The Impromptu Jam Session

Daniel and a guy (Rodolfo; the guy who's been working the past few days was Adonais) show up around 10:45am. He still insists they'll get it done today, and by 6pm. He apologizes for the schedules; he's got a lot of jobs, and he squeezed us in (usually he has about 3 weeks between commit and work, here he had about a week), but says it will look great and he will make it all good.

As they're working, we do some laundry. Then Daniel looks around for us- I come upstairs and, well, it's easier to just play it out.

[Daniel] "Do you play banjo?"
[Vern] "No, but Mark does! He's awesome at it."
[Daniel] "Cool! I am in a band... We are working on a CD." etc. (talk about music, instruments, Mark is upstairs by this point)
[Mark] "Yeah, I had a band back in Texas, but not here."
[More talk about music and genres and stuff. Daniel asks to hear some banjo.]
[Cue Mark playing banjo. Daniel also plays piano, in addition to guitar.]
[Cue Mark tuning banjo to the untuned piano.]
[Daniel starts playing piano really well and singing (in Romanian, though). Mark starts playing along.]
[More discussion of music and banjo; Daniel had a mandolin play on the song he wrote on the CD - if he'd have known Mark played banjo, he would have asked him to sit in. He asks if the banjo plays slow songs or something, Mark discusses the differences with the banjo - lack of sustain or whatever musicy whatsits. But then plays how banjo approaches a slow song. Writes down the chords for Daniel so he can accompany on the piano. They start jamming out. I'm attaching my spy clip of them playing; just ignore the video part. You can also hear the sanding going on upstairs.]

 
[Daniel] "This is great! Can I call you? We can jam?"
[Mark] "Why, yes, of course! I'm going to get some tacos. Would you like one?"
[Daniel] "Sure!"

[End scene]

And that, my friends, is something you can't make up.

By the way - Daniel's band has some videos up on youtube, one being: Zbor. Daniel is the main singer, and Adonais is the bass player, and the guy working today (Rodolfo) is in there, too.
