The answer to this post title is probably a resounding “hell, no!”
And I can’t really blame you. I’m just a regular guy who goes to work every day, then sheds the corporate shackles to rock really loud a few times a week. Since this is the first post, let me introduce you to the regular cast of characters:
Todd: He’s the rhythm guitarist, singer and co-founder of Hung Dynasty. He also writes most of the lyrics. This whole thing is his fault – he was an acoustic open-mic strummer who found out I played the guitar. He dragged me into writing songs with him and goaded me into starting this band.
Chris: This is our second drummer. Our original split to go to medical school. Good move! Now Chris is stuck with us.
Matt: Remember how Spinal Tap used to lose its drummers to bizarre incidents? Well, Hung Dynasty just loses them to mundane real life. Matt is the third bassist to grace the band.
Stash: Stash’s real name is Chris, but that would give us plural Chrises, which would get confusing. He’s the bandleader of Dorks in Space – guitarist, singer and songwriter. He also plays a mean bass and has played several gigs with us. His wife, Emily, is bassist of Dorks in Space.
Dean: This is our stage manager and Todd’s big brother. He is relentlessly cheerful, even when Todd is yelling at him. Which is pretty much before every show, like clockwork. We’ve joked about recording an album and calling it “Dean? Dean! DEAN!!!!”
These are the main characters, but you’ll meet lots more in future posts. My next post will even have a plot. But hey, even the great bard from Stratford-on-Avon listed his characters before each play!
