The Sound Investment

Along the course of the planning, we've realized that a lot of vendors work from home, and judging by the size of these homes, business is good.

This past evening was our first band showcase, given at the home of the band owner, Phil Sciscione. Phil's a great guy. Phil gave us a beer. Phil likes a lot of mirrors in his home. Phil used to have long hair, but it has since fallen out. He's pretty much a major stud entering his golden years as a successful wedding singer/wedding band owner.

The showcase was great. If you're in the market for a band, it's much better to hear them live, whatever the cost. Our fee was a trip through beautiful Norristown and a few wrong turns due to construction. After Phil lied about Kelly and I traveling all the way from Brooklyn earlier that day, they launched into the medley of all medleys, playing enough requests to sell us on The Sound Investment Band. They had the look (white sneakers, mullets, George Carlin) and the talent we were looking for. I guess that was the idea.

One vendor down, plenty to go.
