie to everyone about it, including the kids. It's not that we didn't
trust any of you, we just couldn't risk it getting out and ruining the kids
lives." Debbie said, "The day before we left for Alaska, we also agreed to do
a movie for the guys. We're filming half of it here. Any of the grown ups you
want to play parts in it?" They were all laughing as Lou-Ann said, "Making a
movie is worse than being on tour. You two are so nuts. Put me in for bit
part only." Brandy said, "Me too, but it can be bigger."

They all wanted to do small parts and when the guys came back inside with Lee-
Ann and Caryn I said, "We have the bit parts cast for you. Meet my sister
Lois." I pointed to Brandy and they were all laughing as Harry said, "That
works. Let everyone read the script. I think this movie will be a huge
success with you two playing the lead roles. We're taking Lee-Ann and Caryn
horseback riding for the day. We'll see ya later." Lee-Ann was smiling and
waved to me as they went out towards the stables.

We just started talking about the movie when we heard knocking on the windows
at the far end of the dining room. I looked up and it was Victor standing by
his horse with a stack of scripts. I opened the window and he handed them to
me and said, "Let everyone read it that wants a part." Debbie and I told them
the plot and we got into lot of detail about it. All off us read it over
again and then Debbie and I rehearsed our first scenes.

We really were pretty good at it and it felt so natural. We found ourselves
adlibbing and just let it go as everyone thought it was funnier than what was
written in the script. We worked on it all day and when the guys came back
with the kids for dinner I said, "I want you to be very honest with us and
watch our first attempt at acting in the first scene."

Two of the boys played our husbands and Debbie and I already had it memorized
already. They each read the parts and we did ours and acted it out with
adlibbing. When we finished, Harry said, "That was great. I love how you
changed the script. This I way better than what was there to start with. You
know how the spell Oscar yet?" We were all cracking up and I said, "No way!"

They helped us with the next scene where Brandy was my sister, Lois, and she
was piss. We had trouble doing the scene, as she was so funny. Harry said,
"We could do this without the script. This is great. Remember that phrase you
said, red neck, honky tonk, backwoods low life slut that happens to be
related to me by accident. It's a classic."

Harry said, "Learn your lines and we'll probably start shooting in about two
weeks. Who wants to try out for the other parts? Lets see what we got while
I'm here." It was a piss as he cast Trisha as a general store owner, Lou-Ann
as a grandmother who would have to wear tons of makeup, Daisy as Debbie's
next-door neighbor who's having an affair with her husband, Laura as the
lawyer in the end that defends us in court, and Val as the owner of a trailer
park. We all laughed at that one. We convinced Margi, Carrie, Gretchen, and
Brenda to be jurors in the court case. Victor kept a casting list and said,
"We signed the parts of the husbands. Check out their bios. They are
unknowns, but are really good actors." He showed us pictures of them looking
like Harvard graduates in suits and then one they taken in wardrobe for these
parts. I said, "Down home country hicks. I love it. They all got my Georgia
twang also?" Victor said, "No one has your twang, but they sound okay."
Everyone was making fun of my accent and we were laughing about it.

That night Harry and Victor stayed over and slept with me and Debbie. We had
great sex with them, but wore they out in two hours as usual. Harry was
laughing and said, "Kate, if we had gotten married I would have fucking
killed you like in the script. My dick feels like it's going to fall off."
Victor almost wet the bed laughing.

Debbie and I let them sleep and then we made passionate love for two more
hours.


CHAPTER 32 - MID LIFE CAREER CRISIS


Over the next two weeks we learned all of lines for the movie. Brandy had a
nice size part and she was so good at it. We all surprised ourselves. The
movie production company set up a bunch of sets on our property out back and
some of it was horrible looking junk. The mayor stopped over and before he
could say a word I said, "We're having a movie filmed here. The garbage dump
will be gone in a few months. He was smiling and said, "Just checking."

Shades of the Cottonwood became the closing act for the major gigs and we
flew out for their first one. It was a huge success and I couldn't have been
happier. The guys met us there also and Lee-Ann and Caryn were smiling at the
four of us in the front row the whole show.

We had our first day of filming for the movie and it was very interesting. We
met the director and he was an asshole. Harry said, "He's good, just bare
with it. If he gets out of line I'll step on him." We filmed the first scene
and we adlibbed it like before. The Director yelled, "Cut! What are you
fucking blind? That's not what's in the script! Do it again the right way!"

Harry walked over to him and said, "Jim, your chair says D-I-R-E-C-T-O-R for
director. My chair says P-R-O-D-U-C-E-R for producer. If you direct like you
did one more time, your fired. I like the way they changed the script. Do it
again, your way Kate." He smiled at me and we redid the scene our way. From
that point on, the director only said a few words to any of us. We started
calling him the invisible man.

It was weird how we filmed the movie, as it was all out of order. They did
things based on scenery, and sets. So we filmed the middle before the rest of
the beginning. I had a first romance love scene with Debbie in a run down
trailer and this was so hot.  We really did make love in front of the camera
and I orgasmed big time and so did she. The director yelled, "That's a Rap."
Harry and Victor came over to us and Harry said, "That was beautiful, but
we'll have to cut and edit half it or we'll have an X rating."

The scenes with the husbands were amazing. I hate to make myself angry and I
was like in a rage in one scene. Debbie had to calm me down and turn me off.
It was scary. We filmed the murder scene early in the one of the trailers and
in this one Debbie knocks out my husband and then I beat him to death with a
hammer. Harry knew about my past and asked if it was okay, and I said yes.
When we did the scene, we had a dummy lying on the floor that I was kneeling
over and hitting. I went wild and was screaming, "Die! Die! Die! You son of a
Bitch! Die!" as I hit the dummy over and over again in a total rage and it
squirted red ketchup all over me. I really thought I was back in my parent's
house. Debbie held me and stopped me and said, "He's dead baby. Calm down." I
hugged her and cried and that was not part of the script. The director kept
filming until we walked out of the trailer, covered in red ketchup that
looked like blood.

Harry had me sit down in a chair in the shade and said, "Kate, are you okay?
That was so real." I just nodded. He hugged me and then Debbie did again.
They were all covered in ketchup and Debbie licked it off my face. Harry was
cracking up.

After a month we moved the filming into one of the local town's courthouse
that was no longer being used. Laura was amazing as our attorney. I swear I
thought I was talking to one of our real lawyers in the scene after we get
arrested. The courtroom scene at the end of the movie is about 10 minutes and
was so amazing at how it played out. All of our friends, family, and people
from town were in the courtroom, with bit parts. The judge was a real judge
from Nashville who was having the time of his life doing this.

Debbie was fantastic as she testified on the stand and I stood and screamed
my parts weeping. Laura did a brilliant speech to the jury about how we were
abused and only defended ourselves. Then the jury found us guilty and I faint
in the courtroom when they read the verdict.

The story ends with us in prison that we filmed at Hollywood. We are so happy
together, even though we are in jail and then one of the inmates kills
Debbie. It ends with me having a total breakdown.

We had to film all of the other parts in Hollywood, which were mostly the
funny stuff, adventure scenes, explosions, car chases and stuff. Our red
pickup truck explodes when our husbands try to kill us for the forth time. We
thought that was pretty cool. Debbie and I did our own high-speed car chase
driving except for the real crazy stunt parts. We loved it. She was going 125
in a red pickup truck on a dirt road.

All of the filming was done in about four months and then the editing took
another month. Lee-Ann and Caryn wrote songs based on the script and they
gave us 6 that were amazing. I called Harry and said, "I'm sending you a
cassette tape of your daughter playing the tunes for the movie. The one at
the end is called, I'll miss you forever, and it's a definite hit record."

Shades of the Cottonwood recorded all of the songs and Harry had them put
into the sound track. The last tune was the title track for the movie.

We watched for of the kid's concerts even while we were filming the movie. I
have to say, this was a total blast.

All of us, including the kids, went to the screening of the final edited
version of the movie. I was watching and was into the movie it didn't sink in
it that it was us in the film. The movie was terrific, funny, and so much
adventure you were afraid to blink that you would miss something. The rage
scene with me was very scary. When we watched the court case and the ending,
all of us were crying. In the film I held Debbie in my arms as she dies and I
kiss her and then go totally nuts and get put in a solitary cell. The film
ends with the title song playing again as I'm screaming and crying in the
cell and we were all in tears.

We all stood and clapped. Harry wiped his eyes and said, "Better learn how to
spell Oscar Kate. This was one of the best performances I've ever seen. Both
you and Debbie were outstanding. Want to do another one?" He handed us two
scripts and said, "Read it before you say no." Debbie and I were cracking up
and I said, "This was really fun. Let's read it."

Lee-Ann said, "I have to run mom. We have a sound check in an hour. You're
coming to the show tonight?" I said, "We'll all be there. Have fun!" Harry
said, "Brandy, you should read this one too. The part you would be great for
is the Blues singer." That got all of our attention and he said, "You'll like
the script. Trust me." We spent the afternoon reading the script and then
went to dinner and then the show to see the kids.

Lee-Ann was on top of the world when she played the new tunes from the movie
sound track. The title song for the film was so moving, we all had tears in
our eyes. The audience loved her and we stood and cheered with everyone else.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Our film was released and it was a huge success. It grossed 80 million the
first week and Harry was screaming the numbers to us on the phone. He said,
"Your take is 14 million so far. How do like movies now?" I said, "We want to
do the next one too."

We made another movie that cast me and Debbie as con artists. It was an
adventure comedy and parts of it were hilarious. We laughed so hard in some
scenes it took forever to shoot them. We adlibbed a bunch of stuff like we
always did on stage and so did a few of the other actors.

We did half of the filming in Hollywood on sets, and then the rest in Memphis
where the story takes place. Brandy is a blues singer on Beal Street and we
loved that part of it. Debbie and I have one scam after the other to rip
people off. Brandy's path and ours cross when she's pretending to be a stuck
up socialite and we try to con her. It turns out that she is the master at
it, and she rips us off. Then we decide to get even. All of us had a blast
doing this one. It has a happy ending where Brandy, Debbie, and I are smoking
Cuban cigars in the back of a limo, after the three of us steel 4 million
from some overweight guy that owns ten car dealerships.

We laughed for hours in the screening of this one. Lee-Ann, Caryn, Mary and
Beth teamed up to write the music and it was terrific.  I said to Harry,
"Before you hand me another script, we need some time off. This was a blast."
He was smiling and said, "You know these two films will put you on top of
this mountain too." He handed us each a stack of 5 scripts and said, "Read
then when you get a chance. We think they all have possibilities and are not
sure which one to use next. How about if you pick the next winner for us?"

We chilled out for a while and watched our second film do as much money as
the first one. Debbie, me, and Brandy were on the cover of almost every
magazine about our acting and we were laughing about it. The headline from
one of the articles was, "Broken Hearts in Southland teaches Hollywood how to
make movies as good as their music." The whole band did three TV shows and
Debbie and I must have been interviewed at least 20 times by different
reporters. We really enjoyed it.

In December we decided we were tied of staying home again and wanted to do
another film, but didn't want to miss the award shows this year. We read all
5 scripts and we loved one of them that was another comedy adventure. We
laughed our ass off when we read it. It was about four total screw-up women
golfers on the LPGA tour who suck at golf. They bought and fucked their way
onto the tour and then did everything possibly to stay on tour including
sleeping with the tour officials. The ending is that they actually finish in
the top four in a national event, strictly by luck. The antics in this film
are as bad as things we did.

We called Harry and he said, "We thought you'd pick that one. I have a
tentative cast lined up that will make this one hell of a comedy. I'll fax
you the list. This one is easy to film and we can start almost anytime. It
won't take more than 2 to 3 months to finish it."

We got the cast list and loved it. I called Harry back and said, "How did you
get these big names for the film?" He said, "All I had to do was mention your
name and Debbie, and they all came running. I have a golf course we can use
in Florida to shoot the whole thing. I know you don't want to miss the
Grammy's and CMAs so we'll shut down for 2 weeks when they start." I said,
"You're still a doll. Thanks honey."

We went to one of the kid's concerts that evening in Nashville and they put
on the best show ever. We were all standing and dancing and the kids were
laughing at us from the stage. They insisted we come on stage for the last
song and Lee-Ann said into the mic, "Ya'll recognize these fine Southland
ladies. That one is my mom. Help us convince them to come on stage and sing
with us for the last song." The crowd screaming was deafening and we walked
on the stage and sang one of their songs with them.

We went backstage and Lee-Ann was still laughing at us. I said, "You played
wonderful tonight we couldn't sit still." Lee-Ann said, "Yeah, we noticed."
They were all cracking up and I said, "We start a new film and leave tomorrow
for Florida. We're breaking for the Grammy's and CMAs, as we don't want to
miss you take the landslide victory this year." Lee-Ann said, "We're taking
off for the Oscars, because you are going to win one. Every magazine is about
you guys in films. It's amazing. Mom, don't you ever fuck up?" Debbie said,
"Yeah, we screw up a lot. Just not in entertainment. This next film is about
us being total screw-ups. You'll love it."

That night Lee-Ann and Caryn came into our room through the connecting door
while Debbie and I were in a 69 position and they made us totally crazy. They
fist fucked us and licked our pussies for almost two hours. Then Lee-Ann and
I got into with Spike as Debbie and Caryn did it and watched us. Debbie was
drooling on us she was so hot. Lee-Ann sucked my tongue almost out of my
mouth and then giggled as she said, "Sorry mom. You make me so hot I couldn't
help it."

Debbie and I paired up again and we went wild on each other next to Lee-Ann
and Caryn. Lee-Ann said, "Have fun on our trip." She kissed me again and then
they went to their room.

The next morning, the kids had already left and we were packing for our trip
to Florida. We got Brandy and Val's son's parts in the movie again as our
caddies and they were walking on air.

The first day at the movie shoot we checked into the near by hotel and then
went to the golf course. Harry said, "Do you know how to play at all?" I
said, "We really suck." He said, "Excellent. Lets see how bad you are." We
all hit balls at the range and he said, "Excellent. You have great swings but
you make lousy ball contact. This will be easy. Now let we see you putt." We
all putted on a green and he was laughing and said, "We just cut off two
weeks of training. We can start shooting tomorrow. Let me make some calls.
Where did you get those clubs? Those a really expensive blades." I said,
"From the record company years ago." He said, "Use them in the movie. Those
are way better than the props we got. Just use the props when we have you
break your clubs and throw them in the water." We were all laughing about the
scene in the script and he said, "See you tomorrow at 9."

Filming this movie was the funniest thing we ever did. This made the `Be
Discovered' show seem lame. Everyday our sides hurt from laughing. The sex
scenes were also really hot.  Each one of us gave a real blowjob, but the
filming was such it didn't show the hot parts. I sucked off an actor who was
supposed to be the head of the LPGA while he was sitting in a restaurant. I
was under the table and it was hilarious. I pretended it got the hiccups from
it and couldn't putt in the golf round that day. Every other line in this
movie was a classic. The director kept saying, "Move over Caddie Shack."

The two kids that were Debbie and my caddie's were great. The improvised
lines were so funny I almost wet my pants on a few of them. I was supposed to
make a putt and I missed it. Roger took my putter and bent it in a loop and
said, "All better now." I putted with it looking like a banana and the ball
went in. Even Harry was lying on the grass laughing and said, "Keep that in
the film."  The scene where I get pissed off and break my clubs, I broke
Brandy's too just for the fun of it. Everyone was cracking up and I said to
Debbie, "Hey Butch, you want yours wet also, and I'm not taking about the
thing between your legs." I threw her clubs in the lake and we all were
trying not to laugh as the film was still running. Harry walked up to me
laughing his ass off and said, "That was a classic."

We broke for Christmas and new years, and we did our Christmas show from the
house. Harry and Victor joined us this year and we all had a wonderful time.
Then the kids flew out one tour again we picked up and finished the filming a
week before the Grammy's. The music for this one had to be different and I
called the guys from the ZZ top style band and told them the script and asked
them if they were interested in making some extra money using their music.
They were coming to our house after the Grammy's to see a rough edit without
music in it. Harry said, "No wonder you succeed at everything. I would have
never thought of using them. It's brilliant as every one of their song songs
is either about getting laid or screwing off."

The kids were so tired when saw them at home and I said, "You need a break! I
want you all to take at least a month off. Promise me!" Lee-Ann said, "We
promise. We're totally worn out. We should have never done the schedule we
did the past three months. It was way too much but the money was outrageous."

They were all looking better in a few days as we nursed them all back to
health. Lee-Ann was calling me Nurse Ratchet as Debbie was pretending to be
retarded.

We went to the Grammy's with the kids and they walked away with almost
everything. They won 8 awards this year and we couldn't believe it. They also
won best song for the title track in our first movie, and best movie song
track for our movie. Debbie said, "Maybe we will get something for that
film." I said, "I doubt it. We're amateurs in that industry." The comments at
the Grammy's were like the first and second year we won everything. Lee-Ann
was walking on air as a presenter announced them as the winner of best black
vocalist as a joke. The last award they got that night, Lee-Ann and Caryn
paid us the most unbelievable tribute and we didn't expect it. The audience
was all standing and clapping and they asked us to wave and the place was
cheering for us like you won't believe. Lee-Ann said, "They decided to teach
Hollywood how to make movies now. How are doing at it?" We got another
standing ovation and Debbie said, "I think we just passed amateur status." I
was smiling at her and she said, "O-S-C-A-R."

This night was all about the kids and we hugged them. Harry and Victor were
there and they hugged them both and were so proud.

After we got home from the Grammy's we spent a day with the guys from the old
blues rock band and matched their music up to the film. They never stopped
laughing during the film. We new we had a winner. We got them in touch with
Harry and he did the rest.

We all watched the screening of it in our house on DVD the day before the CMA
awards. It was an absolute riot. Margi, Carrie, Gretchen, and Carrie didn't
stop laughing for one second, and then everyone wanted to see it again. They
laughed harder the second time and so did we. Debbie said, "We really did
learn how to play golf doing this movie. At the end we had to try to fuck
up." Margi was still laughing and said, "How did they make the ball hit the
groundhog. Oh God was that funny." Debbie said, "I did that by accident they
left it in the film. Most of this was adlibbed, and just us screwing around
like we always do."

That night, Lee-Ann and Caryn slept with us to show us how much they loved
our film. They had a set of sex toys made to look like golf clubs and we died
laughing as we used them in bed. Then we were all moaning. Debbie yelled
"Fore" as she was cumming and I laughed so hard I pulled her off the bed with
me onto the floor.

The CMAs were a wonderful show. The kid's band hosted it and they were a
riot. The wise cracks about us were priceless. They won 10 awards, which was
way more than we ever did. Lee-Ann and Caryn walked away with every
songwriting award they give out and got best producer for the new County Line
CD. I was crying I was so proud of her. Stella also got a music company
award.

We all were home just goofing off for a while and our new film was released.
This one made every film review list as the funniest movie to ever come out
of Hollywood. We even got our pictures on the cover of Sport Illustrated in
our golf gear. The editor said, "How did you hit the Ground hog and sink that
putt with banana shaft?" Debbie said, "Dumb luck. That was the first take on
all of them." The four of us played a real round of golf with the editor and
he printed our scorecard in the article. Debbie and I were one under par, and
Trisha and Brandy were even for the round. We were all lucky as hell and
joking the whole round with him.

Harry sent us a stack of scripts again and I said, "Any one in the mood for a
week on one of the islands with us? We have some scripts to read and want to
do it on the beach?" They all wanted to go so I booked us all in Jamaica at a
resort.

Debbie, Brandy, Trisha, Laura, and I spent the week on the beach reading and
swimming with the kids. We liked a murder mystery script and also a disaster
script about a pharmaceutical drug disaster that also had murder in it. Both
were high intensity scripts. We called Harry and Victor from the resort and
told them what we thought and he said, "Let me send you two more overnight to
the resort. None of these are really good. They're not bad, but we're looking
to top your last one."

Debbie and I decided to spend the rest of the day in bed making passionate
love. We must have had 60 orgasms and were so light headed from it we had to
send for room service to get some orange juice to drink. Lee-Ann found out
and was laughing her ass off at dinner.


CHAPTER 33 - THE OSCARS AND A MURDER MYSTERY


The next day we got copies of the other two scripts and everyone read these
on the beach.  We all loved one of them that was a takeoff on American Idol.
We laughed our ass off. We also remembered doing `Be Discovered' and what we
went through. I called Harry and said, "We found it." He knew immediately and
said, "We loved it also and you four will be perfect. Let me tell you how I
thought we should cast it." I wrote it down for everyone and I said, "I'll
call you back." I showed them the list and Brandy said, "That works. You
think Lee-Ann and Caryn will take a week to do this part?" I said, "They
would love it."

We went to the beach and I said, "How would you and Caryn like to be
undiscovered on an American Idol like film? It's a comedy." She said, "How
bad is it?" I said, "Read the script. We have it right here with us. We think
it's a total piss. Your parts will take about 4 to 5 days to film."

They took the scripts and started reading them. It took about 2 minutes
before they were giggling as we went into the ocean for a swim. Debbie and I
were body surfing in the waves and Brandy, Barb, Trisha, Daisy, Laura, and
Val were all in a huddle kissing in water covering their boobs. We were
laughing at them and then joined them. They called it a band meeting.

We went back to the beach and lit cigarettes as we listened to Lee-Ann and
Caryn laughing. Trisha went to get us all rum drinks from the bar on the
beach and we all were getting toasted as Lee-Ann was now almost crying as she
read and so was Caryn. She said, "This is funny as hell."

Four hours and four drinks later, Lee-Ann said, "I'll do it. What a piss."
Caryn said, "Me too." We gave each of them a drink and they were still
laughing about parts of it. I called Harry from my cell phone and said, "Lee-
Ann and Caryn will do it." He said, "So will everyone else we listed. We can
shoot this in Nashville. Let me call Stella about using part of her facility.
We can also use part of your house too, and a few of the local clubs. We'll
try to get it set up to start next week. Enjoy the sun and surf."

Lee-Ann and Caryn were a piss practicing singing off key and we couldn't stop
laughing. They also wrote a song that night for the ending number and it was
excellent.  They helped us pick the music for the contestants to sing and we
had some funny stuff. I said, "Laura, how are you and Trisha going to keep a
straight face through all of this as the show hosts?" Laura said, "Benadryl
and pain. Hey what if the hosts are alcoholics?" We all were laughing at that
one and we made some notes on the script.

We flew home a few days later and called Harry with our ideas and had him and
Victor laughing on the phone. He said, "Do it. Shit is this funny."

We started the filming in Nashville in the middle of the week and filmed Lee-
Ann and Caryn's stuff first so they could go back on tour. It was priceless.
I laughed so hard I wet my pants and had to change before we could shoot
again. Lee-Ann and Caryn did the ending singing normal with the songs they
wrote to a full band behind them.  We couldn't believe how good they sounded
singing loud. We had friends and family, along with a ton of walk on actors
as an audience that really got into the act. It was like magic. Lee-Ann and
Caryn were brilliant and then Brandy does the Simon Cowl routine to them. The
audience starts a riot and the ending scenes are one screw up after the
other. There's a quick shot of Lee-Ann and Caryn beating up Brandy. None of
us could stop laughing when we filmed it. Roger plays one of the security
guards and he gets into kicking Brandy when she's on the ground too. The
movie ends with Lee-Ann ripping up the record contract saying, "Who needs
this shit! Hey Caryn, even think about trying acting?"

After they finished their parts then we got into the really screwed up stuff.
We get bribed, have sex with two butt ugly contestants, rig the phone in
votes, and do everything possibly to make Lee-Ann and Caryn loose. I had so
much trouble keeping a straight face as one of the judges. The story line is
that after Lee-Ann and Caryn hear how we rave about people singing off key,
because they bribed us, they try to do it also. Even the cameraman was
laughing too hard at one point to keep going.

The kids watched the filming between their weekend tour dates and we had they
put in a few extra bits about learning to sing off key. I thought Harry was
going to shit brick on this one when we turned a guitar off key for them to
learn by and write a script for them to use.

We finished the filming and no one wanted this one to end. It took a little
over a week to edit it and then we watched the rough screening. This was
another classic. Harry changed the name of the film to American Icon and we
all were smiling.

This film was released on Memorial day weekend which is usually terrible due
to vacations, but we broke the record we set on the last one. We grossed 180
million in the first week.

Lee-Ann and Caryn laughed nonstop as they watched the film. It also made
their CD sales go berserk. Stella told us it was the best thing we ever did
for her.

We decided to take a break before the Oscars and did a few TV talk shows. On
Good Morning America we were asked, "How much of each movie is adlibbed?"
Debbie said, "About half. When we get into a roll we just ignore the script.
We also change a lot of the scripts before hand to make them fit us better,
so it's more natural." They asked what's next and I said, "We love to do
comedy, and also adventure drama. I think a murder mystery adventure will
probably be next if we get a good script." We talked a lot about music and
how we conned Lee-Ann and Caryn into doing the movie. I said, "They read the
script and loved it. They wanted to do it. I have to tell everyone, we had so
much fun filming this movie, we didn't want it to end. Lee-Ann and Caryn came
back a few times to add things they came up with. The tuning a guitar wrong
to learn to sing off key was one of them. I actually wet my pants laughing
when we filmed that." The audience was laughing as they showed the clip of
it.

After the TV show, Debbie and I took a much needed time alone vacation. We
went to Northern Michigan right on Lake Superior and spent a week in a small
cottage. We loved it and made love all day when it rained. The walks on the
beach were so picturesque. We saw the Northern lights one night and stayed
out watching them until 4 in the morning. Then we made love until noon the
next day. We were more in love now than ever and somehow the film stuff
seemed to make us closer.

We flew home for three days with the kids and they went to the Oscars with us
in Hollywood. This one we did need to dress nice and Debbie and I spent a
small fortune on jewelry and gowns. We really did look hot. Getting out of
the limo at the Oscar's was like the Grammy's, except much classier. We
walked in on a red carpet and even the press was in gowns and tuxedos. People
were more reserved but very friendly. We had some many people tell us they
voted for us. Debbie whispered to me as the show was starting, "The TV
cameras have been on us the whole time. We better behave tonight." I
whispered back, "No way! It's too late to change us now." She as smiling and
held my hand as we listen to the opening comments.

It was a very interesting show. Harry, or Brad as he is known to the public,
got best producer for our first film in the drama category. We were nominated
for a lot of things but had no idea if we had a chance. The presenter said,
"In the category of best actress in a drama we have the following nominees."
He read the list and I was on it. The other presenter said, "And the winner
is Kate Rodgers for her lead role in Punish the Innocent!" I was in shock and
Debbie said, "Get up honey. You did it!" I smiled as I walked to the stage
and the presenter said, "Kate has turned this industry upside down this year
in her midlife carrier crisis. She has shown us what movies should be like.
This was the most outstanding acting performance I personally have ever seen.
Kate, it gives me great pleasure to present you with this award."  I accepted
it and held it up as I smiled and said into the mic, "A lot heavier than an
Grammy." Everyone was laughing and I said, "This I all new to me, and I do
appreciate this award very much. I didn't do it alone by any means. Brad and
Tommy guided us, and all of the members of Broken Hearts in Southland were a
big part of the movie. Acting is much different for us. We're use to
performing and getting the instant gratification of the audience's reaction,
good or bad. Here we love the process of making the films and it's addicting.
It's like painting a picture and then presenting it to the audience for their
reaction. I thank all of the people that went to see Punish the Innocent, and
I hope it moved you, like it did us when we filmed it." I held up the Oscar
and said, "This really is heavy. Thank you all very much." The audience stood
and clapped for me as I went back to sit down.

Debbie felt it and said, "Damn, this must be solid." Then they announced the
best supporting actress and we heard, "The winner is Debbie Austin for her
role in as Bess in Punish the Innocent." I said, "That's you honey. Get up!"
Debbie was in shock and she smiled at me and then walked to the podium. They
gave her a great compliment and her speech was little different than mine.
She said, "Kate and I have done everything together. We climbed mountains in
Alaska, rewrote the rules in country music, and even turned a very classy
Grammy show into a comedy night. Now that took some doing." Everyone was
laughing and she said, "We knew we needed a new mountain to climb, and we
also figured we'd fall a few times. We were very lucky this year with the
scripts and the direction we needed. Kate kept me from falling on the first
film, and then I kept her falling on the next one. Just like our Alaska
vacations. I will always treasure this award. The first one is also so sweet.
Thank you to everyone that gave us this chance and everyone that was involved
in the film. Kate, you were right. This I really heavy."  They all stood a
cheered for Debbie and she held up the Oscar smiling and walked back to me.
She gave we a quick kiss and the TV cameras we on us.

This tuned out like the Grammy's. We got another one for best comedy with
"Fore!". Debbie got best actress and I got best supporting actress. The
speeches were funny as hell and we had the place howling.

Then we got best musical with American Icon. This flipped us out and we were
both laughing when we went to the stage. I told the story of how Lee-Ann and
Caryn learned to sing off key and the place was howling. Brandy got and award
for this one also and she was a piss on stage.

Harry and Victor got best comedy producers and musical and they were laughing
and pointing to us. The presenter said, "How did you convince Lee-Ann and
Caryn to do those parts?" Harry said, "It was easy. We're their fathers." The
place was laughing and they asked us to stand up and I yelled out, "It's
true." Lee-Ann and Caryn were two rows back and they stood and waved to the
stage. Lee-Ann yelled, "We would have done it anyway! We loved the script!"
The audience was cracking up and the presenter said, "Guess you turned a
classy show into a comedy after all. Nice job!" Everyone stood and clapped
again.

We had a blast and stayed and talked to people in the theater until 2 in the
morning. They asked us if we wanted to host it next year and Debbie started
laughing and I said, "Sure. Why not as long as you know what our style is. We
are rarely serious about anything." The President of the Actor's Guild said,
"Good!"

That night, Debbie and I made love all night and into the morning and each
time we took a smoke break we started to laugh about something else. We
stopped when the alarm went off at 10. Lee-Ann and Caryn joined us at
breakfast and they were laughing. Caryn said, "You two were up all night. I
love it. Sleep on the plane. Mom, you and Kate did wonderful last night. You
are on the front page of every newspaper today." She handed us the Times and
it was a huge picture of us. Debbie said, "Cool looking gowns. We did good on
that one." Lee-Ann read us the article and it was very flattering. Debbie
said, "They like my analogy. It is true." Debbie kissed me with mouthful of
scrambled eggs and Lee-Ann was laughing as she continued to read the article.
We were like zombies as people came to our table to get all of our autographs
and we signed them as we could hardly keep our eyes open. I said, "Excuse the
penmanship, but we haven't sleep yet." A woman said, "We loved your music and
we now we love your movies. Get some rest and keep us entertained forever."

The people left and Debbie said, "We're entertainers." I said, "You just
figured that out now?" Lee-Ann and Caryn were howling and they walked us to
the door to get the limo. Debbie and I slept in the limo, in the airport, on
the plane back, and in the limo from the airport home. Went to bed as soon as
got home and slept through to the next morning.

Lee-Ann and Caryn brought us breakfast in bed and we felt great. Lee-Ann
handed us a package and said, "Scripts to read from dad. He said they are all
murder mystery adventures and all are very good."

Debbie and I ate breakfast with the kids on our bed and then we got up and
spent the next two days at the pool reading the scripts with everyone. We
talked about them and I said, "If you combined these two scripts somehow, we
have a winner." Everyone agreed and we called Harry and Victor and told them
our idea. He said, "Let me call the writers and see if they will collaborate
on it with you."

He called us back in an hour and said, "They both are interested and both
live not to far from you. One is in Memphis and the other one is about an
hour north of Nashville. Why don't you met with them and tell them what you
had in mind." We got all of the contact information and Debbie made the
calls. They were both joining us at 3 this afternoon at our place.

We went inside and wished the kids well on their NASCAR concerts this
weekend. Lee-Ann said, "Everyone wants me and Caryn to goof on the American
Icon and do 30 seconds of the off key song before we do the real one. You
think it's a good idea?" I said, "I wouldn't do that. Some people may think
you're serious and hate your act. Not everyone goes to the movies." She said,
"Thanks mom. That's what I said too."

All of us got dressed in our jeans and tee shirts and waited for the writers.
We were having a drink in the den and they both showed up at the same time.
Rheeta brought them into see us and I made them a drink. It was woman named
Lisa about 55 and a man about 60 named Horace. We explained what we had in
mind and they both said, "We need to read the other script first." We set
them up in the study with whatever they needed and I said, "Let us know when
you want to talk to us about it. Rheeta can get you whatever you need to
drink or eat."

We made an outline of two possible ways to combine the scripts and what
happens to the characters. We also made an outline of what we want the ending
to be and we thought that it would be the surprise movie ending of the
century.

About 6 o'clock I asked Rheeta to bring them some dinner and we ate also. At
7 they both came out and Horace said, "Why do you want to combine these?" I
said, "Within 45 seconds of listening to a song we can tell if it's a hit
record. In the past year, we have learned the same thing about scripts for
movies. We have changed every script we did so far to make it a success.
Neither of these scripts are strong enough for us to do them as they are.
Take a look at our suggestions and you tell us if you agree."

Debbie walked them through the characters and what we had planned for them in
the two options, and then the surprise ending. They both like the ending a
lot and were talking about the charters. We listened and told them we thought
about each one. By 9 we had a version of the overall story that seemed to
work. Horace said, "Why don't we work together tomorrow and assemble a script
that has all of this in it. I think we have one hell of a major hit here with
all of you in it." I said, "Lisa, you agree with Horace?" She said,
"Absolutely. This is a much more interesting plot and the ending is a
blockbuster."

I said, "You need anything from us for tomorrow?" Horace said, "We're good to
go. We'll call you when were done. Can I have your phone number?" I gave it
to him and our email address as I said "You can email it for us to review."

The next day Debbie and I we did some cloths shopping in the morning and then
went out for lunch. We stopped to say hello to Stella and she was telling us
the projects she has in store for the kids. We were smiling and I said, "Just
don't burn them out." She introduced to a new act she just signed and said,
"Lee-Ann and Caryn are doing their new material and producing them." The band
was so star struck with us and I said to Stella, "They need to relax. Lee-Ann
and Caryn don't have the patience we do. Hey, guys loosen up! We're were just
like you are 27 years ago." One of the band members said, "But you're Kate
Rodgers and Debbie Austin." Stella said, "Thanks. I'll work on it Kate. And
good luck with the new movie."

We left and we were smiling as I said, "Lee-Ann and Caryn will be screaming
at them." We went home and walked in just as the phone rang. Brandy answered
it and said, "Hi Horace. Sure. Send it to us in the email. We'll call you
back after we read it. Most likely tonight some time."

Brandy went in and printed out copies of the script and it was thick. I said,
"Let's start reading." We went to the pool and read in the shade at the
tables and talked about each section as we read it and Debbie made a list of
things on a master copy. We went inside when it got dark and then finished in
the study around 9. We had list of minor changes and we called Horace from
the speakerphone. Lisa was there with him and I said, "Hi. We liked it a lot.
We have a few minor things we walk to go over with you. Can you meet us here
for breakfast tomorrow around 8?" They were excited and Lisa said, "We'll be
there. Thanks so much."

The next morning we gave them our suggestions and why we wanted the changes.
Debbie was so good at explaining how her emotions would have to change too
much in one scene and they both understood. We also made one character a
total flake and gave him some funny lines. They were laughing at the lines
and I said, "It breaks up a long movie." We had about 20 changes like that
and I said, "We need to get us another copy and then we'll get it to the
producers also." We finished eating and Horace said, "We have our laptops
with us. Can we use your study and do the changes here?" I said, "Sure. Help
yourself to coffee or whatever you want." It took them about an hour and we
had a new version and they also emailed to us using our Internet connections.
I emailed it to Harry and called him. I said, "It's long, but very good. Let
me know what you think."

I said to Horace and Lisa, "If he goes for it, we could start shooting in a
week or two. I'll give you a call as soon as I hear from him." They were so
excited and Debbie said, "It's a great script and you did terrific working
together. You should collaborate on other ones too."

We went to the pool and spent the day totally goofing off. Debbie and I made
love in the shade by the tables and Brandy and Barb were next to use getting
excited watching us. They finally gave in and got naked next to us and I
said, "We need to put this scene in one of movies too." Brandy was giggling
and said, "Maybe I'll get the Oscar for the lead role in this one." We were
all laughing as Debbie was eating me out and mumbled into my pussy, "That's
my role in this one." Trisha and the others were in the pool and laughing at
us.

After we ate dinner Harry called and said, "I absolutely love this script,
but it will be a long movie; about two and a half hours. I say we shoot it.
Based on what's involved it will this one, it will probably take 4 to 5
months. We need to find an old broken down mansion to use for this." Debbie
said, "The one on Hill Top has been empty for years." I said, "That's on our
property. We own it. We have never even been inside of it. Harry you want to
check the place out? It's free to use, we own it and all of the land around
it. The fence can be taken down. We put it up to prove a point." He was
laughing and said, "Was this the thing with the Garbage Dump?" I said, "You
got it." He said, "I'll take a drive over to see it in the morning. I'm in
Memphis tying to get some scripts."

The next morning Harry stopped over and I found the keys to the house in our
safe along with the Deed. We all went to the house to check it out and it was
a very old Victorian style mansion. It wasn't that bad inside at all, except
it was very dirty and dusty. Harry said, "Lets shoot it here. This place is
unreal. I'll call a crew and have the place cleaned up but we'll leave the
outside the way it is for now except the fence needs to go. We'll have a
wrought iron one put up. That storage barn will make a great place for the
first murder. I think we should film some of this at night too. Is that well
real?" I said, "I have no clue. This the first time I have even been on this
lot." We went outside and walked around again and Harry checked out the well.
He said, "Excellent hiding place."

Over the next week they turned our garbage dump property into a movie
location and the mayor thanked me at least 5 times. I said, "When we're done,
I'm going to have the place cleaned up and sell the property in about 6
months or so." He was ready to kiss my ass and Harry took advantage of it and
got him to give us permits to shoot in the city also, and use an office
building, and also part of the police station and the hospital.

Harry had the production crew set up and the cast was all ready by the next
week when we started shooting. I played the lead role as a total bitch who
was married, having an affair with my husband's best friend, and a woman that
was my maid. That was Debbie and she also had a lead role in the movie. She
had the hardest part, as she was slow; not retarded, but simple and slow. It
took her days to practice to be able talk very slow and deliberate. She also
used her own name a lot, Meg, to talk in the third person about herself.

Most of the movie happens in two old style houses, so we painted the back and
side of the house different to make it look like different homes for the
filming based on the angles used. Harry also had two rooms done completely
different inside also.

We did a lot of this film it the order of the script, which was strange, but
it also made us get into the plot more. In the opening scene, I'm in bed with
my husband and let him have his way with me as I lay on my back and totally
ignore him. I rollover afterward, light a cigarette and then walk downstairs
and curse at how much I hate his guts as I throw a glass vase against the
wall and it breaks. Debbie comes out and hugs me to calm me down and that's
when we first make eye contact. We filmed that first part and Harry said,
"Excellent. That's a rap for today. Kate told me to announce dinner is at her
place tonight for everyone."

The dinner at out house was just a fun get together for the cast and crew at
the start of the movie. I made an opening speech and said, "This get together
is to help all of us to get to know each other and be friends as this is a
long movie. I play a total bitch and if you see me still in character after
we shoot, tell Debbie. She can usually turn me off. She plays a very slow
simple person. If she gets that way after a shoot, take away her Gin and
Tonic." Everyone was laughing and I said, "Brandy plays a totally psychopath
killer. If she stays in her character, just run and hide." Everyone was
cracking up as we spent the evening loosening people up.

We filmed all of the sex scenes first to get them over with and you would
have thought we were making a porno flick. They actually were only going to
use 30 seconds or less of each one. I seduce Meg, Debbie's character, and
this really broke my heart as we did the scene. She played it perfect and
calls me Miss Catherine all the time. She holds her fist to her heart and
says, "Miss Catherine, you make me feel good right here. I like you." I say
back, "Meg, call me Cat and I like you too." From that point on, Debbie and I
still use our fist to our heart to say I love you.

In the plot Debbie is very slow and she is so upset about me being abused by
my husband. I take her to bed again and I cry on her shoulder and then we
start to kiss. My husband walks into the room and catches us and beats the
living crap out of both of us. Then he drags me by my hair up the stairs to
our room as I'm screaming, and he rapes me. Debbie follows us and lies on the
floor next to bed and holds my hand that I have draped over the side of the
bed. She keeps putting her fist to her heart and saying, "Meg likes Cat.
Please stop hurting her." After the scene the crew was in tears.

Debbie and I, in our characters, decide that she will satisfy my husband and
he agrees to it. Debbie, says to me, "My mother hurt me bad." She shows the
scars they put on with makeup on her shoulders and says, "Meg likes Cat too
much to let that happen to you too." I kissed her scars and started to cry.

We also did a sex scene with Paul, the guy I'm having an affair with and he
was making fun of Meg. I slap him hard and Meg says to him, "You are a very
bad man. Cat likes you and I like Cat." Brandy sees the whole thing looking
through a slit in the doorway and we let the audience think that's what
triggers her off.

Harry had us film in two production crews, using two sets, and it was wild.
None of us knew exactly what was happening in the rest of the movie. He also
had us work different shifts for the night filming. We opened up the property
to the town and let people come and watch as long as they stayed out of the
way. It was like a carnival towards the end, and we all had a great time.

Debbie played her part so good it was scary. So did Brandy. We all told
Brandy she made the perfect nut ball, and Harry said, "This movie will be
remembered like the original Psycho".

The filming of the murders was almost too real. They did it so you couldn't
really see who was doing it, and slowly showed more of Brandy as the movie
progressed. She does the first murder with her swinging an ax, and they had a
stunt double in with her on the set. The double says, swing hard at me. I
have on body armor so even if you hit me, it won't do anything. Brandy was so
afraid to do it and then she got into character and was a raging lunatic
swinging the ax. The guy got hit by accident and it went through the armor.
Fortunately it missed all major things, and the director got it all on film.
Brandy was so upset; we suspended filming for two days. The guy was fine
after a day in the hospital and 35 stitches. We gave him the ax to have
mounted on his wall at home.

Lee-Ann and Caryn came up with two songs for the movie that were brilliant.
One was called, "Simple Meg." It was a slow ballad and Harry used it in the
scene where I really fall in love with her in the garden out back. Debbie and
I both cried when we first heard it. They also wrote a hard rock metal song
that they recorded with Todd singing it for the murder scenes near the
ending. We were all shocked at that one, and it was damn good. After Harry
and Victor heard the first song from Lee-Ann, they changed the name of the
film to "Simple Meg."

The last 20 minutes of the movie is at night when Brandy kills my husband
first in the house but it never really shows her face doing the murder. She
also kills a handy man who was working at the house that came back to pick up
his tools.  Debbie and I, in characters, seduce one of the detectives that
was questioning us about the murders, and we have him in bed with us in Meg's
room. Brandy finally comes after us, and the ending struggle scenes are
amazing. She stabs me and I fall over on the bed and then the cop, who the
audience thought was unconscious manages to shot Brandy just as she was about
to slit Meg's throat.

Everyone thinks the movie ends with me in the hospital and Meg by my bed.
After we did that last film shoot, Harry said, "That's a final rap everyone.
We just made a masterpiece."

After everyone left, Brandy, me, Debbie, Harry, Victor, and a skeleton crew
finished the movie with the surprise ending that we really wanted to keep a
secret. We picked up the film with me in the hospital and Meg by my bed. She
puts her fist to her heart saying, "Meg loves Cat. The bad people are all
gone now."

The movie would them show us remembering what we did. We filmed scenes at
night without anyone around on a Sunday of me and Debbie committing the
murders, dressed just like Bandy was. These scenes were edited into the ones
we filmed before, to leave the audience believing that it was really us that
killed everyone and tried to frame Brandy by leaving clues. Brandy was only
coming after us because of what we did to her husband. She saw me and Meg
kill him which we showed in our memories. Meg has one more line at the end
where she whispers to me in the hospital, "Meg wants to go away with Cat now.
We punished those bad people just like my mother punished me. I love you
Cat." I smiled at her and put my hand to my heart and say, "After the will
gets probated and we sell the house, Meg, you and I will be living on a lake
in Maine. I promise." Meg hugs me and the film ends on a frozen picture of
her, as Lee-Ann's song would play again.

The editing took about 3 weeks and the three of us reviewed the memory scene
edits twice and made a few changes to really make people all want to say,
"Holy Shit!" After it was finished, we invited all of the cast and crew to
view the screening of the movie at one of the movie theaters in town. This
was one of the scariest and best murder mysteries we ever watched. Harry and
Victor made this into a true masterpiece. We gave them a standing ovation
when the film was over. Everyone was so surprised at the ending and we must
have heard, "Holy Shit!" ten times.

Harry said to us afterward, "So what do you want to do next?" I said, "Horace
and Lisa have been working on a new script that's a comedy. That's what they
wrote up this point. This was their first murder story." He said, "They're
collaborating again?" Debbie smiled and said, "They never stopped. They're
living together. We helped them with ideas of this one and it is a total
piss. It's about 6 doctors that accidentally discover a miracle drug that
stops aging and cures cancer. They should be ready for everyone to read it in
about 3 weeks, which gives us all some needed time off."


CHAPTER 34 - THE REAL TRUTH


Our time off was wonderful. Debbie and I had our lives change forever by
making this movie. I saw something inside of her I never have before, and she
said the same thing to me. We used our fists over our hearts every night as
we cuddle and kiss. We decided to take a vacation by ourselves for a week and
actually went to the lake in Maine we talked about in the movie. We stayed in
a small cottage, fished, and swam. We loved every minute of it.

When we got back we went to one of Lee-Ann's shows and she did the song
Simple Meg from the movie and the audience went crazy. After the song ended
and the crowd cheering stooped, she said, "The movie will be released any day
now, by the same name. It's one of the best our mom's have ever made and the
ending will keep you awake at night for weeks. It scared the crap out of us
and we read the script." She had us stand and the audience was clapping as we
waved.

After the concert, we stayed in a hotel in Oklahoma with the kids, and Lee-
Ann and Caryn slept with us. They loved it when Debbie and I used our fist
and Lee-Ann said, "Oh my God mom, I'm going to cry." They held us as we made
love and it was as close as I ever felt to Lee-Ann.

When we got home, we saw a commercial on TV for the new movie. I called Harry
and he said, "Tomorrow's the grand opening. Keep your fingers crossed."

We drove by the property to check on the contracts we hired and the
renovations were all done. The house looked massive and brand new. I called
the realtor we know and I said, "Hi Martha, feel like making a commission on
the property we used to film that movie. It's all fixed up and looks brand
new." She was so excited and was telling us it would be sold in days. It was,
for fifteen times what we paid for it 15 years ago. The kids were cracking up
when we told them.

All of us were relaxing at home goofing off and it felt great. Horace and
Lisa came over to meet with us to review the finished script. They had made a
ton of changes and this was really funny. They also changed a few of the
charters. Everyone wanted me to play the lead role, who is a total jerk and
the marketing genius that promotes the discovery. They wanted Debbie to play
the scientist that is a total klutz and discovers the drug to begin with.
Brandy and Trisha were the slutty lab assistants. Laura is the lawyer that
has to defend all of us in court. Daisy, Val and Lou-Ann would also have big
parts in this one also.

We sent the script to Harry and he called us back the next day and said,
"This is an easy one to do and will cost next to nothing, but is funny as
hell. Hey, did you get the email I sent you about the gross of Simple Meg?" I
said, "No. We haven't checked out email since we got back. How much?" He
said, "It's a surprise, like the ending. Read your email and I'll get this
one scheduled."

Debbie turned on the computer and read through our emails. She said, "I got
it. I'll print it out." She brought it over to me and we read it together. I
said, "No way. He's jerking our chain." I called Harry back and said, "This
can't be right." He said, "It is and all of you have one hell of a paycheck
coming. We just set a new record for gross receipts of a film in one week,
two weeks, and three weeks. We did double what Titanic did in just the first
4 days, which had the old record from years ago. Lee-Ann and Caryn will be
real happy too. The sound track has boosted their new CD sales up by over 3
million in just 2 weeks."

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We filmed the new comedy movie in 7 weeks using Hollywood sets. This was such
a piss. The last 20 minutes of the movie we get sued by the US government for
stopping aging because so many people were making money on people dying and
charity scams and they were all now out of work. We loose in court and are
ordered to stop making the drug which causes a national revolution. We
adlibbed more than half of the scenes and it was insane. When the actor that
plays the judge says to me and Debbie, "Just give me one good reason to keep
people young." Debbie winks at me and stands up saying, "How bout or top ten
list your honor?" We did a top ten list off the top of our heads and it was
priceless. I still can't believe that Debbie and I kept a straight face, as
everyone in the courtroom scene was in stitches.

When we finished the shooting, Harry was laughing his ass off and I said,
"What's so funny?" He handed me six copies of a script titled, "Three!" and
said, "Read it. You feel like a slight detour to Florida again?" The writers
of our golf movie, "Fore!" did a part II version called "Three!" It was as
good as it gets.

We went to Florida and filmed that one too. We all worked on our real golf
game when we were there and had trouble hitting bad shots for the movie.
Debbie had a real hole in one, and we kept it in the film.

After that filming was over, Debbie and I decided to go back to Maine to that
cottage on the lake and just relax for a while. We completely forgot how cold
it gets in the winter in Maine and it was snowing like a blizzard when we got
there. We drove our rented jeep to the cottage and ran inside as soon as we
parked the car by the front door. We could see our breath inside the cottage
and I said, "Turn on the heat honey". Debbie was laughing and said, "Heat?
What heat? It's a fucking stove." I started to laugh too and we spent three
hours in the snow carrying in wood for the wood burning stove. We finally got
it lit and then we sat next to it as the room slowly warmed up.

After a few hours we sat and watched the snow and it was so relaxing. Debbie
put her arms around me from behind as I lit a cigarette and she whispered
into my ear, "I think our mattress on the floor is calling our names." I blew
out the smoke as she cupped one of my breasts and pinched my nipple. I put my
hand on top of hers as she caressed me and said, "That feels so nice honey."
I leaned back on her as she took a drag of my cigarette and then handed it
back to me, and caressed my other breast too. I was absolutely melting in her
arms as we shared the cigarette and watched it snow. Debbie said, "We still
need to bring in our bags. Plus I left the keys in the Jeep." I tuned to her
and kissed her and then said, "We can get them in the morning. We don't need
no stinking cloths for what we're doing." She smiled and dragged me to our
mattress on the floor, undressed me, and then we made passionate love under
about 5 blankets.

After about an hour I threw more wood in the shove and it was like Hawaii in
the room. We lay on top of the blankets in a 69 position and we were so into
each other. I wanted to eat her pussy for the entire 3 days of our visit.
Debbie stopped me after about an hour and said, "I think it's time for
Spike." We fucked our ass off and then I went down on her again. I loved to
swallow her cum and when I lifted my head to show her all of it in my mouth,
she made a fist on her heart. I melted inside and kissed her. We got under
the covers and rolled on our sides kissing for what had to be an hour. Our
breasts were mushed together and Debbie said, "Lets sleep like this honey. It
almost feels like we're one person." We feel asleep and totally forgot to put
more wood in the stove.

We woke up absolutely shivering with out teeth chattering and it was light
out. We heard a loud rumbling and got up fast as Debbie screamed, "Oh Fuck!
Let's run to the jeep and get out of here." We saw an avalanche coming down
the mountain behind us out the windows and we ran out in the snow naked to
the jeep. Debbie started it up and we drove as fast as we could as far as we
could as it felt like the entire ground under us was shaking. The noise was
like a freight train and I was watching behind us and yelled, "Step on it!
The trees just plowed into the cottage and it's still going." Debbie shifted
and went as fast as we could in the deep snow on the road and we finally got
away from it when the road bent in a curve.

Debbie pulled over and turned on the heat in the Jeep and we were both
shaking, but not from the cold. I said. "That was about as close as it gets
to us leaving this world for the next one." Fortunately we were too lazy to
bring in our bags last night and we both put on cloths in the car. I opened a
carton of cigarettes from our bag and lit us each one as we sat in the back
seat with the engine running. We kissed and hugged and our hearts were still
racing. Within ten minutes a fire truck was stopped on the road next to us
and the firemen got out and were knocking on our windows. We climbed back
into the front seat and I said, "Our vacation cottage is gone." The fireman
said, "Thank God you weren't in it." Debbie said, "We were. We ran out naked
when we heard the noise and drove as fast as we could here. We left out bags
in the car last night and got dressed in the back seat just a few minutes
ago." He said, "Did you get hurt?" I said, "We both cut up our feet on the
splintered wood." He looked at our bloody feet and said, "I'll get an
ambulance to get you to the hospital."

He called for an ambulance and stayed with us as the fire truck went to look
for other people. He said to us, "You two are very lucky. I doubt anyone else
got out. There were 24 homes on that road. This is the first time we have
ever had an avalanche near here. They usually happen about 15 miles north.
Can I have your names?" We told him and he did a double take of us and then
was smiling and said, "I don't believe it. We love your music and the films.
My wife and I just saw your movie `Simple Meg' last night and it was
unbelievable. She was up all night talking about it." Debbie got into the
character and was talking like Meg as she said, "Meg likes Cat and we were so
lucky. You never told Meg that Maine was like this Cat." We both put our
hands on our hearts and the fireman smiled and said, "Damn."

The ambulance got there and we were both carried into the back of the
ambulance by the fireman. He drove our rented Jeep behind the ambulance and
followed us to the hospital. Debbie and I got stitched up in the emergency
room. I got seventeen stitches and she got nineteen as the nurses were
talking about how many people they found dead in the other houses. A reporter
came into the ER area and said, "Those two that survived. Can I get their
pictures and ask a few questions?" Debbie looked at me and I said, "Yeah sure
after I make a phone call."

Our feet were killing us and we both got wheel chairs to go the phone. I
called Lee-Ann and said, "Hi, it's your almost dead mother." She had no idea
what I was talking about so I said, "We escaped an avalanche by seconds and
cut our feet up pretty good. Are you going to be home today to pick us up at
the airport? We're both going to be in wheel chairs because of the stitches."
Lee-Ann said, "Caryn and I will here. Just call us with the flight number on
my cell."

We called to get a flight and the airlines said, "Are you kidding? We're
completely snowed in and will be for at least two days." I called Lee-Ann
back and she was laughing at us and she said, "I'll call to get you a hotel
room. You have your cell phone with you?" I said, "It's buried under about 60
feet of snow. Call me back at this number." I gave it to her and then we did
the interview.

The reporter didn't believe us and I said, "Our pocket books are in the
cottage under the snow. I can't prove it to you. Just call us Meg and Cat in
the article." He had no idea what we were talking about and he called Debbie,
Meg. We laughed our ass off after he left.

Lee-Ann called us back and said, "We got you a ride in Hummer to Logan
Airport in Boston and then a flight back this evening. The hotels are all
snowed in and full."

We stayed in the ER and a few of the nurses recognized us. We had a little
coffee clutch and talked for a few hours as we waited for our ride. Two of
them saw every one of our movies and I said, "Tell us honestly what you
thought about them. What did you like and what did you hate?" They remembered
more about the movies than we did and we were in shock. One woman said, "I
saw it four times, so I kind of cheated." They all wanted to see Debbie do
Meg, so we both got into characters and did one of the scenes for them. Then
we adlibbed some really funny stuff and they were dying. Debbie said to me,
"Meg wants to fuck the doctor and the nice nurses here. Cat, you promised
me." I said, "Cat loves Meg and we'll ask them for you." We both did the fist
and the nurses were cracking up at the table. I said, "Half of our movies are
adlibbed and we spent more time laughing than actually filming. Did you see
`Three!' yet?" One of them said, "What's that?" Debbie said, "The funniest
one we have done so far. It was released last week." The nurse said, "Then we
won't get it here for about two more weeks."

We got our ride in the back seat of a Hummer by two National Guardsmen and we
couldn't believe it. Debbie lit us cigarettes and we were talking to the
young guys. One was madly in love with Caryn and was asking us questions
about her the whole ride. Debbie was cracking up.

We finally got to Boston and they helped us out of the Hum-V and into wheel
chairs, and then carried our bags for us as to the flight. Having a wheel
chair really sucks to go anywhere. We were getting so frustrated trying to
wheel ourselves down the isle in the airplane. We stopped and just started to
laugh. I said, "Hey, you look like a big strong guy. How about pushing us
about ten feet farther? We give up."

Two guys pushed us to our seats and then helped us to get up and sit in them.
He said, "Surgery?" I said, "I wish. It's called running barefoot through
sharp wood chips to get into a car to out run an avalanche." He said, "The
one in Maine this morning?" Debbie said, "You got it. It went right over our
cottage that we were vacationing in." The stewardess recognized us and said,
"Oh my God. You're all over the news. How are you?" I said, "We'd be a lot
better with a few double Gin and Tonics." We thank the guys and then got half
tanked before the plane even took off. Our feet felt great now. The
stewardess was talking to us and said, "I saw your new movie `Three!' last
night and it was so funny. How can you go from making comedies to serious
ones? Simple Meg was out there and great, but it was like two completely
different people than what we saw in the other movie." I said, "The funny
one's are just us naturally. The serious ones, we get into the characters and
act."

The guys helped us off the plane in Nashville and were totally star struck
when Caryn and Lee-Ann hugged us in our wheel chairs. One said, "You're Lee-
Ann and this then must be your mom, Kate? Oh my God." We thanked them as the
kids were cracking up and wheeling us through the airport. We got our bags
and put them on our laps as the kids pushed us.

Getting into the Rolls was a challenge, but we did it. Lee-Ann said, "You are
all over the news. I taped the news program for you to see when we get home.
You were so lucky."

When we got home, we both were wheeled into to den and sat on the couch, and
then watched the tape with Lee-Ann and Caryn. Debbie and I were in shock when
we saw how close we came to being killed. Some amateur photographer
videotaped the avalanche and it showed it blowing our cottage and two others,
to bits as it covered the valley by the lake. The news report when on to
mention us and showed our pictures taken at the hospital and then the
reporter said, "So far the search and rescue teams have not found any
survivors. The dogs are now being used to help recover the bodies. So far the
remains of 12 people have been found, and their identities are being withheld
pending notification of the families." This was definitely a wake up call for
Debbie and me.

We asked Brandy and the others to help us up the stairs and this was a total
comedy. We ended up using a belt to tie pillows under each of our feet and
walked upstairs ourselves. The kids were hysterically laughing and so were
Brandy and Barb.

Rheeta brought us dinner and drinks in bed and it was very nice. After Debbie
and I ate we lay in bed having a cigarette and I said, "What would have
happened to our kids if we died today? To our legacy? To the secrets we have
between us?" Debbie said, "I was thinking the same thing."

We lay in bed and talked about what we should do and what we should tell the
kids. I said, "Debbie, I have never yelled at you once ever and this will be
a first. I want to tell them the truth! It's been eating at me for 20 years.
No one else ever has to know, but I want them to know!" She said, "Damn it
Kate! Why? What good will it do? None!" I said, "I want them to know us for
what we really are. We are their flesh and blood. They have a right to know.
How would you feel if someone found out the truth after we were dead, and
told them about it. They would be cursing us out for eternity for lying to
them." She looked me in the eyes and said, "You're right. Lets do it tomorrow
morning."

We made love like total lunatics and we so into just being alive. I said, "I
want to be doing this with you when we're 97 years old and our tits are
dropping down to our pussies." Debbie was cracking up and said, "We are so
fucked up."

We sleep cuddled against each other tight and woke up four times to just kiss
and hold each other. Rheeta woke us up at 8 with a breakfast tray and we eat
it and had some coffee with a cigarette. I took a deep drag and blew out the
smoke into the air as Lee-Ann came into the room with Caryn and she said,
"How're your feet feeling today?" I said, "Better. Have a seat for a while
with us."

They moved our trays and I said, "Shut the door Caryn." She shut it and I
said, "Debbie and I did some soul searching last night and realized that we
need to tell you both something. This is very hard for us, so just bare with
us on it."

We both took a drag of our cigarettes and I said, "We lied to you about what
happened to us when we were kids. Actually, we lied to everyone, including
ourselves. We realized that if we had died yesterday and someday someone
found out the truth, it would hurt you both very much if you hadn't heard it
from us first."

They were both kind of scared and Debbie said, "You are both our children. It
has nothing to do with that. It has to do with Kate and me." I said, "You
both have to promise us that you will never talk about this to anyone. Ever.
Even after we are long dead a buried. Can you make that promise?" Lee-Ann
said, "Yeah mom. How bad is this?" I said, "It's real bad and very ugly."

I said, "My parents, your grand parents, were not architects. They owned one
of the largest pornography companies in the United States. About half of it
was legitimate. I had a sister and a brother. My sister was one year older
than me, and her name was Kelly. My bother was 8 years older than me and I
never really knew him. He disappeared when I was 8, and my mom told us he
left home. Kelly and I knew that she was lying, as all of his stuff was still
in his room. The next day Kelly and I saw my mom bagging it up for the
garbage man to take. Kelly and I were very close and we were each other's
best friend."

I took a drag of my cigarette and continued, "When I was 8 and Kelly was 9, I
heard her screaming like she was being killed by my parents. We use to get
beaten pretty bad all of the time, so it wasn't unusual, but this time it was
different. The screaming didn't stop for over 2 hours. Then Kelly came into
my room naked and cuddled with me in bed and was shaking as she cried. I
cried with her until we both feel sleep. The next morning was Saturday and my
parents dragged Kelly out of my bed and said to me, say a word, and you'll
end up like Luke, who was my brother. I lay in bed for about 2 hours and then
Kelly came back into see me. She wasn't crying or anything and she said to
me, Kate I just learned how to fuck both boys and girls, and it's kind of
fun. It feels great. It hurt so bad the first time last night."

I took a drag of my cigarette and blew the smoke out of my nose as I
continued, "Kelly moved into my room and we slept together and our parent's
encouraged it. Over the next few months, Kelly showed me everything. She
broke my cheery with one of my mom's dildos and we fucked each other almost
every night in bed. She showed me how to eat pussy, smoke dope, smoke
cigarettes, and drink beer. I remember how cool I thought I was when Kelly
and I licked each other's pussy's and then lit up two cigarettes. I got to
watch her with a few guys and a girl, having totally outrageous sex, as
someone was filming it. Kelly loved it and kissed me with mouthful of cum
when she was done sucking one of men off. Then the beatings started again."

I sucked in on my cigarette and French inhaled as I continued, "My parent's
got so much worse. They were beating us senseless monthly, for no reason at
all. They burned Kelly's feet one night and cut mine with a razor. They are
totally crazy. When I turned nine years old, my mother and father beat the
shit out me until I was so out of it I couldn't scream anymore and they had
me fuck four guys and a woman as someone filmed it. My parents ran a child
pornography ring and I was one the stars in it. Kelly was so into it with me
and we loved the sex. I was totally addicted to it. I was a 9 year old slut
who smoked, did dope, and was almost an alcoholic. Our parents had us fuck in
front of the camera 3 days a week, and then we could both play our music. We
both loved to play piano and guitar. We also had sex every night in bed and
sometimes even had a few boys over the fuck us at night."

I took a drag of the cigarette as Lee-Ann was stroking my hair and I
continued, "When I was eleven, I had fucked and sucked some where over 600
men, boys, girls, and women. I was actually addicted to it and loved it. But
my parents still beat me and Kelly horribly, at least once a month just for
kicks. When I was 12, and Kelly was 13, we tried to kill my parents. We just
weren't strong enough. My dad got 7 stitches on his head and we were beaten
into unconsciousness. We tried it again a year and a half later and this time
it was a bloody fight. I stopped when my dad slugged Kelly in the face and
then picked her up and threw her through the second story window onto the
back patio. Lee-Ann, Kelly died."

The tears started running down my face and I took a drag of my cigarette as
Debbie was holding me. I continued, "The police were on the take from my
parents and Kelly's death was ruled an accident. I hated them and tried to
kill them again with poison after the funeral. I just didn't use enough.
Then they had several of my friends get into the act with me. I was so
addicted to sex I was like a heroine addict. When I was 14, the State Police
of Georgia were investigating my parent's business and my parents closed it
and moved it to New York. That's when they bought the place in New Jersey.
When we moved in, I thought, just maybe, the sex would stop and I would be a
normal kid again. I loved music and that was the only thing they let me do,
other than suck cock, pussy and get hammered in the cunt and ass. Within a
week I met Barb and Ginny and we became great friends. It took my parents a
few months to get their business set up again and I was almost normal. Barb,
Ginny, and I had sex together, but it was because we wanted too. I showed
them how to get laid by guys and we were having a blast."

I took a final drag of my cigarette and put it out as I continued, "Then the
assholes started on me again. They got Barb and Ginny to participate by
making it into a game at first and they fell for it. Within a month we were
all getting fucked almost every other day on film. My dad made me suck him
off at night and my mom made we swallow it and then thank him. I actually
loved the taste, and still do, but they were total monsters. They threatened
Barb and Ginny with going to their parents and the school with the tapes if
they didn't keep going, so we did. The three of us had totally out of control
sex until we were 16. We all were so addicted to it, but hated my parents and
use to pray they would die in their sleep everyday."

I wiped my eyes as Lee-Ann was crying now and I continued, "We decided we
couldn't take it any longer and had to make it stop. My parents beat me so
bad one night I almost died and they just laughed about it. I planned it with
Barb and Ginny, and did it one day after school as my parents were having a
private fuck session with a cop that was on the take. My Dad was filming it
and we had some fun first in my room, and then we all snuck into their room,
as I held a hammer and I beat the shit of my dad until he wasn't moving. Barb
hit the cop on the head with a metal bar and I beat my mother to death the
same way I did my dad. We were walking out of the room to get washed off when
the cop woke up and came running out after us with the hammer. Ginny bit the
cop's hand and he dropped the hammer. I picked it up and want berserk on him.
The three of us stood in the hallway in total shock at what we had just done.
I ran into my parent's room and put away the camera stuff and then puked my
brains out in the bathroom."

I lit another cigarette and took a drag as Lee-Ann was in shock and I said,
"I really want you to hear all of this. Stay with me honey." She nodded and
held my hand as I continued, "Barb and Ginny were in total shock and didn't
remember any of it. I took advantage of that and told them that the cop had
killed my mom and dad and that when he ran out here I hit him on the head.
They couldn't even talk and had a glazed over look on their faces as I called
911."

I took a drag of my cigarette and continued, "I went totally blank once the
police got there, and I honestly couldn't remember doing any of this. All I
remembered was the fake story I made up for Barb and Ginny. They took a plea
deal on the drug charges like I told you before and I went to jail where I
met Debbie. After about three weeks I started to remember all of it, the way
it really happened. I didn't mean to lie to Debbie, but I did until I
remembered the truth. I told her my truth as ugly as it was."

Debbie said, "And then I told her my truth. I did lie to Kate when we first
met. Caryn, your grand mother was almost as bad a monster as Kate's parents.
I was being pimped out to top bands signed to a record label with one of my
friends starting when I was 12 as a pert for their hit records. My mom was
the one doing it. I wasn't all her fault, as we begged her to do it so we
could sleep with the hot bands as I was a sex addict also. I fucked almost
every boy in the middle school and half of the girls. When I was 16, I got
fucked over, abused, and raped 3 times by the lead guitar player of one of
the biggest bands. No one would believe me and I swore I would get even. I
had a friend buy me a gun, and then I followed the son of a bitch for two
days until he was alone. I went into a liquor store, pointed the gun at his
forehead, and watched him piss in his pants as I pulled the trigger three
times. I made up a story and no one believed me, and I got sent to jail."

I blew out the smoke through my nose and said, "Debbie and I told each other
the ugly truths about ourselves and we cried together for hours. The attorney
I used was the same one my parent's used for their business and he was a very
good lawyer, but as crooked as it gets. Debbie and I came up with a plan and
I told the attorney on one of his visits that I would play him 10 million
dollars out of my inheritance, if he pulled it off. My parents had a home
security system, but never used it. I had him film a recreation of the crime
using actors and a crappy fuzzy home security system making it fit my version
of what happened. He did it, and then I had him do the same thing for Debbie.
The police were such idiots and they never even checked the tapes at the
liquor store. He just substituted one with a different face on it."

I took a drag of my cigarette and said, "After the first meeting with our
Lawyer, he told me to play my part. Be in character all the time, and never,
ever, tell anyone what really happened, as he would end up going to jail. We
played the part perfectly and even went to see the tapes at his office.
Debbie and I got so caught up in it we even believed it for a long time. The
truths started coming back after a while and that's when we both went to see
a shrink. He helped us accept it and told us it wasn't our fault, but we know
it was. We planned it and then did it. Both of us."

Debbie had a tear in her eyes and said, "We almost forgot about this and then
we filmed Punish the Innocent. Kate snapped and went into the same rage she
was in at the house that day, when she pretended to kill someone on film. We
talked about it again for hours and both of us remembered every detail of
everything from when we were kids."

I said, "Barb and Ginny never did remember what happened. They wanted to go
to a shrink to find out and I convinced them not too. I told them it was over
and just forget about it. Margi had a full nervous breakdown when Debbie went
to jail and that's why Debbie's dad left and why he won't see any of us.
Margi told him what she had been doing. When she came to get us when we were
released from jail, the there of us had a long talk about it in the car on
the ay home, and she was sorry and Debbie forgave her. She has done
everything she could to help us since that time and we both love her very
much, and have never mentioned it to her again. The only other two people
that know this story are your fathers. We told them the truth before we had
them be your fathers and they really flipped out for a while. Then they
understood why it happened and helped us through a lot of troubling times we
had and still do sometimes. I still wake up with nightmares over it, and so
does Debbie. Shit, we killed people. We committed the biggest sin of all."

Lee-Ann hugged me, and hugged me, and was crying on my shoulder as Caryn was
doing the same thing to Debbie. Lee-Ann said, "Mom, I love you and don't you
ever forget it. I hurt's me so much to hear what you went through as a kid. I
can't believe you put up with it that long." I said, "I ran away three times,
and each time the police just brought me back home. There was only one option
left. Thank God we both had music as a way to escape the torture we went
through."

The kids lay in bed with us and cuddled. Lee-Ann said, "This is why you were
so afraid to make love to me the first time we did it with you, isn't it?" I
nodded and was getting tears in my eyes again. Lee-Ann wiped my eyes and gave
me a big wet kiss and was licking my tongue. Debbie and Caryn rolled over
almost on top of us and we all kissed each other for a while as we cuddled.

I know what we told them bothered them more that we were both abused, than
what we did about it. Lou-Ann said to me, "Mom, I would have done the same
thing as you, except I would have done it sooner. I don't have the patience
that you do. You're like a saint." I smiled and said, "Sainthood is
definitely not on the list of things we hoped to achieve in this lifetime."
Debbie was cracking up and said, "After that story? Lee-Ann, your mother and
I should have gotten a fucking Oscar for our performance that got us out of
jail. We fooled everyone and even had ourselves convinced for a couple of
years."

I said, "Remember about what I said about telling anyone. Promise?" They both
kissed us and hugged us and Caryn said, "We both promise." I said, "Then
there's a few other things we wanted to tell you. It's not bad though." They
were smiling and Debbie said, "Our wills are in the safe. We want to show you
all of it later today, so you know what to do if something should happen to
us. The avalanche was a close call and we just weren't ready. All we thought
about is what would you would have done if we didn't make it."

I said, "The scumbag lawyer we used called us just before we went to Maine
and told us he was retiring, and wanted to tell us something about our
childhood. Lee-Ann, he told me that I was a stolen child, and that my parents
were not really my parents. I was so furious with him I was tempted to relive
the crime with him as all three victims. He knew about it the whole fucking
time! I told our attorney friend that since I was worth billions and could
make his life a total living hell, he was to find my real parents. I gave him
one month, or I was going to expose what really happened when I was a kid. I
also told him that I would double check it with a DNA test, just in case he
decided to offer some elderly couple a free ride with me."


CHAPTER 35 - MY REAL MOM AND FOREVER PERFUME


The kids and Rheeta waited on us for everything for the next three days as
our feet healed   and they wanted to do it. The kids were so insulted when I
said, "Lee-Ann, just hire us a temp nurse for a few days to do this." They
ended up sleeping with us and were closer to us than ever before since we
told them the truth.

Harry and Victor called about our narrow escape and we talked for a long
time. We told then that we told the kids everything and Harry said, "I'm glad
you did. It will help them understand why you're so fucked up. Of course I
mean that in the nicest way." We laughed for hours with both of them on the
phone.

We got our stitches and staples out of our feet and were back to normal by
the end of the week just in time for the Christmas show that was being taped
at our house again. Lee-Ann and Caryn played a new song for all of us to hear
for the first time on the show. It was called, "All I want for Christmas is
Mom."

Lee-Ann and Caryn did something that really moved Debbie and me so much at
the end of the show. They made a very large donation to an abused children's
fund, the same one we give to every year. Lee-Ann said, "This year, we are
matching our parent's donation, dollar for dollar to the fund for abused
children. Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks for watching our holiday
special." Debbie and I hugged them and then we got emotional and put our
fists over our hearts. When the camera went off Lee-Ann hugged me and cried
on my shoulder again. I whispered to her, "Now you understand what makes us
tick." She lifted up her head and said, "You really are a Saint mom. God
would welcome you into heaven any day of the week." That's when I lost it and
cried like a little kid on her shoulder.

The gag Christmas gifts were better this year than usual. Brandy bought
Debbie and me two very large metal barrels with lids that we can sleep inside
during an avalanche. Trisha bought us slippers that were nine inches thick
with pillows on the bottom. We actually liked them and wore than around the
house as everyone cracked up. My favorite gag gift was the football helmet
Laura bought me for the next golf movie we film. Debbie hit me by accident
with a putter and I was black and blue for two weeks. It was in the film too
and funny as hell. The real gifts were very nice, but we all try to out do
each other with the gags.

Harry and Victor left us a stack of 11 scripts to read before they left. I
said, "Why so many?" Harry said, "Every major writer wants you to do their
scripts now." We read over 200 this month and these are the best. We just
couldn't decide which one we liked better. Some of these are terrific
stories. There's one tear jerker in there too, that's a very clever murder
mystery."

All of us read that one first and we were crying our eyes out in the last
scene. We rated each one as we read it and narrowed it down to three.  We all
decided on the western murder mystery tearjerker that was set in the 1840's.
I said, "I want to play the total bitch that rides the herd of cattle, after
her husband dies." Debbie said, "Kate, are you serious?" I said, "I need a
good one to compete with you for the Oscar you're going to win for Simple
Meg." She was cracking up and said, "I see your point. This could be kind of
cool doing all of those scenes on horses."

We were all sitting around the house and rehearsing our parts in the scripts
when the phone rang. I answered it and it was the scumbag lawyer. I said, "Do
you have my answer?" He said, I have your answer and you're going to be very
surprised. Your real mother has been living with you in your house since you
were in your twenties. The DNA checks out. It's Gretchen Macfarley. I haven't
told her. I'll send you the DNA test results to your email address. We kind
of had someone break into your place and steel her tooth brush and get hair
from her hair brush for this test." I was in total shock and Debbie said,
"Honey, what's wrong?"

I hung up the phone, lit a cigarette and sat down with Debbie. I said,
"Gretchen is my real mother. How weird is this? The scumbag is sending me the
DNA results on my email. Lets go print it out." I took drag of my cigarette
as Debbie and I walked into the study and she printed out my email. We read
it and I said, "That is definitely my DNA because I had it analyzed so the
asshole couldn't con me and it's definitely a match." I leaned back in the
chair and Debbie said, "You want to tell her by yourself, or you want me with
you?" I hugged Debbie and I said, "I want you with me and I want you and me
to tell her the truth about our fucked up childhood."

Gretchen and Brenda were in the kitchen and Debbie and I walked in. I said,
"Can the four of us sit in private for a while? I need to tell you something
that I just found out about." Debbie brought in a bottle of Gin, Tonic, and a
bucket of ice and made us all a drink in the study, as we sat on the couches.
I said, "Mom." Gretchen smiled and I said, "You really are my mom." She
looked at me funny and I handed her the DNA print out and she said, "What's
this stuff?" I said, "I found out one month ago that I was an abducted child
and I had an attorney do a search for my real parents. They tested your DNA
and mine, and it's a match. Mom, you really are my mom." Gretchen was in
total shock and then hugged me and hugged me. I said, "What was my name?" She
said, "You won't believe this, but it was Kate and your birthday matches up
also. Why didn't I see this before?"

She was crying as she told me how I was taken from her at a shopping mall,
and then she said, "So tell me about your childhood. You never talk about
it." I said, "Only under one condition. I need you and Brenda to swear that
neither of you will ever repeat this to anyone. Both kids know the truth
about Debbie and me and so does Harry and Victor. None of them know about you
yet."

Debbie and I lit cigarettes and took a sip of our drinks and I said, "Some of
this may totally gross you out. Stay with us on it. It's very ugly." I told
the whole truth and so did Debbie as my mom was crying and hugging me. After
I finished, she said, "If they were still alive, I would kill those assholes.
Oh Kate, I am so sorry for what happened to you. If only I had held you
tighter or something." I said, "The first time I went to their graves, Debbie
and I were still believing the made up stuff. We were so totally crazy when
we made our first CD. Any shrink would have had us committed.  I actually
forgave the assholes at the gravesite. Then after a few years of seeing the
shrink, I made one more visit with Debbie. We pulled down our pants and we
both shit and pissed on their graves. Then I spit on them too. God, do I
still hate them."

We talked for about 3 hours and had a few drinks. Then I called Lee-Ann into
the study and said, "We found my real mom. She's sitting right here. Lee-Ann,
it's Gretchen and she's your grandmother. Guess I don't have to kill the
scumbag lawyer after all." Gretchen was hugging Lee-Ann and Lee-Ann said,
"Grandma, I loved you like you were my real grandmother anyway. How cool is
this? Hey Caryn, get your ass in here and meet my grandmother!" Caryn came
into the room and said, "Gretchen?" I nodded and they were all laughing about
it.

I put my arm over my mom's shoulder and said, "Mom, how'd you like a part in
a movie as my mom. It's a small part, but may be fun." Brenda was smiling and
said, "Gretch, do it. It'll be fun and then we'll spent some time together
where ever they shoot it." I said, "The Shoot is in Oklahoma on a cattle
ranch." She said yes and then hugged me and was smiling. I said, "I never
believed in destiny, but this is so weird how this turned out. From the first
time we met, I had a funny feeling about you. I can't explain it." My mom
said, "Kate, I had the same feeling about you. Weird is not the word for it.
Miracle is a better word." Caryn wrote that down on a paper napkin and Debbie
was laughing and said, "Here comes another hit song. Hey Caryn, we'll help
you write it."

After dinner, Debbie and I sat with Lee-Ann and Caryn and wrote a song
called, "It was a miracle." I was the subject of the last verse as to how I
found out my mom was living with me all along, and I cried as Debbie wrote
the words. The kids sang it and Debbie grinned and said, "Hit tune. It also
fits the new movie."

Lee-Ann put her arm over my shoulder and said, "Mom, it's time for us to go
to bed together and you can to tell us bedtime stories about all of the fun
sex you had as a kid." Debbie was cracking up and said, "We do that to each
other all the time and it is so fucking hot."

We went up to our bedroom and I said, "Lee-Ann, Debbie and I act these out
all the time. It started with shrinks telling us to do it, to help remember.
Now we do it just to get turned on. How about if you pretend to be my sister,
Kelly, when I was 11 years old. Everyone was laughing about it as we got
undressed and lay on the bed. I started it by saying, "Kelly, I got so hot
watching you with Brandon and Beth this morning. How about we get high and
you tell me all about it?" I opened the nightstand on my side of the bed and
took out a machine rolled joint and lit it. I took two deep drags and held in
the smoke and then passed it to Lee-Ann. She was smiling and toked on it and
then passed it to Caryn.

Lee-Ann made up the hottest story we ever heard about doing it with Brandon
and Beth as we all got so stoned on 3 joints. Then she said, "Kate, it's time
your big sister shows you how to eat pussy, like only a big sister can. Watch
my tongue go in and out of your hole baby. Watch it lick you and taste your
juices." Lee-Ann ate me out and we all were so wet. Debbie was kissing me and
so was Caryn as Lee-Ann made me cum 5 times in just a few minutes.

The four of us played bedtime stories for almost 6 hours, as we each did a
few. We must have smoked 10 joints and I was so stoned I was dizzy. The four
of us couldn't stop giggling when Debbie and Caryn did the last one about
fucking a heavy metal rock band. Lee-Ann and I played the guys and fucked
them with Spike and Gizmo, and two vibrators.  We lay in bed laughing, having
a cigarette, and then feel sound asleep.

The next morning, I officially announced to everyone about Gretchen and she
was as happy as can be. Then the phone rang and I got a very disturbing phone
call. It was the doctor's office and they wanted to see me and Debbie today.
When we got our stitches out, we had them do our complete yearly physical,
which we do every year at the same time. Debbie said, "He never wants to talk
to us. It's always - see you next year. Nothing major is wrong, and then he
tells us what he found. Honey, we must be really sick."

We were panicking and we told everyone that the doctor wants to see us. They
panicked too. By noon, we had ourselves convinced we had to have cancer or
AIDS. Caryn and Lee-Ann were a nervous wreck and wanted to go with us and I
said, "The nurse asked us to come see the doctor alone. I promise we'll call
you as soon as we're done from my new cell phone."

Debbie and drove the five miles to the doctor's office and the nurse said,
"Hi Kate, hi Debbie. The doctor wants to talk to you in his office. It's the
last door at the end of the hallway. He's in there now." We walked in and he
was eating a sandwich and said, "Hi, have a seat." We were so nervous. I
said, "How bad is it?" And then Debbie said, "Is it contagious?" He said,
"What are you talking about?"

I said, "They way the nurse called us about the appointment today, we thought
we both must have cancer or AIDS or something." He smiled, got up and shut
the door, and said, "Kate, that fucking nurse is about to get fired. I told
her this was not an emergency and that we could even meet next week if you
wanted too. You are both fine. As matter of fact, your too fine, which is why
I wanted to see you to understand what happened." We were so puzzled and
relieved as he said, "Lets sit at the conference table and I'll explain what
we found. You want a sandwich? I have two tuna fish ones left?" Debbie said,
"Yeah. We'd love it. Our stomachs have been in knots since we go the call
this morning." He was shaking his head and handed us two sandwiches from the
refrigerator in his office.

We sat at the conference table and he said, "These are all of your files,
dating back from when you were 18. Each time we did a physical, the nurse
took a picture of your face, hands, feet, stomach and neck, to use as a
comparison each year mostly for cosmetic purposes to show aging and for us to
see if we can help with anything for people like yourselves that are in the
public's eye all the time. These are your pictures from last year."

We looked at them and I said, "Not very flattering." He smiled and said,
"These are the ones we took last week." He put them next to the ones from
last year and Debbie and I had our mouths hanging open as he said, "The
wrinkles in your face are completely gone, and your hands look like they are
10 years younger, maybe more. Now look at the ones they match most closely
too." He opened and file from both of us and said, "This was taken when you
were 33 years old. That's 12 years ago." He put the pictures next to the ones
in the folder and said, "Something has made this happen to your skin, and
there is more also. Debbie, you had a polyp in your right leg and its now
gone. Did you have it removed?" She looked at me and said, "No. You said to
wait until this year."

He showed us our blood tests, chemistry, blood pressure, chest x-rays and
then said, "You are very healthy 33 year old women. Even your breasts are
more upright. Now we need to figure out what caused this."

I said, "We have much more energy too. Debbie and I haven't felt this good in
years. You should know about something else too. We were having the roots of
our gray hair dyed each month when we get the tips of our haircut. About nine
months ago, the beautician stopped dying our hair, as she said it didn't need
it. The hair on both of us is completely natural now."

We all ate some of our sandwiches and he said, "Try to think about what you
did different, ate, wore, put on, washed with, anything, between the last
time you were here a year ago, and nines months ago. Whatever it is, it's a
miracle. Has this happened to Brandy, Trisha, or any of the others?" I said,
"We haven't noticed, and none of them noticed any change on us either. Maybe
it's so gradual we wouldn't see it. How about having them all come in and
check their records against a new photo. You've got us excited now." He said,
"Call them. Lets see what we find."

I called the house and Lee-Ann said, "Mom, how bad is it?" I said, "We're
totally fine. Put me on the speaker and get everyone in the room." The doctor
put this phone on speaker and Lee-Ann said, "We're all here." I said, "Ya'll
have to keep this quite for now until we know what's causing it. Remember the
film we did about the cure for aging? We'll Debbie and I are now 33 years old
again and we have no idea why. Jack will tell ya'll about it." The doctor got
on and said, "Hi guys. Kate's right." He explained what he found and them
said, "How about we do a picture comparison of all of you today so we can
narrow it down to what may be causing it." They were cheering and the doctor
was cracking up. I said, "We'll wait here for you."

We hung up and he said, "Maybe you really are music Gods. You have any
distant memories of Mount Olympus?" We were smiling as he was cracking jokes
as usual. He had to make a few phone calls so Debbie and I went for a walk
and had a cigarette as we waited for the troops to show up. Debbie and I were
holding hands as we walked down to a small stream past the parking lot. I
took a drag of my cigarette and blew out the smoke into the wind saying, "How
fucking weird is this?" She said, "Honey, nothing would surprise me about
us." It was chilly outside and we buttoned up our blue jean jackets as Debbie
took a drag from her cigarette and said, "The only thing we did differently
that I can remember is we had special perfume and soaps made for us last
Christmas that we use every day. Remember, we had a different fragrance made
for Brandy and Trisha." I said, "Yeah, from the perfume factory in Bermuda.
We still have two cases of it at home. That stuff lasts forever."

I sucked in on my cigarette as we watched the caravan of cars pull into the
parking lot. Everyone was there and we were cracking up. We all went back
inside and Jack came out of his office and was cracking up. He said, "Lee-
Ann, you worried about being older too?" She was blushing and he said, "Lets
do pictures for everyone. If nothing else, it will narrow it down." He had
two nurses take the pictures of everyone and it took about two hours. He
said, "How about I come to your place with the results after I close up in an
hour."

We went home and waited in the den as we talked about it and looked at
everyone. Brandy told us she definitely noticed the change in us, so did
Trisha and Gretchen. We could see a very slight change in Brandy and Trisha.
I said, "Lee-Ann, you and Caryn didn't age at all this year. Granted you're
still young, but we can't see any difference at all. Tess, on the other hand,
matured quite a bit." Lee-Ann whispered into my ear, "If I can go back to
being 13, we can really have some fun with our bedtime stories." I was
cracking up and blushing.

The doctor came over and he had two boxes of files with him. We helped him
carry it inside and we went into the formal dining room and sat down. He
said, "We found some very interesting things. Everyone appeared to get older,
except for Debbie, Kate, Brandy, Trisha, Lee-Ann, and Caryn. These are all of
the pictures so you can see them." He showed us one person at a time, and
notated exactly what would be normal for their age on the pictures. Then he
showed everyone our pictures and health records. Gretchen said, "I thought
you looked younger, but I thought it was your hair or something."

He went into detail about Brandy and Trisha and said, "Brandy, you look about
three years younger based on the photos, and Trisha you are about 2 years
younger. Lee-Ann, you and Caryn did not age at all which is very strange at
your age since you are still maturing. Now, how do we solve this puzzle?"

We sat in the chairs again and I lit a cigarette and said, "I think Debbie
and I know the answer. Before we talk about it I want everyone in here to
promise to not tell anyone about it. Ever! If we're right, we will keep this
our secret and use it ourselves, and maybe share it with a few people as we
decide too. Can you imagine mass murders living forever? Or what would happen
to the world with over population? Jack, you and your family will be one of
us, if you want to be. Does everyone promise to keep it quite?" Debbie asked
everyone, one person at a time and everyone agreed. Jack said, "I definitely
agree 100 percent. Now what is it?"

Debbie said, "Last year, Kate and I went to Bermuda and toured a perfume
factory. We met the president of the company and asked if he could make us
our very own special fragrance of soaps, body wash, and perfumes. We also had
him do one for Brandy and Trisha that we gave them for Christmas last year.
These were all one-offs for us that they designed, grew the hybrid flowers,
and formulated. Lee-Ann, how often do you use our perfumes and bath soaps?"
She said, "About once a week." Brandy said, "I use them about once a week
also." Trisha said, "Same here." I said, "Debbie and I use them every day.
The question is, is it the soap, or the perfume?" Jack said, "Lets try a
little experiment. Gretchen, you and Brenda use the soaps everyday for two
weeks. Margi, you and Carrie use the perfume everyday for two weeks and then
we'll do the pictures again."

I said, "Those perfumes and soaps were very expensive and Debbie and I own
the patents on them. We have all of the formulations and everything is in our
safe. We were thinking about opening up our own line of cosmetics with it,
and the movie business just put it on hold for a while. We still have two
huge cases of the stuff in the closet in our bathroom."

Everyone was so excited about this and Jack was like a little kid. Margi
said, "This calls for a toast." We all made drinks or poured beer and Margi
held up her glass and said, "This is to the continuation of Kate and Debbie's
incredible dumb luck." We all smiled and drank. Debbie and I chugged a beer
and crushed the cans as everyone was cracking up at us.

We had Rheeta make dinner for everyone and Debbie and I called Harry and
Victor. I said, "You have to swear you will never breath a word of this to
anyone! You promise?" Harry said, "How bad is it?" I said, "Promise first and
then we'll tell you." They both promised like when we shared our childhood
secrets and we told them. Harry said, "We thought you both had a face lift.
You mean that's all natural?" I said, "If you don't mind smelling like our
perfume, you two are going to live to be very old men." They are laughing
hysterically and busting each other's chops about getting laid at parties
again.

We told them what we were doing now with the tests and Debbie said, "Lets
hold off on the filming for the next movie until we know the answers. We'll
call as soon as we know anything."

The next two weeks were like lunacy at the house. We had Margie and Carrie
move in with us for the tests and everyone examined their faces each day
along with Gretchen and Carrie. We also had a separate test of Mary and Beth
using the soap and perfume. Each day everyone saw   a slight difference in
our test subjects. I called them Ginny Pigs and Debbie called them Lab Rats.
Lee-Ann and Caryn wrote a funny song called "Lab Rats always get sick."

Debbie and I flew to Bermuda and made sure everything was in order so we
could produce the perfumes and soaps, and the president said to me, "We were
expecting you sooner. We have so many of your hybrid flowers we don't know
what to do with them." We had them all packed and shipped to a nursery to be
grown for us. We also contracted a company to use our formulation to make the
product for us exclusively on a limited basis, for an outrageous amount of
money on an annual basis. When we signed the contract I said, "This money is
not only for the product, it's also for your secrecy. No one should ever know
about this and no other product can be based on any of ingredients or the
flowers. Period! Any problem with those terms?" They took my check for 2
million dollars and were smiling at us and one guy said, "No problem at all."

At the end of the two weeks, Jack did the pictures again and we matched them
in the folders. Margi and Carrie looked about 5 years younger from the soap.
Gretchen and Brenda also seemed to be about 5 years younger. Mary and Beth
definitely looked 10 years younger.

We got our first annual batch of the products from the company we contracted
and we did a test of them with Harry and Victor to make sure they made them
right. Harry was as happy as I have ever seen him when he looked in the
mirror after taking a three hour bath with the soap and perfume. He fucked
the shit of me for 3 hours and Debbie was laughing her ass off as she was
kissing me and waiting for Victor to get out of the tub.

We distributed 6 months worth of the products to a list of people we all
agreed to bring in on this. We were very surprised that a few people didn't
want it. Frank and Ginny wanted to grow old together and refused it, so did
most of Jerry's old band and their wives. Everyone else was as excited as it
gets. We made each person sign a contract that if they tell anyone about it
without our permission, they can never get any of it again. We were dead
serious about it too.

All of the kids were using it to stay looking young. Lee-Ann keeps telling me
she's 13 again and then slips her tongue into my mouth. Debbie can't stop
laughing about it.


CHAPTER 36 - GETTING YOUNGER


We all got back into the swing of things. The kids started the tour again and
surprisingly, The Crooked road was back in the studio and so was Georgia
Passion recording tunes written by Lee-Ann, Caryn, Mary and Beth.  Gretchen
and Brenda had so much energy it was amazing watching them as they organized
a reunion tour for both groups as a series of mini-tours.

Margi and Carrie were a total blast to be around and we gave them parts in
our new film. Debbie said to me, "I can't believe what a difference it has
made so far. Kate, my mom looks younger now than she did when we got out of
jail."

We learned our lines for the western murder mystery and we rented an entire
motel in Oklahoma near the shoot location. Gretchen played my mom and we were
so much alike. She was as totally crazy as Debbie and I are. We all laughed
for over 2 hours as Harry had to have someone put makeup on my mom to make
her look older for the movie.

Margi played the head madam in the saloon and was such a good actress. We
couldn't believe it. Carrie was her number one slut for hire, and the two of
them had the time of their lives when we filmed the scenes. Since Debbie and
I are so well known, people were actually starting to notice that we looked
different. Debbie always would say, "Thanks. We knew the Oklahoma air and the
change to our hair would make us look younger." Harry just laughed about it,
as he definitely looked 15 years younger. All of his gray hair was light
brown again and Victor's was dark brown.

Debbie and I loved making this film. I took over a cattle drive after my
husband died in a gunfight and Debbie joins up with us from the town where my
husband died. She shot him in self-defense and I made her promise to help me
deliver the heard to slaughter.

The whole movie is about us driving the heard of cattle and the string of
murders that take place. We loved the horse back riding and all of us really
knew how to ride to begin with. It was a challenge learning how to rope
cattle but we learned it. Brandy was a pro at it and she told us she was
going to enter a rodeo after the film shoot.

Harry made a bunch of changes to the script after the first month of shooting
and we loved what he did. He had three love stories going on at the same time
as the main plot.

Debbie and I go into the saloon with Margi's working the girls, and Brandy
the owner of the place. Brandy has a bartender that she abuses and the guy
plays the part perfectly. Brandy orders him to satisfy both Debbie and me
together and that's when Debbie and I connect and it changes our relationship
working the heard.

The movie has a surprise ending with the murder plot and it turns out to be
Margi doing it. She kills the John's after Carrie screws them. The movie ends
with Debbie and me delivering the cattle and then we go into a saloon to get
drunk and plan to do it again, as I hire us a guy to fuck us for the night.

Gretchen and Brenda had about 2 days of shooting each, and they stayed on the
ranch with us for three weeks and had a blast riding horses every day.

We took off a few days and went to see the first reunion concert with Georgia
Passion and The Crooked Road. They were as good as ever and the material was
all top notch. Our kids played last in a three band concert and Lee-Ann said
to me, "This is so weird. No one can believe they're 46 years old. Mom, you
only look about 8 years older than me now. Pretty soon people will start
asking a lot of questions. We have to have a good answer." I said, "No we
don't. We live right, spend a fortune on plastic surgery, and eat organic
food. They'll buy it." She was laughing and said, "For the next 10 years they
will anyway. Why don't you guys play a show with us too after the film shoot
is over? You and Debbie look so fucking hot!" I said, "We can pretend to be
twins." She was cracking up and yelled, "Hey Caryn. They're back to being
total nuts again too."

After we wrapped up the film shoot and the editing, we decided to play
another concert with the kids. We felt great. Debbie and I wrote a hand full
of new tunes and Mary and Beth gave us 12 new songs. We learned them in four
days, and then went into the studio and recorded a new CD. Stella was
starring at us and we didn't say a word about it. Debbie said, "We're getting
bored, so we thought we'd do another CD and play a few gigs. We got the bug
again after we watched Darla and Tammy, and then Kathy and Danica play in a
concert." Stella softly mumbled, "Unfucking believable."

The pictures for the CD were interesting. All of us looked like we did about
15 years ago. Trisha said, "Except one thing. You and Debbie are so much more
sexy now than you ever were. My nipples get hard and I get wet when I look at
that CD cover."  The kids were with us and listened to our new CD and were
looking at the cover. Lee-Ann said, "Holy shit. They're back!"

We did a four band outdoor gig the day before our new movie was released,
where the kids played last and it was so mobbed it was unbelievable. Gretchen
was sitting in the front row with Brenda and they looked so great it was
unbelievable. I hugged her backstage and said, "Mom, you really could pass
for my sister. I'm so glad it turned out to be you." We hugged each other and
cried tears of joy on each other's shoulders for about 10 minutes.

All of our old band mates were there and they looked wonderful. Jim was a
total hunk again and Brandy was salivating. So was Barb.

When we went on stage, the emcee gave us a build up that was almost comical.
He covered the  Grammy's, CMAs, and Oscars. Debbie said to me on stage,
"Blah, blah, blah. What's he going to say 50 years for now?" I started to
laugh as we heard, "Stars of film and stage. Please welcome on our stage
Broken Hearts in Southland!" Val gave us the intro to the first tune and we
played better than we had in ages and we loved it.

We put in real scenes from our movies as short skits and the audience was
laughing and cheering. We already had a single in the charts that Stella
released and we did that one and the place was all standing up and cheering.
Debbie and looked at each other funny and shrugged our shoulders. We did a
few of the old tunes and the audience stood and cheered for each one. They
liked us more now, than before.

Debbie, Brandy, and I talked to the audience a lot more now and it was kind
of fun. We were so use to adlibbing everything in the movies this was easy.
Debbie did her top ten reasons to buy our new CD and I couldn't stop laughing
on stage. The audience was howling and cheering and then I kissed her and
said, "I love you so much." We both did the fists over the heart and we got a
standing ovation. Then we started the medley of the beer song, Love Sucks,
and Beaver Patch. We did Beaver Patch the perverted way and the place was so
into it.

We saw Harry and Victor in the audience sitting next to Margi and Carrie and
they were crying from laughing so hard. After that cheering stopped for that
song I said, "We have a new movie being released tomorrow and it's a really
cool flick set in Oklahoma in the 1800s. This is the title song from the film
that my daughter Lee-Ann and Debbie's daughter Caryn wrote for us. The film
and song are called, "Uncivilized Justice." Debbie started it with some
outrageous guitar licks and then we came in like a rock band and I blew the
blues harp. As soon as Brandy started to sing the melody, people were
starting to stand. When Trisha sang harmony and then Debbie and I came in
with the chorus, everyone was standing. Debbie looked at me and just smiled.
This song was so catchy.

We ended the song to another standing ovation and I said, "Thank you
everyone. We really enjoyed playing for you here tonight." We waved to the
audience as the cheering was getting louder and Lee-Ann gave me the nod.
Debbie and I took two had held mics and we walked to the front of the stage
and I said, "Our kids asked us to introduce their band tonight." Debbie said,
"So we decided to do it our way."

We told the funniest story about them when they were 7 years old. The place
was howling and Lee-Ann was screaming, "Your dead mom!" Then I said, "We love
to joke around, as I guess you can tell. All kidding aside, Shades of the
Cottonwood is by far the best band on the planet. Debbie and I are truly
honored to have our kids ask us to play in the show with them. We both know
that they will break every record we set, and probably set the bar so high,
no one will ever break it again." Debbie said, "Before we bore you to death
with our love for them, please welcome Shades of the Cottonwood."

Lee-Ann hugged me and said, "That was so nice Mom. Thanks, and you guys were
great!" Debbie and I smiled and walked off stage as we waved. The crowd was
cheering and the band started the first tune.

Debbie put her arm over my shoulder as we lit cigarettes and I said, "That
was fun!" Brandy and Trisha were all over us and yelling, "I loved it! I
loved it!" Laura, Daisy, and Lou-Ann were hugging us and Lou-Ann said, "This
was so much fun. Wow, did we sound good!" I said, "No more than once a month.
We all agree?"

We were all laughing about it and hugged each other again, and then popped
open cold beers.  There were press photographers backstage and they were
taking pictures of us with the other bands. Kathy put her arm over my
shoulder and said to the reporter, "We are all ready to rock again." We all
toasted with the beers and he took about ten pictures of me, Debbie, Brandy,
and Trisha posed looking really sexy. Then he said to us, "You four are so
sexy and drop dead gorgeous, I can't believe it. Thanks for the pictures."

We watched the kids play and they were incredible. Brandy said, "Lee-Ann and
Caryn could be younger sisters to you two now. This is spooky." The end of
their show was terrific and we were screaming for them from the side of the
stage. Lee-Ann smiled at us and was really enjoying it. They called all of us
on stage at the end and we waved to the audience with them and Lee-Ann hugged
me again.

When we got backstage Lee-Ann said, "Mom, that was the best concert ever. You
were outrageous and we played good too. The audience loved it. All of the
bands sounded so good." I said, "Lets get our pictures taken together. That
reporter has been asking since you went on. Debbie, get Caryn over here too."
The four of us poised for the photographers and the guys was drooling over
us. We loved it. Then he photographed Gretchen with me and Lee-Ann and I
said, "Daughter, mother, and grandmother." He just shook his head and then
did the same thing with Margi, Debbie and Caryn. Margi was really hot looking
now.

All of us signed autographs and then stayed at the outdoor concert and drank
beer and partied until about 2 in the morning as the crews were taking down
the stage. Harry and Victor were a total piss. They acted like they use to
and Debbie and I loved it. I said to Harry, "How about you and Victor do a
role in the next film with us?" They were both half bombed and Harry said,
"You are so much better actors than we ever were. We would stick out like a
sore thumb. Besides, we love to produce."

We finally went in the limos to the hotel the whole crew was staying at and
we had the entire top floor. We were so routy and obnoxious it was funny. Lee-
Ann said, "My God Mom, were you always like this?" Debbie said, "Honey, we
were worse. This is really mild."

Caryn and Lee-Ann slept with us and Debbie and I went wild on Spike with them
next to us in bed. We were all so hot and half trashed. At 4 in the morning
the four of us were singing Uncivilized Justice in bed and cracking up." Lee-
Ann rolled on top of me and said, "Mom, no wonder you were in bed from
exhaustion when you were my age. If I did this every night, I'd be dead."
Debbie was laughing and said, "Whimp." The four of us laughed and joked
around until 5 in the morning and then Debbie and I cuddled and passed out.

We didn't wake up until noon the next day and we all missed our flights. We
had the lounge upstairs catered for breakfast for everyone and Trisha was
screaming at a newspaper and then brought it over to us. It had ten full
pages of pictures of all of us in it from last night's show. The caption on
the first page was, "Sexier than ever and a sound that you won't believe."
The first picture was of Gretchen, me, and Lee-Ann, and the picture next to
ours was Margi, Debbie, and Caryn. We were all laughing as we looked at them.
The article started with, "Have you ever seen a grandmother that looks like
this? How about a mother that looks like this? They look like sisters, all of
them. How about a mother that can sing, shake, rock, and make ever guy over
13, along with some women, get excited? I forgot just how good Broken Hearts
in Southland really is. The entire show was amazing. From acting out funny
movie skits to music that was as good as it gets. Then the daughters
surpassed the moms on stage. This was the concert event of a lifetime, and I
will remember it forever."

I yelled, "Mom, get over here. You have to see this. Grab Margi too." They
were laughing their ass off as they read it and we ate breakfast. The
pictures of everyone were priceless. Debbie went to get two more papers to
have the pictures cut out and mounted for hanging. She came back with a
second newspaper than had even more stories and pictures of us in it.

The trip back home was interesting. We forgot just how much we use to get
asked for autographs being in the spotlight. Making movies it's somehow
different. People don't feel like they can approach you. In a band, they
swarm all over you. The swarms were back big time and we really liked it
again.

Debbie and I read one of the comedy scripts Harry gave us on the way home and
we didn't like it. I said to her, "Its really corny. This would have been so-
so slack stick in the 1930s. Lets see what the other 9 are like when we get
home."

When we got home, Brenda listened to her messages and was laughing as she
said, "How many TV shows do you want to be interviewed on? We have 12
requests." She read us the list and Debbie picked two. I listened to our
messages and Debbie was smiling as we heard one of them. She said, "Call
them." I dialed the number and said, "Hi. Is this Stacey?" "This is Kate
Rogers returning your call. Debbie and I would love to sign the plaque for
display in your house. Stop over anytime today. We're home." Gretchen said,
"What was that all about?" I said, "The woman that bought our house that we
filmed Simple Meg in, wants us to sign a plaque that will be displayed on the
front of the house. I think that's really neat."

Stacey showed up at the house in about 15 minutes and we signed the plaque
for her. She was so excited about it and said, "You two are amazing. Thank
you very much." Debbie was talking like Simple Meg and we had everyone
laughing at some of our jokes. Stacey was loosening up and we told her the
story about the property and garbage dump before we made the movie. She was
laughing her ass off and said, "You two really are human after all. Stop by
anything and join me for drink. What a great idea. Did the school give in?"
Lee-Ann said, "Yup. They still hate all of us."

Debbie and I took the afternoon and rode our horses. We stopped by the small
stream on our property and sat against a tree as we lit cigarettes. I took a
drag and blew out the smoke as Debbie was holding my hand and said, "Honey,
what's going to happen when we still look like this in 20 years, or 30
years?" I gave her a wet kiss and said, "I don't care. When the time comes
we'll announce that we are freaks and don't age like everyone else. There is
no way that I'm going to announce that we have a way to stop ageing. We have
plenty of time to work up a convincing story." She smiled and then took a
drag of her cigarette and said, "I really had a great time last night. I
forgot how much we like playing music on stage." I held her close and kissed
her cheek as I said, "I never forgot. Now we can enjoy it again together."

Debbie wrapped her arms around me and gave me a soft wet kiss and I
completely melted in her arms. She smiled afterward and said, "I feel it too.
We are so much alike it's scary." We finished our cigarettes as we talked
about how much we loved each other, and now it could be for a very long time.

After we put the horses back in the stables, Debbie and I had a very romantic
evening by ourselves in our bedroom. We had a candle light dinner and then
made love to candle light. I was so into it. We didn't stop until 2 in the
morning. The next morning we took a bubble bath and we joking around in the
water for over an hour. We both gave each other horns as Lee-Ann and Caryn
came in to watch us. They laughed for 20 minutes as we told each other
stories about our bubble bath figures. We really did feel younger.

We went downstairs for breakfast and read a few of the scripts from Harry and
didn't like any of them yet. The next day we finished another 3 scripts and
we only thought one was sort of funny. Harry called us just before dinner and
I said, "We read 7 of the 9 scripts and they are lousy." We gave him the
titles and he said, "Victor and I didn't read any of them yet. Hold off and
we'll read the other one's first. The reason I called is about Uncivilized
Justice. Your concert gave this film one hell of a kick in the ass. Have you
seen the news? Kate, there are lines at every movie theater. People are
waiting all day in some places to get tickets. It's sold out, everywhere.
Turn on the news. We'll scene the scripts before we send them out. I'm really
surprised as these were from some really good writers."

Debbie and I turned on the 6 o'clock news in the den and we couldn't believe
it. Everyone was laughing about it. Margi called us and said, "The line at
the Mega Cinemaplex in town is over 4 blocks long and Uncivilized Justice is
playing in 8 of the 10 theaters."

Debbie and I did a TV talk show the next day in New York and we had a blast.
The host was asking us questions we didn't like, so we just talked about what
we wanted to talk about. We had the studio audience in stitches as the host
was really getting pissed at us. When we left the set, the producer said to
me, "He will never let you back on the show again, but you were great. He's
such an asshole sometimes." Debbie and I just smiled and left for the airport
in a taxi.


CHAPTER 37 - A DAY AT THE RACES


Harry, Victor, Debbie and I talked for a few hours after he read the last
scripts and said, "They all suck. Listen to my idea before you say no on this
one. All of you can improvise and adlib better than anyone I've ever known.
What if we came up with an outline for a story and script and you just wing
it, like usual. Vic and I had an outrageous idea that will put you, Debbie
and Brandy in the spotlight forever if you want to try it. How about we do a
comedy docudrama about the three of you driving in NASCAR? I want it to be
real though. The fans would love it. We can integrate it into the NASCAR
concerts also."

We talked about it for three hours on the phone and included Brandy and my
mom, who knows car racing cold. Gretchen said, "I can teach them to drive,
and work the pits as the crew chief. We need real mechanics and stuff to
teach everyone else, back us up, and get the cars right for each race. The
safety stuff is what concerns me the most."

Harry, Victor, Gretchen, Debbie, Brandy, and me spent two days locked in our
study and came up with an outline. Then we invited everyone else in to hear
Harry pitch it. The kids absolutely loved it. Trisha thought we were all nuts
but loved the idea. Margi asked us if one of the side effects from the soap
was suicidal tendencies and we all were cracking up.

Harry made all of the arrangements for us to go to a racetrack to learn to
drive, and for everyone else to be trained in their parts for the movie. He
also had a film crew there to follow all of us and film it. Harry made a deal
with the record company and we were using their three cars this season and
Michelle, who as still CEO, loved the whole idea.

We stopped for two days to play a concert with the kids and they wanted us to
play last. I said, "No way! You are the headliners, not us." We all had a
blast and then we left the next day for the racetrack again in Florida.

Debbie, Brandy, and I learned the driving part pretty quickly. My mom was an
excellent teacher and also had a woman driver that had run in some events
years ago there to help us. The biggest problem we all had was the arm
strength we needed, and we had to do exercises each morning to build up our
muscles in our upper arms and shoulders. By the end of the first week, we all
were driving the cars at almost full throttle around the track. The first
time I did it, I was scared shitless. When I got into the pits I said, "How
fast was I going?" Gretchen said, "Not fast enough to win or keep from
getting hit in the ass either. We still have work to do."

By the third week, Brandy, Debbie, and I were neck and neck racing, full out,
on the track at Daytona, and our pit crews were working like we all watched
at the track. Gretchen timed our laps and then was comparing the times to
real race times turned in last year at this track. After the three of us
drove for 3 hours, she had a flagman give us the cheeked flag and we drove
into the pits. I was exhausted.  I pulled myself out of the car through the
side window opening, ripped off my helmet and said, "Cold beer and a
cigarette please." The film crew was still filming us as Debbie and Brandy
got out also and said the same thing. Debbie walked over to me and said,
"That was a blast. How in the hell did you pass me on that last turn?"

Gretchen was cracking up listening to us and she said, "Lap times were
excellent. You three are so light, you have about a 70 pound advantage over
every guy in the race." Harry said, "That's a rap for two weeks. It's Grammy
and CMA time and then we have a month to shoot some of the funny stuff."

The Grammy's and CMAs were all about the kids. They needed two shopping bags
and Debbie and I laughed for over a half hour in bed after the Grammy's, at
the monologue Caryn and Lee-Ann did to open the show. At the CMAs we were
asked to stand and we got a huge round of applause for our reunion tour and
CD.

After the CMAs we went to the real NASCAR track for the first event of the
season. Debbie, Brandy and I had to follow the rules of the other drivers and
it was very interesting. We had our licenses and everyone in the pits had the
ones they needed also. We had a physical by a doctor hired by NASCAR and he
said to me, "You're a very healthy woman, I'd say about 30." I said, "Try
46." He flipped out and said, "No way!"

We filmed so many of the adlibbed funny scenes and they were a piss. The
things we did in the pits were so hair brained, even the cameraman was
laughing too hard to film one of them. The other drivers knew what we were
doing and a lot of them watched some it. One of the seasoned veterans said to
me, "You don't really expect to win, do you?" My mom overheard him and said,
"Hey Tim, check out their lap times at Daytona running neck and neck
together." She showed him a print out from the car telemetry system and he
said, "No shit!"

We had two weeks of practice at this track before the season opened and also
filmed everyday. We were having a total blast. Harry kept telling us, "The
stuff they filmed when you weren't even paying attention is the best so far.
Just act like you normally do."

Mary and Beth's kids, who are computer nerds, have been incredible. Gretchen
had them do some work on the programming for the chip's in the engines and
they were brilliant. They set it up so that Gretchen can make changes to our
cars from the pits using a wireless laptop. She said to us, "This little
trick stays our secret also. Every team would kill for this capability." My
mom almost killed me playing with the software and sent me into a spin doing
about 180 miles an hour. My heart was pounding into my neck when the car
finally stopped and I said into the headset mic, "Mom, stop playing that
fucking alien invaders game in our laptop and tell me when you're going to
turn on the retro rockets." I heard all of the them laughing and she said,
"Sorry honey. We just wanted to see how fast we could make it. And it wasn't
Alien Invaders. It was Jewel Quest." I heard Debbie laughing also and she
said to me, "You okay?" I said, "I just need a change of underwear. I left a
skid mark on my seat."

The kids absolutely loved being part of the movie and were part of the real
pit crew, along with everyone in our band. We also had the pit crew from the
last season and they traded off as they needed too so that no one was too
tired. Lee-Ann, Caryn, and Tess were our spotters. They're the ones on the
radio with us all of the time and telling us who is behind us, or next to us,
and what to do if someone is trying to pass us.

In the qualifying runs, we really surprised ourselves. We were starting 4th,
5th and 7th. We all knew we could even go faster, and Gretchen said, "You
don't want to in the pole position in your first real race. This is much
better."

The day before the first race, we played that night at the NASCAR concert and
had a blast. Harry had the whole thing filmed and the press was everywhere
with TV cameras for interviews. Our entry into the NASCAR season series as
drivers was big news. We were interviewed before the concert started and we
joked around as usual. The reporter said, "You don't really expect to win do
you?" Debbie said, "Not the first time out. Our goal tomorrow is to finish
the race without destroying the cars or getting hurt. We may actually
surprise you when you see us race. We are pretty damn fast."

Lee-Ann did the ritual introduction of the drivers at the start of the
concert, and she introduced us last. The crowd went totally nuts as we waved
and Lee-Ann said, "We want everyone to be routing for cars numbered 15, 17,
and 23. Those are the Broken Hearts in Southland. I know I will be on the
radio talking my mom through the race. I hope like hell she doesn't get lost
out there like she does once a week driving to the mall." The kids were
busting our chops for 5 minutes and the audience and TV crew were all
cracking up. They guys from Chevy loved this as we were racing Chevy based
cars.

After the concert, we signed autographs and then we went to the motel where
we were staying by the track and all went to bed. Debbie and I were so
nervous about doing this for real; we cuddled and were trying to talk each
other into it. She came up with her top ten list of why we should do it and
we fell asleep laughing.

We were at the track at 9 the next morning for some hot laps to make sure the
cars were all set up right and then we goofed off in the garage area and the
VIP tents. Michelle and Stella were busting our chops about racing and
Gretchen said, "They really do have a good shot at winning." Michelle said,
"Hell, it doesn't matter. They have so much publicity right now, the racing
program has paid for itself all ready for this season."

We had some brunch with everyone and then we had to go get ready for the
race. The film crew was like glue to us and we got to the point we didn't
even notice them. After we had our full race suits and gear on again, the
press was taking one picture after the other of us and we all poised and gave
then some sexy shots. The TV crew that was televising the race interviewed us
and the reporter said, "You nervous?" Debbie said, "Not at all. Our knees
always shake like this."

When we got strapped into the cars in the pits, my heart must have been
pounding so loud Lee-Ann could hear it in the headset. Debbie said to me in
the headsets, "My heart is about to jump out of my chest." Then I heard
Brandy say, "If I don't puke on the first lap, I'll be fine." We were
actually laughing about it as we drove out of the pits and did the parade
laps to warm up the tires.

Gretchen said into the headsets, "I hate to break up the social club, but we
are about to go green. Now listen to me carefully on this one." She walked us
thought it and it was the biggest rush of adrenalin I ever felt in my life.
On the first turn, I moved up to 3rd, Debbie moved up to 4th, and Brandy
passed two cars and was in 5th behind Debbie.  Gretchen was so calm and said,
"It's a long race, now listen to your spotters and pay attention to
everything."

I said into the headset, "Debbie, I always like it when you were up my ass."
The three of us were laughing as we raced and we heard my mom laughing into
the headsets at us. On the tenth lap there was an accident ahead of us and we
heard Gretchen yell into the headsets, "Stay high in the turn! High side!" We
passed the wreck that was on the lower part of the track and Lee-Ann said,
"Mom, how does it feel to be leading your first NASCAR race?" I said, "Are
you shitting me? Time to open up some distance when we get the green flag
again. Debbie, Brandy stay on my ass and draft me."

We did 8 laps under yellow and my mom talked us through the restart and we
took off like a bat out of hell. Debbie was inches from my ass and Brandy was
on Debbie's ass too. Gretchen came back on the radio and said, "You three are
flying and have a good 20 seconds over the next car behind you. Just be
careful passing the traffic. Car number 8 is in 4th place behind Brandy.
You'll be trying to pass him in a few laps and he's not going to like it."

The three of us were talking to each other as the kids guided us on the
track. We blew by so many cars in a draft of the three of us. Brandy was
having the time of her life and kept yelling into the mics, "Take that you
asshole for telling me I can't drive anything except golf balls."

Gretchen got on the headset and said, "Accident on turn four. The yellow is
coming out. As soon as it does, come into the pits for tires and fuel.
Remember the speed limit in the pits. Car number 8 is out of the race."

We got the yellow and we all pulled into the pits. The crews got us all in
and out so fast I didn't even have time to take more a than two sips of the
water bottle I was handed. Gretchen said, "Great job everyone. You're on the
lead lap and are a lap ahead of the next car behind you. You guys just need
to stay with it for another 65 laps and one more pit stop."

We got so use to the speed we were now relaxed and talking up a storm on the
headsets. On one of the passes of slower traffic, Brandy shot past both me
and Debbie using our draft and we loved it. Then Debbie past me and I passed
both of them in the next group of traffic. We were having a blast and
Gretchen was laughing at us on the radio.

I said, "My left front is going flat." Gretchen said, "Pit time anyway. Slow
it down a little and get in here." I let Debbie and Brandy pass me and then
we all dropped into the pit lane and did our final stop." We pulled back out
into traffic and Gretchen said, "You are still in the lead by a half of a
lap. The other cars will have to pit too, so the gap will get bigger. You can
run hard now if you want for a while. I'll set up the engines."

We all felt the cars getting faster and we really flew. This was such a rush.
The three of us ran side by side on a banked turn and I took the lead again,
only to loose it in the next group of traffic to Debbie. We lapped the car
that was in forth and fifth and Gretchen said, "As long as you don't screw
up, one of you can win this thing. We only have ten laps to go."

Debbie, Brandy and I were like total lunatics passing each other. We were
having a total blast out three and the lead changed between the three of us
twice on each lap. We almost lost it when Brandy accidentally bumped the side
of my car and all three of us got squirrelly into a turn. We heard my mom say
into the headset, "Enough dare devil stuff. Just bring home the cars and you
safe." Our hearts were pounding from that one and I was in the lead, followed
by Debbie and Brandy with three laps to go.

We raced full throttle to the end and crossed the finish line to the checker
flag with all three of us neck and neck. Each one of us thought we were the
winner. Gretchen said, "It was too close to call. There were inches
separating you. Do the parade lap and I'll meet you at the winner's area.
Great race!"

We were busting each other's chops over the headsets and decided to bet a
dollar as to who won. We were exhausted and pulled into the winners area on
the track and we all got help getting out of the cars. We took off our
helmets and we all waved to the hundreds of thousands of cheering fans.
Debbie, Brandy and I hugged each other and then my mom hugged me, Debbie and
Brandy. She said, "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever except you three to
even finish the race. You were great!"

They announced the winner and I was in total shock as I came in first, Debbie
finished second, and Brandy finished third by less than 2 inches." Harry and
Victor were there also and Harry said to me, "I would have never bet on this
happening. You three drove like lunatics. We are going to make a fortune on
this one Kate." We hugged the guys and then Debbie and I hugged each other
and went to the victory platform and got our awards.

The TV and press were all over us and it was fun. One TV commentator said,
"That was the most exciting race we have seen in years. You three have proved
that you can definitely drive in NASCAR. Congratulations." Debbie said, "It
was just like our dive to the shopping mall, except without traffic lights
and speed traps. Brandy, if you hit my ass one more time, there will be no
ice cream for you for three weeks." We all were cracking up and then Debbie
and I did our top ten list of why we should drive racecars. The reporters
were howling and so were Harry and Victor. Our film crew was filing it also.

The next day we were the top story in the news. Debbie, me, Brandy and Barb
had sex with Harry and Victor in the VIP tent before they took it down and we
didn't realize it but the film crew shot it. Afterwards, when I lit a
cigarette, we all saw the cameras and were laughing. Harry said, "We'll
probably have to edit all of this out, but if we can just keep one line in it
for our cameo appearance that would be wonderful." Debbie was cupping one of
my breasts with her hand and took a drag of my cigarette. I said, "You are
such a sloppy eater. Debbie I need to teach you manners again." I licked a
strand of cum off of her face and Harry went wild laughing and so did Victor.
Even the film crew guys were laughing. Then she put out my cigarette and
said, "teach me now", and got on top of me in a 69 position.

We decided to skip the next two week's races and finished filming the rest of
the real movie. It was funny beyond belief and all adlibbed. Then we went and
did it all over again at a real race. This one we all got into trouble on the
track.  Debbie spun it when someone bumper her hard on the rear left side and
she blew a tire. She was fine, but out of the race and totally pissed off.
Brandy was hit by another car and was out of it, but fine. I was passing for
the lead in the last two laps of the race and the guy I just passed, pushed
me into the wall on purpose. I was so pissed off I was like a lunatic. Debbie
said to me in the pits afterward, "Next race we'll fix their red wagons."
Gretchen filed a complaint with NASCAR and they're response was, "That's
racing."

Harry said, "This film just got better. Hear me out on this one." He had a
story line to let us get even on the track and we filmed us talking about it
and NASCAR's response to us.

The next week we raced again and this time we qualified 1, 2 and 3 and played
hardball. We passed the traffic and were in the lead from the beginning.
Debbie spotted our first victim and we went to pass him and made it look like
a mistake and pushed him into the wall. We pitted under the yellow and my mom
was laughing at us.

After we got the green we kept pushing it hard until we had an opportunity to
pass the car that had screwed me last time. I was on his ass and kept bumping
him. Then I went high to pass and clipped his bumper as the others dove low
to miss him. I sent him into the wall hard and Gretchen said into the
headsets, "Hope he likes it when it's done to him."

We pitted again on the yellow for the last time and then raced our way back
to our last victim. With 5 laps to go, Debbie was in the lead and Brandy was
second as we approached the third car. We sandwiched him between us and we
pushed him into the lower Armco guardrail. Debbie won it under yellow. Brandy
was in second and I was in third.

After the race, Harry said, "The race car camera footage is out of this
world. We were watching it on the real time monitoring system."  The drivers
filed a complaint like we did, and they got the same response. I went to
their pits and said, "Want a truce, or we can keep doing this all season." I
didn't even get an answer.

Harry and Victor had a few more scenes we had to film and he said, "This is
going to be one hell of a movie." We all flew of LA and spent the next week
wrapping things up and then he said to us, "The edits on this will probably
take a month. There is so much film to review."

We went home and goofed off for a week and wrote some new tunes including
five for the movie along with Lee-Ann and Caryn, and then we drove in another
race. Brandy ran away with this one as she lapped me and Debbie. I finished
in second and Debbie was in third. None of the divers did anything to us in
this race. I guess the word spread that we are total bitches on the track.

Michelle thought that this was the best thing we could have ever done for the
record company and I said, "The movie isn't even out yet. Wait until we
release it."

The kids recorded a new CD and we decided to go into the studio after them
and record our stuff and the tunes for the movie. We got carried away and
ended up with a whole new CD.

We also spent some time with Jack, our doctor who looked terrific. He had
been doing some tests on the perfume and soaps and said to us, "It works by
being absorbed into your skin which gets into your blood stream. The
ingredients that cause it are the flowers and oils. This explains a few
things that were found years ago in an archeological dig in Northern Canada.
Perfectly preserved people, lying in a bed of decayed flowers. This stuff
kept their bodies perfectly preserved, even after they were dead for
thousands of years. We only need to use it once a week to maintain the level
of youth we have now. If we use it every day, we will see more changes like
you did, but it seems to stop around 25 years old or so. Check out the
pictures of Darla and Tammy's parents." We looked at them and didn't
recognize them at all. Jack said, "About 25 years old. They have been soaking
in it for 3 hours a day for a month. The other thing is that it seems to take
longer to age the more your body has in it. So if you stopped taking it now,
you would age back to 46 again in about three times the length of time it
took the first time. The other thing is that none of us has been sick at all.
Not even a cold. My allergies are gone too. This definitely has to stay our
little secret."

We did one more NASCAR concerts and drove another race. This was one of the
big ones and long. The three of us were dying in the racecars, as it was 115
degrees on the track and 90 percent humidity. It was a 500 mile race at
Indianapolis and we changed leads so many times we couldn't keep track of
what was happening. We were joking on the headsets that we needed a yellow to
pit to get some water and then we got one. The lead car crashed hard and this
one was bad. We pitted and I guzzled water through the tube they gave me, and
so did Debbie and Brandy. We went back out and my mom said, "You are in the
lead honey. My guess is that this will end under yellow. Just enjoy the
scenery and watching the fans standing and clapping for you." We drove 20
laps under the yellow and I got the win. Brandy was second and Debbie was
third.

When I got out of the car, I poured a cold can of beer all over my face and
the crowd was cheering and then Debbie and Brandy did the same thing. Mom
handed us three more cans and we guzzled them and as we walked over to the
winners area. We were all joking around again and I had an unlit cigarette
hanging from my lips as the TV commentator was laughing at us. I said, "I've
been dying for a smoke for the last 30 laps." I lit it up and Debbie took a
drag of it too, as he was still laughing at us. He said, "When's the film
going to be released?" I said, "In about a week or two as soon as the final
edits are done. We really had fun doing this one. The rush on the race track
is amazing."

Harry and Victor were at the race and he had the film crew there and we
didn't even realize it. He said to me, "We thought we might get a few more
shots and this was perfect. We should be done editing in about two days as
soon as we get back. This makes one hell of ending."

The next week our new CD was released and the following week the film was
released. The theaters were more packed than for Uncivilized Justice, which
was still playing at some of the theaters.

Parts of the new film were funny beyond belief, and then the race segments
were like being on a roller coaster. Harry and Victor did some brilliant
editing from the mini cameras in the racecars. They kept about 30 seconds of
our sex scene together in the movie, and it was so hot. It showed me licking
Debbie's face and my comment about her being a sloppy eater. It also had
Harry's commentary about being his only cameo. We all died laughing. Everyone
told me that Debbie was a shoe-in for getting the Oscar for Uncivilized
Justice and that I was her only competition for "A Day at the Races", our new
film. We bet a buck on it.

Everyone took the next month off and just totally goofed off. Harry called us
about the movie gross and it was almost a tie between our last two films. Our
CD sales were off the charts with the movie songs on them. It looks like we
accidentally wrote two more beer songs, as we call it. The first one is
called, "Bump and Grind" and the other is called, "Smooth is fast and feels
better." They were both about racing or could be about sex too. The lyrics
were a total piss. Stella released them both as singles.

Debbie and I were lying in bed having a cigarette while watching TV in our
bedroom and filling out the Oscar voting ballots. We were both nominated for
best actress and then best supporting actress in the other film. We voted
honestly as we were laughing about some of the scenes in the movies. Debbie
took a drag of her cigarette and then put her hand on my pussy and said, "How
about we make love for a while and finish filling it out the forms in the
morning at breakfast." I took a drag of my cigarette and was melting inside
as she gently rubbed my clit.

We finished our cigarettes and then Debbie rolled over on top of me and gave
me the wettest kiss. She had her tongue moving in my mouth and I sucked it
gently as she put her hands on my face. We made slow passionate love, as she
moved down on me a little and licked and suckled one of my nipples. I loved
how she flicked her tongue over my rock hard nipple as I held her head to my
breast. I was moaning softly and Debbie lifted her head and kissed me again.
I said, "Honey, let me go down on you. I want to so much right now."

Debbie rolled off of me and I went down on her. I ate her pussy slowly until
she was bucking into my mouth have a screaming orgasm. Then I fist fucked her
and found her spot and drove her totally nuts. I sucked up her thick cum and
Debbie pulled me on top of her and we kissed for over 10 minutes. Then she
went down on me and I was so into it. I held her head softly to my pussy and
told her just how much I loved it. She made my spot go crazy and I orgasmed
nonstop and was like a lunatic bouncing on the bed. Debbie sucked up my thick
cum and then spit it into my mouth as we kissed. I wrapped my arms around her
and we kissed for what had to be a half hour. Debbie broke the kiss and then
kissed me in short quick kisses and said, "Time to let Spike earn his keep."
We both smiled and she took spike out of the nightstand and we fucked our
brains out with it.

In the morning, we made love again in the shower, and then finished filling
out the form while we had breakfast. We were late in filling it out so we had
them send it overnight and everyone was laughing at us. Brandy said, "We
filled it out 2 weeks ago."


CHAPTER 38 - LIFE AT 50 GETS BETTER


We rehearsed our show for hosting the Oscars and this year they were going to
hate us. It was so funny and everyone had a part in it. Debbie and I walked
on to the stage wearing our gowns, high heels, and race helmets and then
start the monologue like nothings wrong. Half way through, Brandy runs out in
her western gear as Trisha screams from the side of the stage, "Wardrobe!"
We take off the helmets and put on the cowboy hats from Uncivilized Justice
and Debbie does her top ten list of why we decided to host the show this
year. It is a riot. We have 7 skits rehearsed where everyone plays a part in
it.

The week before the show we did another concert and also drove in another
race.  We hated this track, as it was so short. We spend two hours turning
the wheel left and never got over 110 miles an hour. It felt so slow and we
started to get dizzy from going around in a small circle. My mom was laughing
on the headset at us and then we started laughing as we were driving. Lee-Ann
said into the headsets, "Add this to the skit at the Oscars!" We didn't have
too. Brandy had to stop in the pits to throw up as she was so dizzy, and all
of us were hysterically laughing. Debbie and I didn't finish the race either.
I had a flat tire and she ran over a piece of someone else's car and was out
of the race. We laughed our ass off in the pits with Brandy, as we were all
dizzy as hell when we got out of the cars. My mom said to us, "You guys must
be a real blast on a Merry Go `Round." That line we added to the skits along
with Brandy throwing up.

We had to get to the Oscars show early the day it was held and we felt like
we were doing a concert. Harry and Victor thought we were certifiable when
they saw the dress rehearsal. The kids were howling while they watched it.

We were backstage before the show started and the commentator announced this
year's show and we walked out with our race helmets on. The laughing started
before we even opened our mouths and didn't stop for 15 minutes. Debbie and I
took off our cowboy hats at the end of the monologue and we went to the
podium and I said, "We have a really good show for you tonight along with the
awards. To get us started with the first presentation, please welcome Brandy
James."

The show went great and the skits were hilarious. I think the best one was
where Debbie and I go on stage with me carrying an ax and I'm sharpening it
as she's talking like Simple Meg. She's telling wise ass jokes and I keep
interrupted her saying, "You done yet? God are you slow." Debbie tells one
more joke and the place is laughing and I start to smile too. She says, "Cat,
Megs done now. We can get those guys that ran us into the wall at the races
now if you want too." I said, "Finally. Your knife is in my pocket." We got a
huge ovation and walked to the podium and did the next presentation.

Debbie got best actress for a drama in Uncivilized Law and I paid her a
dollar on stage as everyone was laughing. I got Best Supporting actress in
the same film. I got best Actress in a doc-u-drama and Brandy got best
supporting actress. Since Debbie and I are partners in the film production
company with Harry and Victor, the four of us accepted the award for best
documentary and best production of any major film.

We ended the show by playing the hit song from our race movie with our kids.
All of the kids walked through the audience and sang to people. This was
definitely a first for the Oscars. We got a standing ovation and Debbie and I
walked back to the podium and gave the closing monolog. We did the top ten
reasons not to miss next year's show. Some of these were priceless and
everyone was laughing again. We ended it with, "The best reason is because we
were asked to host it again, and we're already writing the script. So unless
you want to be one of the topics of our skits, order tickets tomorrow."

We got another standing ovation and people were cheering like the CMAs. We
were smiling and waving as Debbie whispered to me, "We fucked up this one up
too." I started to laugh and she steeped on my toe as we waved and smiled.

The show started early and ended early this year, so I wouldn't be on so late
in New York. After we all schmoozed with people, the whole crew went out to
dinner at the hotel we stayed in. We were obnoxious beyond belief and had a
blast. A reporter saw us in the restaurant and yelled out, "Kate, any
thoughts about running open wheel Indy cars next year?" My mom stood up and
said, "I'll answer that for her. No!" I hugged her and then hugged her again.

Debbie and I were so nuts in bed that night. We were doing one of our skits
that were didn't put on the show because it was way too X-rated. Lee-Ann and
Caryn had a connecting room and they came in when they heard us laughing. We
did it for them and the four of us lay in bed naked and laughing for about 20
minutes. Lee-Ann put arms around me and said, "Mom, you are by far the
nuttiest mother in the world, but I love you." She gave me a big wet kiss and
Debbie whispered into my ear, "Baby, that really turns me on" as Caryn was
rubbing Debbie's clit. We decided to tell bedtime stories again and I
orgasmed so many times, I lost count.

Debbie and I ended up cuddled with my ass touching Lee-Ann's, as she was
cuddled with Caryn when we fell asleep.

We played at another concert and then raced in two more big events. Debbie
won one, and Brandy won one also. In July, Debbie and I took four days to be
alone at a different cabin on Lake Superior and we loved it. We really
treasure the time we can be alone for a few days at a time.

When we got back, Harry had a stack of scripts waiting for us and we spent
two weeks reading them at the pool. We loved two of them. One was a third
part to our golf movie called, "Two!" and the other was a comedy about being
cops. We decided to be total screw up cops.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next several years flew by.

We drove in 17 more races over two years and then decided we were tired of
it. We each had 5 wins, which is damn good. We've done two films a year and
we all still think the comedy about being cops is by far the funniest one we
ever did. I laughed so hard when we filmed it, I pissed in my uniform and had
to change. We adlibbed so many things; Debbie changed what she said when
reading someone their rights after being arrested to include S&M and bondage.
Brandy locked herself in a cell and we had to call a locksmith to get her out
and we put it in the film. The entire flick was one huge screw up and funny
beyond belief. Even Victor was lying on the ground howling most of the time.

We're still playing in the band every other month, or when we want to. The
kids are playing once a month now and producing six bands. Stella calls them
music Gods. We only play with the kids in concerts as that's all we enjoy
doing. The Crooked Road and Georgia Passion also went to once a month only
and are having fun with it.

People are starting to pick up on the fact that we haven't aged, as Debbie
and I turned 50 this year and have been digging into our backgrounds. I got a
call from a Washington post reporter that said, "Kate, I wanted to confirm a
story we have before we print it. We know that you were an abducted child and
were reunited with your mother. We were told that you were forced into being
a child porno star. Is that true?" I said, "Not true and don't print it or
I'll sue for a retraction. I was one of the kids you see on milk cartons and
fortunately I was one of the lucky few that was found and reunited with my
mother. It's still a very emotional thing for me and I really don't want to
talk about it. I spent a long time in therapy over it." He thanked me and
said, "We won't run the story. Thanks for being so honest." Debbie looked at
me and said, "That was close."

The next week we got a call from another reporter about how we appear to not
be aging and he didn't believe a word of what I said and ran a story that we
were actually aliens from another planet. We laughed our ass off and then we
used the opportunity to get together to develop a story that made sense. Jack
said, "It's a disease, that slows the aging process. It was contagious when
you first got it, and you gave it to all 75 of us. Now it's dormant. We have
no idea how to make it start again so we all can stay young forever, but
we're working on it. It also doesn't show up on any of the blood tests.  We
think you caught it when you were in Northern Alaska, on a safari in Africa,
or in the outback in Australia. We're just not sure." Margi stood up and
said, "Brilliant!"

Debbie and I called a press conference with all of us there at our house.
Jack was with us and after all of the press arrived I said, "Thank you coming
on such short notice. Everyone has been speculating about our ages, and why
we all look so good at this old age. Doctor Jack Jameson, who has been our
personal physician for a long time will be telling you about our medical
condition."

Jack said, "Hello everyone. In case you're wondering about me, I'm 67 years
old. I know that I look like I'm 30, and that's what we're here to discuss.
Four years ago, Kate and Debbie were doing extensive traveling around the
world. They were in northern Alaska, Northern Canada, on a safari in Africa,
and the Australian outback. Somewhere in these travels they caught a disease
that is like no other one I've ever scene. It doesn't make you sick, it slows
down the aging process and seems to repair damaged cells. It also was very
contagious. I caught it, and so did everyone in this room, all 75 of us. Now
it's dormant. We have no idea how to make it start again so we all can stay
young forever, and we've been working on it for four years now. It also
doesn't show up on any of the blood tests, or any other medical tests
currently available. We think it may have been caused from something they
ate, but we just don't know. We tried everything, and so far it's a big fat
zero. They went to so many places, and so many uncharted places, it's
impossible to figure it out. They've been back to Alaska 6 times to try to
figure it out, and so far we are still no further than we were. So for all of
you that think they look young, you're right. They are young. According to my
tests, Debbie and Kate are very healthy 28 year olds, when they are actually
50. Every test conceivable comes back totally normal for each of us that was
infected. It's like the disease ran its course, and then left our bodies
without any signs of ever being there."  Jack smiled at me and I said, "Any
questions, not that we'll have the answers."

We answered questions for about an hour and there were a lot of medical
questions. Jack answered them all in medical terms. One person asked, "Why
were Kate and Debbie seeing you if the disease doesn't make you sick?" Jack
said, "Annual physical. By the way, they passed it." One reporter said, "This
could be the discovery of the century. Have you contacted any research
companies, or the government?"

I answered it by saying, "This is my body. I'll decide you pokes it and tests
it. The government has no business sticking their nose into my personal
business; especially with the hordes of cash I pay them every year in taxes.
I think Debbie and I personally funded all of Congress and the Senate last
year. I feel fine and have no desire to have any testing done, other than my
semi annual physicals. If the discovery was inside of me and could be picked
up in my blood, that's another story and I might concede to that. We think
the answer is somewhere in the places we visited. We just have no clue what
to look for. It may be something we ate, touched, drank, or maybe we're
totally off base and we caught it from someone else, maybe even here in the
states. We just don't know."

There was about 5 more questions and then the zinger, "You did a comedy movie
about doctors that discover a cure for aging. Is this whole thing a joke?"
Jack said, "It's no joke. Here is my birth certificate. We figured someone
would ask that." They all looked at it and I said, "Thank you for coming
today. Please help yourself to some coffee and Danish on the back tables if
you'd like."

The reporters asked each person about it and we all were very well rehearsed.
Lee-Ann said, "Think about how I feel. I still look like I'm 16 and I'll be
24 next month. I look like a younger sister to my mom and grandmother. This
sucks." The press was eating it up. One of them asked us while we were having
coffee, "You think this may be permanent?" Debbie said, "I hope not. Forever
is a very long time. Hey Caryn, that's a good name for a new song." We were
all cracking up.

The next day we were headlines everywhere. The New York paper ran the
headline, "Fountain of Youth Disease." We read every story and they all were
exactly what we talked about, except one, which thought space aliens abducted
us and that's how we caught it.  I almost wet my pants reading it. The
Washington Post picked up on my comment about funding congress and the
article said, "Kate understated her claim about funding Congress and the
Senate. Our research shows that she and Debbie paid enough to cover the
salaries of the entire cabinet too."

We watched a story about us on CNN and it was very flattering and funny. The
commentator said, "I couldn't think of any one better to have this disease.
Now we get to watch more fantastic movies and listen to music that I think is
the best ever, for a very long time. Kate, if you figure out what caused it,
please don't tell anyone. The world isn't ready for it yet. The movie you
made about this very topic several years ago is probably not too far from the
truth." Jack called us after the CNN story and said, "You see CNN?" I said,
"Yup. We made the right decision for now. We can always announce our
discovery some time in the future." He was laughing as he hung up.

 . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next ten years were fun beyond belief. Not one of us even got a cold. Lee-
Ann and me could pass as twins, same with Debbie and Caryn. Gretchen looks
like my sister also. It is so weird as we all look like we are between 25 and
28 years old.

We kept playing music and making movies, but only do one movie a year. Our
kids also do the movies with us and they love it. We have so much money now
my annual investment income is over 900 million a year, not including any of
the assets I purchased. Debbie has that much also. We just laugh about it and
then get pissed off every time we have to file our taxes. Debbie told me last
year that we should buy our own country and be done with it. I said, "Where?"
She said, "I don't know. Let's start shopping. It can't possibly cost more
than what we pay here every year."

Debbie, me, Brandy, and Trisha started to play golf more seriously a few
years ago and Harry wants to do a docudrama this year about us playing
professionally. We're not so sure about it, as it would really piss off the
other players as they take the game so seriously. The professionals that we
have played with were all very offended by our golf movies. They were even
more offended when we all beat them badly. Debbie shot a 62 and I died
laughing when she yelled at the ball "Go Home Ball!" on the 18th green. She
beat me by two shots and she gloated about it. I beat the best pro by 4 shots
and she was very pissed when I asked her if she was going to throw her clubs
in the lake like I did in our movie. Debbie was almost crying from laughing
so hard.

We played in a LPGA Pro-AM tournament last year and we all did really good.
It was three rounds and Debbie and I were 8 under par for the tournament and
one stroke ahead of Trisha and Brandy who were tired at 7 under par. We won
the amateur division, and also scored better than the professional winner.
They were sort of pissed and told us that our winning was unfair because we
weren't getting older. I said, "Find the answer to it, and you can have the
same problem."

We just got a call from Linda, the LPGA pro that we said that too last year
and she said to me, "I know the answer. Can I meet with you?" I said, "Sure"
and made the arrangements for her and her best friend who also is on tour, to
meet us for lunch at our place.

Linda and her friend Mandy, which we suspected was her lover, showed up at
the house and Debbie let them in. We made them a drink and we sat in the
study. I lit a cigarette and so did Debbie as I said, "So what's you answer?"
Linda lit a cigarette also and took a sip of her drink. She smiled at me and
said, "We use to be private detectives before we joined the LPGA tour and we
took this as a personal challenge. I knew you were lying."

Mandy smiled and lit a cigarette as Linda said, "Its from flowers and oils.
Special ones. That are grown in two nurseries that you own and that came here
from Bermuda. You have a company producing a soap and fragrance that all of
you use." I said, "Very good. How did you find out?" She said, "Lets talk
first and then I'll tell you. I want to be in on it. I'll keep my mouth shut
and help you to really hide it. What you did is too obvious to someone like
me."

Debbie and I were smiling and I said, "How about we make a deal on a few
things. Lets get some lunch in here so we can talk in private." I buzzed the
intercom to our new cook and said, "Maria. Sandwiches in the study please."
"Thank you."

She brought them in and I said, "Thanks honey. See if Brandy, Trisha, Lee-Ann
and Caryn can join us for a little while in here." They all came in with some
lunch and I introduced them to Linda and Mandy. I said, "Linda, can you
repeat for them what you told us?"

She said it and no one said a word. I said, "We knew someone would eventually
find out about it. Linda can help us really hide it with Mandy, in exchange
for joining our very private club. Do ya'll agree that's the right thing to
do?" Brandy said, "Yeah. We should not go public with this."

I said, "Linda, we all made a very stick pack about this when we started. If
anyone told you about it, they loose out. How did you find out?" She told us
and I called Darla and said, "You and Tammy have to deal with a problem. Your
mother spilled the beans about our soap to a private detective." "No. We're
taking care of it. It will stay confidential and we will have two new members
to our club." "Tell her from me, she's cut off and no exceptions. I'm sorry
Darla, but we all made a deal."

I said, "You can tell me to go to hell for asking this, but how much money do
you have?" Linda said, "Enough to get by. Why?" I said, "Because we don't
want you to be in position that money will ever drive you to give away the
secrets. Before you leave today, we'll make sure of that. We have so much
money Debbie is trying to get me to buy a country with her." Linda was
smiling and I said, "We require everyone to sign this form. This what Darla's
mom signed and decided to ignore it." Linda read it and then both signed it.
I said, "Now we'll tell you the whole truth."

We told them how we found out about it and everything. Linda and Mandy were
laughing at us for over an half hour about how we covered it up. She said,
"It was very cleaver, but we found it easily. Over the next day, we'll show
you how to restructure everything so no one can find it. You just need a
lawyer you can trust." I called Kathy's father and told him about our recent
problem and then said, "They say we need a lawyer to make the changes we need
so no one can find out again." "Yeah sure. We'll be here." I hung up and
said, "He's coming over for dinner."

They explained to us how we should make the changes and Brandy was smiling
and said, "You ever work for the FBI?" Linda said, "Very close. CIA." I said,
"How in the fuck did you end up in the LPGA?" She said, "I was planted as an
operative years ago. I got really good at the game and quit the job." Mandy
said, "I was her partner, in more ways than one."

I said, "How tuff would it be to get us on the LPGA tour to play
professionally?" Linda smiled and said, "If we're in the club, you're in the
LPGA. We'll help you." We started telling them about a new movie like the
NASCAR one we did and they were cracking up. I said, "We have three hours
before dinner and the lawyer getting here. You feel like taking a bath that
will take off a few years?" Lee-Ann said, "I'll set them up in one of the
bedrooms and a bath."

All of us walked up stairs with them and Debbie said, "You can take this case
with you. There's perfume, soaps, and bath wash, plus our new bubble bath and
shampoo. It soaks into your skin and all you need to do is wash with it every
day for the first few weeks, and then once a week from there on. A long bath
will work very fast. How old are you Linda?" She said, "42." Lee-Ann got a
camera from her room and said, "Smile." She took pictures of their hands,
feet and face and I said, "This is to compare to the new you. Do either of
you have any health problems now?" Mandy said, "A benign tumor on my leg."
Linda said, "Rheumatoid Arthritis that is pretty bad."

We started a bath for them and I said, "I hope you don't mind sharing a
bath." Linda said, "Not at all" as she smiled at Mandy. I added the bath wash
and bubble bath, and then took out a soap and shampoo. I said, "Enjoy the
warm bath. Just add more hot water when it gets cold. The longer you stay in
the water, the faster it will work. We'll get you when the lawyer gets here,
or you can join us anytime you want."

We all went downstairs and talked about what they told us. I said, "If they
can hide companies, maybe they can hide money. How much should we set them up
with to keep this quite forever." Debbie said, "50 million?" Brandy said,
"How about we each put in 5 million so it's not all coming out of your
account." I said, "Debbie and I will do it. We have a lot more than anyone
else because of our investments."

Debbie and I got on the Internet and accessed our bank accounts.  I
transferred 50 million to checking and we immediately got call from the
branch manager. Debbie said, "Like clock work to double check it's us."
Debbie said, "Hi Sam. It's us moving some money around." She hung up and then
we all had a few drinks as we talked about an LPGA movie.

Kathy's dad showed up and Lee-Ann let him in as Debbie and I went up to get
our guests. They were sound asleep in the bath and we were cracking up. I
woke them up gently and Linda said, "We fell asleep. I love the smell of
this. It's so calming." We handed them some towels and I said, "Look in the
mirror." They got up and dried off and then looked into the mirror. Linda
said, "Oh my God, and my joints don't hurt any more." I said, "5 years
difference maybe. In three weeks you will look like you did when you were 28.
One other thing I didn't mention. None of us has even had a cold." She hugged
me and said, "I'll get all of you on the tour. I swear it." Debbie was
laughing and said, "Come downstairs for dinner. The lawyer's here."

We went downstairs and poured ourselves another drink and then into the
dining room. Brandy was already telling Bob, Kathy's dad, about the plan and
he was smiling. Linda and Mandy came in and Debbie did the introductions, as
Maria was bringing in the food. I said, "Anyone want another drink?"

Linda said, "I'll get it. Where's the bar?" I took her into the den and said,
"Tell me something. Will your plan work for hiding money too?" She said, "I
think so. You need a good accountant." I gave her the check Debbie and I
wrote out and I said, "This is to make sure you don't want to leave our
little club." She had her eyes bugged out and said, "I can't take this." I
said, "It's yours. We have so much money you can't even imagine what we have.
Take it." She said, "How much are you looking to hide?" I said, "Don't
laugh." She was smiling and I said, "Just me and Debbie have over 60 billion.
Our two kids have about half that. Plus everyone in this club is very well
off. Brandy has over 20 billion, so does Trisha, shit all of them have so
much we don't know what to do with it. We're sick of paying taxes on every
penny of investment income we have. We're being legally raped and it sucks."
She said, "I'll make some calls later. I know a few people that can help."

I made her and Mandy a drink and we went back into the dining room. Linda
made a toast to us and I said, "To a very long friendship." We all drank and
then she was telling Bob what had to be done. He said, "That's quite clever.
How did you learn about doing that." She said, "CIA. We had to learn every
trick in the book. This is one that we saved and never told anyone about."
Bob said, "We can make these changes tomorrow and also change the company
names using an offshore holding company. I'll call the manufacturing company
so they know what's going on. Kate, you and Debbie are going to have to sign
the new incorporation papers. I'll stop by tomorrow with them."

We ate and then went into the den to sit and talk, as Bob left. I said, "Tell
us all about yourselves." Linda and Mandy were a total piss after two drinks.
They were both only child, divorced, had no kids, the parents were dead, and
they were an item.  When we played golf with them they thought we were stuck
up movie star bitches. We laughed for hours and had about 6 more drinks. I
said, "You two aren't driving anywhere. Stay the night. Where do you live
anyway?" Linda was giggling and said, "In between here and Memphis in the
middle of nowhere. We like to be alone sometimes, and that was our answer to
it." Debbie said, "We can relate to that."

We walked them upstairs to the bedrooms and I said, "What are you going to
tell people when they ask about your new appearance?" They both panicked and
I said, "We'll work on a story tomorrow. Have fun tonight and take another
long bath in the morning again."

Debbie and I went to bed and we made love for 4 hours. We were so nuts with
bedtime stories when I told Debbie that Mandy looks a little like Kelly, the
girl I thought was my sister as a kid. We used Spike for about an hour and
then we ate each other until we were moaning loud enough into each other's
pussy to wake the dead. Debbie lifted head laughing and said, "Kate honey.
You're going to wake our guests. I guess that felt good. Let me do it again."
Debbie sucked my entire pussy into her mouth and massaged my clit with her
tongue. I orgasmed again big time.

In the morning, we woke up to Lee-Ann kissing us and saying, "Wake up. Linda
and Mandy are finished with their bath. It's 11." We got up and Lee-Ann said,
"Have a good night? We heard it." I threw a pillow at her and she was
laughing as we went into the bathroom. Debbie was kissing me in the shower
and I was melting in her arms.

We dressed and went downstairs as Marie handed us a plate for breakfast in
the kitchen and we poured some coffee. I said to Linda, "How was the bath?"
She said, "I feel so much better it's amazing." Debbie put her finger to her
lips and pointed to Maria. Linda and Mandy nodded. Lee-Ann came into the
kitchen and said, "Picture time." She snapped quick shots of hands, feet and
faces and then said, "I'll be right back."

She was in the study and then came back in with the printed pictures. Linda
said, "No shit" and passed them to Mandy. Brandy and Barb came into the
kitchen for breakfast and they looked at the pictures and Brandy said,
"Another three weeks."

We were all eating breakfast and Bob stopped over with the papers for us to
sign. Debbie and I signed them in a few minutes and he said, "We are now
invisible. I called the manufacturer and they are adding to the supply also."
We all had to be careful around Maria and he smiled and said, "I'll call you
later."


CHAPTER 39 - GETTING A TOUR CARD


Brandy said, "So tell us what we have to do to get on tour?" Linda said,
"Four of you right?" Barb said, "Not me. I suck big time. I'm a caddie" We
were smiling and Brandy said, "Four." Linda picked up the phone and made a
few calls and said, "Hi Jim, it's Linda." "Yeah. I'm ready for it. Hey, the
reason I called is I'm sitting here with four very famous people Kate Rogers,
Debbie Austin, Brandy James and Trisha Wyoming. They are excellent golfers
and the last time we played they beat all of us. They want to play on the
tour. What do they have to do to get into the tournaments?" She wrote it all
down and said, "Thanks. That's next week?" "Okay, we'll do it." She hung up
and said, "You have a play a few rounds. Feel like playing today?"

I said, "Shit yeah."  Linda said, "You have to play two rounds with LPGA pros
and have us sign your score cards and then play in a 2 day tournament next
weekend. Top 30 get their tour cards. Lets play the course the tournament is
being held at. It's here in Nashville this year."

She made the calls and said, "1:30 and 1:45 is great. Thanks." She hung up
and said, "Mandy will play with Brandy and Trisha and I'll play with Kate and
Debbie. You feel like heading out now so we can hit the range first?"

We went upstairs and changed, and gave Linda and Mandy some cloths also. I
said, "Our clubs are in the Rolls. Where are your clubs?" Linda said, "We
keep a spare set in the trunk." Brandy drove the new Bentley and Debbie
pulled the Rolls around front also and we put their clubs in our cars and
left for the course.

I said, "This is where we played last week. It's a nice course." Linda said,
"What did you shoot?" Debbie said, "I was really on last week and they all
went in the hole. I had a 63. Kate had a 67."

We unloaded the clubs for the kid to carry them around front and then we went
inside. I paid the greens fees and everyone here kissed our ass. Linda said,
"They worship you here." I said, "It's called star struck. It happens were
ever we go. You want caddies or a cart?" Linda said, "Lets walk the course
with caddies."

We all got caddies and we went to the range. Debbie and I were jerking around
and Linda was laughing at us. We did a few things from our last golf movie
and they all were dying.

Our caddies didn't stop laughing the whole round. Debbie and I don't care
about anything when we play golf. Noise doesn't bother us in the least and we
actually like it. I was cheering for her while she was taking a shot and
Linda was dying. Then we both did it to her and she couldn't even swing the
club. We almost wet our pants.

We all played good and at the end of nine were tied at 2 under par. The back
nine was fun and we all got lucky. I had a 66, Debbie had a 67 and Linda had
a 67. She said, "This was outrageous golf. I haven't played this good in a
long time. Lets see how Mandy, Brandy, and Trisha played."

We waited for them sitting outside having a beer and we heard them all
laughing on the 18th green. I yelled over, "Did it go in the hole?" Brandy
yelled back, "Every night." Linda was dying as Mandy walked over to us and
said, "They beat the shit out of me. They both shot a 67. I had a 70." Linda
showed them our scorecard and they were laughing about it and signed them for
us.

We ordered them a beer and I said, "Now the story about your looks. What I
would say is that you are on a sort of health kick and went to a Spa, lost
some weight, changed your hair, you're taking vitamins, and eating better.
Remind me to give you the spa brochure when we get back to our house. People
will believe anything." Mandy said, "Your probably right. They will believe
anything. How did you come up with the story about the disease?" I said,
"Jack. That was his idea and it worked. We'll tell you a funny story about
how we originally found out about it. Debbie and I thought we were both
dying." Debbie told the story and Linda and Mandy were almost peeing in their
pants. Then she did her top ten reasons to live forever. We were all howling
as we had a beer and lit cigarettes.

We took them back to our place and gave them a brochure of two different spas
we went to, and they were smiling at us. I said, "Don't forget to take the
soaps." Linda said, "We need to play again with you tomorrow if you can. You
need two rounds signed by LPGA pros."

We played the next day and had fun as usual. This time Debbie and I played
with Mandy and we had her totally nuts. She was cheering when we swung the
club trying to make us miss and she couldn't. This time Debbie had the low
round of a 65 and I had a 67. Mandy had a 65 and was walking on air.

We turned in our scorecards to an LPGA official and he gave us tee times for
Saturday and Sunday. We all were playing in a foursome and Brandy said,
"Three!" He said, "No four." She screamed, "Three!" and he said, "No! Four!"
It was like Abbot and Costello and I finally said, "She's talking about our
movie." I was dying.

We played on the weekend with hundreds of other women golfers hoping to make
the LPGA. We were in the last tee time, as we signed up so late. We did our
usual goofing around at the range and the other players were star struck. We
thought it was comical. Linda and Mandy showed up to watch us and I said,
"You have to cheer for us." They were laughing already.

We saw the scores that were posted and a lot of them were really high. We
just shrugged it off and went to the tee box with our caddies. They were
afraid to talk to us and Brandy put her arm around one of the guys and said,
"We don't bite on the first date. Promise." Linda and Mandy were cracking up
at us.

We played great. We all had one bad shot but we recovered from it. Debbie had
an awful shot and it hit a deer and then ball stopped right next to the
green. We laughed our ass off. I had the low round today with a 64 and
Debbie, Brandy and Trisha had 65s. We signed the cards and handed them in and
the official looked at us funny. I said, "Something wrong?" He said, "No.
Very low scores. Hey, you're the Three! people." Linda said, "The scores are
right Charlie. We watched them play one hell of a round of golf."

We got our tee time for tomorrow and invited Linda and Mandy over to the
house for dinner. They both told us, "The fans will love you on tour. You are
all so funny to watch. My God, I could never do what you guys do on the
course." Trisha said, "We had to do this for the movies and we got use to
it."

Linda and Mandy brought cloths this time and I said, "You ever see us play in
concert?" Linda said, "No. We haven't been to a concert in years. Why?" I
said, "You busy next weekend? We are playing with our kids at a big outdoor
gig. Come be our guests. You'll understand why we are so nuts."

The next day we got to the course early for our 11 o'clock tee time and hit
the range. The other players were all laughing at our goofing around and then
we got serious and they weren't laughing at all when we each hit the 100 yard
sign with a sand wedge 5 times in a row in a bet for buck each. Linda said,
"Very good. Now hit the 200." I used my 4 iron and hit it square on and said,
"I can't reach the 300. I'm usually a few yards short." I hit my driver and
missed the sign by about a yard and Linda said, "That's farther than I can
hit it."

They walked with us again as we totally goofed off on the course. There were
some spectators watching and they all recognized us. Brandy had them cheering
for us when were we taking shots and everyone was laughing. The caddies told
us that we should be committed. Today Debbie had the low round with a 66 and
the rest of us had 67s. We signed our cards and gave them to Charlie and he
said, "Unbelievable." Linda said, "I know you all made it. Lets have a few
drinks and see the final scores as they are posted."

We sat outside and lit cigarettes as we ordered a beer. Charlie wrote our
scores on a board and I said, "How come we are in red?" Linda said, "Red is
very good in golf. That's under par on the boards. You are the only ones
under par for both rounds. Actually you are way under par. For someone to
beat you they would need a 58 and you'd still get your tour card."

We had four beers and were getting loud and routy. A bunch of players asked
us for autographs and Linda was starting to understand what it means to be
famous. One said, "We loved your movies. Debbie, how did you hit that
groundhog?" We talked and laughed for over an hour with other players and
Linda and Mandy were in stitches.

The LPGA officials made an announcement as the players were all gathered
around where we were sitting. He said, "We have four medallists this year
that all finished more than ten under par for two rounds. That's great golf.
They are Kate Rogers, Debbie Austin, Brandy James and Trisha Wyoming. Welcome
to the LPGA tour ladies." Everyone as clapping and Debbie said, "We did it?
Kate, we did it!" We hugged and Linda was laughing. We drank our beers as
they announced the top 25 that made the tour and then the next 20 others with
sponsor's exceptions. He said, "For everyone else, keep practicing and try
again next year."

A man walked over to our table and Linda said, "Hi Jim. These are the
medallists this year and our friends." He said, "Glad to have you on the
tour." Linda said, "Jim's the president of the LPGA." He said, "I love your
music and movies." Debbie said, "We'll give you VIP passes to see our next
concert. We're playing in Memphis on Saturday night." He said, "I'd love to
go." He gave us one of his cards and he said, "Linda, you look great. You
change your hair?" She had the story down cold and he believed it. Mandy
looked at us and blushed.

They came back to our house and I said, "How many VIP pass kits do you want?"
We gave her ten and I said, "The events are mobbed with over 100,000 people.
We'll get you a limo to take you there. Give me your address." She gave us
their address and she took Jim's package also for him, and his family. Debbie
called now to get the limo for her on our tab and Mandy said, "This should be
fun. I've never been to a large concert before." Brandy said, "You've lived a
very sheltered life. Stick with us and we will totally corrupt you." They
were laughing as they left.

Debbie and I had totally outrageous sex with our golf club sex toys. We
laughed for an hour afterwards and then we got up and signed on the Internet
to buy a set for Linda and Mandy.

The rest of the week we figured out what we needed to know about Linda's
offshore schemes and used an accountant to buy a shell shoe manufacturing
company in the Bahamas that was established in 1921 and four other companies
in Switzerland, and some islands. The accountant explained it all to us and
we really didn't understand. He said, "In English? You won't pay taxes on the
30 billion in this company. We invest it from here and you can take payment
in gold, diamonds, or whatever. No one will know unless you tell them about
it."

On Saturday we left for the concert to get there by 3 for a sound check and
Linda and Mandy pulled up in the limo at the same time. I said, "Hi. You
didn't have to come this early. The show doesn't start until after dinner.
But since you're here, hang around with us." Debbie said, "We got you a
present. Come back stage with us. It's in the limo." Debbie gave her the  sex
kit we wrapped and Linda opened it and laughed her ass off with Mandy. They
took out the driver dildo and were dying.

Then engineers were calling us and I said, "We have to do a sound check. Come
on stage with us." We did the level checks and then played one tune and then
changed instruments and did it again and again. Lee-Ann was walking to the
stage and she said, "Sounds good mom. Hi Linda. How did they do last weekend?
We haven't been home in a week." Linda said, "They not only made it, they
were the medallists. Top of the list." Lee-Ann said, "This will replace
NASCAR racing this year. Good. It's safer." We all were busting her chops and
Lee-Ann was laughing.

All of us opened a cold beer and I said, "Sit with us. I want to hear the
kids warm up. In about two hours this will start to fill up and by 8, you
won't see anything but wall to wall people." We watched the kids and then
they did one of their hit songs and Linda said, "They're great!" I said, "It
sounds a lot different here. Wait until we go one later. There's one band
that goes on first before us." I yelled, "Lee-Ann, is Georgia Passion here?"
Lee-Ann walked out to us and pulled me aside and said, "Mom, Darla and Tammy
told her mom, and she totally flipped out. They had to have her committed.
They're with her dad now. We have another band coming and they should be here
in a few minutes. I feel so bad for them."

I called Darla from my cell hone and said, "Hi honey. I'm so sorry about what
happened." She said, "Kate, its not your fault. My mom was a flake and still
is. She flipped out and tried to stab me and Tammy. We had to call the police
and they locked her up in a loony ward. Now I'm stuck taking care of my dad
for a while. Play good and we'll call next week." I said, "Take care of
yourself and call me if you need anything."

We all went to the flea market as the place was starting to fill up with
people. We heard County Line warming up and I told everyone what happened
with Darla. Linda felt so bad and I said, "It's not your fault. She was a
flake."

We bought some of my favorite ribs for dinner and carried them to the stage
area to eat with the kids. County Line came over to say hello and Lee-Ann
introduced everyone. They worshiped Linda and Mandy. Linda was smiling and
said, "So you like golf. Alright!" They all yelled "Three!" and we cracked up
laughing.

We ate and the time flew by as we were clowning around. The emcee came over
and said, "5 minutes." We had Linda and Mandy go to their seats and we saw
Jim with his family. We all waved to him and he waved back.

The place was jam packed and the lights were on. The emcee welcomed everyone
and the cheers were really loud here. Then he announced County Line and they
rocked the first song. We listened and watched for a while and then we went
back stage to sit and relax. Debbie and I lit cigarettes and she was so into
the band tonight. So was I.

We heard their last tune and walked to the side of the stage as they just
finished and the crowd was cheering loud. They waved and walked off stage,
and then we walked up and got ready. The emcee gave us the usual 3 minute
build up and we got the total fan fare with the fireworks going off when he
introduced us.

Val clicked it off and we started with our current tune in the charts. We
sounded so good tonight and had so much energy. The crowd was standing in the
first tune and singing along as Linda and Mandy looked so surprised. After
the song ended and the cheering stopped I said, "Thank you. We have guests
with us that like golf, so we thought it was only fair to do one of our golf
songs. Anyone remember the movie Three! ?" The screaming was deafening and
Debbie said, "Sing along with us." We played a funny song and that had
everyone scream Fore! in the chorus. Linda, Mandy and Jim were so into it. We
loved it.

We did our skits, some new and some old tunes, and then ended it with a blues
medley of the Love Sucks, the beer song and Beaver Patch. People still buy
those singles and Debbie and Lou-Ann play such outrageous guitar licks we
love playing these tunes this way.

We got a standing ovation that wouldn't stop. Lee-Ann was laughing from the
side of the stage and she said, "Introduce us yourself." I held up my hands
and said, "We really love your support, but there is one more band tonight.
They are by far one of the best bands to ever play country music. Not that
I'm biased, because my daughter is in it." People were still screaming as the
kids were getting ready and I said, "Every once in a while a group of
musicians gets together that has that special magic. We have it. We all know
it and it's been there for years. Shades of the Cottonwood has it also. They
are pure magic on stage and are ready to give you one hell of show. You ready
to hear them?" The screams were deafening and I pointed to Todd. He started
their first song as I waved to the audience and walked off the stage.

Debbie put her arms around me and planted a hug kiss on my lips and said,
"That was very nice honey." I smiled and said, "Lets go sit down." We sat as
the crowd was going as nuts for them as they did for us and we were all
laughing about it.

Trisha gave us each a cold beer and we lit cigarettes as we listened to the
kids show. Lee-Ann was really on tonight and the show was great. They asked
us to come on the stage in the last song and we all sang one of their tunes
with them. We had a blast and the audience wouldn't stop screaming. It was
funny. We all bowed and waved for about 5 minutes and then walked off the
stage. I waved to Linda, Mandy and Jim to come backstage with us and they
showed their IDs and came with us. Jim said something and I yelled, "Go
behind the stage! I can't hear you!"

We walked behind the stage to the table area and Jim said, "Wow! What a show!
This is my wife Kathy and my daughter Jasmine. They worship you." I said, "Hi
Jasmine. How old are you?" She said, "I'm 12 and a half and you were
awesome." She hugged me and then hugged Debbie. I said, "You want one of our
CDs and we'll sign it for you?" She was nodding so Trisha took a few CDs out
of the boxes we had behind the stage and she said, "How about we all sign
them for you?" We had the kids sign their CD too and we gave Jasmine two CDs
and two more to Jim's wife Kathy." Jim said, "If you bring even one tenth of
this excitement to the LPGA, you will be the hit of every fan. I've never
seen a show like this, ever."

Linda said, "Jim, they like people to cheer while they swing and putt. The
fans will go crazy with them. You have to see it to believe it." Debbie said,
"Mandy, was it what you expected?" Linda and Mandy wouldn't stop talking
about it and the kids were cracking up.

Trisha handed all of us cold beers and we lit cigarettes. I said, "Jim, you
want a Bud, Coors, Miller, or Bush?" He said, "Any one is fine. Same for
Kathy." I handed him two beers and Lee-Ann stood behind me and was rubbing my
shoulders and said, "Mom, you missed your calling in life. You make a great
emcee." Brandy was now busting my chops about how I really screwed it up
once. I said, "That was 4 years ago. I have no idea how I forget the name of
the band. It was a senior moment." Jim was cracking up and as Lee-Ann said,
"Linda, you and Mandy should be prepared to loose to my mom at golf. She
doesn't know how to do anything in moderation. The first NASCAR race she
drove in with Brandy and Debbie, they finished in a photo finish and the next
car was 2 laps back. She'll be cracking jokes and smiling the whole time, as
she runs you over." I said, "Hey, I'm not that bad! You're the one who was
totally obsessed with breaking the records we set after we passed Elvis and
the Beatles. Now that you've beat us, you're pissed that the mountain isn't
any higher."

Linda and Mandy were cracking up and Jim was shaking his head as Lee-Ann
said, "We're going to do a movie too with Dad producing us. Watch out mom." I
hugged her and said, "I hope you get an Oscar honey and I will do everything
I can do to help you. But you're going to have to beat me at it." We were
both smiling and Debbie said, "Let's sign autographs. Linda, you and Mandy
can hang out with us if you want. The hordes of fans are about to storm the
stage." Jim said, "That's our cue to get out of here. Well see you at the
first tournament next week and good luck. I hope you run over everyone." I
gave Jasmine a hug and so did Debbie and we walked over to the police
barricade.

We signed autographs for about 20 minutes with the County Line and then the
kids walked over and we sat down again. Linda handed us two more beers and we
were joking around. Lee-Ann signed a woman's breasts with Caryn, and we were
cheering for her. Linda said, "Is it always this nuts at these concerts?"
Debbie said, "This one is calm."

We talked and talked, as the kids waved goodbye to us and I said, "We'll see
you tomorrow." Brandy wanted to leave, and I said, "Take the limo. We'll have
the other limo drop us off after they take Linda and Mandy home."

It was just the four us sitting in the almost empty area behind the stage and
we were talking about how Linda and Mandy met and their relationship. They
were flirting with Debbie and me like crazy and Debbie winked at me. I leaned
over to Linda real close and gave her a slow soft wet kiss and then whispered
into her ear, "You want to come back to our place and sleep with Debbie and
me?" She kissed me again and then smiled at Mandy and said, "Lets get out of
here." Mandy kissed Debbie and then she kissed me.

We went into the limo and I said, "Hi Thomas. We have a change in plans. Take
us to our place in Nashville." He said, "Sure thing Kate. You sounded great
tonight." The four of us sat back in the rear seat, turned off the inside
lights, rolled up the partition to the driver, and then Debbie was all over
me. We watched Linda and Mandy kissing and then we switched.

For two hours we made each other so hot we couldn't take it. I was dripping
juice into my blue jeans and my nipples had to be an inch long and as hard as
a rock. Debbie was caressing my breasts and then stopped to light a cigarette
and said, "We're home." I lit one also as we got out of the limo.

The four of us went straight up to our bedroom and Debbie and I were like
wild animals. We undressed each other and lay in a 69 position with me on top
of her and went totally crazy. Linda and Mandy were lying next to us kissing,
and rubbing each other's clit. We heard them orgasm and Debbie and I moved to
lie between their legs. I went down on Linda and she went down on Mandy and
we made them totally crazy. We fist fucked them and found their spots for
almost a half hour and them we ate think cum and shared it with each other.

Linda was almost comatose and said, "I have never had anything like that in
my life." Debbie said, "The fun's only starting. You're about to meet Spike
and his brother." They were laughing and Debbie and I put Gizmo into the
pussies and showed them what to do with it and then we used Spike. Debbie and
I were locked in a kiss for a long time as we orgasmed so many times I lost
count.

We gave them the bigger Spike for a while and Mandy actually passed out for a
minute. We were cracking up as we woke her up and Linda was half out of it
too. They went down on us as Debbie and I held each other. I told her I loved
her over 20 times.

We paired up again, cuddled, and then feel asleep. I woke up hearing crying.
I opened my eyes and saw Linda sitting up and crying on Mandy's shoulder. I
kissed Debbie softly and then woke her up as she was listening also. We both
sat up and I said, "Linda, you don't have anything to be upset about. Darla's
mother is a total flake and we weren't going to involve her when we started
this. All of us knew she would say something. It was just a matter of time.
We'll now her time is up. Darla and Tammy didn't think she'd last this long."
Debbie and I hugged her and she was still sobbing and said, "You are both so
nice and sexy, and lovable and I tried to take advantage of you." I said, "So
we'll beat the shit out of you in golf and call it even." She was smiling and
said, "I can't believe how lousy I feel right now." Debbie said, "Linda, you
have been a very, very bad girl and mistress Debbie will have to punish you.
Now lay on my lap like the bad girl that you are." Linda was getting into it
and Debbie spanked her as we were cracking up. Debbie said, "You feel better
now that you were punished?" She nodded and Debbie said, "Meg thinks Cat
needs to be punished too." I put my fist on my heart and Mandy was cracking
up as Debbie tapped my ass and few times and then fingered my pussy.  We made
love again and then conked out.


CHAPTER 40 - THE LPGA


The next morning was interesting, to say the least. Lee-Ann and Caryn ran
into our room naked and jumped into the bed not even seeing Linda and Mandy
under the covers eating Debbie and me out. I said, "Linda, you and Mandy are
about to learn another secret that will get you killed as dead as it gets if
you talk about it." Lee-Ann was laughing and said, "Shit mom. I'm 29 years
old. Who gives a shit. We pass as twins sisters." Linda and Mandy watched me
and Lee-Ann make love, next to Debbie and Caryn.  Linda and Mandy got so hot
watching us they masturbated kneeling next to the four of us. Lee-Ann and I
licked Linda's pussy and she was totally flipping out. I think it had
something to do with the twins comment, as we really do look almost identical
now.

Debbie and I really like Linda and Mandy. They were as loony as we were, but
never showed it in public.  We went to their place for two days and it was
very nice. Then we went back to our place and we all went to the airport for
the LPGA tournament. Barb was caddying for Brandy, Tess caddied for Trisha,
Lee-Ann caddied for me, and Caryn caddied for Debbie. We thought they were
totally nuts to do it, but they wanted to.

When we got to the course on Wednesday morning, Linda and Mandy showed us the
ropes. We signed in and paid our registration fee and then got our tee times
for the first round on Thursday. Linda said, "Today, we play a practice round
and get to know the course. I'll play with you and Debbie, and Mandy will
play with Trisha and Brandy. You have small notebooks?" Lee-Ann said, "We
came prepared. God mom, how do you expect to win?" We were all cracking up
again.

We went to the range and the kids were a blast. We hit balls and were joking
around as the kids signed autographs for fans watching us. We putted and
chipped for a while and then we had our tee time called. Lee-Ann ran over to
get my bag and said, "You are not allowed to carry it. You have to win! I
have a whole dollar bet on you." She was arguing with Caryn again about which
one of us was going to win and we were cracking up.

Mandy teed off first with Trisha and Brandy and they were off as we watched
them walk down the fairway. Linda's caddie was a professional who did this
for a living and he was already laughing at us. Linda let me tee off first
and Lee-Ann handed me my pitching wedge and said, "Use the small club. It
looks so much nicer than that big thing." Linda's caddie lost it laughing and
dropped her bag as Linda said, "God help us tomorrow." Lee-Ann called him a
whimp and Linda was almost crying as I took out my driver.

We all had good shots and then she was explaining what to write down on the
note pads. Lee-Ann was writing a lot and I said, "What in the fuck are you
doing?" She said, "I got an idea for a new tune. This is the first verse." We
all read it and Debbie said, "Cool. Sing it to us as we play the hole." Lee-
Ann sang it to us as we hit our approach shots and Linda said, "What total
flakes." Caryn said, "I wrote down the real stuff. Chill out!"

The whole round was funny as hell. Our kids are definitely worse than we are.
We put the bags and our spikes in the locker room area with Linda's stuff and
then we went to the clubhouse to have a beer and some lunch. We were mobbed
for autographs and the manger of the course introduced himself and said,
"Whatever you want, we can get it. We love your movies and music." Lee-Ann
picked up a newspaper on one of the other tables and said, "Check this out.
It says, Kate Rodgers, Debbie blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, have shown the
world they can be the best in music, movies, NASCAR racing, and now golf? You
have to be kidding. My guess is that watching them play this weekend will be
funnier than their two golf movies. I wouldn't miss it for the world." Debbie
said, "Now we have to play good. This is a personal challenge."

Caryn was walking around the room and she came back with an old putter than
was bent in a U like the one in our movie and we all died laughing as she
said, "You'll need this one to win." Debbie was almost choking as she yelled
out, "Where'd you get that?" Caryn said, "I bought it for 5 bucks from the
orphan club barrel."

I stood up and putted a ball on the carpet with it as people were watching
and laughing. Linda and Mandy were laughing so hard they stopped breathing.

The first day of the tournament was a total piss. The four of us teed off
together at 10 in the morning and the place was packed. Lee-Ann yelled at the
guys holding up the quite sign and said, "Put that thing down! We like it
loud. We want everyone clapping and cheering when they hit the ball. Lets
go!" Lee-Ann started it and I teed off and then the crowd really got into.
Jim was watching us tee off on the first tee and laughing his ass off.

The four of us with our kids and Barb had a total blast as we played the
course. We all got into trouble on a few holes and mine was so funny. I hit a
great drive and it rolled too far and went right behind a big tree on the
18th, which is a par four. We walked up to the ball and I was yelling at it
for not paying attention to what I told it to do. I checked it out and
noticed there was hole under the tree that went all of the way through like a
tunnel and Debbie said, "Just like the movie. What a piss." I said, "I only
have 50 yards to the flag. I'm going to putt it hard under the tree."

The crowd was laughing as Lee-Ann handed me my putter. I said, "I have to
take a swing with it. Lets hope it comes out the other side." Brandy said,
"You're 6 under par. Take a risk."

Lee-Ann got the crowd cheering for me and I took a full swing with the putter
and hit it solid. The ball flew out the other side of the tree, bounced in
the ruff, and then rolled on  the green a few feet from the pin. I demolished
the putter on the tree and it was so bent it was worse than a banana. I held
it up and everyone was laughing. Lee-Ann said, "Mom, you should feel right at
home with this one now."

We walked to the green and I had a 3 foot putt for birdie as everyone was
clapping for me. Lee-Ann handed me the putter and it was so bent I couldn't
figure out how to hit the ball. I spotted my ball and Debbie putted first and
sank it as everyone was cheering. Brandy and Trisha finished up and then I
put my ball down and couldn't stop laughing as I held the putter. I finally
figured out how to make the blade swing straight and hit the ball. It rolled
real slow and fell in the cup and we all laughed our ass off. I gave the ball
and putter to a little girl watching as a souvenir, and then I filled in my
score and we went to hand in our scorecards.

Debbie had her arm over my shoulder and I said, "We all had a real good
round. Hey Lee-Ann, thanks for caddying. This was a blast. You still feel
okay to do it tomorrow?" She said, "Mom, you're stuck with me for this
tournament."

We turned in our scorecards and the director of the tournament had his eyes
bugged out for a few seconds and said, "Good rounds."  Jim was walking by and
said, "How did you shoot today?" I said, "Debbie and I are 7 under par and
Brandy and Trisha are both 6 under. We played good and laughed so much my
sides hurt." He said, "That's great. My wife and daughter still haven't stop
talking about your show last week. You all made such an impression on them."
I said, "We'll get you tickets for the next concert."

We all went into the locker room and put our spikes and the clubs away, and
then went into the clubhouse to get some lunch and beer. So many players were
introducing themselves to us, and we recognized a few of them. One said, "One
hell of a first round in the LPGA. I hope it was just luck." We told them
about what happened to my putter and they place was in stitches. Debbie said,
"We better go get you another one now." We went into the pro shop and bought
another one exactly the same. They put it with my clubs for tomorrow.

Debbie and I lit cigarettes as we sipped our beer waiting for our lunch. They
kids were with Barb, Trisha and Brandy on the other side of the room looking
at the scores. Lee-Ann came back with Caryn and they sat down and Lee-Ann
said, "No one is even close to you. You and Debbie were 7 under for a 63.
This is a par 70 course, not a 72. The next best score other than Brandy and
Trisha is a 67 so far. Linda and Mandy are still on the course though."

Our lunch was delivered and all of us ate and then Linda and Mandy walked in.
Linda ran over to me and said, "65. You beat me?" I said, "Yup, but only by
two strokes. I was so lucky. Debbie tied me, and Brandy and Trisha are one
back."

They joined us for lunch and a few beers as and we got our tee times for
tomorrow, which were late. All of us partied almost all night at the hotel
and were so totally out of control. Lee-Ann picked up four guys in the bar
and brought them up to our rooms and all of us fucked they into a coma.
Debbie and I fell asleep at 4 in the morning to wake up at 9:30 to the alarm.
We all looked like zombies at breakfast and I said, "We have to play golf
today? Oh shit." Mandy was still a little drunk and we were cracking up.
Linda was feeding her toast and making her drink more coffee.

We took a limo to the course and the kids were dragging. Lee-Ann said, "We're
caddying. Don't say a word about it." We smiled as we went to the range. All
of us loosened up and started to feel better. I couldn't look up as I felt
like puking and Debbie was laughing her ass off. I hit a wedge shot on the
range and looked at the ground as she told me where it landed and laughed.
Lee-Ann couldn't stop laughing about it.

Linda and Mandy were a total piss. They were both still a little drunk and so
funny. We watched them tee off with two other players and walk down the
fairway smacking each other's ass and we were dying.

When they announced us the cheering was loud and we all were hung over. Lee-
Ann had them cheer louder and Debbie said, "Oh please, not today." We played
pretty good. Debbie laughed on every short iron shot I hit because I couldn't
look up the whole front nine, as I would have puked. I hit a lob wedge on the
8th hole and I was starring at the ground. Debbie said, "You can look at the
green honey. The ball hit the flag and went in for an eagle." I said, "No
shit."

We finished our round and handed in our scorecards. Debbie and I were 3 under
par today and Brandy and Trisha were 4 under, so we we're tied for the
tournament. Linda and Mandy were sitting outside and waiting for us and I
said, "How do you feel?" Linda said, "Horrible, but we both were 5 under
today." I said, "All six of us are tied. I couldn't look up the first nine
holes. I felt like puking."

We avoided the crowds, did our clubs and spikes, got our tee times, and all
went to the hotel. We had a light dinner and all conked out.

The next day we were back to our usual lunatic selves, and Debbie and I were
teeing off last with Linda. Mandy, Trisha, and Brandy were in the group ahead
of us. The place was jammed packed with people, almost like one of our
concerts and Lee-Ann got them cheering for us as we played. We had a total
blast with Linda and the kids and played great. Debbie got a chance to hit
one of our trick shots we did in the movie. She landed behind a tree and hit
a hug slice facing back towards the tee box and the ball literally went in a
complete U and landed on the green. I gave her a high five and she said,
"Three!" The crowd went nuts. We had them cheering for us when we putted and
even Linda had them do it too, as she was getting use to it now also.

Our kids were so funny, and they really did entertain the fans. We loved it.
They also were posing so sexy for the TV cameras we were dying.  Debbie,
Linda, and I all shot a 63, tied at 7 under par for the day. Mandy watched us
putt out on 18 and said, "6 under. You have us by one stroke. The press is
dying to interview all of us."

We turned in our scorecards and then did the interviews with the kids and it
was funny. The reporter said, "Is this easier than racing cars?" Lee-Ann
yelled out, "Safer! We were scared to death every time they raced at 240
miles an hour like lunatics. Out here they can't get hurt unless they crash a
golf cart." The report was smiling as I said, "It's definitely harder, but a
lot of fun." We all answered questions for about 15 minutes. When the camera
was off the reporter said, "Linda, you and Mandy look terrific. I swear you
look ten years younger." Mandy said, "Thanks Bill. We decided to take a
vacation to a health spa, did the diet thing and changed our hair a little.
We feel great too." The reporter smiled and said, "Play good tomorrow."

We did the locker room thing, and then went into the clubhouse. We lit
cigarettes and ordered a beer, as the players were all congratulating us on
our rounds today and Debbie on her movie shot. One player said, "Those shots
in the movies were real, weren't they?" I said, "It took us forever to
practice some of them to be able to do it on film. The only two that were on
the first take is when Debbie hit the groundhog and I sank a putt with a
banana putter. Those were classics." They were talking about all of the wacky
shots from the movies and one of them said, "Brandy, you hit a ball that was
on a dog?" She said, "It was a stuffed dog. I didn't have the heart to take a
divot on a real one." Everyone was starting to realize just how nutty we were
as we were talking about some of the screw-ups that happened while we filmed
those movies. They started talking about my football helmet present after
Debbie hit me with a putter in the head.

That night Debbie and I made love for over three hours with the golf sex
toys. We were so nuts sometimes.

The final round was funny as hell. Debbie and I were in the last group as a
twosome and our kids were as funny as it gets. They had the fans laughing at
every hole. We were keeping score but really weren't paying any attention to
it. I knew we were low, but we didn't add it up. At the tenth hole we saw the
leader board and Debbie said, "No shit. We're both 6 under already?" I added
up my card and she added hers and she said, "Damn. Lets race to the finish
line honey."

The TV cameras were on us and the reporters were eating it up as Lee-Ann had
the crowd cheer for us when we teed off. Debbie and I were paying attention
now and we did try to beat each other. I got so lucky on the 16th hole. It's
a par three and my 7 iron shot hit the back of the bunker and bounced
straight left. It hit the flagstick hard, and went into the hole. I fell over
laughing on the tee box. As Lee-Ann said, "I don't believe it." Debbie
birdied the hole and I was up by one.

We both birdied 17 and then it was only 18 left. The crowd on the hole was
solid people from the edge of the rough into the woods. It was amazing. The
entire place cheered when we teed off and we both started to laugh as we hit
the ball. I was in the left rough and Debbie was in the right side rough. I
said, "It serves us right for letting people cheer. Hell, it's still fun."
Lee-Ann and Caryn doubled their dollar bet and Debbie said, "You know
something I don't?"

Debbie hit first as the crowd was screaming, and she hit an 8 iron that was
right on the money. We saw it land a few feet from the pin. We walked up to
my ball on the other side of the fairway and Lee-Ann hand me a 9 iron. I
said, "I like the smaller one better on this hole." She was laughing and
said, "You trying to loose? I have two bucks on this hole."

I hit the pitching wedge and stuck it right next to Debbie as the roar from
the crowd sounded like one of our concerts. Lee-Ann gave me a high five and
we walked up the fairway to the green.

Debbie was about a foot further away than me and she said, "This is a must
make shot." We both read our putts walking around the green. She put her ball
back down and picked up her spot and said, "Go home ball. You like it in the
cup." Everyone was laughing when she hit it and it went in. She did a little
dance like we do on stage and the crowd roared. I said to her, "This is the
first time I have ever been nervous in my entire life."

I put my ball down and didn't wait at all. I hit it hard and it hit the back
of the cup and fell in. I went wild running around the green and jumped up
and hugged Debbie. Then I hugged Lee-Ann and Caryn. They were all laughing at
me and Debbie put her arm on my shoulder and said, "Lets go celebrate your
victory honey. You played great."

We signed our scorecards and I was walking on air. Just like our first
concert. Everyone congratulated me and Debbie also, as we went to the
winner's presentation. Brandy said, "You played fantastic Kate. You really
earned this one." She hugged me and so did Trisha. Linda and Mandy were still
laughing and hugged me too. I said to Debbie, "My hands are still shaking. I
can't believe it. What a rush this is." She smiled and nodded her head as I
walked to the podium.

The director of the tournament made a speech and congratulated me. He said,
"I'd say this was one terrific first tournament. 63, 67, 63, and a 61. 26
strokes under par. Wow! Kate, you amazed us and we were expecting you to win
after what you did in the LPGA qualifying tournament. We loved watching you
and your friends play. It was golf at it's best."

He gave me the trophy and I kissed it. Everyone clapped and then I made a
speech and said, "This is the first time I have ever been nervous in my
entire life. I was shaking when I made that last putt. I didn't bat and eye
driving a racecar almost 300 miles an hour, but this scared the crap out of
me on the final hole. It was addicting beyond belief and I hope all of the
others get a chance to feel what it's like also. This trophy is going in
front of the Grammy's, CMA's, Oscars, and NASCAR trophies. I really had to
earn it. Thank you very much for the kind words and we'll see everyone on the
course this season."

The TV reporters interview me and I dragged Debbie over with me and she said,
"You almost missed it." We were both laughing as I nodded. We gave an
interview as the kids were signing autographs and the TV reporter was
laughing about it. He said, "They going to caddy for you all year?" I said,
"Probably not. They were dying to watch us play in a tournament and these
were the best front row seats."

Lee-Ann walked over with a golf ball and said, "Can you sign it mom? It's for
that little girl over there." I was so touched as the girl was in a wheel
chair and Debbie and I walked over and talked to her and we signed the golf
balls. Her mother was crying when we both hugged the girl and she said to me,
"Thank you so much. She loves your music." The TV reporter said into the mic,
"This is why everyone says that Kate Rogers and Debbie Austin have hearts of
gold. This is more important to them that the tournament. God bless both of
them."

We never finished the interview and signed autographs for people and talked
to the fans. Then we joked around for almost an hour by the clubhouse with
people. Debbie said, "I think we need to get these spikes off and I need a
cigarette." I said, "Me too." Brandy and Trisha were still signing autographs
as I said, "We're going into pack up the clubs for the plane. We'll meet you
inside the clubhouse."

The kids carried our stuff inside and Lee-Ann said, "You were so good out
there this week. Both of you played terrific. Don't you ever fuck up?" I
said, "Lots of times. We just get lucky and it doesn't show." We packed up
everything and the kids went outside again and Debbie and I went into the
clubhouse to have a beer and cigarette.

Linda and Mandy were sitting at a table and they saw us and stood up waving.
We walked over and they hugged us again and I said, "That was such a rush of
adrenalin on that last putt. Much better than car racing." Linda said, "It
happens to all of us when we win." I lit a cigarette and so did Debbie as
Linda ordered us two beers. I took a deep drag and blew out the smoke as
Linda said, "All of us get to keep our tour cards for one more year. We just
earned enough money." Debbie took a drag of her cigarette and said, "This was
really fun. I loved playing in the tournament. Imagine how low our scores
would have been if we didn't play half drunk and hung over?" We were cracking
up.

Mandy said, "I was actually seeing two of everything for the first two holes
that round. I can't believe how much I drank or how many times we fucked
those guys. We wore them out." I smiled and said, "We always wear out the
guys."

We had a snack at the clubhouse and talked to all of the players as they were
leaving, and then we went to the airport and flew home. Debbie and I had the
most outrageous sex with Lee-Ann and Caryn we ever had. Lee-Ann was busting
my chops saying, "Mom, now that you're a famous golfer, you get me so hot."
We played roles like we were in a movie and I was totally out of my mind.
Debbie and I ate each other out until we fell asleep with our faces on each
other's thighs.

The next day Linda and Mandy called us and we made plans for the next
tournament we were going to play in and we also invited them to our next gig.
Mandy said, "You need to buy a backup set of clubs incase you trash one
again." I called Titalist and said, "Hi. We want to order 8 sets of clubs
that are the same as the ones you made for us before." I read him the serial
numbers and the rep was laughing and said, "Is this Kate?" I said, "It sure
is." He said, "You registered those clubs in 2011. We stopped making them in
2012. That's 32 years ago. If you really want them it's going to be very
expensive." I said, "Cost doesn't matter. Just ship them to me as soon as you
can." He verified my address and I gave him a credit card.


CHAPTER 41 - THE UNTHINKABLE


We played 16 tournaments that year with Linda and Mandy and we were so
addicted to golf. Our kids caddied the next tournament for us, and then Lee-
Ann said, "Mom, my back is fucking killing me carrying those clubs. How about
we just come and watch you play?" I smiled and said, "I told you that last
time too. Of course honey. Help me hire us some caddies." The kids hired us
the biggest hunks they could find so we could be entertained at night. Linda
was drooling while we warmed up at the range the first time they carried our
bags. We made it a tradition that we all get fucked after the final round.

We all have had wins this year and the nervousness never went away, even
after the second and third win. When Debbie beat Linda in a sun death playoff
they were both shaking on the putts. Even Brandy was shaking when she won by
8 strokes. She set a new record for the lowest four rounds ever in a
tournament and she said after getting the trophy, "The hole looked like it
was the size of a large bucket. I couldn't miss if I had tried to this week."
She shot two rounds of 60.

When the golf season was over, there was a lot of political unrest again in
the Middle East and it was getting serious. It was on the news non-stop and
Jack called all of us together for a meeting at our house. He said, "I know
you may think that I'm being a nut case, but I think that 20 million dollars
is not unreasonable to guarantee our survival, if some asshole pushes the
button." We all voted on his plan and we all agreed with it. We stock piled
300 years worth of the soap, 50 years worth of canned goods and survivalist
foods, and added an addition to our house with an additional 67 bedrooms,
plus a bomb shelter under the basement and a vault. We had the construction
done 24 hours a day and it was finished in 40 days, and then we had it filled
with the supplies and a laundry list of things from Jack.

Harry and Victor were scared shitless about what was going on in the world,
and we postponed making our new movie. They moved in with us also, and so did
most of our friends, until things calmed down. Harry wanted to add a security
system around the property and I actually agreed to do it. Debbie said, "I
never thought I say this, but yeah. Lets do it."

In January of 2046, the political aggressions turned to violence. All of us
watched the news all day, every day, and cancelled everything we had going.
The violence was escalating fast, and we watched a speech by President
Chelsea Jackson address the nation on our five full wall system TVs. She
said, "My fellow Americans. I'm not going to lie to you. The situation is
very serious in both the Middle East and in Asia. I have issued an order for
all Americans to leave those countries immediately, as we believe they are in
grave danger. Diplomacy has failed to produce any results, and today things
escalated even further. At 10am Easter Standard time, 20 dirty bombs, each
with one kiloton of explosive, were detonated in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in
Pakistan. We hope the aggressions stop, but we all fear the worse. I am
asking that all of you pray with me, that calmer heads will prevail. If
things escalate one more level, or any of our people are threaten by this act
of war, we are prepared to strike back in a way that will end this forever.
God help us."

Debbie was cuddling with me, and so were Lee-Ann and Caryn. We were scared
shitless. So was everyone else. Jack gathered all of us into one room and he
said, "I hoped like hell I was wrong and we never have to use what we stock
piled, but we're ready. I say that we arm the security system and leave it on
from now on." I said, "I agree. This could get very ugly. We all saw that
news report yesterday about what will happen if someone starts a nuclear
war." Debbie armed the system and explained to everyone how to turn it off if
we have to go out.

Debbie and I went to bed with Lee-Ann and Caryn and we lay in bed talking
about how fucked up the world was. I lit a cigarette and Debbie was rubbing
my shoulders as I blew out a plume of smoke. I said, "That feels good honey.
I'm such a wreck right now." She was rubbing my shoulders as Lee-Ann turned
on the TV in the bedroom using the remote and we were watching the war on the
satellite system from a station in London. It was about 11 at night as I
finished my cigarette and then I rubbed Debbie's shoulders. She made an
"mmmmmm" sound and said, "That feels great baby."

Lee-Ann was rubbing Caryn's shoulders also and the TV turned to loud snow.
Lee-Ann changed the stations and then put on a US based station. In about 4
minutes the whole house started to shake and rumble like when we were in the
avalanche. Debbie said, "Holy fuck. Is it an  earthquake?" We watched the TV
shaking and the pictures on the walls, and then the emergency broadcast alert
flashed on the TV. Debbie said, "Oh my God!" We all panicked, got dressed in
seconds, and ran downstairs.

Debbie turned on one of the full wall systems as everyone was coming into the
room. The room started shaking again, and then again, as the TV was beeping
high pitched sounds. A voice came over the air, "This not a test. I repeat,
this is not a test. This is the emergency broadcast system." We all panicked
and heard, "At approximately 11:37 pm Eastern Standard Time, multiple nuclear
warheads were detonated in Iraq, Afghanistan, England, France, Pakistan,
India, China, and Australia. Please stay tuned for further information."

The message repeated itself about 30 times as we were all in shock. Debbie
lit a cigarette and lit one for me too as we sat in the couch. She looked at
me and said, "I guess golf today is totally out of the question." For some
reason we all started to laugh. We were all scared shitless and just laughed.

The TV got a picture back and a reporter who was visibly shaken said, "Are we
one yet? Okay. The earthquake we all felt in the United States was the result
of the detonation of the blasts. California has been declared a disaster
area, as this has trigged a magnitude 11.7 quake on the San Andres fault
line. At this time we have very limited information and will pass it along as
soon as we know anything. The President will address the country over this
emergency broadcast system in 20 minutes. Please do not turn off your
televisions or Radios." He went on to explain what they knew and Jack said,
"Those idiots. Thank God we have all of those fireplaces and the wood."

We listened to the President tell us what happened. She said, "Today, the war
escalated to the point no other war has ever reached. They blew themselves to
hell along with millions of innocent people. We will survive this together!
But, it will be difficult for everyone. My advisors tell me that it is going
to get very cold for a while and we may not see the sun for quite some time.
It's the fallout and debris in the atmosphere called nuclear winter. Please
make provisions to stay as warm as you can. We do not know how long
electricity will be available, but we will be working around the clock to
keep all essential services on. Please use light powered radios and TVs just
in case. As of this morning, January 23, 2046, the stock markets will be
closed, and remain closed until further notice by Presidential decree. Please
do not run to the banks to withdraw your money. It will just make a bad
situation even worse. The National Guard in all 50 states will be handing out
supplies for as long as we can. Godspeed."

The reporter came back on and Jack said, "Turn it down. Let me tell you
what's going to happen and what we have to do now. Fortunately it's not that
cold outside this year. Within a week the sky will be as black as it is right
now during the day and it's going to get very cold. I wouldn't be surprised
if it hits 10 below here."

Jack talked to us for about a half hour and then we all had a list of things
we each had to do. We finished around 8 in the morning and then we started a
food ration program that he wrote out. We all ate good, but no pigging out.

For the first week we were all glued to the TVs, except of course for the
time we had sex. Maybe we were different than everyone else because we were
prepared for it, but we spent a lot of time totally goofing off, telling
jokes, playing instruments, and singing. On the following Monday morning,
exactly one week since the bombs went off, we woke up in the morning and it
was totally pitch black outside at 9 AM. We went downstairs for breakfast and
Jack said, "It's here. Ignore what the reporters are saying about radiation.
All of the tests that I did show that we will not get sick from it as long as
we use the soap."

We watched the news and they were giving instructions to people and then they
showed how people were getting sick from it already.

The next 3 months was horrible as we were watching what was happening to the
rest of the world. It was between zero and ten below everyday in Nashville,
and it snowed almost everyday or night. We couldn't tell which was which,
without looking at a clock. The electricity went out a few times and then
came back on. We watched the news of how it was out for good from New York
and North as it hit 50 below there. Florida was the same temperature as us,
and so was most of Mexico. South America was a tropical paradise at about 15
degrees.

We all had our routine of keeping the wood burning in the fireplaces as a
backup to the heating systems in the house, which were not made to heat a
house this large when it's that cold outside. We all used the thermal four
person sleeping bags at night on our beds and it was actually kind of fun.
The first time we slept in them, Lee-Ann said to me, "Alaska. How about Caryn
and I make love to you both all night?" We did, and it was great.

On the fourth month, the telephones and cell phones died, and only one local
television station was still on the air. Satellite service had been dead
since the blast.  Jack had a short wave set in the sub-basement shelter and
used it to communicate to people around the country. He said to us, "We have
a full television system and long range transmitter here and we have
permission to broadcast, if you want too. It may be fun as it will kill the
time."

It seems that music has always been Debbie and my savior. We started a daily
TV show on the other major stations that we broadcast from our living room
every day at 3 in the afternoon. We all played and sang. Lee-Ann and Caryn
wrote some new tunes along with us and Mary and Beth, and we entertained
anyone that was watching. We didn't even know if anyone could see us, but it
passed the time and we had fun. Our generators kicked on at least once a week
when the electricity died, so we knew some people couldn't see our show.

Debbie and I did a funny monologue on every show and we had everyone in the
house laughing for at least 10 minutes a day. It was terrific therapy. Jack
also did a "Doctor's in the House Report" to help anyone who was sick or
injured. He was so good at it.

We did our Christmas special on our broadcast and we all cried.

Exactly one year almost to the day, we saw the sun again. We cheered louder
than any crowd ever did at our concerts. The snow was over 8 feet deep but we
didn't care. We all went outside through an upstairs window and played in it
like little kids. We did our TV broadcast and Debbie started it with the
weather report. She said, "Today it will be light outside and stop snowing.
Now that's a first!" Then she gave her top ten reasons of why it was better
when it was dark all the time. I laughed my ass off.

The temperature warmed up fast and the snow melted and caused everything to
flood. Our house was fine, but our back yard looked like a huge lake as far
as we could see from the veranda. The water was running out the front
driveway into a river that was once our street.

We still did our TV show everyday and we did a special on swimming in your
back yard. We actually shot us all swimming in our back yard. The water was
still half ice and we froze. Lee-Ann screamed, "Alaska!"

In two weeks the water was all gone and we went into the garage, which stayed
dry. All of the guys did such a great job of preparing the cars. They changed
the fluids from stuff we bought before hand, and had five of the larger cars
running. Debbie and I took one out for a ride around with Victor and Harry.
They had two guns with them just in case, and we were definitely not prepared
for what we saw. The floods washed away a lot of the city and there were
bodies everywhere.  We saw a lot of people alive and they were waving at us.
I pulled over and Harry said, "Kate, I don't like this. Get ready to floor it
if you have too."

I rolled down the window and four people came over to the car and a woman
said, "Kate, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for being on TV
everyday and being the only thing that let us keep our sanity. How are all of
you?" I said, "We survived it. How about all of you here?" She said, "Thanks
to you, we're going to be just fine. Please don't stop your show yet.
Everyone watches it. We have a short wave and talked to people all over the
country. They loved your show. Even the President was laughing at Debbie's
top ten list of why it should stay dark." I said, "Do you need any supplies?"
She said, "We're good and thanks for asking."

We drove around and it was the same thing everywhere. Harry said, "We were
the only thing to watch for 8 months. Too bad we couldn't charge them." We
all were cracking up as I pulled into the driveway and to the garage.

Everyone was waiting for us to get out of the car and I said, "It's not
pretty, but our show is the hit of the world right now. Everyone watched it
everyday and people asked us to keep broadcasting."

We did the show that day and talked about going outside into Nashville, what
we saw, and the people we talked to. Debbie told everyone we saw Noah where
his arch crashed into a parking deck and then we had a very funny discussion
on the air about how we could make money from this show. Brandy says, "Is
money still worth anything?" We both smacked her.

When the show went off the air we all were laughing as usual and the phone
rang. Jack said, "I don't believe it." He answered it and said, "Yes it is."
"It was such a pleasure to hear the phone ring. I'll put you on speaker so
everyone call hear you." Jack pushed the speaker button and we heard, "Hi
Kate. Hi Debbie. This is the President Jackson. I can't thank you enough for
what you did for everyone. Your show helped everyone through the worst thing
that has ever happened to the world. We're working on getting the regular
television stations back on the air now, but please don't stop yet. You gave
people hope and let them laugh in the worst nightmare anyone us has ever been
through. Tell me the details of how bad Nashville is."

Harry and Victor were telling her everything and what we saw. She said, "It's
like that everywhere. It's going to take a long time for things to ever get
back to any degree of normalcy. Europe, the Middle East, and Asia is
basically gone. We're it along with South America and maybe some of Mexico."
We talked for a long time and then I asked her if I could put her on hold for
minute. I said to our group, "Should we tell her about the soap. There aren't
many people left. Maybe we can avoid our own extinction." We voted and it was
unanimous to tell her and make it available to anyone.

I pushed the hold button and I said, "We are going to tell you a wild story
that is all true. It's what allowed us to survive, stay looking young
forever, and never get sick. We want to share it with all of those left alive
now." We told her the story and Jack went into details about it and exactly
what it does to your body. I said, "If you have access to a helicopter, you
can land on our property and we'll give you the formulas, and samples for
your scientists to manufacture." She said, "I'll be there tomorrow about noon
by Army trucks. We can't fly yet as the aircraft haven't been repaired. I'd
love to appear on your show and address the nation. Everyone will be watching
your station." I said, "You're welcome to stay here as long as you want. We
have plenty of room." She said, "Thank you. I may just do that for a few
days."

We hung up and Jack helped us make copies of all of the formulations notes
and instructions. I said, "How did you know we'd need a copier?" He said, "I
was determined to spend all 20 million." We were cracking up as Debbie made a
copy of her ass cheeks.

That night it was like a large weight was lifted off our chests. Debbie and I
were our normal selves again and so nuts. We made love for 4 hours after we
had long talk with Gizmo and Spike about staying in their beds when the
President was here.  We laughed and at each other and then were totally into
one orgasm after the other. At 1 in the morning, Debbie lit a cigarette. She
took a deep drag and blew out the smoke saying to me, "Think we can convince
her to help us open a golf course?" I was laughing and Debbie said, "Come on
Kate. It's not that weird. Is it?"

The next morning we had breakfast around 11 o'clock and then waited for the
President. Debbie and I had a cigarette and a cup of coffee on the outside
veranda and it was so nice sitting outside. We were joking around and then
saw a bird fly and land on the railing. We both were smiling as Lee-Ann
yelled outside, "They're here."

We walked inside and the President walked up to us and hugged us both and
said, "Call me Chelsea. Formalities are long gone. This is Jeff. He drove me
here." He shook our hands and said, "We love your show. How do you write it
every day?" Everyone was cracking up and Harry said, "Write it? They could
never follow a script. This is all adlibbed."

We showed her around the house and she said, "My God. This is bigger than the
White House." I said, "We suspected something was going to happen so we had
the place expanded and had all of our family and friends stay here with us.
Feel like loosing a few years in a warm bath?" She said, "You have hot
water?" I said, "We have well water and have our own generators for the
pumps. It's clear and clean." She said, "I'll definitely take that bath." We
prepared a bath for her and explained the soaps. I said, "Just relax and let
it do its stuff. We'll come to get you before we go on the air at 3."

We went downstairs and talked to Jeff about the rest of the United States. He
was a General and said, "It's really bad. All of the National Guard, Army,
Air Force, and Navy are regrouping now. Washington is demolished for the most
part. 36 feet of snow crushed most buildings and then the flood took care of
the rest of it. It looks like the new snow line is about 50 miles north of
New York City. It's still below freezing there. We think the blast changed
the tilt of the earth's axis. California is gone from the fault line west.
That's the new coastline now. We should be able to get aircraft in the air by
this week and get a much better picture of what's left. Chelsea lost her
husband and daughter. They didn't get out of Washington in time. She's over
it now, and your show really help her hold it together." Debbie said, "I
guess getting a golf course open is totally out of the question."

Everyone was cracking up and Jeff smiled as he said, "Yeah, for a little
while anyway. I'm a golfer too and I'll be right behind you teeing off." We
made him a drink and he said, "Booze? Oh, we're staying here." Harry gave him
a Cuban cigar and they were instant buddies.

We talked and joked around and then Debbie and I went to get Chelsea out of
the bath. She was getting dressed and said, "I feel great!" I said, "Look in
the mirror." She looked at her reflection and smiled at us saying, "It works.
I wasn't sure if you were kidding or not. Do your normal show and make people
laugh and then introduce me. I'd like to announce the soap to give everyone
some hope."

We went downstairs and the President sat on one of the couches with Jeff and
we saw him smoking a cigar with a drink and she said, "I'll definitely take a
drink and a cigarette if you have any." We gave her a pack and a gin and
tonic. She was in heaven as we started our show.

Debbie started the show telling about how nice our breakfast was sitting
outside today and that we saw a single bird land on the railing. Then she
said, "I had a long conversation with that stupid bird. He asked me for
directions to Iraq so I shot him." We laughed so hard, and then I started our
monologue. We had Chelsea in stitches and then Darla, Tammy, and Danica came
up with us and did a few songs. Jack did his "Doctor's in the house " report
and ended it with, "This will be my last report. Once you hear what we are
about to announce you'll understand why. It's the best news of the century."

I said, "We have a special guest with us today, who is alive and doing just
fine. The President of the United States, Chelsea Jackson." We all clapped
for her and she sat where we were before. She was such a good speaker. She
spoke for about a half hour about what happened and said, "There is hope.
Yesterday, Kate and Debbie shared with me their secret for staying young and
never getting sick. It really is the fountain of youth and is in the form of
a soap. It gets absorbed through your skin as you wash everyday. It will take
us a while to be able to produce it again, but we will, and it will be free
to everyone. You will be able to live long enough to see the country built
back up to where it once was, and never have to worry about being sick ever
again. Now I'll let you see the two incredibly funny and talented, special
people that you wanted to see. Kate and Debbie." We did our ending joke
session and had everyone laughing and then we said, "We'll see everyone
tomorrow."

We went off the air and Chelsea was laughing and managed to say, "You shot
the fucking bird?" We were all laughing again and then we took her out to the
back veranda and she saw the birds returning to our yard. We all cried.

 . . . . . . . . . . . .

It took months before anything was back to being even close to normal.
Chelsea and Jeff moved in with us and she used the television station and our
show to tell people exactly what was going on. The real television stations
were all still out because they were all broadcast from transmitters in New
York and LA. Both were destroyed. Our system was a brand new one that Jack
bought for 2 million. Chelsea and Jeff were also very much in love and she
said to me, "Don't you dare tell anyone that we've been at it for 6 years."

We found four other new television transmitters than were in working
condition and one network set up shop in Nashville. We now had a real station
to watch and then ours of course, but only for 2 hours a day now.

We got our soap factory back up and operating and surprisingly, the flowers
all survived the ice even through they were frozen solid. The owners of the
facility were all gone, and Chelsea said, "This is now an official US
government factory. Lets put the Army to work since we won't be having any
more wars." Within a month they were distributing the soaps to everyone and
we gave instructions on the TV show.

Gasoline was interesting. It came out that there was an alternative fuel all
along and that the gas companies kept it hidden. It was being produced now
also, and the gas stations were opening up with the armed forces manning
them. It was free, and based on water with some very cheap to make additive.
The Ferrari ran better on it than it ever did. They also had an alternative
to oil, and that was being manufactured now too.

With the phone system fully operational again, we were getting calls from
friends all over who watched our shows. Most of the LPGA players called and
they were fine as most lived in Florida. They all told us we were totally
nuts but loved the show. We all wanted to play golf again and Jeff was
working on getting a course open for us.

We realized that some things would be years before they were back to normal.
The National Guardsmen that survived were clearing the debris from the cities
and burring the dead in mass graves. We were all numb to it until we saw some
people that we knew being buried. Then it really sank in.

Chelsea said, "Harry, you, Victor, Margi, and Carrie are now in charge of
entertainment. Make it happen." They were almost ready to mass produce CDs
again.

The Internet was gone, most of the car manufacturing facilities, public
transportation, and the airlines. We let our horses go the day after the
blast and we found them wandering in our backyard and brought them to our
stables. We have no idea how they survived or how they found their way back.
We ride them now to most places instead of driving.

Exactly 5 months after the sun came out, a whole section of the town opened
again for shopping. We celebrated when one of the stores that opened was a
liquor store. We waited outside as a truck of booze was delivered and
everyone clapped. It wasn't the good stuff, but at this point no one cared.
Debbie and I got totally trashed and fucked for hours.  Chelsea came into our
room plastered, got in bed with us, and we made her totally nuts. Debbie kept
saying to her, "Madam President, would you care to lick my pussy?" Chelsea
was moaning and laughing for hours. Jeff was passed out in their bedroom and
didn't have a clue what she was up too.

We kept up our show on TV everyday and the next day Chelsea was still drunk
and insisted on going on the air. Debbie and I made it into a funny skit so
everyone would think it was a joke and then Chelsea said, "Starting today I
am declaring myself officially a bi-sexual woman who is so tired of being a
closet queen. Your President is as gay as you two are." She kissed us both on
the mouth and everyone in the house was cracking up watching. Debbie said,
"That was our President enjoying a much needed break in the action, with four
bottles of Gin we gave her last night. I think she's going to regret this day
for a long time. Now for my top ten reasons to be bi-sexual. Madam President,
would you like to add one also?" We all died laughing as she past out and
Debbie said, "Hey, wake up! That wasn't in the script."


CHAPTER 42 - VISITORS COME TO HELP


After six months things were starting to get better. Debbie and I were in bed
having sex with Chelsea and Jeff in the morning, when we heard a huge
rumbling noise that sounded like a hundred jet engines over the house. We
jumped up and looked out the windows and Chelsea said, "Oh my God! Get
dressed!"

We dressed in seconds and ran downstairs as everyone was running towards the
rear of the house and looking out through the windows. Chelsea said, "It has
to be an alien space craft. We have nothing that big or than can hover like
that. How big do you think it is?" Debbie said, "Strong four iron, about 210
yards across." Jeff said, "You two are so fucking sick. That's 630 feet."

We watched the craft hover as 10 long cylinders were starting to protrude
from the bottom, and then it slowly landed on them in our backyard. We all
ran outside and Jeff had a gun. Chelsea said, "Put that away now in the
house. If they wanted to kill us, they wouldn't have landed like this." Jeff
went back inside and put the gun away and then came out with us.

We could see a doorway outline in one of the cylinders and Chelsea said,
"Lets walk over to it." Debbie and I had a cigarette as we waited and I said,
"Chelsea, feel like a bottle of Gin?" She said, "I made such an ass out of
myself. Lets hope no one was watching." I said,  "Yeah, they could have had
on any of the 789 other channels." She said, "Kate, you are such a wise ass.
Make me feel stupid again." We hugged her and she was grinning at us.

After about 20 minutes the doorway slid open and three people walked out
wearing what looked like a combination space suit and radiation suit. They
walked over to us and one said through a microphone in the suit, "We're here
to help. How can you survive with the radiation? If will make us sick if we
take off these suits." Jack said, "The radiation count is down to normal
levels here, and besides that, we have a cure for it. Today's reading was
less then one rad per hour." We couldn't see into the faces of the suits and
couldn't tell if the people were men or woman from the voices. The person
that spoke before was speaking in a different language to the others and they
turned around and went back into the ship. The person talking to us said,
"Help me take off the helmet. The others want to wait to make sure I don't
get ill before they come back out."

Debbie and I had to push two buttons as we twisted the helmet and Debbie
said, "Who's idea was it to make a child proof space suit." We took the
helmet off as the person was cracking up and turned out to be a beautiful
platinum blond. She said, "We complain about that all the time. My name is
Aleshia. We are very much like you, except we are about 100,000 years ahead
of you on the evolutionary scale." I said, "Come on inside."

She walked real slowly in the suit and we helped her up the stairs and then
she took it off on the veranda. She was wearing what looked like a silk suit
and said, "I hate wearing those things. We usually don't travel like this,
but we were afraid to travel our normal way in case the radiation was too
high. Your planet has been the hit of the galaxy for the last 18 of your
months. Notice I didn't say lunar months, because your moon is now somewhere
past Pluto traveling as an asteroid. What happened?"

Chelsea said, "Sit down and I'll tell you everything I know. I am Chelsea
Jackson, the President of the United States, which was the largest county on
this planet." She told a story that we never knew before and she said, "We
tried everything to stop it, but it was too late. We still don't know how
many people survived." Aleshia said, "According to our readings from the
ship, there are a little over 9 million living human life forms on the
planet. How many were here before the blast?" Chelsea said, "Several billion.
There were over 9 million in just one of our cities." They talked for a while
about where the people were located that survived and we were in the center
of it. Aleshia said, "We landed here because of your broadcast. Our computers
deciphered your language and we learned it in space in one of our knowledge
centers. Kate and Debbie, all of us loved your show. You two are as funny as
it gets and can sing like no one we have on our world."

We spent a few hours talking about how we survived and she told us about her
home. She said, "Tell me about your cure for radiation." Jack said, "This is
a lot more than a cure for radiation. How old are you and what is your
average life span?" She said, "I'm 96 years old, which is the same as 43 of
your earth years. We typically live to be about 90 in earth years. Why?" Jack
said, "How would you like to live to be the ripe old age of 1,000 and never
get sick?" She smiled and said, "No one has that drug. Every planet has been
trying to do that since the dawn of time. If you have it and share it with
our world, we will rebuild the inhabitable areas of your planet for you using
our advanced technology." I said, "Mind taking a 3 hour bath in warm water?
That's how the first treatment works. We produce it as a soap."

She called the others in the ship on her digital communicator on her wrist
and was speaking another language. We heard one of them sound like they were
laughing over the communicator and Aleshia was smiling as she turned it off.
She said, "I'll try it."

We took her upstairs and Jack said, "I'll put in the dosage. Don't worry, you
can't over dose on it. It's absorbed through your skin. Wash your hair with
the shampoo and then just lean back and relax as the drug does it's thing."
Aleshia undressed and we were all in shock. We starred at her wearing a 6
inch cock just above her clit. She smiled and said, "I guess I should have
warned you. This is what evolution will eventually do to your race. We only
have one sex on our world." Debbie and I looked at each other grinning and
had our eyes bugged out.

I said, "We'll come get you in a few hours. If you want to get out, just come
downstairs." She said, "Kate, you and Debbie stay here and talk to me. I
loved listening to your songs while we were in the ship." We talked about
what it was like where she lived and she said, "It's sort of like your world
before you blew it up. I volunteered for this mission as I thought I could
help people. I'm an athlete on our world. I play a game very similar to the
game you call golf." Debbie said, "We are going to be best friends." We told
her about our playing and she was so into it. I lit a cigarette and she said,
"What flavor is it?" I said, "Menthol. We don't have special flavors." She
took a drag of the cigarette and blew out the smoke as she said, "Wait until
I give you some of ours. Strawberry, grape, blueberry, and chocolate just to
name a few. We have plain ones like yours also."

We were gab-a-gailing with her and then we sang a few of our songs as she
said, "I love how you two sing." The time flew by and I said, "Time to get
out." We helped her up and she said, "We have a pill we use for people born
with birth defects missing a penis or vagina. It works overnight on the DNA
and produces the organs. It will work on you two if you want to take it.
Don't give me an answer now. We have plenty of time."

She looked in the mirror and said, "Wow! Wow! I'm young again." She got
dressed and we went downstairs where she called to her shipmates and they all
came into the house without the suits on.  Harry said, "Time for the show
Kate." Aleshia was telling the others about the bath and they wanted to watch
our show before they took one.

Debbie started our show with the top ten reasons for people from another
planet to visit us now. She said, "For starters, they can toast marshmallows
in Afghanistan without lighting a fire." She had a few ones that were a piss
and then her last one was, "Because they heard our show and decided to land
and pay us a visit. This isn't a joke. Everyone, this is Aleshia." We
introduced her and she was blushing. Harry and Victor showed the spacecraft
on the other camera and Aleshia said, "We actually came here to help rebuild
your planet. We loved this silly show and watched it every day from space as
we waited until the radiation was safe enough to land." She talked about
where she was from and then about how they would help us to rebuild our
cities using their technology.

We did our show with music and several adlibbed skits with the kids. We were
so nutty and it was funny as hell. Chelsea gave a speech and said, "We have
given Aleshia and her world the secret we gave all of you for a longer life
and she is giving us the technology we need to survive. They also told us
some very alarming things. There are only 9 million of us left and mostly in
this general area. Looks like we have a lot of work to do in repopulating the
human race."

We ended out show with all of us standing with Aleshia and the others,
waving. Aleshia was so excited about our soaps and took the other five people
to the bathrooms. Debbie put her arms around me and gave me a wet kiss and
then whispered into my ear, "Want to look like them? That has got to be hot
as hell."

After the others were in a bath also, Aleshia said to me, "This house is so
nice. We have nothing like this on our planet. It's huge. You want a tour of
our ship." I said, "We'd love it." We walked out back to the spacecraft and
we saw how Aleshia opened the door and then we went inside. The floor rose up
like an elevator and we walked into a chamber as Aleshia said,
"Decontamination. We don't need it." We followed her as she said, "This is
the flight deck." We had no clue what anything was as she explained some of
it. She said, "This is what allows us to travel faster than the speed of
light, which is really slow. We'll show you all of it in a few days. We can
travel across the galaxy at a blink of an eye. This spacecraft is actually
2,000 of your years old. No one uses them any more."

We toured the areas of the ship and we went into the medical sick bay and
Aleshia took out two pills, put them in a small case and said, "For you, if
you decide to take them. They will knock you out for about 6 hours so make
sure you're in bed." I said, "Any pain?" She said, "None."

We took her on a tour of our house and when we got to the music room she was
going crazy. She said, "What's that do? And that one? Is that a piano?" We
called the band together and I said, "Time to play electric again. Lets do a
song." Everyone came into the music room to listen and we tuned up the
guitars. Debbie said, "Yuck. We need to change the strings." I said, "Not
yet. No one is making new ones yet." Everyone was laughing at how horrible
the strings sounded. Val said, "Lets get the place rocking. `I Survived' on
4. 1,2,3,4." It felt strange, but sounded really good, except for the dead
strings.

We did some hard stuff in this one, and when we ended it Aleshia said, "We
have nothing like this on our planet. I love this music. Play another one."
We were playing as the others came from their bath into the room and they
were starring at us. My mom was dancing with Brenda and so were the kids, as
we played a rock boogie. We ended it and I said, "Lets talk to our new
friends for a while."

We turned off everything and introduced ourselves and they were smiling at us
as one said, "I'm Geneva and this is Adventis, Lauris, Dandy, and Willa. I
love your music. We've never heard anything like this before." I said, "Lee-
Ann, play a tune for them also." We stood and listened to Lee-Ann's band play
a song and then we went into the living room to sit and talk. I made them a
drink and they all tasted it. Aleshia said, "What is it?" Debbie said,
"Alcohol. It's called Gin and Tonic. Too much will make you drunk."

They were talking in their own language and Aleshia said, "We have the same
thing. We call it something else." Chelsea talked to them about how they
could help us as Jack made a copy of the formulations for the soap. He gave
Aleshia a package with all of it as she said, "Join us in the space craft
tomorrow and we'll show you how we can help. You won't believe how simple it
is with our technology."

We talked and they were funny as hell. Each one was in a different profession
and they volunteered to help us. Aleshia said, "On our world, every person
has to perform some volunteer work. We all signed up for this mission when we
saw the images of the blast on your planet." I said, "You saw it?" She said,
"Yeah, we'll show you on the ship tomorrow."

We showed them to bedrooms and Aleshia said, "We can sleep anywhere or in the
ship if you don't have room." Debbie said, "We have plenty of room." Debbie
was giving me the eye and holding the case of the pills in her hand and I was
smiling. Aleshia saw us and said, "I'll help you."

We took her to our bedroom with us and she said, "Take off all you cloths and
lay on your backs." We did it and she said, "When you wake up you will have a
hard on and that's normal. It means you have to pee. After you pee the first
time, you're ready to do whatever you want." Debbie and I kissed and then
both swallowed the pill. I was holding her hand as we passed out.

We both woke up with such a raging hard on and it hurt like hell. We ran into
the bathroom and I had to pee so bad. I pushed the hard on down and it
wouldn't go. Debbie was laughing and said, "Lets piss into the shower." She
both stood and pissed up into the air and it landed in the shower, as our
hardons went down. We were hysterically laughing and I said, "Lets try out
the new equipment."

Aleshia was still sleeping as Debbie and I cuddled and touched each other's
cocks for the first time. I felt so weird, but so good. Debbie kissed me and
we both got hard as a rock. We held each other's cock and she whispered into
my ear, "Fuck me now honey. I want you so much." I lay on top of Debbie and I
positioned my cock into her pussy and it slid in. I was kissing her and then
whispered into her ear, "This feels so good as I slide in and out of you." I
made my tail hop up and down as I pushed into Debbie and she hugged me and
kissed me. I didn't last 10 minutes until I went into convulsions. Me knees
got weak and bent, as I was shooting cum into her pussy. Debbie kissed me so
hard and kept moving her pussy on my hard on. I got soft and then was like a
rock again in minutes, as Debbie didn't miss a beat. I fucked her for almost
an hour and I loved it when she sat on my cock. I was going to cum again and
Debbie got off of me and sucked my cock into her mouth. Wow, did that feel
good. I almost fainted as I shot my cum into her tongue.

Debbie shared the cum with me and then I pulled her on top of me and she
pushed her cock into my wet pussy. I made her cum in my pussy in a few
minutes as she shook. I didn't stop and she was hammering into me again and
she lasted over an hour. I rode her like she did to me and we were so into
it. I got off and sucked her cock into my mouth and she held my head softly.
I felt her cock pulsate and then she blasted a surge of cum into my mouth. I
sucked as I bobbed my head up and down, swallowing Debbie's cum. I move to
lie on top of her in a 69 position and we ate each other's pussy and sucked
out the cum.

Debbie lit us each a cigarette and we just starred into each other's eyes. We
kissed and she said to me, "This is the best. Sorry Spike, you were just
replaced." I started to laugh and Debbie kissed me so we wouldn't wake up
Aleshia. We finished our cigarettes and then feel back to sleep.

Aleshia woke us up and said, "Time to go on our ship. How was it?" I said,
"This is by far the best thing ever. God knew what he was doing for once with
this change." She was smiling at us as we went to take a shower.

We dressed and our jeans felt really weird now. Aleshia said, "You need new
cloths. We have some you can have." We walked bow legged in the jeans
downstairs and Lee-Ann said, "What gives with the walk?" Debbie and I took
her and Caryn into the bathroom and I said, "Want to see a surprise?" We both
pulled down our pants and Lee-Ann said, "No shit!" Debbie said, "It's a pill
they have. You can take it too. There is nothing like it." Aleshia stuck her
head into the bathroom and said, "Put these on. They should fit." Debbie and
I put on the pants she handed us and they fit perfect. They also had a zipper
in the front covered by a material flap."

We ate breakfast and so did everyone else. Aleshia said, "Everyone want to
take a little sight seeing ride to tour what's left and see how we can help?"
All of us went into the spacecraft and sat in lounge style chairs. Aleshia
said, "Watch the large screens over the consoles." We watched as the craft
lifted off the ground and we didn't feel anything, as we were moving realty
fast, based on the screen. Aleshia said, "This is your city. Watch us clean
up the debris on that city block." She turned on something and a bight light
was on the city block and the stuff just vanished. Chelsea said, "How? Where
did it go? Was is disintegrated?" Aleshia said, "Transformed into dirt. Watch
us now take that same space and make a building out of it like the one on the
next block." She used something to scan the building and then focused it on
the dirt area as we watched a building materialize. Aleshia said, "That one
is an exact duplicate of the other one, using the dirt and debris matter to
form it. We call this process matter transformation. Let me show you how we
normally travel. It's based on the same principals. Anyone want to see our
planet? I can only take four at a time."

Everyone wanted me, Debbie, Chelsea and Jeff to go first. We stood in on a
platform and Aleshia said, "Just don't blink or you'll miss it." She pushed a
button and we stood still. We literally appeared in another room, without
even realizing we moved. Aleshia said, "Welcome to Tara, our home world." We
followed her out of the room and she said, "Hi Car. We're just visiting with
some of the people from Earth. You recognize them?" Car said, "Oh wow. We
loved your broadcast."

We got a 20 minute quick tour of an ultra modern city and it was amazing. She
said, "Lets go back so the other's can come here also." Going back to the
ship was instantaneous. Everyone watched us appear and Lee-Ann screamed, "How
was it?" I said, "Amazing."

The others took each group of five, so 25 were gone at one time, and then the
next group of 25. Everyone was in shock when they got back. Aleshia said,
"Before we take a tour of the dark side of your planet, watch the explosions
on the screen." She pressed a hologram display and it played the log of the
ship and then showed earth. It zoomed in and then we saw a massive explosion
and could actually see the shock waves going into space. We watched the earth
tilt and the moon fly out of orbit, and all of the satellites also. Then we
saw the planet being covered in a thick gray blanket of debris. Aleshia said,
"It's not pretty, but I thought you should see it. Now watch the screen as we
fly into the area. Even though it snowed everywhere, none of it stuck in
these areas, as it was so hot. It's still burning in two places."

She took us over Europe and it was a burnt out baron landscape. So was the
Middle East, which was glowing red in two spots. Geneva said, "That's the
planet's natural oil burning and it will probably stay like that for many
years." We flew over China, India, and Australia, and it was the same.
Everything was wiped out and what wasn't destroyed was all snow and ice. We
saw the California coastline and none of us recognized it, or America, as the
snowcaps were all different. Snow covered the great lakes completely. Aleshia
said, "Depressing isn't it. We were also sent here to make sure you never do
this again. It looks like the ones who did it are all gone anyway. That saves
us from doing something none of us wanted to do."

We flew back to our house and they landed in the backyard again. Aleshia said
to Chelsea, "Lets make a plan of how to rebuild this mess. Plus we need to
talk to any scientists and engineers about the power sources we will give
you. They are a lot safer and don't require a nuclear reaction."


CHAPTER 43 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

So much was accomplished in the next three months. Twelve of the major cities
were rebuilt using the Tara technology. Aleshia and Geneva were in charge of
that aspect of it. The others had hand-help matter transformers and clowned
machinery that we had that was working. We had two automotive plants up and
running, and hundreds of manufacturing facilities. They even got the
recording and music business back in business and Margi ran the company.

We spent some time on the spacecraft and learned how they knew our language
so well. There was a knowledge center, as Aleshia called it, and you just sat
in a reclining chair and select what you want to learn from a hologram screen
that was displayed in front of you. We couldn't read the language on it and
Aleshia said, "That's your first lesson." In 5 minutes we knew their language
like it was English and then spent two days learning everything we could
about their planet, and others. When we were done, Debbie said to me, "My
brain is so full of useless crap. Who cares about the crossing of the Madrid
Sea 95,000 years ago on Tara. I hate school." We made it into one of our
skits for the TV show and laughed so hard I almost wet my pants.

Aleshia used the scanners from the ship to find any human life they way have
missed from space and there were 100,000 people in Argentina. She learned the
language and explained to the leaders what happened and about us. They all
wanted to be part of America and Aleshia  rebuilt that area also. She also
found some human life in Africa and went to explore it with Geneva. They came
back and Aleshia said, "That one is off limits for a few years. They all have
radiation sickness and have turned into cannibals. Without the soap you have
they won't survive too much longer."

Probably the most cultural changing aspect of the new earth was when Aleshia
said, "You need a totally volunteer government, and a new way to enforce
laws. Our President wanted us to use our laws and technology to make sure
this never happens again. I think you'll like it. We only have 14 laws and
it's real simple. Murder is on top of the list of crimes. Here, read it." She
handed us the short list and it was real simple. Then she said, "This box is
what enforces it in a court, or a police station. Chelsea, lie to me about
something. Anything." Chelsea said, "I'm ten years old and I like baseball."
The box said to us, "Chelsea Jackson is 59 years old and dislikes baseball.
She has not told the truth. Shall I continue?" Aleshia said, "Please do." The
box said, "She is President of the United States of America on the planet
Earth, and the only sports that she enjoys are golf and tennis."

Chelsea said, "Lawyer, judge and jury all in one." Aleshia said, "And it
hands out the sentences too, which are very harsh. It will automatically send
people to our prison planet, which is the closest thing to hell there is. The
problem is solved!"

Everyone was so interested in our anatomy changes. Lee-Ann and Caryn slept
with us and then took the pill the next day also. It was so weird having
totally outrageous sex with Lee-Ann, especially when she fucked me and then I
sucked her cock. I absolutely loved it.

Brandy and Barb took the pill, and then almost everyone else did too. The
only hold out was Maria, our cook. We all knew she was weird anyway.  Jeff
said, "What happens if I take it?" Aleshia said, "You become one ugly looking
woman with a cock." We all died laughing as Jeff said, "I'll pass thanks."
Chelsea took it anyway and we were cracking up.

There was a big problem with getting the economy started again and we played
a huge part in that, even though we really didn't want too. Chelsea, Aleshia,
and about 10 financial analysts and economists were talking and they all were
saying, "We need a basis for the money. There is no Fort Knox anymore, US
mint, or Treasury. How do we back up the currency?" Debbie said, "I think we
may have the answer. Follow us to the vault off the sub-basement shelter." I
said, "Before the blast everyone that was here with us, moved their money and
we also converted a big portion of it to gold and diamonds. We sold most of
our properties too. When the blast happened, we had at that time
approximately 160 billion in gold, and almost the same amount in diamonds in
the vault. We also have about 90 billion in cash between us."

They didn't believe us until we opened the vault and turned on the lights. We
became the treasury and the Mint, using one of the machines to clone money
for the new supply. Debbie said, "This fucking sucks. We did back flips to
avoid paying ridicules taxes and now we're back in the same situation."
Chelsea said, "Wrong! There will never be any taxes. Your gold is only to
back up the money supply, and will never be used without it being repaid to
you."

Everyday our show was used for about a half hour for new announcements and we
made a big thing about the money. Debbie and I did a skit playing monopoly
and it was priceless as I conned her out of Boardwalk and Park Place and then
shook the board and yelled "earthquake!" to make the Pacific properties fall
off the table and into a bucket of water.

We introduced the new justice system on the show also and televised the first
ten cases from a police station. The first person was accused of steeling and
it took exactly 2 minutes to find out he was lying, and send him to hell for
5 years. The second case was a rape and he got 90 years to life. The third
was a murder and she was vaporized. Everyone got the message real quick.
Crime disappeared within a week.

We also used our show to help people get back to work. We had a list of
businesses that people could run and Chelsea actually did the first few
interviews and the person selected was given a way to own it, just by running
it for two years. We restarted over 4,000 businesses as we had a whole crew
doing the screening.

Things were progressing faster than any of us would have imagined. The TV
networks were back on the air and we changed to doing our show once a week on
Tuesday night at 8, which every network carried live. Aleshia introduced
their travel technology to us and we had centers in every city where you
could just beam to any other city, or to their planet, which wasn't allowed
yet, except for us. Debbie and I took a split second ride to Miami and it was
so wild. We swam in the ocean, had a drink on the beach and then beamed back
home. We also made the trips free.

We finally got our golf courses back. Debbie, me, Brandy, Trisha, Linda, and
Mandy played two rounds and we were rusty at first, but by the end of the
second round we were playing great. The next day Debbie and I took Aleshia
with us to play and she said, "You need to teach me the rules. We play it
different."

The game was almost the same. We went to the range and we were hitting balls
like normal and Aleshia was looking at us funny and then she swung the club
so weird. I said, "The ball won't go anywhere like that." She said, "How did
you do that? We all play the way I just did. We never hit the ball that far."
We showed her our golf swing and she picked it up in about two hours and
said, "I'm going to beat everyone at home like this."

We teed off on the first hole and she was about 30 yards shorter than us and
she picked up the ball. I said, "Aleshia, what are you doing? That just cost
you a stroke." She said, "In our game you always pick up your ball, clean it,
and then place it within a metric of where it was. That's about 3 feet on
earth." Debbie said, "If we could place the ball and clean it on every shot,
we'd shoot a 60. That's cheating here. Play by our rules today." We made her
drop it and it rolled into a small divot and we were laughing as she said,
"How do you hit it like that?" I said, "Swing hard and hit through the
grass."

She was having a hard time, but had fun with us. She also said, "You two
could beat anyone on our planet, by a lot." Debbie and I were in heaven and
played everyday for a week to get in our golf fix, as everyone called it. We
both shot a 61 and then celebrated all night. I fucked Debbie while she had
the golf sex toy driver up her ass and one in my pussy at the same time. It
was wild.

All of the bands went into the studio at the new record company to record new
CDs and we had so much material. Harry and Victor found a few recording
engineers and we all helped them learn as they recorded The Crooked Road
first and then Debbie and I did the final mix to teach them that part also.
Aleshia was enamored by the music and she said, "Do you have a film of your
playing before the destruction. I'd like to watch it." We spent two days in
the den watching our old concerts and we all cried at the size of the crowds.
Then we watched our movies on DVD. Aleshia loved our golf movies and Simple
Meg. Debbie said to me in character when it was over, "Meg loves Cat very
much, but it hurt's right here thinking about not being able to make movies
again Cat." She held her fist to her heart and we all cried again. I said to
Aleshia, "Hollywood is now at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean." Harry said,
"We'll fix that too. Just give us some more time."

Chelsea came up with a brilliant idea and stood up saying, "We are going to
have a giant celebration to commemorate the re-opening of America. We'll have
it like one of your large outdoor concerts and make it free. We'll invite all
of America to participate for an all day and night event. We'll have it
advertised on every TV station and especially on your show. Maybe do it in
three weeks to give people enough time to plan for it. Where can we fit
several million people?" Aleshia said, "Lets take out the space craft and
find a place where we can have it. We'll put our transportation devices there
so anyone can get there.  Power and everything else will only take about a
day." We went with her and we found a natural amphitheater on gassy fields
surrounded by hills. I said, "Three million easy, but they won't be able to
see us very well from the back." Aleshia said, "We can fix that with
projection systems every five hundred yards." Debbie said, "Spoken like a
true golfer."

We made the announcement on our show and every station was advertising it as
the Birthday Party for the new America. Carrie, Mary, Beth, Margi, Brenda and
my mom planned the entire thing. Aleshia said, "I take it they've done this
before. I haven't got a clue what they're talking about." I said, "That skill
was a little over 10 billion of the gold downstairs."

As horrible as this sounds, Debbie and I actually like things better now than
the way they were. It's like all of us got a second chance to do it the right
way this time. We're back to being sex addicts again and are so happy. After
we announced the concert, Debbie grabbed my hand as the show ended and
literally dragged me upstairs as everyone was laughing at us. She kissed me
and then said, "Kate, would you marry me?" I kissed her so hard and long and
rolled around with her on the bed as we kissed more and then I said, "Debbie,
I would love to marry you."

We kissed and caressed each other for about a half hour and then held my hard
cock and positioned it as I slid it into her pussy. We fucked like wild
rabbits and I shot my cum into her twice and then she had me sit on her hard
shaft as I leaned forward and kissed her. I loved how it felt when her cock
pulsated in my pussy and soaked me with her warm cum. I kept moving on her
semi-soft cock until she got hard again and we made love for another hour
until she shot into me again. I whispered into her ear, "I'll marry you as
soon as we eat each other out." She was laughing as she lay on top of me in a
69 position and we sucked the cum out of each other's pussies and then fist
fucked each other to hit our G-spots. Debbie rolled us on our sides and she
sucked my cock hard again and I was sucking hers too. I loved being with her
now more than anything in the world. I deep throated her cock held it there
as she humped into my mouth and I let her shoot her cum into my throat. She
was moaning so loud as she bobbed her head up and down on my shaft and I
blasted a river of cum into her mouth.

We kissed for a long time and told each other what we were going to do to
each other when we were married, and then laughed so hard. I was getting hard
again and Debbie said, "How come we use to wear guys out all the time, and we
can't get enough of it? Spoon me honey and do my butt." I spooned her and
slid my cock into her wet pussy and then used the wetness and my spit to lube
her ass as I fucked her from behind as I massaged her breasts. Debbie was on
fire and I was too. After I shot my load into her butt, she rolled me over
and did me the same way. God did I love it up the ass as I rubbed my clit.

The next morning we asked Chelsea to marry us and she said, "At the concert.
I want to announce the pill about sex today on TV and make it available to
anyone that wants it. Everyone will understand and support your marriage
then."

We asked Aleshia if we could use the machine they have to transform matter,
as our birth control pills were almost out. She said, "We have something much
better. You take one pill and it lasts forever, or until you take the other
one to stop it. I'll get you a bottle of each one from the ship."

The TV show was interesting, to say the least. Aleshia explained evolution
and how her anatomy was different than ours. Then she took off her cloths as
the camera focused on each part and she said, "We have a pill and are making
it available to anyone that wants this also. You don't have to take it, but
all of those that have taken it, don't want to change back. Debbie and Kate
will tell you about it." We both undressed and showed ourselves and talked
about our love making in bed. Then we announced we were getting married at
the Birthday Party for America and we kissed. We both got hardons and Debbie
was laughing as she said, "See, it really does work, and you probably thought
this was just another one of our crazy ass pranks. Lets go Butch. Our Pickup
Truck needs an oil change." I thought my mom was going to piss in her pants.

Two days before the show we all went to the site with Aleshia in the
spacecraft and it was amazing. There were buildings with bathroom facilities,
medical facilities, at least 5,000 food stations with beer, and small
buildings for merchants as far as we could see. They had everything set up
and there were hundreds of thousands of people there already, all camping
out. They even had it televised on every network, for the entire event.

We went back home and Debbie kissed me and said, "We need to rehearse our
wedding honey." We already had our gowns and we practiced the ceremony. My
mom walked me down the isle as Margi walked Debbie down the isle from about a
hundred feet from the stage. Then Chelsea does the wedding ceremony. We were
both so happy we cried about it in the rehearsal. Chelsea said, "We are
starting the celebration with your wedding. I can't think of any way to
better say thank you."

That night Lee-Ann and Caryn slept with us, and Aleshia walked in on us while
we were fucking up a storm. She said, "It's cool. We all have sex with our
kids. No one gives a shit about it on our planet. It's not on the list of
laws." She climbed in bed with us and we had one hell of an orgy all night. I
sucked off everyone twice. Aleshia called me the cum monster as Debbie licked
up a drip on my chin and then kissed me with it. We all lit cigarettes and
Aleshia said, "Any interest in playing a concert like we're doing on our
planet also? No one has ever heard music like this before." I said, "Send our
CDs there first and see if they like it first." She said, "Good idea. I need
to convert them to our music format first. We'll do it tomorrow. I want to
sell them there. You could make ten times what you made here. Our planet has
80 billion people and is twenty times the size of Earth." Debbie said, "You
pull that off, and you get 5 percent of all of it." Aleshia was smiling as
she took a drag of her strawberry cigarette.

On the day of the party, and our wedding, our moms were a nervous wreck.
Debbie and I were as calm as can be and just laughed about it. All of us got
a ride to the show in the spacecraft and landed behind the stages. Aleshia
said, "I needed to have the ship here, because we have two special guests
coming from our planet." Everyone was leaving the ship and she said to us,
"Stay here and met our guests, plus you need to get on your gowns for the
wedding." The guests beamed into the ship and Aleshia said, "Kate, and
Debbie, this is Aria and Stef. Aria is the President of our world, and Stef
is the head of entertainment, which also includes sports on our world." We
smiled and welcomed them to our home. Aria said, "We owe you two so much. The
soaps you gave our people are the most wondrous gift in the universe. It's
the gift of lasting life. I wanted to welcome everyone from your world to our
federation of planets and met Chelsea. I've heard so much about all of you."
Stef said, "I want to see you two play this music and play golf. If Aleshia
is right, you two will be the biggest thing that has ever happened on Tara."

My mom came back into the ship and said, "Kate, get ready." Debbie and I
changed and Aria hugged us both and said, "I'll see you after you're married.
I love ceremonies like this."

Debbie and I were alone in the ship and finished dressing. We looked at each
other and I lifted her veil and gave her the softest wet kiss. She said, "Oh
honey, you look so beautiful." I kissed her again said, "Debbie, I love you
more than anything in any world. Lets get married." We walked out of the ship
and people were clapping for us, as we heard Chelsea talking to the audience.
The wedding march was being played from on stage and our moms walked us
around in a large circle past the crowd in an isle and then down the center
isle to the stage. My mom was so nervous. I said, "Mom, relax." Debbie was
laughing at Margi shaking while holding her hand. They walked us up the
stairs as the kids held the trains on our gowns and then Lee-Ann stood next
to me and Caryn stood next to Debbie. Our moms hugged us both and stood on
stage also. Chelsea said into the microphone, "This is a very special day. We
are giving birth to a new nation, and my two all time favorite people and
great friends are getting married. I am honored to be the one to join them
together. I know you wrote your own vows, so please say them now. Debbie, you
first."

Debbie looked me in the eyes and said, "Kate, will you marry me and spend
eternity in love with me, like we have been to each other all these years?" I
said, "I will marry you and love you forever. Debbie, will you love me
forever and stay with me though all times, no matter what happens?" She said,
"I will honey, and I promise to always act as nutty as ever." We both smiled
and Chelsea said, "I pronounce you married. You can kiss now." We really
kissed and the crowd cheered so loud it was totally deafening. Debbie and I
surprised Chelsea and we took the mics and we sang each other a song on stage
called, "I'll love you no matter what happens." It was slow and so touching
about what we went through. We ended it looking into each other's eyes as we
sang the line, "I'll always be there for you." Everyone on stage was crying
and so was the audience. We turned to the audience and everyone was standing
up as far as we could see, cheering and clapping loud. I said into the mic,
"We wanted to start our celebration with a remembrance of what was, and then
we'll never look back again. Our band and Lee-Ann's will be join us to sing a
medley of the America the Beautiful and the Star Spangled banner. Please
stand while we sing it and remember those that aren't here with us today.

We all sang it acapella in harmony and it was so moving. Each one of us
stopped to cry at different times in the songs. We ended it holding the note
for the word "brave" and then people were cheering louder than we ever heard
it before. We also didn't see one dry eye anywhere. I said, "Thank you. Now
we only look forward. Hey Debbie, we forgot the last two words on that song.
She screamed, "Play Ball!" Everyone was laughing and Aleshia said into the
mic, "Go get changed and join the party."

We waved as we walked off the stage and everyone was standing and clapping
for us. Debbie gave me one hell of a wet kiss as we walked into the
spacecraft to change and called each other wife. It took about five minutes
to get into our new jeans and sexy tee shits and then we kissed again and
went back out to the area in front of the stage. Aleshia was introducing Aria
and we sat as we listen to her speech. It was very faltering for us and also
funny. She said, "Those two became the hit of the universe with that stupid
TV show they broadcast. We picked it up on our spacecraft and then broadcast
it to our planet. Everyone loved it, including me. It also let everyone learn
English and now we have to teach you our language so you can all visit our
world anytime you want too." She talked for about 20 minutes about what it's
like on her planet and what they did to help us. They she said, "Kate and
Debbie gave us and all of you the gift that will be remembered as the most
precious in the entire universe. They gave you the gift of extending life and
curing disease. For this, we will be eternally grateful. Kate, Debbie, please
come up here." We walked to the stage and everyone stood and cheered and Aria
said into the mic, "Please accept this key, which is the key to our world and
our hearts as a symbol of our eternal friendship and gratitude." We kissed
her and she hugged us both as the crowd was cheering again loud.

Chelsea announced the new government positions that are all volunteer, and we
were named as Secretaries of the Treasury, which we already knew about.
Chelsea announced Harry was Secretary of Entertainment and said, "Just like
the position on Tara." When she was done we all stood on the stage and she
said, "Remember these faces and names. They are all volunteering their time
and resources to help this world, just like I am. Now its time for the
celebration to begin! Jeff, open up the beer stands and lets get the music
going!"  Everyone stood and cheered as an emcee came on stage and one of the
old bands, The County Line, took the stage. We had no idea they even survived
and were so glad to see them. The emcee was one of the guys that use to
announce us and he waved to us and said into the mic, "Just like old times."
The crowd roared and he introduced the band. They really sounded good and we
all cheered and danced. Stef was next to us and yelled, "They're great!" I
yelled back, "You haven't seen anything yet!"

Lee-Ann brought us some beer and pizza and we really enjoyed the concert.
Debbie and I talked about a skit for our act about her calling me Mrs. Austin
and me calling her Mrs. Rogers. We were laughing as we ate and drank beer,
listening to the band play.

After each band played they did all types of other things on stage. We saw a
comedian, who was a piss and a great magic act. Lee-Ann said, "You are going
on last and don't argue with me. We're introducing you." Debbie said, "You're
just afraid what we might say when we introduce you." Lee-Ann hugged us and
said, "Yeah right."

The lights were on everywhere as it got dark, and Georgia Passion went on.
Stef went nuts with their music. She looked at us and I said, "It gets better
as the night goes on."

At 9 at night the emcee announced "Shades of the Cottonwood!" The place
roared and Stef covered her ears as I yelled, "Now it gets good!" Lee-Ann,
Caryn and Tess were terrific. They sounded better than they ever did and they
kept smiling at us as they put on one hell of a show. They were doing their
last tune and they waved for us to come up and we all walked on the stage, as
Brandy said, "What's she up too?"

They finished the last song and everyone in the audience, as far as we could
see, was standing and cheering. We got into position on stage with our gear
and Lee-Ann said into the mic, "Over the years, my mom and I have always made
it into a friendly contest as to who had a bigger hit record, who performed
best, and who won the most Grammy's. They are performing last because we all
know they are the best. They kept our sanity through a very long night, and
everyone else's also. They are what performers are all about. The show must
go on, even on their wedding day. Please welcome the best band and best
performers that ever lived. Broken Hearts of Southland!"

Val clicked it off for us and we started with our last hit record before the
blast. Everyone was standing as far as we could see and we put on one hell of
a show. Stef had her eyes bugged out and I winked at her. Debbie played the
most outrageous guitar solo and then I soloed on keyboard and blues harp as
the place went nuts.

We ended the song and as the cheering was still loud we started our skit
about being married. Brandy was dying on stage and so was Trisha. They were
throwing things at us and the audience loved it and was laughing. We offered
Brandy a free trip to Hollywood and the place was cracking up.

We did a concert show and also stopped to do funny things like our TV show.
Debbie did her top ten reasons to have the key to a new world. This was so
funny we were all laughing on stage. Aria was in stitches sitting in the
front row. Then we used a lie detector box that Aleshia modified for us as a
joke. It was wrong on everything and we had the place going nuts as we
started one of our new tunes that really rocked called, "I'm still just a kid
inside."

We played for almost two hours and didn't want to stop, but were getting
tired. I said into the mic, "We'd like all of the bands that played today to
come on stage with us for this last song. Come on up here everyone." Debbie
said, "This is one of our favorite sing along medleys of some of our older
tunes and we want to hear everyone in this one."

All of the bands were on stage and they huddled around microphones as I said,
"We start with Love Sucks!" We played it and the 4 million plus people
screamed, "Love Sucks!" It was amazing. We heard the echo a few seconds later
and we were all laughing on stage. We went into Beaver Patch and the Beer
Song in a blues style. We let everyone play a small solo in it and the
audience loved it. Danica still screams on lead guitar. We ended the song and
the cheers were totally deafening. We all screamed into the mic together,
"Happy Birthday America!"

We waved and bowed and waved some more and then walked off the stage as the
emcee said, "Don't anyone go away we have plenty of more things in store. Now
we're taking a one hour intermission."

Debbie and I hugged and she said, "That was really fun honey. We are so
hooked on playing on stage." Stef ran up to us and was screaming, "Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God! You are going to be the superstars of Tara. That was so
unreal." Aria walked over and said, "That was really good. I can't believe it
was you on that stage."

I was smiling and said, "Lets get some food and beer. I'm staved. You handle
golf too?" She nodded and Debbie put her arm over Stef's shoulder and said,
"We are also about the best golfers on earth too. Ask Aleshia. You want to
play a round with us tomorrow?"  Aleshia heard us and said, "Stef, we will
both play a round with them. You are going to die when you watch them tear up
the course."

We ate and had a few beers and a cigarette and then we watched the best
fireworks show ever as an orchestra played. Chelsea was on the stage again
and said, "Today we are a new nation and I couldn't be prouder of how
everyone has pulled together to make this happen. Enjoy the rest of the
evening, food, drinks, shopping, and side-shows all over this area by the
food stands. Everyone is welcome to sleep here if you like. Happy Birthday
America!" Everyone was standing and cheering including us and Chelsea waved
to everyone.

My mom hugged me and said, "Honey, you were so good on stage tonight. I know
you really missed it and so did Debbie." She hugged Debbie and said, "You
were so funny. How in the fuck did you come up with that top ten list on the
fly?" Debbie smiled at me and said, "I have no clue. If you figure it out,
let me know."

Debbie and I walked through the crowd for a while and shook peoples hands and
hugged them as we thanked them coming to celebrate with us. Everyone thanked
us too.


CHAPTER 44 - SMALL-BALL


When we got back home, Debbie and I had our honeymoon sex night as we called
it. We were so into each other. We both shot our cum 8 times and had so many
pussy orgasms we lost count. We had sex until noon the next day and then
conked out and slept through to the next morning.

We went down stairs for breakfast and Stef and Aleshia were there and Aleshia
said, "You missed golf. Feel like playing today?" I said, "We kind of got
carried away after the concert. We'll play." Maria got our breakfast and we
told Stef about the rules in golf here. She said, "You can't touch the ball?"
Aleshia was smiling and said, "This is very hard."

After we ate we went to the course and hit the range. Stef had the same
reaction to our golf swing that Aleshia did before and the three of us taught
her. Debbie and I were really getting our game back as we nailed the 100 yard
sign 5 for 5 with our sand wedges. Then we did the same thing with the 200
yard sign with our 4 irons. Stef said, "Holy shit!"

The caddies all remembered us on tour and they were laughing at some of our
shots. We were so on. Stef was okay and Aleshia was getting the hang of
playing with our rules. At the end of nine, Debbie and I were both 8 under
par and laughing about it. Stef said, "Lets stop here. How about you play a
round on our planet this afternoon. No one will believe this. With our rules,
you will break ever record we have."

We went home and then to the spacecraft and beamed directly to a golf course
on Tara. Everyone knew Stef and Aleshia as they were like we were on earth.
We were given the next tee time, as the course manager made someone else
wait. We just laughed.

This was so easy it was unbelievable. The first hole was par 4 and only 260
yards. Debbie and I hit the green with our three woods and both made an
eagle.  The second hole we almost drove the green and then moved our balls to
perfect position and eagled this one also, with short chips. Stef and Aleshia
were laughing their ass off at us as we were goofing around we played.

At the end of nine Debbie and I were tied at 11 under par. Stef was just
shaking her head as the local press was asking us questions in their
language. Debbie answered, "This is way too easy for us. The course is much
shorter than where we come from, plus we aren't allowed to touch the ball. We
play it where it lies."

The press followed us on the back nine and took our pictures as we really ate
up this course. Debbie beat me by one stroke as she eagled the 18th with a
chip in. I was 11 under on the back and Debbie was 12 under. I finished with
a 50 and she had a 49. We laughed so hard we almost wet our pants. Stef said,
"World record. Incredible. Lets get a drink and have some lunch." The press
was all over us and we answered their questions. One said, "Are there any
others like you where you come from?" I said, "Four more that are just as
good as we are." Stef looked at us and I said, "Brandy, Trisha, Linda, and
Mandy. We were all on the LPGA tour."

We lit cigarettes and had a raspberry beer. It was different, but pretty
good. Aleshia was talking about our music here and Stef said, "That's a
given. Everyone will go nuts over it. How about playing one of our
professional golf tournaments? All six of you." Debbie said, "Sure. What are
the courses like?" Stef said, "This is the most difficult. The average score
here is par, 72." Debbie was cracking up and said, "How about we have a
tournament on earth too, with our rules, and the players from here are all
welcome." Stef said, "They'd die on those courses." I said, "The more
challenging the course, the more we like it. Maybe those players are like
us."

Aleshia, Debbie, and I went back to earth and I said, "Teach us how you swing
a golf club on your planet." We stayed in the backyard and Aleshia said,
"Don't turn your hips or back. It's all hands and only take it back half way.
That's how we can be so accurate." Debbie and I tried it with our wedges and
she said, "With a little work we could use this under 50 yards and it will be
almost like putting."

Harry walked out into the backyard and said, "All of the CDs went platinum at
the concert and the record company is now making money. Your CD sold over 2
million copies. Things will never change when it comes to your music. How'd
you make out at Golf today?" Aleshia said, "I don't want to talk about it."
Harry was smiling and said, "How bad did they beat you?" Aleshia said, "I
really don't want to talk about it." Debbie started to laugh and I said, "We
played on planet Tara and Debbie had a 49! I had a 50." Aleshia said, "I
really don't want to talk about it." Harry was smiling and said, "We need to
get you back into the movies."

That night, Debbie was sitting on my cock and learning forward, dangling her
nipples in my face. I sucked one of them and she moaned softly, "Tell me I'm
the best golfer alive." I started to laugh and she used her pussy muscles to
drive me crazy as we fucked and said, "Tell me, or I'll keep going like this
all night baby." I was moaning, "Your the best ever. Oh shit Debbie, do that
again honey." I blasted my cum into her pussy and she kissed me and then
rolled us over. I sat on her cock and squeezed it as hard as I cold as I
moved up and down as Debbie was moaning, "You're they best. You're the best.
Oh Kate honey, don't stop." I didn't stop for two hours as Debbie told me I
was the best at everything.

We kissed and then she said, "Spoon me honey and light one of those joints."
I opened the nightstand and lit a machine rolled joint and took three deep
tokes and held it in. Debbie took a few hits and then she squirmed her ass on
me and pushed until my cock was inside of her ass. Aleshia came into our room
and climbed in bed with us and took a drag of the joint. She said, "We need
to clone this stuff too. Are you fucking Debbie's ass?" Debbie smiled taking
a toke and said, "Yup. You want the front door?" I pushed in harder and
Debbie moaned softly, "That feels good honey." I took the joint from her and
sucked in several times hard and we were totally stoned. Aleshia was giggling
and finished it off and then lay in front of Debbie and fucked her pussy
while I did her ass. They made me into a sandwich next and then we did
Aleshia. The three of us smoked 5 more joints and we were as stoned as it
gets and couldn't stop giggling at each other.

In the morning we used Aleshia's machine to clone boxes and boxes of joints
and put them in the vault. She was cracking up as we put several boxes in the
spacecraft too.

That next day, Stef came back over and took Brandy, Trisha, Linda, and Mandy
to Tara to play the same course we played. We went with them with Aleshia,
and we walked the course with them as they played. They were all in the low
50s and we laughed from the first tee box. After the round, all of us
practiced hitting balls the way Aleshia showed us for short shots and we were
so accurate. Debbie said, "I feel a 39 coming on."

All of us went back home, and Stef explained the rules in detail to us about
their game, which is called "Small Ball", instead of Golf. We also found out
that the balls they use go a lot further than ours do. Brandy said, "You mean
if I hit the ball out of bounds, the first one is free?" Aleshia said, "You
get one free mistake per round." We were laughing our ass off. Stef talked to
Harry and Victor about setting up a golf tournament here and they worked out
a plan to use the TV networks to get previous PGA, LPGA, or other tour
players to sign up.

I said, "On Tara, how many people go to watch one of the tournaments?" Stef
said, "In person about a half million. Televised coverage is about 20
billion. This is the most popular sport in our world. It has been for
centuries. The world series tournament has over 50 billion viewers." Debbie
said, "What other sports do you have?" Stef listed some of the names and we
were cracking up until she explained what they were. Tennis was a called
"Smack Ball."

Over the next month, things really were getting back to some degree of
normalcy. Harry and Victor found 11 rock bands and they all had CDs. Ten
radio stations were back on the air, and our new stock market opened, based
in Atlanta. We played our first "Small Ball" tournament on Tara and it was
interesting. It's only two rounds in one day, which they call a doubleheader.
The six of us were so far ahead it was comical. I won it with a very lucky
shot to finish with a 48 on the final round. I was 46 under par for two
rounds. The others were between 43 and 47 under. The best score from a Tara
player was Aleshia who was 39 under par. After Aleshia, the next player was 9
under. We absolutely had a blast and the press went crazy with all of us.

We played in a 2 round practice tournament at the Nashville course with 47
other X-tour players and 20 invited players from Tara. Brandy won this one,
and except for Aleshia, the Tara players scored horrible. Stef said, "They
can't compete in this. They're all embarrassed."

That night we celebrated with Brandy and Barb and it was the most outrageous
foursome orgy we ever had. I sat upright on Debbie's cock while Barb was
kneeling on her spread knees fucking Debbie's pussy, and Brandy stood over my
cock and lowered herself onto me, until we were fucking and her ass was on
Debbie's tits. We changed positions every 10 minutes or so, until each one of
us got to try each position. Then we started a new position and did it all
over again. Debbie said, "Spike hasn't been out in a while honey. Lets wake
him up."

We used Spike and jerked each other off at the same time. I had my fist
double orgasm from my pussy and cock at the same time and I passed out.
Debbie was laughing as I opened my eyes again and she kissed me and then
said, "I was out too. Spike isn't being retired yet." She wiped up the white
goop that was on our stomachs using her finger and then put it in my mouth. I
swallowed it and then she did it again and put it in her mouth. I was so hot
we kissed and did the dual orgasm thing again two more times, each time
nodding out for a few seconds.

In the morning, Debbie fist fucked me and found my spot as she gave me a
blowjob. The instant that I blasted my cum into her mouth, my entire body
went into spasms but I managed to not pass out. This was the most intense
orgasm I have ever felt in my life and I was squealing like a soprano in the
Opera. Debbie swallowed my cum and then lay next to me smiling and said, "I
know that felt good. You hit a high D note." I said, "Shut up!" as she was
laughing and then I lay between her legs and ate her out. I gave her the
first fucking routine and blowjob, and Debbie was even louder. My mom ran
into our bedroom thinking something was wrong and laughed as she watched
Debbie light a cigarette and say, "Kate, that was the best blowjob I ever had
honey."

My mom sat down on the bed next to me and said, "You two are so nuts." She
learned forward and kissed my cheek and then licked the drip of cum off my
chin. I was so surprised as she gave me the wettest kiss. She said, "I've
known about you and Lee-Ann for a long time, and I want to make love to you
also. How about Brenda and I sleep with you and Debbie tonight?" Debbie said,
"Cool." I smiled and then kissed her again.

The next night my mom and Brenda slept with us and I had the most amazing
bonding with my mom. Now I know what Lee-Ann felt with me when we first slept
together. We also got my mom and Brenda stoned. She said to me, "Kate, what
if we get sent to the hell planet?" I said, "Drugs aren't on the list of
laws. No one gives a shit about this stuff." She smiled and lit up another
one and we all cracked up.

Our CDs were released on the planet Tara in their media format, which was
very different than ours. We were worried about the CDs being in English and
Aleshia said, "Everyone speaks English now also since we downloaded the
learning disc." In two days Stef was screaming at how much money we made. She
said, "15 million dregs in two days! You're rich!" I said, "What in the fuck
is a Dreg?" Aleshia said, "5 dollars equals one Dreg. 1 dollar equals 1
Quark." Debbie whispered into my ear, "Stef doesn't realize that we're
loaded. Play along with me." Debbie said, "Stef, can you set us up a bank
account on your planet with the money so we can buy a trailer to live in when
we visit?" Stef said, "You can buy a lot more than just a trailer." Debbie
said, "We really want one. Kate and I are so tired of owning this castle on
earth." Aleshia couldn't stop laughing as Stef said, "You mean you own this
place? I thought it was a hotel." We showed her the vault and she fainted. We
woke her up and I said, "We play music because we love doing it. The money is
great, but we'd do it for nothing, just like we do our TV show."

That week Debbie and I spent 15 minutes on our TV show goofing on the names
for things on Tara. We started with sports and I started it with, "Everyone
knows that Small-Ball is golf. You would think that Big-Ball would be
basketball. It's not. It's an orgy where a judge keeps score. Kind of like a
porno fucking for dollars TV show."

Debbie had money printed with a monster in the center and called it a Dreg. I
thought Aleshia was going to shit in her pants from laughing. We made the
Quark look like a Dreg's kid in diapers. We both laughed as we presented that
one. Then we did our top ten list of things we like about our new sex
equipment. We both stated to laugh when Debbie said, "When it gets seasick,
it throws up a lot."

We had our first concert on Tara scheduled and it was to be just like what we
did here for the America Birthday Celebration. Aleshia set up a
transportation system in our basement, so any on us could beam anywhere. She
showed us to how to really work it, and not just push one of the programmed
buttons and also gave us a code to always get back here for any other unit.
This was so neat. Aleshia said, "We're probably going to leave the spacecraft
here and not fly it back home. Who knows when we may need it again. We'll
park it on the property in the far back end and also teach you how to fly it
if you need too. It's real simple. Feel like taking your first flying lesson
now?"

Debbie and I used the knowledge center to learn all about it in 10 minutes
and then we had a blast with this thing. We flew over the old Central
American countries and I said, "I don't understand why the people didn't
survive here." Aleshia said, "The Tsunamis caused by the blast and the West
Coast sinking covered all of this land with water. The people drowned."

The landscape was gorgeous and we practiced landing in field. Debbie made a
crunching noise as we set down and Aleshia jumped and said, "Shit did you
scare me! Don't ever do that!" We cracked up as I said, "Ever hear that for
real?" Aleshia said, "I was not your best driver when I learned. My first
landing was on a house. Thank God no one was home at the time."

We scared Aleshia to death as Debbie and I made the thing go as fast as it
would go and we were only about 100 feet off the ground. Debbie said, "This
is so cool. Kind of like a flying version of NASCAR." We pulled it straight
up and then did a roll. We must have had 5 G-forces on us as Aleshia was
laughing at us. She said, "Maybe leaving this here isn't such a good idea."
Debbie said, "Don't you dare take this home! This is our new toy. Kate, lets
have the garage expanded again for this." Aleshia wasn't sure if we were
kidding or not. We were serious. We drove it back home safely and Aleshia was
breathing normally again.

We used one of the hand held machines to make a building to cover the craft
with a sliding roof. Debbie said, "That'll do." On our TV show we showed the
spacecraft as the newest addition to our car collection and called it the
Southland express. Aleshia was rolling her eyes and shaking her head. We just
smiled at her as Debbie gave her top ten reasons to own your own space ship.
Debbie gave her best reason as, "Rattling your neighbor's trailer when you
start the engines in the morning." Aleshia finally started to laugh.

We really started to get comfortable going to Tara using our own
transportation system. We had a map of the planet and visited a bunch of
places. We couldn't believe how much notoriety we got from that first Small-
Ball tournament, as people stopped us to ask for autographs every place we
went. We visited the city where the concert was going to be held and then
some of the sites Aleshia told us about. We saw some very weird looking
people in one continent and Aleshia said, "They kind of evolved a little
differently about 80,000 years ago. We think it was from a genetic mutation
experiment that went wrong. You get use to the funny ears and three breasts
after a while. It's the `Y' shaped double penises that grosses me out."
Debbie's eyes bugged out as she whispered to me, "One for the front and back
at the same time? Lets stay here tonight." The `Y' was sideways and really
gross. We didn't stay.

Our first concert on Tara was a blast. It was in the largest indoor arena
I've ever scene and it held over 400,000 people. We couldn't imagine why
anyone would sit in the upper deck to see a band play, but the place was
mobbed. Stef said to us before we went on, "Tickets to your show were sold
out the next day. We had a waiting list of over 2 million people and that's
at 80 Dregs a seat." We had to multiple in our heads and Debbie said, "We did
okay in this concert." Stef said, "That's before we get the 48 million Quarks
in television rights. You did real good."

We did the same line up as the concert on earth except Aria gave a speech and
introduced us as the music from Earth. She also told everyone that Debbie and
I were the ones with the broadcast they all watched, and the roar from the
stadium was louder than any we ever heard before. We kind of liked it as it
was all women, with the same equipment that we had now. Chelsea was there and
was introduced as our President and she introduced the first band, The County
Line.

Everyone played great and had so much fun in this place. There was a 200 foot
high screen on the other end of the stadium that we could watch our own show
on as the TV audience saw it. It was definitely cool. When we were introduced
the place went wild and we started with one of the best tunes on the CD that
was sold here. Then Debbie and I did some joking around and we talked in
their native language. Everyone stood and applauded us. I couldn't believe
it.

We changed the way we did the beer song medley to the native language and
instead of yelling, "Love Sucks!", we yelled, "Bona Drains!" The audience was
standing and screaming the words with us. We just looked at each other
smiling.

The highlight of the night was Debbie doing her top ten reasons to live on
the continent "Kranid", which had the genetic mutations. We had the place
laughing so hard none of us could keep a straight face and laughed along with
them. When Debbie tried to demonstrate how to get laid with a `Y' cock, I
completely lost it and dropped my folk guitar I was holding. Her theory was
you had to turn sideways.

We did one very slow tearjerker and it seemed to flow better in their
language so that's how we sang it. There wasn't a dry eye in the house and we
got a 10 minute standing ovation. Debbie hugged and kissed me on stage as we
thanked the audience. Then we did one of our fast tunes to end the show.

When we walked off the stage Brandy said, "Best show we ever did. You two
were in your prime tonight. Where in the fuck did you get that stuff about
Kranid?" I smiled and said, "We went there yesterday." Brandy said, "Oh my
God! That was real?" Her and Trisha were dying. Stef said to us, "You could
play here every night and fill this place." Val counted us out "1,2,3,4" and
we all said in unison, "Once a month!"

We went into the backstage area to sit on some couches with the other bands.
Debbie and I lit cigarettes and had a raspberry beer as Aleshia came
backstage and said, "What a show. You were great! Want to play in another
Small-Ball tournament tomorrow? It's one of the big events here. Two days,
four rounds. Linda and Mandy can play too." We all agreed and Aleshia told us
where to transport too and said, "Leave at 10 AM your time to get here at the
right time. We'll meet you at the transportation center and we'll provide
caddies if you want. Brandy said, "All except one. Barb will caddie for me."
Barb was backstage and said, "That's me!"

We went out to see the fans and it was so orderly, we weren't use to this. We
walked onto the arena floor and talked with people as we signed some
autographs. What a difference from earth.

The trip home took 1 second and we were laughing about it as we walked
upstairs in the house. As soon as we got into our bedroom, Debbie put her
arms around me and said, "You were so good tonight." She kissed me quickly
and then I said, "Me? Kranid was a total piss." We lay on the bed naked,
laughing for almost a half hour taking about the next ten reasons we left out
of this show. We both had to piss and ran in the bathroom and then I lit us a
joint to share. We both got high and then Debbie slid her hardon into my wet
pussy and said, "Laughing was our foreplay tonight. Kate, I love you so much
honey."  We kissed and then made love until 3 in the morning. We sucked each
other off and then ate each other's pussy in a 69 position until our tongues
we were so tried we had to stop. Debbie crawled over to kiss me again and we
slept with our faces touching. I felt so much love for her, I held her as
close to me as I could as we fell asleep.


CHAPTER 45 - WE NEVER KNEW IT WAS THAT GOOD


Brandy woke us up in the morning and we dressed and had breakfast. Everyone
wanted to come watch us play so they beamed to the transportation center with
us and Aleshia said, "Your own fan club. That's cool. Hi mom." My mom was
cracking up as Aleshia hugged her and then Margi.

The caddies met us at the center and they took our bags except for Barb who
carried Brandy's. It was a very short walk and we were at the clubhouse as
soon as we got out of the building. Stef was there and gave us our ID cards
for this tournament and everyone else a necklace that held their cards to get
in. Aleshia gave us our tee times and we all went straight to the range. The
place was almost as mobbed as our concert last night and we hit balls on the
range to over 100,000 people sitting in stands watching us. It was unreal. We
couldn't resist and started to goof around as we bet a buck on best 5 shots
hitting the 50, 100, 150, and 200 yard signs and then hitting it over the 280
fence. It was amazing that all of the other players stopped to watch and were
cheering for us. It was down to Debbie and me at the 280 fence and we both
hit the first ones over. The roar from the people watching was like a
Superbowl game. We both went 5 for five and split the pot as everyone was
clapping. Aleshia said, "One hell of a show."

We got the course layout and this one was really short. Debbie said, "Its
like an executive par three course with three real par fours they have as a
par fives. The par threes are all under a hundred. This should be fun."

Debbie, Mandy, Linda, and me were in a foursome and the opening hole was a
210 yard par 4. We all hit the green with a strong 4 iron. Debbie and I made
eagle and Mandy and Linda made birdie as the crowd was screaming for us. The
whole round was like that. We ate this course up even more than the last one,
and I got real lucky and pulled ahead by a shot. I had a hole in one on a 240
par 4. The roar from the crowd was as loud as the roar last night in our
concert.

After the first round we all took an hour break for lunch and looked at the
scores on the leader board. I was on top with Debbie one shot behind me.
Brandy and Trisha were tied with Debbie, and Mandy and Linda were one back
from them tied with Aleshia. I hugged Aleshia and said, "You're getting
good." She smiled and said, "I love this competition."

We played the next round in the same groups and we had a blast. Debbie had a
hole in one on a 98 yard par 3. She flew the ball into the cup on a fly and
jumped up at least three feet and then ran over and gave we one hell of a wet
kiss. We were tied again and the crowd loved our joking around.

Debbie I finished the day tied at 50 under par. We looked at the leader board
and laughed our ass off. The rest of our crew was only one and two shots
back.

Aleshia came back to our place and had dinner with us and then slept with the
Golf Gods as she put it, as she walked into our bedroom with us. Debbie and I
made her so nuts. We made her a sandwich and then I sucked her off as Debbie
found Aleshia's G-spot and we made her sing a high D note as she orgasmed
nonstop and then pass out as she shot her cum into my mouth. Her cock was
pulsating in my mouth and I was holding in the warm cum as Debbie said,
"She's out of it. Share it with me honey." Debbie and I shared the cum and
then fucked ourselves silly until we passed out also.

The next day was interesting. They made a cut and three quarters of the
players were eliminated and they were all watching us now. We played in
twosomes and it was Debbie and me in the last group. We waited until Brandy
and Trisha were off the green and then we both nailed it again with a 4 iron.
Debbie hit the flagstick and it almost went in and we were laughing as we
walked to the green.  We both tapped in 2 foot putts for an eagle.

Our scores were the same as yesterday and when we got to a par five I said,
"Feel like taking a risk? We get a free one if we fuck up." She said, "Over
the trees?" I nodded. We waited until Trisha and Brandy were off the green
and then I went first. I hit a high drive over the trees to cut the corner
and we watched it through the trees bounce and roll onto the green. The roar
was loud as Debbie laughed and teed up her shot. She blasted it and we
watched it hit the green and then roll off the back. We laughed our ass off
as we walked on the fairway talking to the fans. When we got to the green
Debbie was so lucky. She moved her ball within three feet and it put her back
on the green and the crowd cheered again. I said, "How nutty is this game?"
She smiled at me and then sunk the 30 foot putt for a double eagle. I missed
my 30 footer and she was now up by one shot. I said, "I never thought I'd be
pissed off about an eagle."

The rest of the day the seven of us, including Aleshia traded off on the lead
several times. I got it back and then lost it again to Trisha. The seven of
us ended up finishing in a dead tie after the second 18 at 99 under par. We
all were laughing at the leader board as someone announced a sudden death
payoff starting on hole number 10 which is the par five we cut the corner on
before. We drew strays to decide order and Debbie was up first. She aimed for
the trees and crushed it again. Everyone was watching it sail over the trees.
It hit the green and Debbie was screaming, "Go in! Go in the hole!" We
watched the ball disappear on the green and Debbie wet wild as the crowd was
going crazy too. The tournament official said, "It's not over yet. You all
need to take your shot." Everyone teed off and tried to hit the green. Brandy
hit it, but it was wide of the hole. I was up last and I teed it up and
Debbie said, "Honey, please miss for me." I hugged her and said, "Not on your
life. This is going in the cup." She was smiling as I took a big swing and
hit it hard. I was watching it sail and hit the green as people were
cheering. It was rolling up to the hole slowly and stopped. We went to get
our balls and we watched my ball fall into the cup and the official said,
"That counts. The match continues." We were laughing as we walked on the
green and she said to us, "Now we play number 15 back to the clubhouse."

I asked, "Do we still get a free hit if we put one out of bounds or
unplayable?" She said, "You haven't taken any. Of course." Debbie looked at
me and said, "You're going for this one too?" I yelled to Lee-Ann, "Stay
there and tell us if the balls are in play or not after we hit." She waved to
us and I teed off first. Lee-Ann yelled, "OB!" I said, "Normal shot." I  hit
a drive right down the middle of the fairway and then Debbie hit one over the
trees. We were all waiting as Lee-Ann yelled, "Good shot!" and the crowd roar
was deafening.

I took my next shot and hit the green close to the pin and we walked up to
Debbie's ball that was 20 yards from the green. I said, "Sink it and end it
now for an extra buck." She was smiling at me and said, "For the buck, it's
in the hole." She took a few practice swings using the Tara method of
swinging the club and stepped up to it with her sand wedge and hit it
perfect. We watched it roll on the green and slow down as it was going
towards the hole. Debbie was screaming, "Move you stupid ball! Go home! Go
home!" It slowly fell into the cup and Debbie jumped and hugged me and I
said, "You earned this one. Great shot honey!" I picked my ball up and tossed
it to some little kid and so did Debbie as we walked back to the clubhouse
arm in arm waving to the fans.

The awards presentation was very different than on earth. All seven of us got
a first place award and Debbie got a special award for the playoff. The
presenter called us the best `Small-Ball' players in the universe. Each of us
were asked to give a short speech so Debbie and I told jokes for 5 minutes.
The television crew loved it as we had the tournament officials ready to piss
in their pants.

We all went into the clubhouse for a drink and dinner. I lit a cigarette and
blew out the smoke saying, "Our caddies didn't say a word to us the entire
two days. Was it our breath?" Aleshia said, "Caddies are not suppose to talk
to the players. It's considered rude." Barb and Brandy were howling and Barb
said, "That explains it. One of the officials pulled me aside and told me to
shut my mouth and Brandy told her to fuck off." Aleshia was covering her eyes
with her hands and said, "I love it." We had a toast to all of us winning and
then to Debbie for beating us in the playoff. I said, "That was one hell of a
drive on the last hole. You had to fly that 310 in the air." Trisha said,
"Last hole? Damn, you both got a hole in one on a par five. That's a record
anywhere. I don't care if it is only 400 yards."

Most of the other players came into the clubhouse and one of them toasted all
of us. It was very nice. They wanted a speech and so Debbie and did our next
ten reasons to live on Kranid. Brandy started to wet her pants and that's
when we all lost it laughing. The player that toasted us came over and said,
"We all saw your show the other night. You are terrific musicians, very funny
performers, and unbelievable Small-Ball players. Where is your planet?"
Aleshia explained it and the player said, "The one that exploded. Oh course,
that was your broadcast we watched. All of us loved that show. I'm glad you
survived. Usually when they send Aleshia to a world, it means that it's in
big trouble. We get the easy assignments." Aleshia said, "That's not true. I
only had one that we had to vaporize. They won't stop and had the fucking
laser weapons pointed at us." I said, "How many have you been too?" She said,
"You are number 4. Number 2 was the vaporization routine. Lois is from planet
number 3." The player that was talking said, "I'm Lois. Our planet nuked
itself also which seems to be a chronic problem in the universe lately. We
couldn't even live there. Everyone that passed the lie detector test came to
live here 5 years ago."

Lois and her friend Megan sat with us and we talked about what her world was
like and we told her about ours. We talked a for long time and she said, "You
miss it?" I said, "We sure do." Debbie named all of the places and what they
were like and we talked about Alaska and Maine. Then I talked about Hollywood
and the movies we made. Brandy said, "I miss NASCAR" and told everyone about
it. Lois said, "How in the fuck could they blowup something that nice? Our
planet was a sewer." I said, "A few bad leaders in half of the world and it
was over in seconds, followed by a year of nuclear winter." Aleshia said,
"They're the ones that gave us the soaps to extend our lives. Kate, tell them
how old you are." I said, "Debbie and I are 58 and in your years that's 116.
My mom is 81 and looks like my sister. That's 162 here. The soap saved all of
our lives and the people still on Earth from the radiation. It's not really
the soap, it's the flowers that it's made from."

The clubhouse was closing and I said to Lois, "You are welcome to come visit
us and play a real golf course." She said, "Can we come now?" I said, "Sure.
Get your things." We walked to the transportation center and all beamed to
our house. Lois said, "Where are we?" I said, "The basement in our house.
Come upstairs." It was dark outside and I said, "The time zone is different.
It's 11 at night here. Let me show you to a bedroom." She said, "This is your
private house?" Debbie said, "Yup. Welcome to our castle. We have a lot of
friends and relatives living with us. They moved in before the blast and
stayed. We like it this way better anyway. The house is always full of
people."

We showed them to an empty room and Megan said, "My God is this huge." I
said, "Enjoy yourself. There's a full bath in the room. We'll wake you for
breakfast. If you get up before us just go downstairs and introduce
yourselves. Maria will make you breakfast."

Debbie and I went to our room and I set the alarm clock. She put her arms
around me and said, "You need to congratulate me for winning the playoff." I
kissed her and we undressed as I was telling her a story about a little girl
that won a race by running real hard to beat everyone in the last 5 seconds.
Debbie was hanging onto every word and said, "So what happened to her?" I
said, "Everyone hated her for being a show off." We laughed and she kissed me
as we rolled on the bed. She whispered into my ear, "You are such a fuck
sometimes, but I love you anyway." I was laughing as Debbie went down on me
and ate my pussy. The laughing quickly turned to moaning.

She kissed me after she made me nuts and I apologized. Debbie gave we the
softest sexiest kiss and I melted in her arms. Then we had totally outrageous
sex before we fell asleep.

We got up in the morning and went into to wake to up Lois and Megan. They
were already up so we went into our bathroom and showered, and dressed. They
were in the kitchen having breakfast when we walked downstairs and my mom
said, "We watched Lois and Megan play in the tournament. They could be as
good as you two, if you teach them how to swing the clubs the way you do."
Debbie said, "That's on the agenda for today." Maria handed us each a plate
and we ate our breakfast and had coffee.

Brandy came into the kitchen and said, "We're taking a trip to the beach in
Miami today. You want to come or you playing golf?" I said, "We're teaching
Lois and Megan our way of playing today. Have fun!" I called the course and
said, "Hi Jerry, it's Kate. Can you get out a foursome at about noon? We're
going to be spending a few hours at the range." "Great. See ya in a few."
Debbie started to explain Golf here and she said, "It will seem very
difficult at first. Aleshia struggled with it and look what it did to her
game." I said, "You can't touch the ball, except to mark it on a green or tee
it up on a tee box. You have to play it where it lies, no matter what. There
are no free anything. Every shot counts and penalties. It's a very difficult
game on earth and the courses are much longer."

We went to the garage and they looked at the cars. Lois said, "Wow! What are
all of these?" I said, "Very expensive automobiles. We have to drive to get
to the course. Put your clubs in the trunk of the Rolls." I drove us the ten
minutes to the course with the top down and Lois said, "This is so nice." We
got out of the car and someone took our bags and then parked our car for us.
I said, "Hi Tommy, can we get carts today? We're going to the range for a
while." Lois said softly, "What was that?" I said, "A man. Your planet didn't
have men either?" She said, "No. I've never seen one."

He brought the carts over and put our bags on it and we went into the pro
shop. I said, "Hi Jerry. You still have any of those swing trainer clubs? I
want to buy two of them." He got out two and said, "Have fun today. How was
the tournament you played in on Tara?" I said, "After we play today we'll buy
you a beer and make you laugh for hours. Debbie and I were 99 under par for
four rounds. The rest is even funnier."

We went to the range we taught them how we swing a golf club. It took about a
half hour and they were hitting the ball solid. I said, "Now we work on the
distance of your clubs." Lois hit and 8 iron and said, "My God. I hit it 150
yards." I said, "You should be able to get 160 out of it. That's what we
get." Megan hit it 160 and was laughing so hard she feel over. We worked with
Lois again on her turn and she got it to 160 also. Then they hit the drivers
and we were laughing as Lois hit one over the 290 sign. I said, "Our golf
balls don't go as far as the ones on Tara. We use these when we play because
we're use to the distance we get."

We got snacks to eat and a few beers as we took the carts to the first tee
box. I said, "420 yard par 4." They both had their eyes bugged out and I
said, "Watch us tee off." Debbie and I both had good drives and they hit
theirs right next to us. We drove the carts to the balls and I said, "You can
not touch the ball. Hit it exactly as it lies. You are 145 to the flag." Lois
took a nine iron and I said, "Right club." She hit it perfect and it was
within a few feet of the pin. We all congratulate her and then Megan hit
next. We were all on the green and putting for birdie.

The round was interesting as we all got into trouble on a hole. Megan was in
the 6 inch deep rough and said, "How do I get out of this stuff?" I said,
"Hit a sang wedge as hard as you can towards the green. The grass will make
your ball go to the left, so aim right." She got it out and was close to the
green and I said, "Now swing the club the way you use to, to get the
accuracy. You're 36 yards from the flag." She was within an inch of the hole
and said, "Cool."

We finished the round and I had a 66. Debbie had a 67, and Megan and Lois
both had a 68. I said, "Now think about how easy it is to play on Tara." Lois
said, "This is so much more fun and challenging." We went to the clubhouse
and bought Jerry a beer as we laughed for about an hour. He said, "You two
set records on these courses. I can only imagine what it was like. Hey, I
have something for you. The old PGA and LPGA merged and we now have one golf
association called the PGA. We have 210 players and the tournaments are
starting again next month. We all assumed you six would be playing." I said,
"Make that 9. Aleshia, Lois, and Megan also." Jerry said, "Fill these out
while your here." We filled out a form for everyone and he said, "I can't
wait to watch you two clean everyone's clock again. Now that was golf."

We went back to our place and I said, "We'll give you the tour." We showed
them around the house and they saw all of the awards we had in the den. I
said, "Before the nukes went off." We explained what they all were and Lois
said, "You acted in movies too?" Lee-Ann was in the den and said, "The
funnies movies you ever saw, and also some of the best dramas. Check out all
of those Oscars. They only gave one away in each category every year." We
finished the tour and they wanted to watch one of our movies. I said, "Funny,
sad, or scary." Megan said, "Funny first and then scary." We had Maria bring
us sandwiches in the den and beer as we put on "Fore!" We still laugh when we
see it. Lois and Megan were hysterical.

The movie ended and I said, "You still want to see a scary one?" They did so
Debbie put on Simple Meg. We explained it before it started and I said,
"Debbie and I loved making this movie. It changed our lives forever." We
watched it and got so involved in again. Debbie put her fist to her heart and
said, "Meg loves Cat so much." She smiled and I kissed her as Lois and Megan
were crying at the movie. The ended scared the shit out of them. They both
looked at us and I said, "Trust me. It was only a movie." Lois said, "That
was so unbelievable. You should release these movies on Tara." I said,
"People wouldn't understand most of them because there is so much stuff about
earth in them; especially the golf ones. There is one more of those too
called `Three!'" They wanted to watch it so Debbie put it on and we had Maria
make us some popcorn.

We still laughed at that one too. We told them about trick shots and how we
really used them in tournaments because you can't move the ball here. The
four of us were laughing and the whole crew came in to watch and have drinks.
Harry said, "Best movie we ever made. You ready to do another film? We're
almost ready." Debbie said, "Definitely." Everyone was cracking up and Lois
and Megan were also crying from laughing so hard.

The movie ended and Harry said, "Lois, you think people on Tara would like
that film?" She said, "It's funny as hell. Of course they would. The first
one was just as good. The Simple Meg one was about as good as it gets. That
scared the crap out of me at the end." Victor said, "Lets release them
through Stef. She wants to do it. You watch Punish the Innocent yet?" I said,
"We just showed them these three." Harry said, "Let them watch it and see if
they think it will go over on Tara."

Debbie put it on and I remembered it like it was yesterday as we watched the
movie and shared our popcorn. Lois and Megan we holding hands and jumped at a
few parts squirming during the murder scenes. They cried at the ending.
Debbie put her head on my breast and said, "I really miss they way it was
honey." I held her and said, "Me too."

Harry said, "Megan, you think it's worth releasing on Tara?" She said, "It's
so sad. What a great movie. Did you win those Oscars for these films?" Harry
said, "They won Oscars for every film and Grammies and CMAs for ever CD, and
trophies for every race they drove in and for every golf tournament they
played in. I miss anything?" Everyone was laughing and Brandy said, "I'm sure
there's something else, but who cares." Debbie and I were blushing and Lee-
Ann said; "Now that is definitely a first. They're both blushing."

We stayed up until 3 in the morning talking about what every trophy was and
the kids showed videos of us winning races and golf tournaments. I said,
"Lets get some sleep." Debbie and went upstairs and we lay in bed cuddling. I
said, "I miss it also honey, but we can't look back." We softly caressed each
other and kissed for a half hour and then feel asleep. We were both so upset
watching our old movies.

We woke up early and Debbie lit a cigarette and said to me, "I don't want
Harry to release those films. That really upset me watching them. The music
is different and so is any new film we make." I kissed her and said, "I
couldn't have said it better." I lit a cigarette and we lay against each
other talking about our trips to Alaska, Africa, Australia, and Maine. I
said, "We'll find another Alaska somewhere." Debbie touched my face with her
hand and said, "I hope so. Kate, I love you more than life itself and will go
anywhere with you. Lets find our next Alaska together. I loved how we were
exploring new places together." We finished our cigarettes and we made
passionate love.

Debbie and I kissed for a long time afterwards and then took a shower. We
went downstairs for breakfast and Harry was eating.  I said, "Harry, please
don't release those films. Debbie and I were so upset last night after
watching them again.  We really don't want them released again." He said, "I
understand. I didn't sleep either. There are way too many good memories in
those films for all of us."

We ate breakfast and talked about what we really wanted to do next. I said,
"We want to find another Alaska to explore, or another Maine with a cabin on
a lake. We'll still do the CDs and movies and play golf, but that's what we
want in life." Harry said, "Good luck. There's no Alaska here anymore. It's
under 400 feet of ice. I want things the way they were more than anything,
but it's not going to happen. We're stuck with the reality of the new earth,
like it or not." Debbie said, "We can dream can't we? I dreamt that Kate and
I were camping and fishing in our favorite place in Alaska last night. I was
so happy."

Everyone started coming downstairs and they all said the same thing. Don't
release the films. Lois and Megan came down last and they said, "Who died?" I
said, "Watching those films last night made us all remember what it was like
here, and we all got upset over it. There are too many memories in those
films to release them." Lois said, "This place is so much nicer than our
planet ever was. The scene in the last movie we watched with broken down
trailers, that was our planet to a tee. All of it. Dirty, crowded, small
places, and no privacy. This is like paradise. I can only image what it was
like before. I completely understand how you feel." Debbie said, "Sit down
and we'll show you what it was really like. Kate, I need to see our photos. I
really need to see them again." Lee-Ann went to get the albums and we showed
Lois and Megan pictures of Alaska and Maine. They cried as they looked at
them and we all cried with them. Debbie and I held each other for a good cry
and we felt better. Lois said, "The idiots that nuked your planet killed
heaven and didn't even realize it. There is no planet that has things like
that. We've been to 15 of them." Debbie and I really cried again and so did
Harry.

Debbie and I got our emotions back in check again and I said, "We're taking
out the spacecraft to see what's left on the west cost up towards Washington.
Anyone want to come with us?" Everyone wanted to go so we all walked to the
new building we had put up and Debbie hit the switch for the roof.

We got into the craft and I said, "Lets take a little ride and follow the
coast line." Debbie gave the speech that the fight attendants use to give on
the airplanes and everyone was laughing again. I said, "Hold on. Debbie and I
like this part." We hovered at 100 feet and then went to full throttle.
Everyone was glued to the chairs as we watched the ground on the monitor
wall. We pulled it up to 5,000 feet and Harry said, "Shit!" I said, "Welcome
to flying NASCAR. We'll be at the coast in about 5 minutes. Debbie take us
down to Mexico first and we'll fly up slowly."

We found the coast line and then slowed down as we all looked at the monitor.
We found were San Francisco was and then slowed down as we came to the
mountains. We hovered in a few spots and I said, "Take a look at the coast
past Seattle." Everyone was explaining to Lois what use to be here as Debbie
said to me, "Check this out. Lets land and see what it's like." We hovered
and then landed on the very large beach. I said, "We want to check this out.
We're above where the quake hit and since the earth tilted, we're below the
snow line in this section of Canada."

We all walked out of the craft and onto the beach. It was a little chilly but
not bad and the sea breeze felt great. Debbie and I immediately smiled as we
saw a few seals honking and walking up to the ship. I said to Debbie, "We
found it." She put her arm over my shoulder and we walked to the water and it
was gorgeous and blue. We heard sea gulls and the waves crashing on the shore
and Debbie said, "Music to my ears honey. Lets explore more from the ship."
We all went back in and Harry said, "Maybe there is hope after all." We
hovered in a few spots and found some many places we wanted to come back too.
There was a lake, and we could see fish in the water as we hovered. We went
over the mountains and there were ice ledges and cliffs. Everyone was smiling
and I said, "Time to go back. We found it."

Debbie and I banked the ship to turn around and then we headed back. We were
home in 5 minutes and landing as Harry said, "How fast we were going?" I
said, "About 25,000 miles an hour when we went slower, and 100,000 miles and
hour when we took off. We can go light speed, which is really cool. Want to
see it?" Everyone wanted to get out and we were laughing. Harry said, "You
feel better now?" I said, "Much." Lois said, "This really is paradise. You
have no idea what you have here." I said, "You want to see Miami Beach?" We
let everyone out and then Lois and Megan went with us to Miami Beach. We
landed way out of the way and walked the beach for a while.

Then we flew over and the keys and islands. Lois said, "That's beautiful. The
water is light green." We went back home and Debbie and I felt so much
better. We took the horses out with Lois and Megan and they had never seen a
horse before. I said, "They're very gentle animals. We like to ride them.
We'll go slow. Just hang onto the reigns and pull back to make the horse
stop. They're pretty smart animals."

We stopped at the house and I said, "Did Chelsea move into the place next
door yet?" Lee-Ann said, "Yesterday while you were playing golf." We rode the
horse to her place and she saw us and waved. I said, "You won't believe what
we just found." We stopped for a while and I introduced Lois and Megan and
then we told her what it was like. She said, "I'm so glad. Nature has a way
of healing itself in time. Even Europe may come back. You like the new White
House?" I said, "Excellent. Don't be a stranger."

We rode the horses around for a while and then went back to the stables. Lois
said, "You have no idea how good you have it. You feel like taking a trip
with us?"

We went into the basement and transported to Tara to where they live. It was
small and cramped, but nice. Lois said, "Have a seat and I'll show you what
the other worlds are like." We watched a computer display pictures they took
and Lois said, "This is the cesspool we lived on. The sky was always gray,
and so was the ground. This is planet Lander. It's about the same as that."
She showed us photos that were depressing. The planets were dirty,
overcrowded, and gloomy. She said, "You're planet is like a paradise compared
to what I've seen. I'd love to live there." Debbie said, "Move in with us. We
have tons of extra room. You can sleep in the room you were in last night if
that's okay with you." They were jumping up and down and Lois gave me the
wettest kiss and then she kissed Debbie. She said, "How could we ever repay
you for staying in your home?" I said, "You already gave us the ability to
see what we had all along. All you have to do is give us a good game of golf
and enjoy the place with us."

We helped them pack their things and Lois called someone to carry it with us
to the transportation center. We piled everything up on one of the standing
positions and then we stood in the spots, as Debbie pressed the code into the
computer.

In the basement we dragged the stuff off the transportation platform and then
we each carried up one thing into the kitchen. I said, "Lets relax for a
while and then get the rest of it." Harry walked into the kitchen and said,
"You have 10 minutes for a family and friends meeting?" I said, "Sure."
Everyone was in the living room and I said, "Before we start, Lois and Megan
are moving in with us." Everyone was introducing them selves and Linda said,
"They got you hooked on golf too, I take it." Lois said, "We love it.
Actually, we love everything about earth. It's so much nicer than any other
planet. You have no idea what you have here."

Debbie and I sat on the couch as Harry stood up and said, "Yes we do know
what we have here, and you helped us realize it today. We all did some
thinking about it too. Kate, before you and Debbie say no to this, please
hear us out. All of us are bordering on a mental breakdown. We went through
hell, and never grieved. Instead, we entertained others to help them get
through it. Victor and I want to make a movie about us, and planet earth.
What it was, what we went through, what others went through, and what we
still have. It will give us a chance to remember, grieve, and tell our story
for everyone to see it on earth and on other worlds. Everyone needs closure
and this will help bring it to them, and us. A way to see what happened,
remember it, and then move on. Seeing the Canadian West Coast made me realize
we still have a really nice place to live. I want everyone to know that also.
I don't care if this is a 2 hour or 8 hour movie. Whatever it takes to tell
our story and convey what we want it to say. The movie theaters are opening
again now and we have 12 new films being made that are mediocre at best. This
will be a beginning of a new era of filmmaking. What a great way to start it.
Kate, we want everyone to play them selves in the film. We recorded
everything that happened, plus we saved every film clip we ever had in the
vault. Every TV broadcast we did was taped and so was every TV transmission
from a month before the blast. We have home videos and pictures, and all of
it tells the story. My guess is that it will only take about a month of real
filming and then 2 to 3 months of editing with you, Debbie, me, and Victor
narrating portions of it. What do you say?"

I turned to Debbie and said, "I say yes. How about you honey?" She smiled at
me and said, "Only if we can film some new stuff on the West Coast and also
film some funny things in it also. I don't want this to be a totally
depressing film." Harry said "It won't be depressing, except for a few parts.
I wanted to call the film `Oh Beautiful', from the first line of the song
America the Beautiful." Debbie and I started to sing it and then everyone
else joined in and Harry got teary eyed. I said, "You're going to be worse
about this than we are." He said, "I really need to do this." Debbie and I
got up and hugged him and I said, "Lets do it after we get some help with
Lois and Megan's stuff. We dragged some of it up, but we need some help."
Harry was smiling and said, "Lets go gang. It's a small price to pay for
doing this movie."


CHAPTER 46 - OH BEAUTIFUL


Everyone welcomed Lois and Megan with a toast at dinner and they fit right
in. They also slept with us and we taught them what sex was like with us.
Lois called it better than paradise when we showed them about their G-spot
and dual orgasms.

The next day, the entire crew met in the great room and we had flip chart
stands set up in the front of the room and we made outlines of the story
line, where we get existing footage, and what we had to shoot new. I said,
"We need a writer." Harry looked at us and said, "Time for our last secret.
Kate, Victor and I used 3 other names so we could do this anonymously. We are
Jason Flick, Barry Edge, and Cheryl Jones. Those names ring a bell?" I said,
"You wrote those scripts? Why didn't you tell us?" He said, "We didn't want
you to feel obligated to pick those over the other ones. We wanted to make
the best film, and if our scripts couldn't cut it, then we'd use some other
one. Punish the innocent was our first, the golf movies, the western, and a
few others. We can write this one too." My mom stood up and started clapping.
We all did, and Harry and Victor were smiling.

We talked a lot about the beginning of the movie and Harry said, "Think of
this. We start with the America song showing still pictures of your vacation
in Alaska, then interject some of the outrageous NASCAR footage, your concert
footage, the Grammies, Oscars, the kids, the other bands, the cars, airport
footage, city footage, beaches, all within about 5 minutes. Anything anyone
else can think of, we'll include also. I want to show the best of the best.
Then we take it into new shot footage of how you found the soap, some of our
lives, and then into how everything stopped in total suspense waiting for the
worst day on earth. How we prepare for it, and what others didn't. Then we
film the horrible night and use the real footage intermixed with shot scenes.
The panic in the streets, the stores, the banks, and the government."

Harry took a deep breath and said, "Then we film parts of the longest night
ever, intermixed with the TV shows you did. The euphoria of the sun coming
out followed by the deluge of floods and our survival with Chelsea, and
making the soap available to everyone. Then we go into our rescue by Aleshia.
I want to end the film with your marriage, the birthday concert, all of you
playing golf again, and footage we record on the west coast of some of us on
a back to nature vacation. What do you think?" I said, "Vote time. Everyone
agree?" We all raised our hands and Harry said, "Excellent!" Lee-Ann said,
"How about me and Caryn work with Mary and Beth to write some songs for it.
Mom, you and Debbie can help too if you want."

  . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Over the next month, Harry and Victor finished the script and had tons of
footage digitized and already placed in areas and edited so they knew what
had to be filmed. We worked with the kids to help them get ideas and then
they wrote the music with Mary and Beth. It was unreal. They asked us to
record it and I said, "Next month. Lets make sure we like the plot when it's
all put together."

Lois and Megan loved everything here. Especially driving the Ferrari. They
already beat us at golf and they were really good. I said, "A 62 on this
course is outrageous." Lois said, "We can't wait until we play next week in
the PGA event. This is so much more fun than on Tara. Kate, we both love it
here." We played the event and all had a great time. Trisha won it by a
stroke and eight of us tied for second. This was a nerve racking tournament
and we all felt it, but loved the rush we got.

The next month we filmed most of the footage we needed for the film. Aleshia,
Aria, and Stef helped us and were in the film also. They also gave us all of
the footage taken from the ship of the planet exploding, the tsunami waves,
radiation level readings, the start of nuclear winter, and then agreed to
film several scenes of the crew on the ship arguing about vaporizing the
planet, which was real. Debbie and I did some really funny things in the
filming and Harry said, "Some of this film will be a total piss, and other
parts will be a nightmare."

Debbie, Harry, Victor and me, spent about three weeks at the editing lab in
our old record company building working on putting the film together and
recording the narration. Harry wrote parts of it so we actually said what we
were thinking at the time. This was scary stuff as his script matched what we
were each thinking exactly. We did six filmed interviews in the studio
including Doris, who bought our house that we filmed Simple Meg in, from the
last owner. She survived along with her daughter, but her husband and son
didn't. This interview was as hard as it gets. She told us about running out
of food and how her husband and son went out to get anything they could eat,
which was only every three days. She said, "In the 11th month of darkness, my
husband and son never returned and we knew they froze to death. God forgive
me, but we had to eat our dog and cat to survive. They were dying anyway, but
I will never forgive myself. The only thing that kept us going was seeing
Kate and Debbie on that TV show. It was silly and that's what we all needed
to hold it together a little longer. When the sun came out, my daughter and I
cheered for 2 hours. Then the floods left us stranded again for 3 weeks."

We all knew this movie was as good as it gets, when we edited what we had
finished so far. Harry said, "Lets go on a camping trip." That was a little
easier said than done. Aleshia was big help and showed us the lower level of
the ship had a cargo bay with a ramp that opened to allow vehicles to be
driven onboard. Thanks to Chelsea, we managed to get 6 Hum Vs that were used
by the National Guard and had been converted to total solar power. We already
had the camping gear and the hard part was restricting the first trip to 30
of us. We all agreed that Lois and Megan were included, as it was them that
inspired us to make this happen. They were blushing and hugged us. Everyone
voted to make it the same trip as last time if they wanted to go. Lee-Ann put
her arm over my shoulder and said, "Mom, me and Caryn are definitely going."
Harry and Victor were going to do the filming and sleeping with Lois and
Megan. We loved it.  Harry said, "When this is over, I'm taking one of those
pills and so is Victor." I said, "Do it on the film." He smiled and said,
"Maybe."

We loaded the HUM Vs and drove them onto the ship, and then loaded other
supplies in the ship also. Victor filmed all of it. We all boarded and he
filmed me and Debbie flying the ship, including our NASCAR Style racing as
everyone was laughing about it. We went up the coast as Victor filmed the
screen in the craft and Debbie said, "That's where we should land for the
first night."

We set down in a grassy area off the beach and set up the campsite, as Victor
filmed all of it. So many funny things happened. When digging the toilet hole
it kept filling up with ocean water as soon as we dug down 3 feet. Debbie
yelled, "No big shits allowed on this trip. That includes you too Harry." We
showed Lois and Megan how to catch crabs and we had so many large ones as the
seals were honking at us and swimming around by us.

We showed Lois and Megan how to surf, as we brought our boards and we had a
blast. Brandy and Barb were as funny as it gets in the water. We didn't give
a shit about the filming. We just loved doing this stuff.

We had a huge bonfire that we cooked the crabs on in large tubs, and then
sang songs to folk guitars at night. Debbie and I were on a roll telling
jokes and Victor was laughing to hard to film some of them. Then we were
busting Harry and Victor about taking the pill and I said, "We have two of
them in the ship. Do it tonight." They were both blushing and then agreed.
Lee-Ann filmed all of it and it was priceless. We put them in a tent in the
sleeping bag naked and then Lois and Megan got in with them as we filmed
zipping the tent shut. Lois and Megan were making noises and telling us about
what was happening for about 20 minutes as we were all cracking up.

Lee-Ann turned off the camera and said, "Let's go to bed mom." The four of us
went into our tent and we had totally outrageous sex for about 4 hours. I had
my ass fucked for two hours by Lee-Ann and then Caryn, as Debbie and I were
inseparable. Camping here was heaven to us.

Lee-Ann woke us up early and said, "I want to film dad and Victor when they
have to piss." We were laughing as we got dressed and went outside as the sun
was rising. Lee-Ann filmed Debbie and me holding hands and kissing in front
of the sun rising over the dunes. We heard rustling in the tent and Lee-Ann
said, "Okay, here goes." She filmed two drop dead gorgeous women run out of
the tent naked with hardons to piss. She said to me, "My God do they look
terrific." Lee-Ann was filming and said, "Smile dad." Harry and Victor
blushed and then we were all laughing as Lois and Megan came out with us,
totally naked. Lois said, "We'll break them in the right way." She winked at
me and we were laughing again as Lee-Ann filmed it.

Harry and Victor went back into the tent and the tent was rocking as Lee-Ann
filmed it. We were dying and cracking jokes about it. Brandy and Barb joined
us and we made breakfast for everyone as people were getting up. After we
ate, Debbie and I filmed Lee-Ann and Caryn walking on the beach and talking
about how much they loved it here.

After Harry and Victor were baptized, they came out of the tent and I said,
"You are both total sex pots and gorgeous." Harry said with his new higher
voice, "Thanks, it's now Vicky and Harriet." Debbie and I gave them both a
wet kiss and Vicky said, "Damn is this hot." Lee-Ann was filming it as Caryn
was laughing her ass off.

We took out the HUM Vs and moved the camp to the mountains. We fished in a
lake and caught some huge fish. We swam and hiked up a mountain to the snow
line also. The next day we used the rafts we brought to run the rapids on a
river, and then we packed up camp to go to where we saw the ice glacier
breaking apart on the far side of the lake. This was breathtaking and Vicky
got some great shots. We changed tents that night and Debbie and I slept with
Harriet and Vicky. This was seriously hot.

The last day we went back by the ship to spend it on the beach and set up the
tents again. At night, we had a bonfire again and Vicky filmed all of us
singing America the Beautiful and the new songs we wrote for the movie to
Debbie playing a folk guitar. This was so moving for all of us. Vicky had
tears in her eyes and said, "That's a rap everyone." She turned off the
camera and hugged Harriet and they both cried hard for a long time on each
other's shoulders.

Debbie and I made passionate love to each other in the tent that night and
Lee-Ann and Caryn were the same way. After we had breakfast in the morning,
Harriet made a speech to all of us and ended it with, "We did it. We let our
emotions guide the movie and it will have an impact like no other film ever
made. Lets head back today and finish the editing, and then all watch a
screening as we remember all of it, one last time. This has been the best
therapy for all of us we could have ever had." All of us hugged them and then
we packed up and loaded up the ship.

Debbie and I took it easy getting home and it took 10 minutes this time
before we set the ship down in the building. The kids took care of unloading
as we went to the film editing lab with Harriet and Vicky.

It took us another 3 days, and when we finished Debbie said to me, "This is
the best movie ever. I love how you narrated the ending over the singing at
the campsite. Vicky did such a great job writing that part. I still feel like
crying."

We went home as Harriet and Vicky were burning a DVD for all of us to watch
and everyone wanted to know what it was like. Debbie said, "The best movie of
all time and 4 hours long." Maria made sandwiches for everyone to eat in the
den as Jack hooked up all TVs to play the DVD from one player. Debbie and I
made ourselves a drink and Harriet came in and said, "It's done!" We gave
them both a drink and a sandwich and Vicky said, "It is so powerful. Lets
invite Chelsea and Jeff over to see it with us." Lee-Ann said, "They're on
their way, and so is Aleshia, Aria, and Stef."

We all ate and Debbie and I clicked our glasses and took a sip of our drink.
All of the others showed up and Chelsea said, "Am I going to cry?" I said,
"Most likely. It was therapy for all of us." She smiled and said, "I need
it."

Harriet said, "We all ready?" Everyone went to sit by a TV in the rooms and
Chelsea and the others stayed with us and so did the kids, our band, Lois,
Megan, and Aleshia, Aria, and Stef. Vicky pressed play and turned up the
sound and we all watched the film. Debbie and I lit cigarettes and we watched
the beginning and it didn't upset us anymore. We really enjoyed seeing it.

The movie was moving beyond belief and also funny in many parts. When we
showed the planet explode from space, the tsunamis, and the night start,
everyone screamed from the other rooms. Harriet and Vicky were holding hands
and tightly as they watched it. It really was their therapy.

The movie didn't seem like four hours as all of us were into it. Watching the
ending was wonderful. The singing scene where I narrate over the singing had
everyone crying, and then really crying, including me and Debbie, but we knew
now we were over it. We'd never forget it, but we had closure.  The credits
ran to a frozen shot of us in Alaska again as America the Beautiful played
and everyone cried like babies. The screen went black and Vicky turned it off
and said emotionally, "How'd we do?"

Chelsea ran up and hugged her as she cried and then hugged all of us. She
said, "You did real good. We all needed this and so does everyone on this
planet." Aria was hysterically crying and said, "This was a paradise and it
still is. I wish Tara was like this. Everyone on our world would pay to see
this multiple times. No movie has ever made me cry before like this one did."

Everyone was coming in from the other rooms with teary eyes and hugging all
of us. Jack said, "This was the best movie I've ever seen."

We all had a few drinks and talked about the film. Everyone loved the funny
camping scenes and the songs the kids with Mary and Beth wrote. Harriet said,
"Lets record them with the band and release them at the same time."

My mom walked over to Harriet and put her hand on her face and said,
"Harriet, you are so beautiful and so is Vicky. Why didn't you take the pill
sooner?" Vicky said, "We finally accepted what happened to us and decided to
make the most out of it now. This was our closure to our old lives."

The next day we started production of the DVDs and also the advertising on
the television networks about the movie. It was the topic of every talk show
discussion. Stef started distribution in their media format and advertising
on Tara also. We had the opening for the movie on Saturday, with the first
showing in Nashville, with Chelsea there with us to make a speech about it.
It was playing on all 12 screens in the theater and we gave a speech outside
that was televised. Chelsea said, "This movie is real. All of the events,
footage, and then some new clips were added. It's moving beyond belief, and
seeing it helped me to cope with what we have now. It made me realize we
still have a great country and a paradise compared to other worlds. Harriet,
Vicky, Kate and Debbie have made the best movie of all time. I couldn't be
prouder of all of them. Enjoy the show, and it's okay to cry. We all did when
we watched the screening."

We watched it again and we cried again, but not as much. The movie was
unreal. Everyone in the theater was hugging each other, even if they didn't
know one another. It was incredible. People came up to us after the movie was
over and hugged us and thanked us for making the movie and being on TV when
they really needed it.

When we got home, Stef came over and said, "It's a hit beyond belief. Every
theater is showing only this film now and there are lines blocks long to get
tickets. No one can believe how nice Earth is in the movie. I gave an
interview and said it was even nicer in person, and it really is."

Debbie and I went to bed and were lying in bed cuddling. She lit one of our
joints and took two deep tokes and then held it for me to toke on also. We
both blew out the smoke and Debbie said, "I still like the new laws better."
She toked again and I smiled and said, "Yup. It really is better now Meg. All
the bad people are gone." I put my fist on my chest and Debbie smiled saying,
"Very clever. God do I want to make love to you." We finished our joint and
we were both stoned as we made love. I wrapped my legs and arms around Debbie
as she lay on top of me and fucked my pussy. I pulled her into me hard with
my feet on her ass and she whispered into my ear, "I love you so much. I'm
cumming in you honey." Debbie jerked and moaned softly as I felt her cock
pulsate in my pussy and then fill me up with warm cum.

We kissed for a long time and then rolled over so I was on top of Debbie and
I made love to her the same way; soft and gentle. When I came in her pussy, I
kissed her ear and whispered, "Lets go camping again tomorrow. Just the two
of us." Debbie kissed me so hard and we rolled around in the bed as we
laughed at each other talking about all of the screwed up things we did
together on camping trips. We made love for 2 more hours and were so happy.

The next morning we told everyone that we were going by ourselves for a few
weeks and my mom was so worried about us. I said, "We promise to fly over the
house every four or five days. We just need to be alone like we use to do a
lot." She hugged us both and said, "I completely understand."

Everyone helped us pack up a hummer in the ship and also they made us promise
to take pictures and videos. We were stocked up on food also incase we needed
it and first aid supplies, you name it. My mom was so worried about us and
she hugged us as I said, "We'll be fine. Plus we have the communication
system in the ship if we get into trouble." I should have never said that as
my mom said, "What kind of trouble. Kate, you and Debbie behave." I said to
Debbie, "You have to love this. We're almost 60 and she thinks we're 17."

We finally left and went to the west coast first. We found so many other
places that were incredible. We took pictures of a frozen waterfall, and then
a real waterfall that was over 200 feet high, caused by the shift in the
earths crust. We swam in the lake under it and it was awesome.

We buzzed the house at the end of the week and everyone waved to us as we
went back. We did get into some serious trouble, but got very lucky. Debbie
and I were standing on an ice glazier and the piece were on broke off and
slid into the water. It was so cold, I thought we were done for. We both
grabbed onto one of the seals we were feeding before we fell in, and the
animal pulled us back to land. We froze until we started a fire. We also made
that seal so fat he could barely move. I think we're friends for life. He was
like a pet dog and we took pictures with him for almost a half hour. I put my
arms over Debbie in the tent and said, "That was really stupid. No more
walking on ice glaciers again. My mom was right." She put her fist to her
heart and said, "Meg is sorry Cat. Can we make a porno movie in the tent?" We
both laughed our ass off and set up the video camera to film us with the seal
in the tent watching us. We were so nuts.

We buzzed the house again and everyone waved and this time we decided to fly
up the east coast past New York City. The snow line had receded up to near
the great lakes but the geography was so different now. We thought that
something major must have happened here also that we didn't know about. We
filmed the screen in the ship to show everyone and then we landed by a lake.
There were a few old signs that had town names on them, but we couldn't read
them, as we set up our tent. We fished and goofed around and then two people
walked up to us and one said, "You're Kate and you're Debbie. Welcome to New
York State. I'm Elena and this is Clark." We were in shock and I said, "I
didn't know anyone survived this far up state. You live near here?" She said,
"We had a bomb shelter and were fine. We loved your show and the new movie is
amazing. We just got the DVD." I said, "Where? Is there a town here?" She
said, "Hell yeah. About 300 of us. The trucks are bringing us supplies again
from the cities now. Things are great."

We went in the Hum V to their house, which was only about 400 yards away and
they showed us where they stayed for the 16 months until the snow melted
here. It was really nice. We had lunch with them and told them about our
adventure on the west coast where we almost drowned and were saved by a seal.
Clark said, "Somehow I never pictured you two to be the outdoors type." I
said, "Surprise! We're about as country as it gets." Elena said, "Atlanta
accent?" Debbie said, "Very good." I asked what was around here now and they
had a map that had notes all over it. Clark said, "We explored about a 100
mile radius looking for survivors. We couldn't go any further and make it
back in a week."

We were reading the notes and I said, "Lake Erie is all frozen." Clark said,
"No it's not. It moved and is now only 10 miles from here. We had a quake
about 10.5 after the blast and it moved everything around. Lake Eerie now
covers all of this part of the map and it's as clean as can be. That's also
what caused half of New York City to be under water now." I said, "Feel like
taking a ride with us to do some exploring this afternoon?"

We brought them back to the ship and I said, "We have to buzz our house first
so they know we're still alive." Elena was cracking up as we took off and
played NASCAR racing over our house and we saw everyone waving in the
backyard to us.  Then we went back to where we were and I said, "Ten miles
north. Let's fly real slow." We were moving under 100 miles an hour and saw
the lake. It was huge and completely thawed.  Debbie connected the camera to
film the screen in the ship as we went around the lake. We went all the way
to the snow line and around it. Then we flew slowly over the rest of New York
State as Clark checked the map. He said, "What's that? Slow down." We saw an
area with people in tents and we hovered at a clearing and set the ship down.
We all walked to the group of people and they instantly recognize us. One
said, "We saw the movie and decided to camp the next few weeks. We love it
and the movie was so good. Thank you." Clark said, "Show us on this map where
you live." He took some notes and said, "Glad to met you. I'm Clark and this
is Elena. We live about 50 miles from you", and he pointed to the map.

We had a beer with them and they told us their story about how they survived.
They had a bomb shelter also that was built way back in 1960. One of the
woman said, "The canned food and water was still good. We really lucked out.
Your show kept us going and gave us some hope. At least we knew we weren't
alone. Just out of curiosity, why did you do that?" Debbie said, "Mainly to
beat the boredom and cheer up everyone that was with us. We had no idea if
anyone was watching the TV transmissions, but we kept it going just in case."

Clark and Elena got their names and phone numbers, and then we went back to
the ship and took off again. We went over to the coastline far north and went
fast until the snow line stopped again in Connecticut. It was a total mess
with oil everywhere and we didn't stop. We went back to where we were before
and landed. Clark and Elena thanked us and left to go home and we went back
to our tents and fished for dinner.

That night, Debbie and I were laying in our tent and cuddling after
outrageous sex and she said to me, "Honey, we have better sex than ever, we
are happy, we are exploring more things that ever, and are more popular. As
horrible as this sounds, I'm glad this happened. Its like mother nature or
God decided we needed to start this place all over again." I kissed her again
and said, "Debbie, what happened, happened. We didn't cause it. I like it
better now too, but lets not tell anyone else that." She looked me in the
eyes smiling and rolled over on top of me, sliding her hardon into my pussy
again. I whispered into her ear, "Fuck me good baby. I love you so much."

The next day we went to Lake Erie and caught what had to be an eighty pound
fish that was as tall as both of us. We worked for 3 hours to bring it into
shore. Debbie filmed us with it and then we cleaned it and had a great fish
dinner. We wrapped the rest of it and put it in the cold storage in the ship.

That night in the tent, Debbie was sitting on my cock as we had a cigarette.
She wiggled her pussy on my cock and we laughed and then moaned as I said,
"You ready for civilization again tomorrow?" She blew out the smoke and put
the cigarette in my lips and said, "I guess so. We can do this again any time
we want now that we know it's all here. I'm satisfied for a few months." She
wiggled her pussy again and I moaned and so did Debbie. She smiled and said,
"I know that felt good honey. Give me a drag of the butt before we put it
out." We fucked all night and then watched the sun come up together over Lake
Erie. We filmed it, as it was so beautiful.

Debbie and I made breakfast and then went back into the tent and slept for a
few hours. We woke up and then stayed as quite as we could, as we heard a
bear eating our left over breakfast. We looked through a slit in the tent and
waited for almost an hour until the two bears finished and went down to the
lake. She said to me, "We are so fucking stupid." We filmed the bears and
then packed up and went to the ship. I said, "Next stop Nashville. Home of
the country music and screen stars Kate Rodgers and Debbie Austin." Debbie
was laughing at me as we lifted off.

We were home in less than 3 minutes and landed the spacecraft in the
building. We drove the Hummer out of the ship and everyone was coming to the
building. My mom hugged me and said, "I'm glad you're back in one piece. Tell
us all about your trip when we get in the house."

Everyone helped us unload and then we went into the house. I said, "We have a
bunch of video and tons of information you won't believe." Chelsea was there
and said, "What information?" Debbie said, "Watch the tapes with us. You
won't believe some of it."

We showed the tapes and my mom was so pissed at us for falling in the ice
water. I said, "We did something stupid, but we met Harvey the seal. He even
watched us in the tent having sex and we filmed it." Everyone was laughing
and wanted to see that tape so we showed them 5 minutes of it with Harvey
lying next to our sleeping bag and honking. Brandy said, "You two are so
nuts." We also showed them the tape of the ice glacier that we were on that
broke. My mom smacked me lightly on the head and Debbie said, "You better hit
me too. It was my idea." My mom smacker her harder and we all laughed about
it.

We got into the stuff about New York State and Chelsea couldn't believe it. I
said, "They recorded a 10.5 earthquake, which is what caused half of New York
City to disappear into the ocean and Lake Erie to move. We didn't recognize
the geography. This is Clark and Elena, who lived there and that's the map
they used."

We spent about another hour showing them stuff and no one believed the fish
we caught or how stupid we were with the bears. I said, "We thought all of
the bears died, and the fish is in the refrigerator. That's what we carried
inside from the cold storage on the ship." Brandy told Maria to cook it to
serve with dinner tonight.

Debbie said, "We had more fun than ever before, got into trouble as usual,
and lived to tell about it. Our buddy the seal was the best and he really did
save our lives. We were panicking and grabbed onto him for dear life and he
pulled us back to land. We fed him so much he couldn't move and we became his
life long buddies. We already planned our next trip, which will be south on
the coastline and the islands. Anyone want to go with us?" Everyone wanted to
go.

Harriet gave us an update on the movie and said, "Nothing has ever come
close. Every theater is still packed with lines both here and on Tara. Aria
wants to show it on other worlds that are having conflicts to maybe make them
stop. I told her to do it." I said "So how is the sex life now?" She blushed
and so did Vicky. Debbie and I were howling.

We ate dinner and everyone tried some of our fish. It really was good. We got
an update from the troops about golf and Lois said, "We signed you up for the
PGA tournament in two weeks in Florida that is being televised to Tara also
on the final round." Brandy said, "We play a concert next week in Atlanta."
Debbie said, "Excellent!"

After dinner we were tired and Lee-Ann and Caryn went to bed with us. Debbie
lit a joint and took two tokes and said, "We need to take some grass with us
next time." She held the joint to my lips and I sucked in a few times and
held in the smoke. Lee-Ann said, "Mom, you two are as nutty as ever. I guess
you really liked the vacation." I said, "It was wonderful and we really do
like it here now. Maybe even better than before." Lee-Ann said, "Caryn and I
said that to each other last week too. The bad guys are all gone now." Debbie
said, "We're you two listening to our conversation in the tent last night?"
Caryn was laughing and said, "No mom. Give me a hit." Caryn took a deep toke
of the joint and smiled at us. We smoked four joints and were so stoned. Then
we made love.


CHAPTER 47 - NEW GENERATIONS


The next six years were by far the best in our lives ever.

Within 4 months, most of the troops moved out of our house into places of
their own again. My mom, Brenda, Debbie's mom, and Carrie got a place
together and were an item. The thing that surprised us most was that Harriet,
Vicky, Mary, and Beth moved in together. Mary and Beth were as good as
writing scripts as they were at writing music, and so far the four of them
have turned out 12 movies that were all blockbusters. Lee-Ann and Caryn
started in three of them, and they were as good as us. We were in four.

Lois and Megan found a place for sale on the golf course and were in love
with it, but were crying about the price. Debbie and I bought it for them and
also set them up with some money to live on earth. They truly found their
paradise. We also started a golf school with them, and the first set of
students were most of the players on Tara. Unfortunately, many of them didn't
want to go back after the two week lessons and playing here. We convinced
Stef to change the rules of Small-Ball and lengthen the courses, and the
problem was solved.  We play there all the time now also. Lois and Megan are
now running the teaching program and are as happy as it gets.

Jack ended up taking the DNA sex pill, and shacked up with our cook, Maria.
They moved to a rural section of New York State and are truly happy. We had
to hire a new cook and it was a comedy of errors. We had everyone that
applied cook for us and the first couple that applied made us a dish that
looked like the food we had in jail 50 years ago. When we took a bite of the
hamburger supreme they made for us, I wanted to puke. I said, "Have you ever
cooked before?" They both were blushing and one said, "Actually, no. We just
wanted to meet you." Debbie and I cracked up and then made them swallow a
bite of what they cooked. They both ran to the bathroom afterwards. We ended
up talking to them for about an hour and made them promise never to cook
again.

We ended up hiring a couple name Beth-Ann and Mary-Beth. I said, "You have to
cook for the 20 of us that are left in the house and keep the main rooms we
live in clean, take care of the grounds, the pool, t5eh stables, and then
clean the whole house once a month. We realize you can't possible do all of
that, so we want you to hire people or a company to take care of the grounds,
stables, and the cleaning, and you'll manage them. You get two cars in the
garage to use, can take one day off a week, and the pay will be 100,000 a
year as a couple. If you like to be adventuresome, you are also welcome to
come on any of our full family vacations once a year. You interested?" They
moved in that day, 5 and half years ago and are like part of the family.

One of the biggest changes in our society was that religion kind of fizzled
out. There were so many shows on TV debating the existence of God after our
movie was out and people were all saying the same thing, "If there was a God,
this would have never happened." Debbie said to me, "We both know that this
change was for the best." I said, "Be quite or we'll have the Catholic Church
sticking its' nose in everyone's business again."  There are still a few
small groups that practice religion, but for the most part it's gone. It
never existed on Tara or many of the other planets. Most people on earth
still celebrated Christmas, but it was mostly for the giving of gifts.

One thing that really bothered Debbie and me was that our money was being
used to back up the government. We spent a while taking to financial analysts
and we came up with a plan that was brilliant. We put together a presentation
for Chelsea and Jeff and I said, "The one area that has not recovered is the
clothing industry. New York City is basically gone, and that's where the
garment district was located. The cloths on the market are horrible at best.
Plus we have a unique opportunity where everyone needs cloths for the new sex
equipment. What if we develop a line of cloths called America the Beautiful
with the earth as a logo. The catch is that the company is under control of
the government and Chelsea, you are the CEO. If we follow the plan we put
together, you will be drawing a salary of about 1 to 2 million a year, be
able to pay for some much needed government services, and buy enough of our
gold that's the basis for the treasury. The plan has everything working on
it's own in 10 years, without one dollar of taxes. The cloths will sell
everywhere, and Aria is going to help get them into every store on Tara. The
only part we have to do here is design the cloths, set up a small factory to
produce the samples, and then use the Tara technology to clone them. It's
real cheap and real profitable." She said, "What are we waiting for? Lets get
started now!" We started the company in a month and had it profitable in two
months. That was 3 years ago. Now it's almost the only clothing line
anywhere.

Aleshia helped earth with the next wave of technology changes and that's when
we learned of her real role in Tara. She held the volunteer position of
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, which included Emergency Management and
technology distribution to other worlds. She helped us to use the spacecraft
to launch over 80 Tara made satellites into orbit around earth. Our weather
systems were back online again and the meteorologists found out a ton of
stuff that was on the news everyday for a week. The jet streams changed,
which explained a lot of the weird swings in climate. Nashville was mild most
of the time, with 2 months of cold weather in the 40s. Florida was in the 70s
and 80s all year round, but much drier. It really was a paradise. There
hasn't been one hurricane or severe storm since the floods receded. One the
dark side of the planet it's another story. As soon as one hurricane ends,
another one starts. Chelsea calls it Mother Nature's way of healing a wound.

Some of the other technology includes truly wireless communicators, which
have now replaced our phone system and they work off the transportation
devices, so you can call another planet. This is so slick. Aleshia gave us
200 personal transportation devices about the size of a pack of cigarettes.
She said, "These are very expensive to make. It's just like beaming from one
of the centers. Set the code and push the button, but you can go anywhere.
This book tells you how to figure out the codes." I said, "How expensive?"
She said, "About a thousand dollars each." Debbie and I made a deal to buy
one million of them and then resell then to the public at 2,500 each. They
were sold out in 4 weeks and then we did it again with another half a
million. We did make a few minor changes to the ones we sold, that limited
where people could beam too. Chelsea said, "I don't want Jacob the barber
beaming into my bathtub just to say hello." Debbie said, "Chelsea, you may
enjoy it. I saw his swank and it's 12 inches long."  Aleshia had some
software written for us that maps out the entire planet in codes and allowed
us to program each unit as it was sold. We always blocked off our homes.

Mary and Beth's computer nerd kids took over where Microsoft and IBM ended.
They are doing very well, and we used them to sell, program and distribute
the personal transportation devices. The new computers Aleshia introduced
through them are truly easy enough for a total dummy to use. They also have
holographic displays so you can use them without a monitor.

When it was only the 20 of us left in the house, it seemed so quite, and the
house seemed so huge now. Debbie and I loved it and became total sex maniacs,
and still are. We would watch TV naked in one of the dens and she would sit
on my lap, with her back to me, and wiggle my cock into her ass or pussy. We
would fuck as we watched TV and then change position several times during the
show. After a while, everyone was doing it also. You would have thought we
were filming porno movies when you came into our house.

The culture on Tara and other planets was completely different that what ours
was, and we slowly adopted it. Sex was considered natural and good, at any
age. A child had sex with their parents at an early age for bonding, and it
was encouraged. Debbie and I got so hot watching it on Tara.

Lee-Ann, Caryn, Tess, Beth-Ann, and Lindsey finally got pregnant and gave
birth. They decided to make us grandparents when everyone learned that with
the changes in our DNA from the pill, the child gestation period is only 4
months. Also, all children were born with both sex organs. Lee-Ann named her
daughter Alice, and Caryn named her daughter Kathy. They are both five years
old now and Debbie and I totally spoiled the kids. Besides having all of the
toys we saved from when they were kids, we bought everything on the market.
We also spent a lot of time playing with them and teaching them things. There
were just like their mothers, and us. My mom and Margi, Debbie's mom, come
over at least once a week to pamper the kids even worse. Lee-Ann is ready to
kill our moms and we just laugh about it.

The biggest change in the automotive world came from earth. Chelsea gave the
technology that was used by the Army to make solar powered Hummers to the car
manufacturers, and all new cars no longer need fuel of any kind. They are
also faster than hell, pollution free, and completely quite. Aleshia gave us
the tire technology used on Tara, which is completely different than rubber.
It's stickier and lasts over a hundred years without wearing out. That was
what we needed to get a racing program back on again, and we have NASCAR up
and operational at 12 speedways. Brandy, Barb, Trisha, and Tess are now
running the program and having a blast with it.

Education changed completely. The schools were fitted with the Tara Knowledge
Centers. The teachers focused on social, behavioral skills, art, and music
skills, and the knowledge centers did the rest. A child got a high school
education in a month. The rest of the time was spent on the social part of it
and the arts, followed by a full college and post-graduate level month.
Debbie and I spent three weeks in the ship getting every knowledge skill that
was in the computer. Aleshia told us we now have the equivalent of 68
doctorate degrees. Debbie said, "No wonder why head feels so fucking full."
Then she said it in 67 different languages and we all were cracking up, as we
understood every word of it.

Debbie and I continued to take vacations alone twice each year for two weeks.
We visited our friend Harvey the seal and he actually remembered us and
walked into our tent and laid down. Debbie and I made him so fat on the last
trip he could barely move. We thought he was just there to watch the sex
again.

On one of our vacations we really did get into serious trouble and had to be
rescued. The personal communicators and transportation devices truly saved
our ass. We went exploring in a section of Africa that now have no humans
left alive and we found some unbelievable things, including an active
volcano. We got way to close to the lava dome and it had a slight eruption
and a quake. We fell into a crevasse and fortunately landed on a ledge about
15 feet down, but were totally helpless to get out. I called Lee-Ann on my
personal communicator on my wrist and said, "Hi honey, we could sure use your
help for about 5 minutes. Debbie and I are kind of in a little bit of
trouble."

Lee-Ann transported to us, and then dropped our personal transportation
devices to us so we could get out. I said, "Thanks honey. If you tell your
grandmother about this you're dead meat." She was laughing as she transported
back home. Debbie and I moved our camp back to near the waterfall that we
fell in love with.

This year, Lee-Ann, Caryn, and their kids, Kathy and Alice, went with us on a
back to nature camping trip on the west coast. We took three tents and
started on the beach and then went to where we fell into the ice water off
the glacier to introduce everyone to Harvey. Alice and Kathy fell in love
with the idiot seal and had him sleep in their tent. We stayed there three
days and the kids cried when we had to leave. Alice was yelling at me,
"Grandma, we love Harvey! Why can't he come with us? Please, we'll be good."
I said, "Harvey would die in the warm weather and without the ocean to get
his food. We can come visit him again next year again. How about if we get
you some dogs to play with at home?" Alice said, "That's cool. Hey, Kathy,
we're getting dogs out of the deal. I told you crying always works." The four
of us laughed for hours after that one. Debbie said, "They're going to be
worse than all four of us put together."

That night Lee-Ann and Caryn slept in our tent and we had outrageous sex. The
kids walked in on us about 6 in the morning when were at it again and Kathy
said, "We knew you were having sex and we just wanted to watch. Don't stop
because of us. Hey Alice, check out how my mom's dick is in your Grand
mother's pussy. This is so cool." We kept going and then explained it to them
afterwards while we had a cigarette. Alice took a drag of my cigarette and I
said, "What do you think you're doing?" She said, "Smoking." Debbie said to
me, "Much worse than us by a long shot."

When we got home we saw the kids playing with their cocks to make them hard
and Alice slid hers into Kathy's small pussy. Kathy said, "Ouch. Oh damn it
Alice, you made me bleed." Alice said, "That's okay the first time. We
learned that in the ships knowledge computer, remember?" Then Alice put her
cock into Kathy, as Debbie and I were so hot watching them. They stole one of
our cigarettes and smoked it when they were done and Debbie said to me, "Far
worse! Totally worse! They can't even cum yet from their cocks, and they're
into it." We told Lee-Ann and Caryn what we saw and Lee-Ann said, "Figures.
Caryn and I were fingering each other and licking each other's pussies when
we were about 5 or 6." Debbie and I just laughed.

We did buy four dogs and hired someone to train them. The kids love the
stupid mutts.

The human population on earth was now about 12 million and growing. Housing
was expanding into the mid-west again and Chelsea said to us, "We need to
have an election." Aria and Aleshia were with us and Aria said, "Are you
nuts? Things are better now here than they ever were. Why fuck it up? Don't
fix it if I ain't broken!" Chelsea said, "I guess we could skip the
elections. What if people ask about it?" Aria said, "You're the President.
Tell them the truth that it's better now and ask them to prove you wrong."
This was the topic of a talk show and everyone agreed that elections were a
waste of time and money. We made sure Chelsea never had to worry about money
either, and set up an account fro her on top of what she was getting from the
company.

We brought back the NASCAR concerts and at the first event we had the
grandkids on stage with us, and our kids, for the last song of the night.
They were only 5 years old, but were so into the music and the screaming
fans. Alice said to me backstage, "Grandma, I want to be just like you and my
mom when I get a few years older. I loved being on stage like that." My mom
hugged all of us and said, "Kate, it's starting all over again. Alice looks
just like you and Kathy looks just like Debbie." We told her what we saw them
doing already and my mom was laughing her ass off.

We had 3 cars in the NASCAR race with Brandy, Trisha, and Barb driving them.
The pits were only for prepping the cars and emergency stops, as the tires
didn't wear out and the cars didn't need any fuel. The grandkids absolutely
loved this and thought it was the greatest thing in the world. Alice asked
me, "How come you aren't driving in the race?" I said, "We use to a long time
ago. Now we do other things. This takes a lot of practice." She said, "Can we
see you race a car?" I said, "We'll show you a movie of us doing it."

When we got home after the race we showed them the NASCAR movie we made, and
the kids couldn't believe it was us. Lee-Ann showed them the trophies and
Kathy said, "Tell us about all of the other trophies too." Lee-Ann told them
stories for hours about the other trophies. Lindsey's daughter, Madelyn, was
by far the worst out of all of them. She kept whispering to Alice just loud
enough for us to hear it, "Can I suck your cock again? That was so cool when
it jerked in my mouth." Alice said back, "Later Mad. This is interesting."

The next year our kids officially started school and we sent them to the same
school Lee-Ann and Caryn went to.  We never heard a word from the school
after 6 weeks so Lee-Ann called. The principal said that the kids were the
most well behaved out of everyone.  Debbie said, "They're planning something
major and just being careful not to tip anyone off in advance." We all
cracked up as Lee-Ann said, "You're probably right. Lets search their back
packs." We found a pack of my cigarettes, 3 joints, and 7 porno pictures. Lee-
Ann put it all back and said, "Kathy, can I see what's inside your back-
pack?" Kathy dumped it all out and said, "We took some of your cigarettes and
joints. These pictures are from Monica who sits next to us in school. Can you
take some pictures of us or let us use a camera? We're all having a contest."

Lee-Ann tried so hard not to laugh and said, "What's the prize in this
contest and who's judging the winner?" Alice said, "All of the kids are
voting on the pictures and the prize is that the winner gets to have sex with
anyone they want to at recess." Lee-Ann said, "Whose idea was this and does
the teacher know about it?" Kathy said, "It was Madelyn's idea but we all
talked about it with her. The teacher thinks we're taking pictures of our
pets."

I thought Lindsey was going to kill Madelyn as she yelled, "Mad, your ass is
in serious trouble. What were you thinking?" Mad said, "Sorry mom. I was
thinking that it was really fun." Lee-Ann said, "If any of you get in trouble
in school because of this, you're all grounded for a month in separate
bedrooms without TV or music. Think about it."

Two days went by and we didn't hear a thing from the kids. At dinner, Lee-Ann
asked Kathy, "So what happened with your contest?" Kathy said, "Don't worry
mom, the teacher won't get us in trouble about it. It's totally cool now."
Caryn said, "What do you mean?" The kids were squirming in their seats as
Madelyn said, "I told the teacher I wouldn't tell on her, if she didn't tell
on us. We found some of her pictures in her pocketbook and they were really
hot. She had that white stuff all over her face and her friend was licking it
off. When will we be able to make that stuff come out of us?" Lee-Ann looked
at us and just laughed.  Debbie said, "Totally worse by a factor of ten. Even
we didn't black mail a teacher."

When we finished diner, Debbie and I heard Kathy whisper to Alice, "Lets go
smoke another one of grandma's joints. My dick felt like it was 10 feet long
last time." Debbie looked at me and laughed her ass off as she said,
"Monsters. They had little monsters."

 . . . . . . . . . .

Surprisingly, the kids made it through their twelfth birthday without even a
call home about anything from school. We were convinced they had something on
the principal also. All of them were very mature for their ages and looked
identical to their parent's, just a little shorter still. Lee-Ann said to me,
"I saw Alice and Mad fucking last night. I think they left the door open on
purpose. Was I this much of a terror?" I said, "Yeah." She smiled and said,
"I thought so. Oh shit, what should I do?" Debbie said, "They're all on birth
control, so just let it go. You won't be able to stop it no matter what you
do anyway." Caryn said, "Mom, I know you and Kate saw us when we were the
same age. Is that why you didn't say anything?" Debbie said, "Yup. We just
ignored it." The kids came into the room and Alice ran over to me and hugged
me and said, "We're all ready to go see Harvey again."

Alice sat on my lap and took my cigarette out of my fingers and put it in her
lips and sucked in. She took two drags and held in the smoke and then blew it
out in the air and said, "On this trip, Mad, Kathy, and Adrian want to share
a tent with me." Lee-Ann looked at me and just smiled. Debbie was trying not
to laugh.

All of us took the camping trip this year. We took the spacecraft to the west
coast and our first stop was to see Harvey. We set up camp and were fishing
in the icy waters, when Harvey came to see us with 2 small baby seals and
larger female seal. They were all honking at us and we fed them as usual. The
kids played with the seals for hours and gave all of them names, as we caught
fish for dinner. The seals set up camp right next to us and it was priceless.

After dinner we all sat around the fire and sang songs to a folk guitar.
Alice said, "Mom, can we go on stage with you when you play next week? We
haven't done that since we were really little." Lee-Ann looked at me and
said, "Lets learn the beer song." We taught them the song medley and they
sang really good. All of us were cracking up as the seals honked to the
singing and we fed them again.

When we went into the tents, Debbie and I slept with Lee-Ann and Caryn. Alice
was giggling and whispered to me, "Grandma, we know what you're going to
doing in there tonight." I said, "How do you know what we're going to be
doing?" She said, "I heard my mom talking about it." Debbie cracked up.

Debbie, me, Lee-Ann, and Caryn had totally orgasmic sex in the tent. Lee-Ann
was sitting on my cock and learning forward as Debbie knelt behind her and
fucked my pussy and then Lee-Ann arched her back as Caryn sat on her cock,
with her ass on my breasts. We fucked each other senseless for about 3 hours.
Then Debbie and I paired up and made passionate love to each other next to
Lee-Ann and Caryn.

Before we fell asleep we all lit cigarettes and heard moaning coming from the
kids tent. Lee-Ann was giggling and said, "Oh shit." We fell asleep and woke
up early just as the sun was coming up. Lee-Ann unzipped our sleeping bag and
we all went to pee and then ran back into the tent. I knelt next to Lee-Ann
and was sucking her cock as she was holding my bobbing head softly. I was so
into it and Caryn was doing Debbie also. Lee-Ann said to me, "We have
visitors." I pulled my head up and saw Alice and Kathy both naked, and
kneeling naked in our tent. Alice absolutely attacked Lee-Ann and me.  She
sucked Lee-Ann's cock and then did mine. She said, "Please, have sex with
me." Lee-Ann and I made her into a sandwich and she was in paradise. Debbie
and Caryn were doing the same thing to Kathy as we watched them.

When I was ready to cum, Alice said, "Cum in my mouth. I love to swallow it."
I pulled out of her butt and knelt by her face as she sucked me like a pro. I
blasted my cum into her mouth and she sucked it all down her throat and then
kissed Lee-Ann to share some of it. I knelt over Alice and sucked her cock
into my mouth and she was bucking into me as Lee-Ann was fucking her pussy.
After about 10 minutes, Alice's cock was pulsating in my mouth and the thick
warm cum blasted out. I sucked the cum and swallowed, and kept going until I
got all of it in my mouth. I had some left in my mouth and I kissed Alice
with it and she sucked it out and swallowed, as Lee-Ann was cumming into
Alice's pussy. She kissed Lee-Ann so hard and then said, "Oh mom, that felt
so good."

The six of us had sex for 3 hours. Lee-Ann said, "Since you're here and we
already did it, let us show you how to really enjoy sex." We taught them
about their G-spots and Alice passed out the first time. Lee-Ann was laughing
and said, "Mom, we kind of over did it." Debbie was howling as Kathy passed
out also. Debbie and I showed both kids how to eat pussy the right way, and
they were giggling until we made them cum so much they almost passed out
again. Then we gave both of them a dual orgasm and they both passed out
again. We woke them up and Alice said, "Wow!"

We all lit cigarettes and Alice nicely moved Debbie off of me and said,
"Grandma, I love how you fuck" and she sat on my cock again. Debbie was
cracking as we smoked our cigarettes and Alice moved her pussy up and down on
my hardon. Debbie let her go for about 5 minute and then moved her off of me
and said, "This ride is mine. Go get your own." Lee-Ann was cracking up and
so was Alice as she took a drag of her cigarette. I said, "Where's Mad and
Adrian?" Alice said, "With their moms also." Lee-Ann said, "We at least
waited until we were 16 to ambush you an Debbie." Debbie was sitting on my
cock and said, "Honey, you do fuck me so good." She leaned forward and we
kissed so soft.

Everyone got dressed for breakfast and the seals were patiently waiting to be
fed again. Debbie was sitting next to Harvey and talking to him and he was
honking back. The kids loved it. All of the kids got together and Mad
announced, "Since we all had sex last night together, and all of our moms
made us pass out from cumming so much, how about sharing some of your joints
with us too?" Lee-Ann said, "In the tent there's a plastic bag. Help
yourself, but leave us some."

The kids were totally stoned in about 15 minutes and Debbie and I were
laughing. The rest of the trip was more of the same. Our grandkids were as
wild as it gets, much worse than us. Alice and Madelyn were definitely an
item, and so were Kathy and Adrian. Debbie and I let the kids do their thing
with their parents as the two of us slept in our own tent for 5 nights by
ourselves. We were so into each other. We loved the time we spent on the
beach together. Debbie and I took a few blankets and made love for hours
lying on the blankets near the water. Then we taught all of the grandkids to
surf.

After we got home, we did the concert in Atlanta. The grandkids and our kids
came on stage with us for the last song and Alice and Kathy literally stole
the show. They were amazing and the crowd loved them. We let the two of them
sing the last verse by themselves and the crowd was screaming for them. They
hammed it up as we all waved and Lee-Ann said, "Mom, there really good." I
was smiling and waving to the audience as I said to Lee-Ann, "They are better
than all of us."

 . . . . . . . . . . .

We let the kids live as normal a life as we could and didn't push them into
the music or the movie business. As it was, everyone on Earth and Tara knew
us, our kids, and our grandkids. None of us could walk down a street without
being recognized, or have someone take our pictures.  When the grandkids
turned 16, they all had completed school, and were playing together in band
at home. We taught them about our style of songwriting and the music they
were turning out was far better than what we were doing, and both of our acts
were on top of the CD charts.

Margi wanted to record them four years ago and we jokingly asked her to wait
until Debbie and I turned 75 years old. At the time, everyone thought it was
so comical. We turned 76 years old last month and still look like were 28.
Debbie called her mom and said, "Hi. Our grandkids are ready to record now.
The music is way better than any of us." Alice was sitting with Kathy
listening to us and they both slapped high five when Debbie said, "We'll have
them come to the studio tomorrow morning." Alice lit a cigarette and said,
"Thanks. Mom, we want you and Debbie to do our final master. Please?" Debbie
said, "We wouldn't miss it for the world."

Over the next two months, the grandkids saw a different side of us that they
never saw before. We worked their butts off to be as good as they can be,
both in concert and on the CD. The material was top notch also.  When we
finished with the studio sessions, choreography, pictures, videos, and
everything else they needed to do, we announced a major concert called Three
Generations or Southland. The grandkids called their band "Made in America"
and we all thought it was a great idea. Stef used the name to sell over 8
million of the CDs in the first week on Tara.

We did the Three Generations of Southland concert and it was terrific. We had
my mom and Debbie's mom emcee the show and they were a total piss as they
introduced each act as great grandchildren, grandchildren, and daughters.
"Made in America" was about as good as it gets. Debbie and I couldn't believe
how nuts they were on stage. We had all of the kids and grandkids play the
last song with us and it was wonderful. Kathy and Alice definitely stole the
show.

We were the topic of every newspaper and news program for the next two days.
Then we hit Tara like a storm and we played three shows, three nights in a
row, to a packed house at the very large indoor arena. The last night was
televised to both Tara and Earth. It was so wild.

After the show I said to Alice, "So how does it feel to be a Superstar?" She
said, "Okay. Can we go visit Harvey again? All of us were talking about it
before the show." Debbie heard her and said, "How about tomorrow?" We didn't
tell anyone but Debbie and I kind of gave Harvey and his family something
special last trip. He looked so old and was moving real slow, so we gave him,
and the other seals our soap to eat. They loved it and we told everyone it
was just cut up fish. We fed them over 30 bars of it.

The next day we took our ritual trip to go see Harvey and he looked great. So
did Eleanor, Clara, and Janet. Those are the names the kids gave to his mate
and the baby seals years ago. Lee-Ann said, "You didn't?" Debbie and I
laughed so hard we almost pissed in our pants. I said, "Remember when we were
feeding them fish last time? We'll it wasn't fish."

Harvey really remembered us and was begging for the soap. We fed them over 60
bars. We got the picture of a lifetime as Eleanor was burping and honking
soap bubbles. The grandkids figured out what we did and they were howling as
Debbie said, "They're good for another 30 years now." That night we sat
around the bonfire goofing around and Alice and Kathy wrote a song about it
called, "Another 30 years in paradise." We all loved these stupid animals.

Debbie and I slept in our own tent and we had a very nice romantic week. The
grandkids wanted to go exploring on the ice glacier near the water and I
said, "This will be the first and only time we beat the shit out of you. That
is so off limits don't even think about it. Debbie and I fell 75 feet into
the icy water 20 years ago, almost drowned, and came close to dying from
hypothermia. Harvey rescued us and we became attached somehow." Alice looked
at me and said, "You're serious aren't you?" I said, "As serious as I can
get." They actually didn't go on the ice and Debbie said, "Good thing they
didn't call your bluff." I said, "You got that right. I could never hit any
of them, no matter what they did wrong." She held her finger to her lips and
said, "Sssshhhh. Don't give way the secret. That's the first time they ever
backed down on anything."

After we got home, Alice said to me, "Would you really have hit us if we went
on that ice?" I said, "No. I could never hit you and you know that. But it
almost got Debbie and me killed and we were as close to death as we have ever
been. We really panicked. If Harvey hadn't helped us and let us hold him as
he swam to shore, we wouldn't be here." Alice hugged me and said, "I kind of
figured that. Thanks. When we saw the huge slab of ice fall into the water an
hour after you yelled at us, we all had a lump in out throats."

I told Debbie about it when we were in bed that night and she said, "They are
much smarter than we are. We would have ignored it and fell in anyway. You
know that." I smiled and nodded as Debbie lit us another joint. She took two
deep drags and then sat on my hardon sliding it into her wet pussy, as held
the joint to my lips. I sucked on it and inhaled deep as Debbie leaned
forward and gave we a wet kiss and said softly, "Lets fuck honey." I rubbed
her shaft as she was riding me and we both we moaning.

The next week, Aria wanted to open up travel for anyone from Tara to visit
earth and take vacations in paradise. Aria had limited the travel up to now
and we were very skeptical about this. Aria said, "It'll be fine. We'll watch
it real close." She opened up travel and there were over 30 million people
from Tara that completely flooded our beaches on the first day. Aria was with
us as we took the spacecraft over the islands, and we couldn't see any sand
at all on Puerto Rico or Jamaica. It was wall to wall people and Chelsea
said, "I think we need to shut this off, real quick."

When the people left, the beaches were a complete mess. I said, "Garbage
dump. How in the fuck are we going to clean it all up?" Aria said, "You're
not. The people that did it are going to do it. Come with me to Tara and
we'll fix this right now." We went to planet Tara, and Aria had a press
conference that was carried live on all of the TV networks. She said, "We
opened up travel to Earth today, and you blew it big time. Over 30 million of
you turned a paradise into a sewer, just like our beaches. I have never been
more embarrassed in my life. We know by your transport ID exactly who was
there today. You have two days to get back to where you were on earth and
clean it up. If you don't, you will loose your ability to travel by transport
forever, because I personally will shut it off. Then we are going to clean up
our beaches, because earth is now off limits again, except for a few who can
play sports there. When I saw what you did to that paradise, it completely
disgusted me." Within two days the beaches were spotless and Aria said, "Now
they start on ours, or I swear I will shut off the travel."

  . . . . . . . . . . . .

The years flew by and our grandchildren grew up to be just like us. They were
a phenomenal success in music and also in the movies. They decided to have
children and Alice and Madelyn both had twins, and so did Lindsey and Kathy.
The rest of them had kids also. The house was getting full again and we
really liked it. Debbie and I played with our great grandkids everyday.
Alice, Mad, Kathy, and Adrian were ready to kill us as we spoiled the kids
rotten.

We continued to vacation and we went to see Harvey and his family every year
to feed them a case of soap. When our great grandkids turned 13 we took them
with us on this trip with the whole family. We had an army of tents and were
met by Harvey and his extended new family, of about 15 now. Alice's twins,
Roberta and Lynn, were by far the worst out of all of them. We warned them
about the ice ledge and they were oblivious to us. Debbie said to me, "Are we
invisible?" I just started laughing.

We brought rescue gear with us on this trip just in case, and sure enough we
had to use it. The grandkids walked over to the ice ledge while we weren't
watching and were jerking around. We heard the ice crack and we all looked up
to see them tumble into the icy water. Alice and Kathy panicked and were
screaming at the kids to stay afloat as Debbie and I ran to get the repelling
gear and ropes, along with the harnesses to hoist them up. Debbie anchored
the metal spikes and I was repelling down the rock wall as I saw Harvey and
his family swimming towards the girls. I yelled, "Grab onto a seal and let
them take you to shore. Do it now!" They were so scared, but they did it.

I stayed low near the water until I was sure they made it and then Debbie
helped me get back up. The kids were half frozen and we got them dried off
and into clean cloths as Harvey was honking at them so loud it was like he
was yelling at them. Then he lay down next to me and Debbie and I petted him
and hugged him as I said, "Thank you." Harvey honked softly at me and I swear
he smiled.

The grandkids were still frozen and Roberta told me, "We're all going to
sleep in one tent to stay warm." Alice said to me, "Yeah, right. What a lie."
I said, "You're starting to know what your mom and us went through with you
now." She was smiling and said, "Grandma, was I that bad?" Debbie was
laughing and said, "They are a 10. You were a 9.7" An hour later we saw the
tent bouncing around and heard them moaning. We laughed our ass off.

The next day Roberta swore they were just staying warm and Alice said, "I'm
your mother, and you're full of shit." Roberta smiled and said, "Yeah, we had
sex. We like blowjobs a lot."

The grandkids finished school at 15 and Alice and Kathy got them into music.
They were so talented we felt it wasn't fair to make them wait as they wanted
it more than anything. We had a combination Four Generations of Southland
concert and a celebration of Debbie and me turning 100 years old in June of
2091. Lee-Ann splurged and had cake served to everyone at the concert after
our last number and then all of the kids came on stage and led the audience
in singing happy birthday to us. It was very emotional for Debbie and me. She
kissed me on stage and said into my ear, "Did you ever think we would be
doing this when we were 100?" I kissed her and then just smiled as I said,
"And the next thousand years too."

That night after the concert, Debbie and I went home and we had totally
perverted sex. We fucked like wild animals and then we took out Spike, which
we hadn't used in a long time. We put him in our pussies and fucked, as we
kissed and jerked each other off. My pussy won't stop cumming and Debbie made
me shoot my cum 5 times onto her stomach and I made her shoot 5 times also
onto my stomach. Each time we shot our cum, we used our fingers to spoon up
the white goop and shared it between us as we kissed.

We finally got tired and move to a 69 position and ate each other's pussy for
almost an hour and then Debbie sucked me hard again as I was sucking her cock
too. We both blasted our cum into each other's mouth at the same time. I
loved how it felt when Debbie's cock pulsated in my mouth and her cum oozed
out when she was tired. We both swallowed, and then lay together on the
pillow, kissed, cuddled, and fell sound asleep.


CHAPTER 48 - BACK TO THE PRESENT


Hi. It's Roberta again from the very beginning of the book. I guess you know
who I am now. Alice is my mother, Lee-Ann is my Grandma, and Kate is my Great
Grandmother. That was the last page in their memories and they can't remember
where the other section is stored. None of us wanted to spend a day or two
looking through the vault, so that's were the story's ending for now.

I'm 22 years old and thinking about having children with Lindsey's daughter
Chris, my life partner. We just celebrated the 50th birthday of America with
one of our family concerts and as a surprise to Kate and Debbie we published
their memoirs in this story. They were pissed at us at first, and then hugged
all of us as usual. I love slipping Debbie the tongue when she kisses me and
she just laughs about it. They still look like they're about 28 years old and
my great, great grandma, Gretchen, Kate, Lee-Ann, Alice and me and Lynn, my
sister, can now all pass as sisters. Kate, Lee-Ann and Alice are identical
and fool everyone all the time. Lynn and I are identical twins but we still
have to grow a few more years before we blend in with the clan, as they call
it. Margi, Debbie, Caryn, Kathy, and Lisa also pass as sisters. It's so
weird. All of us goof on people all the time.

This year we all went to visit Harvey and his family again, and I remember
falling into that icy water like it was yesterday. Harvey and I are now best
buddies, and we feed him and his family our soap twice a year also. We're all
convinced that he will out live all of us.

My great grandma is watching me write this and she asked me say something to
everyone. She said, "Tell everyone we stopped writing when we were having too
much fun getting stoned and having sex and that we're still looking for the
other section. We think we left it in Aria's house when Debbie and I slept
with her and Stef last year."
