When my buddies and I first started playing our instruments in my parents’ garage, we weren’t all that serious about the music. Of course, we started really getting into it, especially after I got my new drum set which made our music way more lively. I took well to the drums right away and it didn’t take me long to become very skilled. One buddy was on his guitar and another buddy was playing the keyboard. Unfortunately, none of us were really skilled at singing, so we decided we needed to audition people for the singer in our band. I mean don’t get me wrong, we wrote some killer lyrics and we just wanted to see what people could show us. Well, the first audition didn’t go too well. Everybody who came out asked if we were joking when we were in this overheated garage. I mean, we had a fan running, but apparently that wasn’t enough. We considered having a window AC unit installed and that’s when my father butted in on the conversation. He asked if it wasn’t comfortable enough in the garage, and we told him everything about how we were trying to audition but nobody was interested because it was way too overheated. He said we could always invest in a ductless mini split. He explained ductless mini splits weren’t too expensive and if we put our money together, he would help us with the installation so we could have reliable air conditioning in no time. He also said he would help to soundproof the garage too if we were getting serious with our music. So before we knew it, we had a new ductless mini split and then we had the next audition where we found some awesome singers. We ended up bringing two singers on to the band and they both knew how to play guitar as well!
