Here's a fun fact! Did you know that in addition to being a Level 8 checkers prodigy and Asian erotica collector that Clark Matthews is also an expert tambourine soloist? Well, he is. That's why our TLO house band — Powerlines Down — features a tambourine solo by Clark Matthews in every song. It's also probably why no one ever comes to see us play Roadrunner Club on Acoustic Wednesdays.
I bring all that up because Marisa, our harpsichordist, asked a few weeks ago what we'd ever do if Clark Matthews got injured or left the band. I threw out a couple of options. One of them was to hire the guy from Brain Jonestown Massacre. The other was to scrap the tambourine and become a successful band. Neither one of those ideas seemed like a good alternative at the time, but now it looks like we've stumbled across Clark Matthews' potential replacement. Her name is Vickey Sue Beyersdorfer (pictured above). She really likes the tambourine.
