Long Dark Hallway

One day, as Jake was unloading his keyboard after returning to the City from a gig on the Peninsula, a pickup truck containing two men pulled up next to him. The men were gesturing wildly and talking excitedly to each other, but before long they turned towards Jake, pointed at him and exclaimed, "YOU! You're a keyboard player!" Bemused and slightly taken aback, Jake responded, "Yes. Yes I am," at which point the two men said, "We need a keyboard player!"

Two hours later, Jake was the newest member of Long Dark Hallway, Bernal Heights' own alternative psychadelic rock band. Longdark Hallway is:
