3. I was in a band called "Big Valerie" that played only two shows. I played rhythm guitar and vocals, neither of which I was/am any good at. We played at a now defunct bar called Spiral on the Lower East Side. The big hits were "Spank Me" and a Country Western version of Queen's "Under Pressure."

I think the main reason I did the show was a chance to dress ridiculous and be on stage - my two weaknesses. We gave money and a tape to the sound guy to record it, but he forgot turn up the record levels. It either wasn't enough money or we just weren't loud enough.
