The Main Character

I inherited a whole bunch of money from my parents. I should go shopping with this money immediately. I’ve always dreamed of starting a band. Off to the music shop I go!

One drumkit, one electric guitar, one acoustic guitar, one bass, one double bass, one trumpet, one saxophone, one xylophone, one clarinet, one flute, one violin, one grand piano, one keyboard, six microphones and mic stands, twenty-six music stands. And of course I bought spare gear in case a string snaps or I break a drumstick.

All my instruments have arrived and been set up ready to perform. I look from the empty drumkit to the empty space where the bass player should be standing, all the way to the unopened trombone case. 

This is far too late to have this revelation, but I don’t know anyone to join my band. I don’t even  know how to play myself, it was just a fantasy. I believe loving listening to music was the same as playing in my own band.
