1. How could you exclude the tambourine?
The only musical instrument that requires absolutely no musical talent? That is exactly what I excel at! :)

16. Aw jeez, I was going to be the chick with the tambourine.
With the knee-high white vinyl go go boots and the minidress.

I have to go iron my hair now.

9. I play the male organ like a demon!
Actually, I'd rig it so that I could play bass and drums at the same time (these are my forte, I've always been my own rythym section...in my band, I play these in the studio, and we get some stooge to play the drums for us when we play live.)

17. The Replacement after the lead guy dies in an accident
The Replacement after the lead guy dies in an accident. Then I'd appear on VH1 on the documentary about the band talking about how hurt I was when the band's fan's wouldn't accept me and reveal how many drugs the other guys did on their "nightmare descent into drugs and alcohol." At the end I'd be the last member of the band appearing at State Fairs playing all the hits that they had before I joined because if I play the stuff that appeared on my solo album I'd be booed.

Just 2?!?!?!? Me and one other person?!?!?!?

Come on, not all keyboard players are geeks like Billy Joel and Elton John. It's cool to be a keyboardist!

25. Oboe?!?!
I played oboe in high school. I've only heard it in a band once - a jazz band.

You have to remember that "it's an ill wind nobody blows good".
