Do you own a musical instrument? A recorder, a clarinet, your uncle's dusty old trombone, a bugle, a harmonica , a pennywhistle? Yardsale keyboards, ukes, basses, something for everyone. The kazoo is not an instument, nor is the slide whistle, but either will do in a pinch. A pair of maraccas or some cheap bongos and we're ready to go. Call up a bunch of your friends. If you drink alcohol or use recreational drugs , do so now. Count, one ,two, three , four, go! The sound that you hear is the best your band will ever sound. That first howling din, combined with singing or hollerin' by everyone not blowing into something, is the sound of joy. If you want to play a standard , just say Bill Baily or Stardust really loud, and start tooting as you may recall the song going. It will take care of itself.
Next time you get together, everyone will have ideas about how it should sound and you'll all start swearing alot.
