Rock Saga: The reply part deux
I got some more replies from my ad. Who knew there were so many folk/bluegrass bands in Ann Arbor? Anyway, I got one this morning from this band Orpheum Bell, which is a straight up legit band (check out Midnight Terms and Something from Above) . They say they need a multi-intrumentalist and vocalist/writer. So, I told them I’m not so hot at instruments but can sing and write with them....
Rock Saga: The reply
I’ve already gotten a few replies to my post on craigslist but one in particular that I’m really interested in.

Me: *kicked out*

I just got my Sirius Satellite Radio player and it is awesome. I was originally waiting until I got my stimulus package to buy it, but after a week worth of the most tedious task at work (mounting 30 micron brain slices onto slides) I decided I couldn’t wait. I went with Sirius instead of XM because it has more stations that I want including TWO 90’s alternative rock stations,...
