GET TO KNOW THE BAND MONTH!: Aaron Smith
This Week is the final week, we saved the best for last….AARON! Isn’t he so good looking?
My name is Aaron Smith, and I am a violinist. I’m not a very good violinist. I also play the piano, guitar, and sing, but I’m not very good at any of those things. I’m not really very good at anything, but I pretend to be and sometimes I trick people.
I spent the first years of my life running around in the woods with my friends and playing made-up games like “Super Gorillas.” We were gorillas and we were super, like, we could fly and stuff. I don’t think I need to explain why we liked playing it. I would play my mother’s old records that she didn’t like, and when she told me to stop, I would turn off the speakers, bend my head, and listen to the faint strains rising from the needle. I knew Johann Sebastian Bach made music, but I thought Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was cooler because he wrote Solfeggietto in C minor, which I often requested that my mother play.
I went to a private high school named Cornerstone Christian Academy. It was the real deal, with a dress code and uniforms, which prevented me from making any fashion decisions until I was 18, and I have a severely stunted fashion sense today as a result. In reality, that’s not the reason—I just have no sense of fashion. But I like blaming it on my high school. I had great teachers and great friends, and I never did any hard drugs, though I did have to put the smackdown on some punk ass bitches. One time I climbed a radio tower all the way to the top and almost fell off. That would have been the end of my story right there, if not for my clever fingers which eventually turned to playing instruments.
I started playing piano when I was 6 and then quit until I was 19. I took up guitar at 14 and hated it. I started playing violin at 16, and it made my back hurt. But I kept playing for some reason, and wouldn’t you know it, I surpassed all my expectations and ended up being mediocre at all of them. Now I play in a band called The Lighthouse and the Whaler.
Ask me what I’m doing here, I’ll tell you that I don’t know. I used to hate everybody, but now I think they’re alright. One time I had a girlfriend, now I don’t even think about women. I’m trying to be nice to you—please take the ugly grimace on my face as a smile. Sorry for being born ugly, and hopefully we can be friends!
