-Thanks to my reviewers!!! That was definitely not the end, I have another plot twist up my sleeve! I'm about to reach 50 reviews, so please review this chapter!-
Everyone was smiling for a minute, but Dewey said to them, "Okay, Katie, that was awesome! I'd love to tell you everything I liked about it, but we have an album to record. So let's do it!"
"Yeah!" All the kids screamed. They got to where they were supposed to be, with Summer yelling endlessly about what everyone else should be doing. Dewey and Zack recorded the guitar tracks first, while in a different studio Freddy recorded the drums. It took about a half hour for them to get their tracks down right, and then Katie and Laurence recorded their parts (in separate studios). When Katie started her solo, Dewey gave her the eyebrow wave, so she laughed and messed up. Summer yelled at Dewey and Katie started her solo again.
Katie got her part down shortly after because she only had a few notes to play. When she came out of the studio, she was surprised to see that Dewey and Zack were almost finished recording the next guitar tracks for the next song. Laurence had finished his keyboard in only ten minutes, because he was a classically trained pianist, so obviously, he could play it right the first time. He just had to do one little overdub, which was done then and there, instead of waiting till Friday.
Alicia, Tomika, and Marta were recording background singing for the first two tracks in the studio which Katie had been in before. That took about an hour and a half, so by the time they were done, Katie was back in the studio, recording for the next two tracks.
Finally, all the music was down. The only thing missing was Dewey's voice. He didn't really care about getting it perfect, and claimed that raw sound was better, so within another hour he'd recorded the sound for the first three tracks, while Zack and Freddy worked on getting music down for the third track.
Zack and Freddy were in the studio together to save time. Then Katie went in, and after her Dewey with the other guitar. Laurence had taken another ten minutes to record the other ten minutes, and the back up singers went into the studio. By that time, everyone else was done, and they watched.
Summer laid back in her chair, exhausted from yelling so much. Everyone was tired and wanted to go home, but Dewey had an announcement. "Okay Katie, since you pulled off a great solo, we have a little present for you. At our Friday gig at Ziggy's, we're gonna play My Generation as our encore. Everyone else knows all their licks, all you gotta do is play yours at the gig. We've got a special arrangement to make it very Who-like. Laurence is sitting this one out, and only Zack will be playing guitar. So it'll be me, you, Zack, and Freddy. A true Who lineup. Except Marta Tomika and Alicia will be singing that part that goes Talkin bout my generation. So whaddya think?"
"Awesome!" Katie yelled. She could imagine herself on the Ziggy's stage, playing John Entwistle's solo. It was gonna rock!
Everyone piled back into Dewey's van, and he drove them home. They obviously didn't listen to Substitute. But there was a Rolling Stones music marathon on the radio (a/n ROLLING STONES ROCK!!!) and when Miss You came on, everyone started singing along, and Freddy tapped along.
So when Katie got home she was very happy. Until she realized something. She didn't know how to play that solo. She didn't understand the tabs that you could find on the internet. So, basically, she was screwed. Unless...
Katie called the music store and asked if they could give an emergency one day only lesson tomorrow. They said sure. So tomorrow, Katie would go and record some more, then get home and go to a bass lesson for about two hours. Hopefully she could get it down in that short amount of time. She put in her Who CD and tried to learn the licks by listening. It didn't work. At least I'm a pretty fast learner, she thought.
-I know it's really short, sorry! Please review, I really wanna break the fifty mark!!!-
