Found: Video of Me Jamming with a Local Band

Of all of the items on the Memphis Scavenger Hunt list, the one that I've been most apprehensive about completing is the video of me playing with a local band.

I do play an instrument, but the majority of my rocking out is limited to the confines of my home. Plus, I was worried that I wouldn't find a band kind enough to take on a fledgling ukulele player for a song or two. I got lucky, though. When I went to tape local piano pop band Watchpaper over the weekend for an upcoming feature, they were totally willing to let me crash their practice with my ukulele.

My battle axe

After a few minutes of general tuning and settling in, we all managed to make it through Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" in one piece. And as promised, there's video (though you'll have to ignore the weird angle - the camera was positioned on a music stand):
