I know one hundred word stories are a thing on here, or ninety nine word stories, someone supplying a prompt – either a word or a phrase or perhaps a photo – but I was just playing around and came up with this. So no prompts, just a bit of fun.
Those of you of a certain age and musical heritage may identify with it…
‘This was a particularly brutal murder, sergeant.’
‘Yes, sir. With around three hundred people watching. Open and shut case, fortunately.’
‘And he was the keyboard player?’
‘Yes. He was about fifteen minutes into the Hammond Organ solo when he was killed.’
‘Who did it? A member of the audience?’
‘No, the vocalist. She bludgeoned him with the microphone stand. Really vicious. All she’s saying is this was the eighteenth night of the tour and there were still twenty seven to go.’
‘Didn’t any of the other band members attempt to stop her?’
‘No, sir. Apparently, they were egging her on.’

That is triggering. I was dragged to a Yes concert once. I believe I ate my spleen after the base guitar solo…

Hi Mick, an entertaining piece. I didn’t recognize the picture or fact pattern …

Oh, the picture’s unrelated, really. It’s just I don’t have many photos of bands. And if Hammond organ solos passed you by, then you’re lucky!

I know of a few people who, if the Hammond Organ was an accordion, would have only made it to the 13th night…

Among other things, yes! I also play keyboards, drums, bass guitar, a number of reed instruments and whatever I can get my hands on.

Thanks, Chris. Not the Hammond organ, I trust…

No, I sang–and played just enough guitar to be dangerous.
