    i was born in the wrong country (literally, the instrument i am famous for is not called AMERICAN [blankety blank] okay famous is the wrong word the two hundred people in the world who take my instrument seriously know who i am because the dude who invented the technique named after me with me thought naming it after me was really funny because you can spell my name with the notes of the musical scale but you know what i mean)

      Lol, I now know you can spell gagged with the musical scale. I had never thought about that before. Also, cheech and bach (if, apparently, they use h as a notation for b natural like they do in germany, it seems).

        I have made a username with my old stage name and I will start using it in earnest sometime in the near future (I am meeting with a band’s manager Sunday and this annual gig in the bay area that being in has been on my bucket list, well, I’m auditioning this year and I’ll let y’all know how it goes. I met with the folk who direct it in January and they literally took one look at me and changed the theme, and I got invited to audition a few different times, but the theme is literally not one that uses my instrument (I have this really neat hat it was so not about me))

        Yeah we actually have to cheat with a letter, one is not in the musical scale but that just makes it funnier (if you ever come to my class or stumble across my card it explains the capitalization tho)
