The Squigglies

    Alex Jackson was the lead guitarist for his high school band The Squigglies. The gravely crunch he made with his guitar melted the faces off the audience, and his melodic vocals lifted them right back on.

    After one of their shows, the audience couldn't comprehend what they'd heard, and that's not a metaphor. It usually took two to three days for their senses to return to normal. This is all because of the magic imbued in both their instruments and their playing.

    While Alex was the lead guitarist, it was together with the front-man Adam Brightface, bassist Rob Grobber, and drummer Chris Crashracket, that The Squigglies made such magical music. They attained this gift one night in the Forest of Pink Bennisence. In the middle of the forest is a hollow, and the four were drawn there, each hearing the quintessential manifestation of the instrument he played. When they arrived at the hollow, they each noticed each other, and understood.  Alex asked the others "and what do we call ourselves?"

    Looking down at the ground were indecipherable squiggly marks imprinted in the ground. "The Squigglies" Adam replied. They each nodded one after the other and together spoke their bond "The Squigglies."

    The departed the hollow together, in the direction Alex came from, and thenceforth bestowed upon anyone who would hear their music, the essence of squiggly magic throughout their body.
