My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/6/2008
Band Website: www.timdemillo.com
Band Members: Well, there's me and well, there's me and a pen my friend Mike C. made for me outta spalted maple that's guaranteed for 5,000 songs (I'm at about 300 right now), a black guitar named Pinky, some matchbook covers, legal pads, blank computer paper, more legal pads, old photos, artwork on the wall and in my head, 2 condenser mics and some software I ain't got a handle on yet, a white cat named Snowflake and a tortoise shell named Stormy that is secretly the Devil so I'm mindful to feed her everyday along with the perfect cat. There's a bass player I haven't met yet who's playin' with my drummer whom I don't know. I'd like to get Abigail Washburn to play some banjo and Sadie Compton to make that Hardanger fiddle weep a little bit. 'Course Yoyo Ma could sit in for a tune or two with Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer. Just hope those boys can keep up, you know. And Vanessa Mae said Andrea Bocelli could drop in at any time with Sarah Brightman to liven things up. There's a feller named Van Durham or Von Durham or somethin' like that down in the Carolinas or Tennessee maybe that's one of the best damn harp players I've heard since Junior Wells---him and his brothers oughta join up. The resonator guitar seat shall always be reserved for Charlie Parr if he gets a hankerin'. So, I guess it's a fairly large band. Thanks for askin'.
