I is for Ida

The band, conceived of by Prue, during a lengthy train tour of rural Canada, whose songs on this trip were initially written for voice and dulcimer, came to fruition upon her return. At which point, she described the concept and demonstrated the process to long-time friend and conspirator, Quintin Mire (formerly of the Minsk Youth Orchestra). Thus began months of unsatisfactory straining at his ancient, and poorly built auto-harp. It was decided at this point, that dulcimer would become bass, auto harp would be discarded, and Quintin would play the more acceptable, drums. After a few months, it was realized that the unnamed group required broader and lusher instrumentation. Thusly (and appropriately), Victor Lye (South Wales Atlantic Opera Company) was contracted to make use of Prue's multivox string generator. This was a much more satisfactory combination. The name I is for Ida, was found written on a small piece of paper, in one of Victor's many hats. Finally, utilizing his "rural" skill-set, Hector dug Prue, Quintin, and Victor out of the very small hole that they fell into, and completed the ensemble. Now we write and play the fruits of the above-described tree. Thank you very much, and good day.
