Bruce’s hands trembled as he stepped on stage. All the other guys in the band were at least six years older. If it weren’t for his uncle, he would never have had the chance to join any band, let alone one ready to turn pro. He was way outclassed, and knew it.
“Hey. Kid. You going to be all right?” The lead guitar thumped him on the shoulder as he went past.
“Yeah. Yeah, I’ll be fine.” He went to his keyboard.
Fingers in place, band members ready, he raised his hands, looked up into the lights…. and froze.
