Elvis Presley. Really?
When am I going to learn to keep my big mouth shut? I told you guys I wanted to sing in front of a crowd before I died and sure enough, my wish is coming true. I'm going to Switzerland the first week of October to visit my family, wanted to take advantage of this time to mess around with my brother and possibly record some songs with him. Next thing I know, he calls me and tells me he is having a concert on the 21st and needs me to play drums and sing with him.
HOLY SHIT! I haven't touched a drumset in almost 16 years and don't even know if I can play, with my fucked up right foot and all. Then he sends me the set list. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Here, let me share it with you:

My parents said they can't wait for it, they will come see us perform. I have a couple of weeks before it happens to convince my brother to change some of this crap. He told me "You don't know Swiss people! They LOVE this music!"
Mommie, I'm scared. Hold me.

ton frère t'a raconté (une fois de plus) des conneries.
à mon avis, le monde entier, et pas seulement les suisses, adorent ces chansons... malheureusement.
et si tu le fais quand même, je te souhaite vivement de ne pas devoir jouer sur sa batterie. je ne souhaite ça à personne.
si tu le désires, si ça peut te rendre service, je peux tenter de décider ton frangin de modifier le programme...
Please don't. He might just kick my ass for even posting the set list... It gets worse. I sent him a list of songs I thought would be more appropriate, the only two he picked are SONGS I HAVE TO SING!!!
'If It Makes You Happy" by Sheryl Crow
"Luka" by Suzanne Vega
What's wrong with his drums? Do they suck or something?
Maybe instead of violin lessons, you could provide me with drum lessons. And at least, the sombrero won't be in the way of the sticks.
Otherwise, I think I will stick with playing the tambourine.
angie.....can,t stop thinking of me can you!!
