Several years later, John and I got together with a few other guys and formed a band we called Djibouti. We'd get together at my house to rehearse and record original stuff, covers, and experimental jams. Had we a didgeridoo or a Jew's harp, I'm sure we would have used it. As it was, we augmented our sound with anything we could find. On some of our recordings, you can hear the percussion filled out with clanging horseshoes and flexed cookie sheets. On one particularly long jam, I went out to the kitchen, made some toast, and rejoined the band with knife in hand to add the unique sound of buttering toast.
