Marti let us know last week during our lunch outing, that she had been thinking we should start a band and call ourselves "Carol and the Huff Girls". I was immediately all in, to the point that I asked Marti if she wanted to be the lead singer or play either the guitar, bass, or drums. She locked on to the role of drummer straight away without blinking an eye. I jumped in next claiming the role of the head vocalist. When Jennifer came back from getting something out of the car, and we filled her in on the idea, she said she wanted to be front and center with the singing. I had to shut her down right away, telling her that was my role. She acquiesced to acoustical guitar without too much pushback, leaving Nancy as the bass player. Nancy countered immediately that she would play the tambourine and just like that, we had a plan worked out.
I have let them all know that in addition to singing, I would begin to work on getting some gigs lined up for us. As soon as we have a schedule worked out, I will post dates and locations here in the event that you want to be in attendance. It's sure to be a rollicking good time.
We went to 3rd Street Social on Main in KC for lunch. If you go, GET the TOMATO PIE. It's delicious and not your traditional pie filled with tomatoes. Think open-faced pie with heirloom tomatoes, arugula on top, plus melty cheese. OMG. Our funniest line of conversation was Nancy telling us that Marti had mentioned a dream where she was in a coffin holding something in her hands but she couldn't remember what it was. Someone said something like "what do you think it would be" or "what is something significant you would want it to be" to which Marti replied with her razor sharp humor "I can't remember anything, how could I know that?" To which we all busted out laughing. Marti's lack of perfect recall memory does not play a role in her extreme value to our girl band. Can you even imagine how great she's going to be on drums?
