Some years ago you mentioned Modest Mouse a couple of times. I was in a second hand music store (here in the UK) and I noticed one of there albums and thought of you and decided yo purchase. I also saw an album by artist I got to see two weeks ago as it happens and just picked up a third for the 3 for £10 deal. I liked it. Some time later, early 2016 I had just finished the Tour Aotearoa in NZ and was in a cafe near Christchurch on my way home. The cafe clientele was mostly middleaged but then a young man, early twenties(?), walked in wearing a Modest Mouse tee-shirt. I smiled to myself and did think of you, thanks for the recommendation - even if herself did once say to me WTF at one of there tracks.

Nonetheless I enjoy music off all kinds more than most people.

Non-musical, I tried everything in college to be musical. However the choir director took me aside, "Mr. Runser, you are throwing the people around you off note. You must move your lips silently or leave the group."

I've always aspired to be a backup singer in a doo-wop band (because gotta have the moves too).

So why the string bass? And if you take up the bass and convince Beat to take up the drums, when you visit we could form that classic rock cuad: guitar, bass, drums, clarinet.
