Musicians! (rambling on Nashville C.L.)

I'm thinking that has been sizzling for a while, now.

 

The repetition really makes it.

 

Too bad that’s Bellevue Tennessee and not Washington

 

I read until we went Krogering the second time.

 

For posterity:


Musicians! (Nashville)

Hello I am looking for bandmates, songwriters mostly but I wouldn’t mind if they can play an instrument as well. I will be the boss and I can pay you and we will have a place to rehearse with dogs, but that is not really the point, mostly I am looking for bandmates. Back in the 80s I was in a Stevie Wonder cover band, I did the tambourine mostly and I still remember all those songs, so we could do those mostly. The other day I was down to the Krogers, the one right here in Bellevue (Tennessee not Washington), not that this is even my point but it's important to say so they have all kinds of stuff not just food but like tables and plates and things so I’m pretty sure we could even make our own shows. I’m thinking we get our sizzle down, you know we don’t want to sound like anyone else ever before but there are rules in music to follow so we should do that, and mostly people won’t pay for tickets unless they know they like the band so we’d have to make sure they know that before we even try to sell them tickets. Or they won’t buy tickets. But I have ideas about music, and I think we can get a band if we have bandmates. Not so many people are aware that if tribal rhythms added to Sinatra, that was mostly what were what made rock and roll, and I bet if we searched like maybe Greenland or Graceland we could outdo Fisch, or even Duran Duran tho I know that sounds a little crazy to consider? So I got a guitar, and I’ve been practicing with it for 13 years now, and all my firends or even all the people who ever hear me say I’m really really good, that I can sound mostly like BB or Willie, but more to the point I’m looking for bandmates so if there’s another guitarist near Nashville maybe I could be the keyboard programmer. But I really think we should do our own thing and not sound like anyone who ever came before us, even if there are rules and people won’t buy tickets unless they know they like us even before they’ve heard us. You know what I mean? Right? So there’s that anyway. This one time I was working on this idea of a band, I’ve actually been thinking about it for a long time, I really do think it might work since I’ve been thinking of it for so long, but this one time I borrowed a guitar for a show I was actually going to get to perform, and I got all the way to the show which was in another county next to mine, it wasn't where I lived it was a ways away, and this is actually my point, but then when I got there it turned out the guitar didn’t have any strings. So that one didn’t happen. But it doesn’t mean the next one won’t!!! So. Lets rawk. Mostly tho I am looking for bandmates, songwriters for the most part but I wouldn’t mind if they can play an instrument as well.

This reminds me of how my five year old puts together adventure ideas. And yes, they almost always end up involving our dog.

 

Well, um - never mind....

 

I just found a follow up posting. It appears the author was attempting some literary humor based on a “shaggy dog” joke. I don’t know what that means but I think the original piece is hilarious. Especially the last bit about the guitar without strings.

 

“that I can sound mostly like BB or Willie”…. Uhhh….that’s BB gun and willie Sutton

 

So, like this would be a Stevie Wonder tambourine band that plays AT Kroger’s while people shop for picnic supplies and sizzle?

Compelling.

 

One time.. at band camp...

 

Bring your dog. She can pay you. With 80s tambourine cover money.

 

+1

THE very first thing that came to my mind. You beat me to it.

 

....but it could be.
