Second Best

So it seems as if a Forfeit-8 reunion is in order as Brian, Nate and myself have decided to form a musical quartet. But how?! Thats only three members?! Well Brian and Nate are joining the brains behind "Kaiser Wilhelm's Christmas Orchestra" Reba and Myself. So as of now we're going to experiment with having no bass in the band seeing as Nate's real talent lies in his piano ability, so it looks like this

Reba - Violin, Vocals and lyrics and anything else that may or may not begin with a "V"
Ryan (hey thats me) Guitar and words of some sort when they are called for
Brian - Drums and spleen
Nate - Piano

You can't understand how hard it is to find even a serviceable singer in the "scene" today. Theres no reason why there aren't 8 people that can sing at least passably well but for some reason...well, there aren't. I'm pretty sure everyone (all two of you) that reads this has heard Reba sing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", only those of you out there who understood the biggest criticism of Valhalla. can understand exactly how wonderful it is to have someone that can sing well. And Reba has perfect pitch, lemme tell you a story, one time her tea kettle made that hissing noise and i asked her to tell me what note it was. She laughed, then paused and said "B flat" and i thought she was kidding but then i ran into an adjacent room and picked up her guitar and played a b flat. She was right and i was borderline disgusted. The best thing is that she's very modest about her singing ability. She's great but refuses to acknowledge as much. No ego's = good music in my book.

Any suggestions for band names would be greatly appreciated. Have fun with this.

I don't really have alot to talk about that is very interesting.

Wait! I gonna write a book using John's idea about a serial killer who think's he's acting in self defense (to completely paraphrase and simplify his idea). I'm pretty sure i'm actually going to do this because i like the premise alot and i've recently found a lust for narrative writing.
