When we came together to form a band there was chemistry from the start. Tammy a tall, twenty-one year old, darked haired vixen, always dressed in black, playing bass, Harmony, twenty-two year old, short blonde with cropped hair, on lead guitar, Sherry a grad student, twenty-six, playing drums, with purple hair and a nose ring, and me a red headed spitfire on vocals and rhythm guitar. We called ourselves "Lick", we play at parties and college bars, with a small but devoted following.
With the semester ending we made the final plans for our summer tour of dive bars and clubs around the mid-west. Three months of living in Sherry's van and cheap hotels, sleeping all day, playin rock 'n' roll all night. Smoking pot, drinking, parting like rock star, sounded like a great way to spend our summer break. We had fixed up the inside of the van with two small couches, a small table, rented a small trailer to haul the instruments.
We started out down interstate ninety-five, living the dream, they were like sisters, we shared a special bond. The first show was great, a large crowd, of redneck partiers who really seemed to enjoy our show. The time we got to play flew by then back on the road headed to the next town, taking turns driving, sleeping, the tour wore on.
