We didn't call it a garage band, although literally we had a rehearsal space that was like a garage. It was one of our parents' businesses, you know, like a commercial space that was bare, was like nothing in there at the time. So we literally, effectively, were a literal garage band. And I and Dave and the band Avenue, and I, inspired by Mike Nesbeth, the one real musician of the monkeys, who in fact wrote a different drum, which Linda Ron Stanton made into a big hit with the Stoneponies. He was tasked to turn and he would kind of just stand there quietly back with his beanie cap, beanie hat on and play bass lines. And my dad, of course, played trombone in the big band, a couple, actually three big bands in total. I used them unit.
