GARRETT ALEXIS COPELAND
"i'm not really supposed to be here. i've been to flat lake's music camp before... like, seven years ago, back when i was about fourteen. it was an okay experience for me. nothing stood out from it, but hey, i'm back here anyway! i'm garrett copeland, i work at the camp as an instructor for guitar and piano. i've been playing music ever since i was born, i'm pretty sure of it. it's all i've ever done in my life. my parents are frustrated musicians, i guess that's why they got me started early on the piano. i'm glad that i'm their first child -- out of four kids anyway, i'm the only guy. my sisters are pretty much bratty and self-centered enough that they wouldn't understand that the 'musician' dream was originally mom and dad's. nope, instead they were stuck with other unfulfilled dream of that moment. anyway, i guess music stuck with me, though. it then became my dream.
i got classical training under my belt, and most of my childhood years were spent practicing. so yeah, i was quite a weird and lonely kid. i grew out of it, though. when i was eleven, i took an interest in guitar and started learning it. okay, i'll stop making it sound like it's on my own volition. i got interested in playing the guitar because the 'cool kids' played it. i got curious as to what the big deal was, and i guess you can say i'm a natural? the classical training helped, since it gave me an ear for it. what i know is that the cool kids began to notice me, so i'm assuming i'm good. anyway, the whole band thing didn't even start until i was fifteen. the first time teddy reynolds approached me in all of his high school senior big shot glory and asked me to join his band. you got to understand that for
that band sucked, by the way. as with most high school bands.
i could go on about how stupid we were, and about our crappy sound, but the fact is: bad higene -- oh yes, bad higene is a band name *rolls eyes* -- got me into this whole 'band' idea. i got immersed into the local seattle music scene. and pretty soon, i get to be in a band i can own up to and be proud of: 'only slightly ashamed'. don't laugh, i didn't think up of the band name. i was just there... was just hit it spot on. anyway, if i'm in a band that is -- mind you -- up and coming, what am i doing here in edgeville? some problems rose up in tour and the band all decided to let me take a break for a while, to clear up my mind because they think i'm too stressed with allison and everything.
okay, i should explain. allison cale is a girl we met on our first year of touring. for all of the three years that we've been on the road, ally is... just there. she has always been there, so naturally... -- forget it. basically, she's found another guy and stopped coming along with us. it's complicated, okay? anyway, i'm not in arizona right now like i'm supposed to, and my band just kicked me out of the tour -- i don't even know how they'll manage, i'm pretty much the glue of that thing! anyway, i'm here, taking my bandmate's advice to just chill and relax.
