Larson Family Band Plays Living Room

     The Larson Family Band played their living room on last Monday despite low security and poor attendance. It was the first gig they had played in months. Originally scheduled to play The Cedar Cultural Center, The Larsons realized they'd have to move their concert to their living room when they realized they didn't have a sitter for their 22 month old, Jack.
     "It was kind of a bummer." said Karen who sings and plays Mandolin. "What were we thinking?" sighed Josh the group's guitarist and vocalist. The show started at approximately 7:00 and ended forty five minutes later. The duo knew they were in trouble when Jack stole their picks and attacked their instruments. "I can't believe security didn't stop him." complained Josh, who played the entire set sans pick. "I mean just because nobody was there doesn't mean they shouldn't have done their job."
     Security declined to be interviewed for this article.
     As for The Larsons, they will continue to soldier on in spite of toddler interference. "There's definitely opportunity out there.  We just have to keep everything away from him. One idea is to play all our gigs standing up rather than sitting down...comfortably. So he can't reach our instruments." Karen added "We've tried sooo hard to teach him play several different instruments so he can be in the band, but he just refuses to take it seriously. When he first threw his harmonica across the room, I thought it was very cool. Very punk rock. But now...I'm not so sure.
     What The Larson Family does know for sure is that Jack is a good dancer. "He really gets into it sometimes. He's learned a lot about dancing from watching the first fifteen minutes of the movie "Happy Feet." Says Mom.
   "We just have to be patient."Says Dad. "I'm sure he'll be playing lead guitar by next year."                  
     Boy, ain't that the truth.
