Chapter 25: A Concert
Now, bear in mind this was a long day, the
Danadians were getting tired. I was
getting tired from watching all of them. I could go back and watch it, but I
might inadvertently change history by doing so. Such is the danger of existing
out of time for a mortal mind.
But here is my best account of what
happened that night. I may sing the songs later if I can find the right time
but right now they’re just vague recollections.
The first thing that everyone noticed was
that Silverfish had added more instruments. Which was strange considering they
had one less performer than their previous concerts.
They had added more electronics. They had a
setup <look up names later> <<the pianist had both a piano and a
keyboard. The Richard had a more unsubdued also>>>. And all the rest
was true for each of the others.
They plugged the entire setup into a handy
multiple-outlet extention chord that happened to be near the front of the
stage, but were presently having some balance issues trying to start the show.
The sound was being tested and things were trying to be even, but there was an
electricity there. A tension in the air. Everything was on the verge of feeding
back. You could sense it. The band could talk, but everybody in the front row
could feel the literal charge in the foggy night, and those standing behind
them could see it.
There were no further rows. There weren’t
enough people there yet.
Tessa plugged the final instrument, an
electric cello into the socket. She gave it a quick scalar warm-up and tuning.
It seemed just the right level, the same as
the other instruments, give or take.
Ssssssssssssss * *
Tar that was strange. Anyway,
Sorry about that.
The feedback was palpable but she pressed
on. “PRESENTING!” SSSr. (someone jumped onto the sound board but heDidnt quite know what he was doing.
Anthony said, “You can’t beat em!” em…
“THE UNBEATABLE!” Tessa Replied. sss
“The, uh, you
can’t shake em’!” seeeeeeeeeeeeec
“THE
UNNNNshakeABLE!” sShak able echoed. Echoed a bit in the
air but then stopped.
“SILVERFISH!” EEEEEEE
