Bruce and I paused for a moment and were both surprised to find the sun had journeyed completely across the sky and was well on its way toward setting on the western horizon. The blue shades that had so pleasantly colored the day were now giving way to the reds, oranges and yellows that typically signaled lights end grew near; while poolside the few souls that remained were gathering their belongings and preparing to depart. Bruce and I agreed it was time to join them.
“Wow, what a musical genesis this day has been” Bruce offered, and then paused. “Hey! What do you think of that for the name of the band?”
“What? Musical Genesis?” I asked
“Or…just Genesis.”
“That’s stupid” I said. “No one would ever call their band Genesis. We need something cool.”
We grabbed our towels and headed off for home. I got into my car and watched as Bruce walked off, hesitated for a moment and then turned to shout back what had become the mantra of the day;
“Money for nothing and chicks for free Mr. Bill.”
“Money for nothing and chicks for free Mr. Bruce.”
I remember falling happily asleep that night. There were visions of sugar plums amongst other things dancing in my head and for that matter all over the bedroom. And while there remained the challenges of getting our A list guys on board it all still seemed like a big party just waiting to happen. And, it was.
The End of The Day
