The
Freshman Senators: by David King, founding member |
![]() One day, as they were rummaging through the music building's practice rooms, they came upon an old, nasty player organ with a cassette tape recorder hooked up to it. Yes, yes - an idea was born! Tony and David soon started "moonlighting" at this organ, and eventually filled up three cassette tapes with silly songs, including absolutely terrible renditions of Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart, Robbie the Robot (a beginning piano tune that Tony remembered), and even filled up one tape with odd renditions of Christmas tunes. As these tapes evolved, so did a name - the Freshman Senators... which, appropriately enough, was discovered on a... umm... Student Senate poster. And so an
idea was born. Soon after, Tony broke out his old electric guitar, and David and Tony
ventured down to the band room, where David's drums were set up. And they started jamming,
and recording themselves, which was unfortunate for the rest of civilization. |
