History of Daniel Edwards Background: From as early as he can remember he has music in his life some how or another. His mother was a famed pianist for many years, and his father was a cellists and a conductor of some of the world’s top bands and Symphony Orchestra. So he had no choice but to be good at music and to play his heart out. At the age Seven, he was up to being allowed in one of the greatest Conservatory, in Germany. He played three pieces, each one harder and more challenging then the one before. The talent was there, you had to be deaf and or stupid not to see that. He was allowed in, well actually the all but begged to have him to come in. For the next 7 years, was a time where his talents were put the test, learning more on piano, but also learning how to play other instruments as well, but the time he was nine he had written his first piece of music, dark and forbidding, it was put away, to be forgotten for years. His next pieces were more cheerful and upbeat, but that first piece was by for the best in his history of writing classical pieces. When he was ten, however he found something, a kind of music that he could sink his teeth into. Rock and Roll, of course the Conservatory wasn’t overly thrilled with the fact, one of their star students had taken up with Rock and Roll, but in the time to come, the knew they couldn’t keep him from playing. When he was 11, his twin sisters give him his first guitar, a Fender Telecaster, 1962 model year black. He loved that guitar, not so much that it was a guitar, but that it was from his sisters, whom was the object of his love and affection. Every day he would come home to the house that his family lived in, and his sisters would run to meet him and talk to him about his day and about there day. They were his greatest joy. As well all stories, pain must come into a family, of happiness, and it did, February 18, 1998 the worst thing could happen, and in the eyes of Daniel that was the day that God died. He came home like anyone other day, walking up the street, it was a warm day for February and he was taking him time, as he walked up in the yard, seeing his sisters toys in the yard, he thought they just ran in to surprise him. He walked in looking for them, calling for them, his mother poked her head out saying they were in the yard playing, he replied that no they weren’t, there was a second, of shock as their eyes meet, then tears formed in his mothers eyes, and she ran out of the house, yelling for them, the police was called and a search was lunched, that ended a week later with the bodies of Sarah and Lucy Edwards being found in a shallow grave just across the board in France. All of Europe was a buzz looking for the rapist/murders of the two girls, with them being found two month’s later in a Red light hotel that specialized in child prostitution. Yet the damage was do Daniel, his status as the next Chopin or Eric Chapin has reached the ears of girls and women throughout Europe as well. They had been for months before coming up to him, trying to get a piece of him, at almost any price, but he would turn them down, now with the pain of brutal death of his sisters on his heart, he give in fully. Drugs, Booze, and sex was just a band-aid to him, but for a few hours a day, he could forget all the pain, and all the hurt inside. However this was short lived thanks to the watchful eyes of his parents. They pulled him out of school and put him into a special rehab hospital and school that helped him deal with his problems, but he never really did, he just pushed them away, let his music take the pain, his new and really only drug, it was also this time he started smoking. When he got out, he found himself a new home, in the middle of hell, no hug cities that he grew up with, no more Germany, he had moved to the home of his parents, in the middle of Missouri. He hated it, but to make a mends for that, they give Daniel a place up above the garage, and turned it into an apartment, he would sit up there for hours, playing guitar, and just being alone. Finally with all the things worked out, He came up on his Classic Fatboy Harley Davidson, to Truman High. He hated being there, no one understood him, being new in a hick town, as a boy that had lived in Europe and had played with some great men of music, he tried and failed badly at making friends, and dating. He found himself, in the middle of being in a band, starting out as a Jam, the band five members started, and “Back in Black” was formed, mostly a cover band, they would sometimes play so of Daniel’s new stuff, but nothing major. On night, after getting into a fight with someone about a girl, he went to a party and meets the one person that would change his life. Becky Masterson, of the Family Masterson, big wigs with a lot of money and power in the town, and state, she was a snobby little girl, but something about her, the hidden pain behind her beautiful eyes, or the smile she had for him, or the fact she wasn’t going to take his shit and took care of this “touch and tumble, rock star” when he walked into the party, she sat him down and helped him with his black eye. A few days later, he went to the V-day dance with her, and they spent the night in the hotel, now most if not all people thought that they are up there fucking each other’s brains out, but come to be, they sat and talked, he explained about his sisters, and the pains afterward, no one can say what change Becky, but she feel for him, in the hardest way possible. It wasn’t a few days later, that Becky and Daniel had moved into together, with his parents blessing, they were good for each other, nightmares, long forgotten by staying up late, drinking red bull and taking Ephedrine pills, all started to stop, and he started sleeping at night, writing more music, and enjoying life. After a fight at school when the guitar that his sisters had bought for him was broken beyond repair, Becky went out and bought him a Brian May Special, lefty with a seventh string, it cost A LOT of money, but Brain May (of Queen fame) was and still is one of Daniel’s favorite guitarist. Three nights later, she was gone, her family was killed and Becky was missing. At first they thought maybe Becky herself did it, with all the shit that had been going on with her, and her mother and her brother, it was possible, then it went to she was kidnapped, however that then turned to Daniel, it took two months before they ruled him out completely. He fought with his parents at his said to keep Her brother from declaring her dead. He had to keep hope that she was alive, somewhere in the pit of his heart, which Becky was still alive, that he had to keep fighting, keep hope up for her. Every night before he would go to bed, he would light a candle and sing the song he wrote for her, and their “Theme” song. His nights where feel with nightmare, and more pain that he could deal with, he went back to his red bull and Ephedrine pills, staying up later and later at night. He finished High school, barely, and started playing full time. The band went on tour twice in the summer as a club band, but through it all Daniel held out hope, writing a letter to Becky, hoping one day she could read them. On his 18th birthday, he went back to Germany, to chill with some of the people he went to school with over there. They would go out and play at a pub or two just for fun, one night, he feel into the song he had played every night since Becky disappear, something made him, they always tore him up on the inside, but he played them and sang them like he had never done before. He came back to the states, working on gigs and things, but really not writing two songs, and selling off even his name off the songs, but still making a good amount of money. Yet he still longed for Becky. Finally, after 4 years, he started to think about dating, he never gave up hope, but he need to move on for her and him. One night after playing a rather sleazy place, that after 9pm turned into a strip club, Daniel hated those kind of places, so as he was about to leave, a girl walked past, now he had seen “Becky” a million times before, but this one was different, a feeling how she reacted to him. He played there the next night, and she did the same thing, he called her name, and she froze in place and then ran inside, well that was it. He got inside and watch them dance. Becky was a great dancer, and it proved to him that it was her, the second set she did, he sit up front and looked up at her, and said “I love you Becky” well she ran off stage, he got to her in the parking lot. They were to met the next night, as they did, she came running out, telling Daniel to drive fast and he did, straight out of there, as the club blew out. Things were talked and they meet again. Now with a future and a lot questions what is left for them, and for Daniel
