“X was in the middle of a solo; he opens his eyes and looks down, does a dead stare, and stops playing. ____________ is chugging along, see X’s stopped playing, and figures he’d better cover, that X must’ve broken a string or something. Then ___________ looks down, sees Y, and turns his back. That was how they first saw each other.”
A had to say this about how X and Y first met. Formal introductions were made after the show. Y invited the entire band to “Criteria Studios” for a jam. After the concert was over, they all came back to the studio and jammed until approximately 6:00 the next night, A remembered. “They were trading licks. They were swapping guitars. They were talking shop and information and having a ball no holds barred, just admiration for each other’s technique and facility. There was no control. We turned the tapes on and they went on for 15 to 18 hours like that. You just kept the machines rolling. I went through two or three sets of engineers. It was a wonderful experience.”
After the jam sessions Y invited X to become the fifth and final member of the Z, but X demurred, remaining loyal to his own band.
Tell me the characters in the story. I need only X and Y. Extra points for A though.
