Folks, I'm in a band again.
Although I had been absent for so very long, I reclaimed my rightful place on the throne last night during our first full-squad Scamphearsal in months. It felt great to kick off the dust and rattle the catacombs of the musty basement rehearsal space. The night was not without its awkward transitional moments, however.
After messing up a spot in "The Proof is Altogether Too Late," Keith stopped the song and huddled with Nate to get back on the same page:
Keith: So has it always been only one hit there?
Nate: Yeah, you're thinking of the Nastri version.
Brendan: Wait - what?
Nate: Huh?
Brendan: There's a "Nastri version"?
(awkward silence)
The guy replaced me for ONE show and he already has versions of songs named after him. Apparently, I've had it wrong all along - it is in fact I who have the impressive shoes to fill. Two and a half years in this band and I've got to win my job back. I feel like a much much sexier version of Drew Bledsoe.
See how I struggle to regain my band identity at our next show: the International Pop Overthrow Saturday November 4 at the Paradise Lounge with many many other cool bands. If Nastri shows his face, I'm throwing down.

"The Proof is Altogether Too Late"
What it is this song about and where did the title come from?
Ah ha. The great mystery.
There are members of Scamper that don't know the answer to this question.
Care to field this one, Keith Daddy?
You can ask that question for years and never get a complete answer. I know I have. been. (asking it.)
Ex- Valhalla Kitten Naomi guessed it right off the bat.
Are you trying to make us feel dumb? I know it's from "North by Northwest." A movie which I HAVE seen, if never with full attention. But that's all I got.
Well, that's pretty much it.
Sorry sorry, late to the party.
Johanna say true; there's a heavy Hitchcock influence in The Proof. Poor Roger Thornhill.
