Chapter 4 – Singer Wanted
Luca and Stefano decide to place an advertisement on a musicians’ website.
Within a few days, e-mails begin to arrive. They organise some auditions, but nobody is suitable. The advertisement was a waste of time!
One evening, the three friends meet in a pub to decide what to do.
As they are having a beer together, a soul group starts to play.
All three of them agree: the singer is fantastic!
When the band takes a break, Luca, who thinks the girl has the most beautiful voice he’s ever heard, asks if she will sing with his band.
Her name is Laura. She’s a student at the Conservatorio in Bologna.
She suggests that Luca, Stefano and Marco join her for a jam session when the soul group finishes:
“We’ll see how good you are. If you convince me, we can talk about your band!”
Marco and Stefano are worried at the idea of a jam session in the pub, in public!
But Luca, always the most enthusiastic, encourages them.
They agree to try.
Luca plays the first notes of “All the things you are” on the piano.
Marco joins in with the bass.
And Stefano, on the drums, begins to provide rhythm.
At the right moment, Laura starts to sing…
When the song ends there is loud applause!
Laura is enthusiastic.
“So what do you call your band?” she asks.
“Well…” begins Stefano, a little embarrassed.
“How does Blue Vibes sound?” suggests Laura.
They all agree, it sounds great!
The band now has a name.
