Just Do It
I wrote a song for my uncle, but he left on tour … for a year! Johnny told him I could use his old studio. My heart skipped two beats.
“One stipulation,” he whispered. “You can not leave until you have your song.”
Ten days later after 12 hour stints and no dust left in the place, my recording was ready. That is I had the notes, the pauses, even my voice. As I was all alone, just me and two windows, my mind made it real.
I called my uncle on tour in Japan and played him my recording. I didn’t hear him speak, only silence. Then a voice I recognized as Johnny’s said, “Tell him to meet us in Nashville at Christmas.”

A great last line – love it! But I was confused by this one: ‘Johnny told him I could use his old studio.’ Is the ‘his’ referring to the uncle, since the ‘him’ just before it is the uncle? And why didn’t Johnny tell the narrator directly? Other than that, which is probably just confusion in my mind, it’s a great piece.

Hi, I thought about that not being clear. In the end ‘Johnny’ is famous and his uncle is on tour with Johnny. The his is the soul working on his music, then sending it to his uncle via the phone. In the background is Johnny hearing the song and giving his thumbs up … See you in Nashville at Christmas! 🙂
Sound like the song will work out.. maybe it’s time to write some more.
Thank you for leaving a comment!
