Here’s a thing you should know. I made a new friend. His name is Ryan Hobler, and he is the front man for an awesome band with whom I performed at Pianos, a few days ago, for Liberated Matter’s Cross-Pollination, #295. He and I played three cover songs for our shared set at the end, including Simon and Garfunkel’s Keep the Customer Satisfied, Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way and The Beatles’ I Me Mine (we specifically wanted to go with three bands who were kind of unknown).
When working out the arrangements for these songs, the night before the show, I realized that Ryan’s voice is one of the most beautiful that I have ever heard. So, I suggested that we start drinking beers as a way to get him drunk enough that I could find out the secrets to its startling gorgeousness. My wily subterfuge worked.
Here it is:
1. Procure 4 sticks of butter, unsalted
2. Place them in large bowl at room temperature for 45 minutes
3. Check that butter is properly softened, not melted*
4. Using a teaspoon, slowly consume the butter
*Note that drinking melted butter directly from bowl may result in the opposite of the desired effect
Oh yes, the band is called Sunroom, probably the chosen name because the Sun shines bright yellow, like butter. You would be a fool not to check them out, here.
