It was a good night at the Crow's Nest Coffee House. The audience was larger than usual, probably because it was the beginning of the tourist season. My set went off without too many problems, rare when I'm working on new songs. At the end of the evening several people came up to the stage, where I was packing up my guitar, and commented on my playing. This always made me feel good, considering the time I put into my music.
I was just closing the guitar case when I heard a woman's voice behind me say, "Excuse me, are you Gail Coulter's boy?"
I turned to see this attractive looking woman staring at me. She had dark hair and a beautiful set of tits that I could hardly take my eyes off of. I figured she was in her thirties, but how she knew me..... I didn't have a clue.
"Yes I am." I answered.
"I was a teacher at the elementary school with your mom a few years ago. How is she doing?"
"Fine," I said. "She sometimes comes down here to hear me play, but she stayed home tonight."
"I'm sorry I missed her," she smiled. "I was wondering... do you give lessons? My son is 10 and I'd like to get him started playing the guitar."
"Sure, Let me give you my information and............"
"Matt!" I was interrupted by one of the other performers in the blues band I was playing with. "Are these your picks and capo in this bag?"
"Oh yeah... Jeez, I don't want to forget those." I threw them into my guitar case and turned around only to find the woman I was talking to was gone.
Damn
, I thought. If nothing else, I was hoping to get one more look at those tits. I hoped I didn't insult her, but she was here once, maybe she would be back in the future.
"You got a ride home, Matt?" asked my friend.
"Yeah, I got my mom's car tonight. Thanks anyway," I responded.
I awoke the next morning to the sound of the phone ringing in the kitchen. It was 9 o'clock. I rarely slept this late, but I continued resting a bit and thinking about the concert the night before. When I finally got my head together, I went to the kitchen where my mom was sitting at the table.
"Good morning sleepy head," she said while sipping her coffee.
"Morning mom," I muttered as I poured a cup of orange juice.
"I just got a call from Marie Lindstrom. She said she met you at the Crow's Nest last night and wanted to talk to you about giving her son guitar lessons."
"Oh yeah, I got distracted and she left. I hope she didn't think I was being rude."
"She said you were busy but she had our number. You can call her back when you have a minute."
"Yeah, I can do that. Who is she anyway? She seemed to know you, but I don't think I've ever met her before," I queried.
"She lives over on Oakwood Lane- in the big house on the end. She and I were on the teachers committee. She taught second grade but gave it up last year after she lost her baby. Actually, I'm surprised they had any children. She married this engineer who is the biggest nerd you'd ever meet. What she saw in him I'll never know, besides being one of the biggest brains down at Stillman, Inc. There's plenty of money in that so........ I don't know. "
"She lost a baby? How did that happen?" I was puzzled.
"Her baby died at birth. She was devastated of course. She loves kids, so I could see where that would have a very negative effect. I didn't get into it on the phone with her, but she sounded okay. Anyway, give her a call. Her number's on the counter there."
I took a shower and after, called Mrs. Lindstrom. We set up a lesson for her 10 year old son, Allen, on Thursday night around 7:00 p.m. I got as much background on Allen as I could. He had a guitar handed down from his grandfather and has tried to play it even though he knows nothing about it. From what I could gather he could play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" on one string, so I guess I could safely put him into the novice category.
I arrived at the Lindstrom's house right at 7 o'clock and rang the bell. I was greeted by some guy with a bad haircut who just stared at me. This must be the husband my mom was telling me about.
"Hi. I'm Matt Coulter. I'm here for Allen's guitar lesson."
"Oh, right," the guy mumbled and held the door open.
I followed him in, but he mysteriously disappeared somewhere as Mrs Lindstrom made her way to the entrance area with her son in tow. "Hi, Matt... Boy, you're right on time." She was dressed in a pair of white shorts that were so tight that the entire outline of her crotch could be seen pushing against the fabric. When she bent overt to talk to her son, I had no problem seeing all the way down to her navel. She was wearing a black lace bra which really accented her well rounded tits.
"Allen? This is Matt. His mother is a good friend of mine and he's going to show you how to play the guitar."
I extended my hand. "Good to meet you Allen. What kind of songs do you like?"
He just shrugged his shoulders as his mom bent over, revealing her huge tits to me one more time.
"Allen? Is there any song you'd like to learn?"
Again he shrugged his shoulders. "That's okay," I said. "Let's get to know the instrument first and then we can figure out some tunes to play."
We went into the den where Mrs. Lindstrom left us alone during the lesson. I spent about 45 minutes with Allen and I must say, he caught on pretty quick, but I wasn't sure if he inherited a musical ability from his grandfather or the genius from his father to grasp the concept of how things work. Either way, I got him started.
After the lesson Allen ran off to play some video game. Mrs. Lindstrom walked me to the door. "Are there any books I should buy for him to help him practice?" She asked.
"I have some I can give you. They're beginner books I don't use any more, so you can keep them."
"That's great!" she exclaimed. "I'm also thinking of getting him his own guitar as the one he has seems way too big for him. I thought maybe you could give me some suggestions."
"Gee, I have tons of catalogs you can have, or you can go online."
"I want it to be a surprise, so I don't want him to see the catalogs. He's going to the air show with his father tomorrow and staying through the weekend. Do you think you could drop them off here tomorrow night?"
