Behind the Music

"Three Guys and a Bunch of Drums" began many years ago as "One Guy and a Medium Sized Rock". Although Bobaloo's heart was into it, he had a problem finding work as a solo act. After talking his good friend Popov into quitting his job at the Drive Thru Liquor Store and joining the group, and the name was changed to "Two Guys and Two Smaller, Broken Rocks". This was much more successful and work was plentiful at weddings and nightclubs. Popov and Bobaloo were frequent performers at Studio 54 where they met the third member of the group, Sparky McNoodle. Sparky added a fresh touch to the group with his electronic influence, and the name of the group changed yet again to "Three Guys, Two Smaller Broken Rocks, and an Old Extension Cord with the End Ripped Off so Bare Wires are Exposed." All was now well with the group.

After Sparky's untimely death by electrocution, Popov and Bobaloo were at a crossroads. Would they continue as a duo, or find another musician to join the group? It was then that they remembered their old buddy Funja. Funja had just been paroled and was looking for an outlet to show all he had learned in the past five years. Popov and Bobaloo were convinced, and the name was changed to "Two Guys, Two Smaller Broken Rocks, and a Guy who can make Booze in the Toilet". Once again, the world was their's to take. They became popular guests on The View, The Tonight Show, and that Martha Stewart home show thing. Popov received an honorary degree from Child's Play pre-school, Bobaloo continued his frequent romps with supermodels from the 1930's, and Funja began a successful business selling his own creation of Toilet Wines.

One fateful weekend, the three good friends decided to take up drums. After one week of practice, they changed their name to "Three Guys and a Bunch of Drums". The rest is history.



EPILOGUE:
It was a dark and stormy night. Funja was walking back from Bingo night (where he sells his toilet wines out of the back of his Ford Pinto) when he saw strange lights in the distance. The lights were getting closer, and seemed to be following him. Then he felt as if he was being lifted in the air. Yes, Funja was being abducted by aliens. His dream was finally coming true!

We have not heard much from Funja in the past few months, except for an 8mm film that appeared in Bobaloo's and Popov's mail box. It had obviously traveled many miles (perhaps light years) and was pretty beat up, but when viewed, it showed a celebration in an alien world where apparently Funja is their leader and worshipped as a god! All of the people were saying "Taco, Taco" and "Burrito". We could see Funja sitting on a golden throne, surrounded by beautiful aliens, with a big smile on his face and eating Ren Faire pizza.

After viewing this film, Popov and Bobaloo had to decide whether or not to continue. It was then that Popov found this guy who had been lost in a cave up in the mountains of Colorado. He had been wearing the same clothes and had not bathed for at least a month. Popov had caught him trying to break into his backyard shed (apparently just to "hang out, dude"). Popov and Bobaloo gave him a taco and asked his name.

"Lemmiwinks" said the pungent stranger.

"Do you know how to play the drums?" asked Bobaloo

Lemmiwinks passed gas.

"Welcome to the group!" said Popov
