The lights beam down on the small group on stage as the crowd roars from the smoke filled darkness.
A man takes to the microphone and yells, "Are you ready to rock?!
The crowd goes wild.
All the lights go dark except for a single spot shining down on Mahnarch, sporting a gloss black Fender.
Mahnarch, pouring sweat down his forehead, strums an A chord...
...and then plays the intro to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". The lights slowly lift and the rest of the band follows suit as we play sets for the Youth Group of the local Churchs' charity event for the congregations' toddlers.
After a rock rendition of "Paddy Cake" I retire to the dressing room - slash - card table with Blix.
Mahnarch (wiping the sweat from his brow): "Woo! That was a good show, man!"
Blix (downing a shot of milk [chocolate]): "Yeah, man! I could have gone all afternoon."
Then we get down to business, as promised, since I filled in for his regular lead guitarist who was away - helping the disabled on field trip to the museum.

7) On any tree in your front yard: Can you jump up and grab the lowest hanging branch?
8) How many keys on your keyring?

10) Let's say you drive 2 blocks South, 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North from your house..and stop at the first business on your left....what would you be parked in front of?
11) If I pushed 'Play' on your DVD player. What would show?
12) Facing your toilet, as though you were going #1: Which side is your flush handle?
13) Do you live on a One-Way street?
14) If you were to grab a pen and put your signature on a piece of paper, which hand would you grab the pen with?
