Noreen, a foo-foo band consists of any number of noise makers which the sailors used to keep time or accompany a singer. It could be anything from fiddles and concertinas to simple wooden blocks. Ours consists of a rattles, shakers, two tamborines, a small set of symbols, a few sets of bones and a plastic rainstick. There is also the horn, quite literally a longhorn steer horn fitted with a mouth piec so it can be sounded like a horn. Alison was able to get two or three notes out of it but she also plays trumpet.

And the job market is pretty good now depending on your line of work. I work in construction and the contractors are always crying for good workers.

Eli sees the role of Ya-Ya girls as providing harmony back up only. The rest of us see that as a cop out to avoid leading songs. You ought to hear her sing Mexico!

Andrea, you can always come back.

Auditions depend on when you want to show up. The position is available until filled.

Just keep in mind, it's more than just a place in the band, we are a family and a democracy.
