Recently, he has licensed his own music for use in films such as Sustaining Grace (2022) and Ana Lily Amirpour’s latest thriller, Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon (2022).

Trish had an uncanny ability to pick all the wrong ones.As a multi-instrumentalist, composer/arranger, and audio engineer, Alex Price has enjoyed a growing career over the last decade. Like a friend once told her, “You always try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!” If there were a hundred available guys in a room, she always managed to zone in on the worst one there, not the kindest one, not the one with the greatest character or honor. It's like she had a special gift for finding a man-a cursed one-yet she had only herself to blame-not fate for it-like she tried to point her finger at for her troubles. In this regard, Trish was often her own worst enemy. And none of her bad experiences seemed to deter her from her defeating patterns, for it seemed that having a ****** choice of a man in her life was better than having no man at all.Ī Friday night without any date was something she desperately wanted to avoid. At the age of fifty-six, trying to meet men was getting old, as old as she was feeling, lately.Īt Pete’s Place, a local bar down at the end of her street, and two blocks over, Trish could at least feel like she was among friends. It was an old hangout that always felt like a safe haven to turn to, familiar territory that she could call her own turf, her home away from home. Often, Trish encountered regulars, down-to-earth faces who have been going to the family-like establishment as long as or longer than she has. Drinking really was not her thing, not more than one or two, at the most. But if anything, if worst came to worst, she could say she was not home alone and left out while the world seemed to go on its own merry way without her. Pete’s Place was far from a glamorous hangout, but it had a cozy charm to it that made it irresistible to Trish. In the back were a pool table and a dartboard that provided some harmless enjoyment. With a couple of flat screen TVs, there usually was some sports game to watch. Trish couldn’t sing a note, but she loved to watch and cheer everybody else on.Īnd every other Saturday, there was a DJ conducting Karaoke that always attracted a regular crowd. She just felt so welcome here, so at home, that even if she felt depressed or lonely, the atmosphere eventually lifted her heaviness of heart.Įntering the bar this time, Trish hardly saw a familiar face at all-that was except for the bartender, Henry, who worked this job since forever. For a Friday night, business seemed surprisingly slow. There was only an older couple watching a baseball game that was at Pete’s Place, a couple that she did not recognize.
