When The Music's Over

Jim James, Renegade Sheriff, Laramie WY: “I used to be in a band—My Morning something or rather we were called. But that was a different life time for me. Now I’m patrolling these streets, trying to keep ‘em clean.”

Carl Broemel, Senior’s Golf Pro, Myrtle Beach, SC: “When the band finished the last tour in Japan, around aught 8 I believe, I stayed around there for the big ping pong tourneys. When I came home I started hitting these little white balls and haven’t heard from any of the guys in the band. I have been waiting for a call for a long time.”

Bo Koster, Fitness Guru, Santa Cruz, CA: “You know what bro, I came up to Santa Cruz and meditated for like 10 years. When I came down off the mountain the band had broken up. That’s pretty much what happened.”

Patrick Hallahan, Chef, Las Vegas, NV: “As soon as the band broke up I opened a kitchen, went to culinary school for about 20 years and am pretty much reliving my second dream.”

Tom Blankenship, Auto Mechanic, Shelbyville, KY: “Well we got off the road and I just kind of forgot that maybe we’d go back out on tour. Kind of slipped my mind I guess. Now I am working for my cousin here in this garage.”
