“We’re getting the band back together,” said the person phoning me.
“I’ve never been in a band,” I protested.
“You can’t be the holdout! What are we going to do without bass guitar?”
“I’ve never touched a bass guitar in my life. I only ever played a three-quarters scale violin.”
“See?” said the voice. “That’s what gives us that unique Suburban Jersey sound!”
“The only songs I was ever okay at were the theme to Masterpiece Theater and `Memories’ from Cats. And I was never that solid at the part where I have to finger the strings. Or pluck them.”
“It’s `Memory’. That’s what makes us such an accessible sound!”
“Are you sure you have the right number?”
Anyway, we’re opening the 27th in the Loft in downtown Lansing for Aphasic Marsupials and also Made Yer Bows’ Amateur Hour.

This is awesome. You know what you should do? You should show up there with a band of your own, and then be like, “I thought you meant you were getting MY band back together,” and then I bet you’d have a good old-fashioned gang rumble, but use your instruments to hit each other a little. It would be hilarious for all the fans who were there to hear some music originally.

Ah, thanks for the advice! We had our first rehearsal, though, and I don’t think it turned out as badly as it might have. Looking forward to whatever develops.
