Climbing on the roof of our house, cause that is what I do in Springfield

When my brother visited we wanted to play around and make some music. I was pretty excited about being in a ‘band’. Basically some people from the building like Dave, Jason, and Julio would come up and Jam with Shawn and I.

I have no musically talent so really I just contributed to helping set up recording equipment, simple beats, and a bit of editing. We did get it set up so we could record 3 or 4 instruments at the same time which is pretty cool.

We also had a pretty hilarious setup that allowed us to use wiimotes to make sounds of various instruments. We were using the wii rockband drums for most of our drumming until, Dave brought up a really amazing set of electronic drums. Then it was mostly me rocking away on a wii guitar which was set up to play horns, piano, drums, or whatever else I could think of.

Anyways, I didn’t post this way back then because I thought I might have some time to edit it a bit more. I also thought I might whip some of our other ‘sounds’ into songs. That hasn’t happened so I will leave here the one song as fully developed as it got… The Barbara band presents, Inoculation.
