Ever Done A Drum Solo?

I'm sure the crowd would go nuts if you did. Maybe next you could do a drum solo for one of the times when Al is changing costumes. That's assuming that you aren't changing costumes also.

I think what the first poster meant was if Bermuda ever considered a longer few minute thing.

First, I don't do solos, second, we don't have time for a long solo from any of us, and third, we all learned many years ago that any kind of real solo isn't funny and doesn't fit the theme of the show.

Yeah, that's the one problem w/ comedy music.

The MUSIC isn't comedy, but the theme of the show is. Big difference.

But isn't the music lyrics comedy? So that would make the music sort of half-comedy?

Nope, the music is straight rock & pop & country & whatever. Except for the occasional sound effect, the original songs' lyrics would fit perfectly with the parodies we're playing, and serious lyrics would fit with the music for Al's originals.

The critics (and fans) wised up a long time ago and stopped referring to us as a comedy or novelty band.

Okay. I guess I'll use the correct terminology from now on. So what kind of music do you play, if not comedy?

I do have to give the band big credit for sounding very good, at the shows. It takes some very professional musicians to get the songs to sound so good. But it wouldn't hurt to have a jam session the middle : )

I do understand what you're saying about not fitting in the show. It'd be still be cool though.
