Song #3: My Mystery Man
Verse #1:
It was a late night in the Las Vegas rock scene…and I was headed out to the one place I feel more at home than anywhere in the world— Vamp’d. I love the feel and the rush when I enter…I breathe in and let the music take over my entire body and I am truly happy. I’m usually alone, which is how I like to be, but I know everyone around me. But this particular night I saw a stranger through the darkness. He was standing in my normal spot—against the back wall by the bathrooms, also alone. I instantly could tell that he didn’t feel alone either. I let the sounds of The Sin City Sinners take me away…but the whole time I was patiently waiting….
I saw several familiar faces in the crowd and spoke to many rock n roll friends…still waiting…stalking like prey. Who was this mysterious man standing ever so close to me? Who is his favorite band? Does he also play? Is he a bass player? (I’m insanely attracted to bass players and I can sniff one out almost anywhere.) But he was not….he was something else. The only thing that I knew for sure was that I wanted to know his story immediately. I could feel his energy and love for the music and it felt great!
Verse #2:
After a little liquid courage I made my move. Very timid at first…most men in the music business automatically think I only want one thing—like some groupie or some shit. I promise you…I AM NOT! I merely want to pick their brains about music, influences, life experiences and passions. This dark mysterious creature was insanely perfect for all of that! Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot) came on stage to give tribute to Kevin DuBrow. Of course he sang Metal Health. I was now directly up front and singing at the top of my lungs. I looked over to my right and was pleasantly surprised to see the stranger next to me singing just as loud as I was!! It was at this point I knew that he was no longer a stranger and was definitely one of us. After the show we headed to the bar for drinks… Question after question—totally vibing on all the music knowledge that each of us held. Come to find out he was a drummer. And a little older and a little wiser too. He liked bands completely and totally out of my league…but it was a huge turn on anyways.
He wrote this:
“I love the attitude and exploration…the comedy and the sex…the noise and nonsense mixed with melody and rhythm…I love the shrills and I love the contrast between the reality and the fantasy. I love the power and dirge mixed with the madness and innocence…and I love how no matter what language you speak it breaks down barriers much like the language of love.” 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Kris the Drummer
And I was hooked, because that’s how he was talking to me. The conversation we had was definitely one of my all time favorites. I felt my desires taking over with every sentence that he spoke. The desire to know more…..
We enjoyed the night, some drinks, some laughs…some sweet kisses and parted ways. 💋💋💋 But that desire has always stayed…will I see my mystery man again???

Who AM I??:::
I am twiggy. I love all rock music because of the way it makes me feel. I love how hearing a song can take you on a journey. I hear certain songs and the memories come flooding back into my life…like little pieces of candy that I thought I’d never taste again. I love the rush and the pulse of a live show and I welcome it with open arms. The lights draw me in and I am consumed with happiness. And none of my troubles or worries matter anymore. If I could tell a story of my life each chapter could be a song…and those songs would create the album of my life. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
