Start a band? I have played mediocre for 40 years. I have always wanted to be a surf band member. Dreams shattered at a early age, But they haunt me still today. I have replaced my Fender Jag, and have a place to play loud. Lots of band members around me but I hear them playing in the basements not interested in surf. And Red Elvis band sounded so cool. No invite to jam, could be I don't drink cheep brew. I hope it is not a prerequisite
