Adam Rodriguez.... After considering the talent level around me "tolerable", and with the promise of being paid in car wash tokens, I finally agreed to lend my services to this outfit. I also agreed to play drums for them as well. Without knowing what to expect and finding it uncomfortable, difficult, and unrewarding at first; I learned to cope with the other members short comings, and have managed to extract some enjoyment from this experience so far.
