And we got to keep the shirts. I just need to get the nerve to weird it somewhere. His music was weird, the pieces didn't act like songs. Also he said "on this one it needs to faster and faster" I said "I've spent my whole life trying to learn to play steady, not go faster Thats what I get paid for" He said "Music is secondary and needs to serve the narative" It was hard to play what he wanted. There was no one with strong musical direction skills who could have spiffed it up made it easy. We just had to get with Ken the Singer, writer, director  and star and learn the tunes, make charts which he didn't want us to use  on screen. We had about three rehearsal. The quirkiness of the songs made the  music hard to learn so fast. If they had someone right it out the way they want it, they could find players. But we managed to learn things had plenty of time to work on them because the scenes were shot over and over.

So I was a little nervous about how it was gonna come of because recordmaking standards are higher than what we were goin with.

But seeing the film I realized that the music was just one of the parts of what was happening. Even scenes of the band playing there is so much other stuff happening that the music is not the focus.

Seeing it working together was another lesson in this craft.
