In middle school, two friends and I decided we’d be a group: _Uniquely Exclusive_. But we were destined to fail. I was the only one who could play an instrument, and one of my friends couldn’t carry a tune. The other girl and I wrote a couple of songs which weren’t too horrible for 14-y/o composers. We did have publicity photos that the tone-deaf friend’s sister took, so there was that. 😃 ---

Growing up my sister and our two cousins had a garage band we called Sour Apple. We got along like Guns-n-Roses without the talent. I have played bass in a couple bands. The best was Lug. We played grunge mostly inspired by Alice In Chains. My favorite will always be The Redneck Mafia. We do a mix of metal and old school country. Basically rip off Hank III. We don’t play as much as we used to but it’s always fun. ---

> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > the **Unholy Modal Rounders.** Well hey! A poster on my favorite message board was in the band that succeeded the band that recorded a song that I heard on the Doctor Demento show. It’s a small world. Closer to the topic, a relative of mine was in the short lived Long Beach group Lobster Boss.
