Dan
It's was a sunny sunday afternoon, and I was pretty tired, gone out the night before, and hadn't gotten any sleep, then I had to work a double at work, and ended up the day at our friend lee's house for a BBQ. I got totally wasted and after the BBQ Bill and Jay had asked me if I wanted to come over and play some music, or as we musicians call it, jam. Now I'm a guitarist by trade, but when we rolled over to Bill and Jay's of course they had the guitars, but bill did have a bass guitar sitting lonely in the corner. Now I've never really played a bass, the notes are the same as a guitar, it has two less strings, I figured I could handle it. So they started playing some of their originals that I had never really heard before. Sounded good to me so I laid a bass riff to it, and there you had it.
I came back the next day on their practice day, which was monday practice. Laid some more riffs down into their songs, and I was officially annexed into the band. Now jay's my room mate and bill's my landlord. It has all the makings of a UPN sitcom, or bad MTV reality show. We'll catch you up on things soon.

What's up Elmwood?!
I'm Billy, one of the two guitarists for the newly formed band: North Park Project . I'll give you the run down cuz I am more computer literate than the other guitarist. The band started when Jay, my friend and tenant, started nagging me on a daily basis to jam with him. I used to play guitar for a local hardcore band called Fulcrum. Anyway, I've always enjoyed the acoustic guitar and gave in to him. Never did I realize that we would form a band. We started slowly and I spent more time drinking than playing. I was having trouble keeping up with him at first. He's definitely more talented at the guitar than I. We found that drinking expensive beer was just the ingredient we needed to start writing some decent guitar licks. In a couple of months, we had 6 or 7 unfinished songs. We started playing with other people, mostly friends. We finally got Dan to play the bass and that night North Park Project became a trio. What does that mean? We had buy 50% more beer and cigarettes. I'll let the other guys fill in some of the missing pieces.
