That would be one baaaadass band. Heavy on the horns, though. We have Sax and Uke duking it out for 1st sax. TubaDiva playing-- what else-- the bass. Joe Cool has mentioned his prowess on a horned instrument. SqrlCub writes and has played professionally. Cecil will buy some recording time and we’ll make a Straight Dope CD. Who wants in? What’ll we name the band and the CD. My vote for band name: Strange Dope (what my family calls this board) CD name: Fighting Ignorance. ---

Regarding me and Uke duking it out for 1st chair saxophone: I’ll play tenor, he can play baritone. Chicks love baritone sax players. What type of music are we playing, anyway? ---

I volunteer my keyboard and/or percussion talents to this worthy enterprise. I’m also a decent singer, if not a great one, so maybe I could also do background vocals or something. ---

Tambourine/Go-Go Girl signing in. No real musical talent, but at least I can keep a beat. ---

Tambourine Girls are good. You can never have too many Tambourine Girls. Wasn’t Betty the Tambourine Girl in the Archies? Skimpy outfits required. The audition line forms on the left. ---

People, settle down. As your manager, I’m afraid I have some bad news. I hired some people to paint the tour bus and, well the results aren’t too good. Seem like they were all color-blind cubists or something. I’m looking into something else for transportation and I’ll let you know when I found it. ---

I’ll handle press conferences and backroom dealings to get us airplay, cushy gigs, great media exposure, and big paydays. Oh sure, it might mean I will receive under the table money, all expense paid trips, and a lot of press but I am willing to bite the bullet so the rest of you can pursue your musical dreams. ---

Background vocals, keyboard, percussion. I’m adequate on a trap set, but I can play vibes, xylophone, timpani. Do we get uniforms with a shiny gold braid on the coat and big red stripe running… Sorry, got into Music Man mode for a second there.
