The Origin of the Name of my old Band. NaBloPoMo 23
At Friendsgiving, Stacie asked what the name of my old band was and I told her: Fred's Been Shot.
Stacie asked if there's a Fred...
I said, yeah, my Pop.
Was he shot? she wondered.
Well... I had to tell her the whole thing. Pop was a volunteer park ranger in Hawaii. He was out in the park picking up something on the ground and he stood up really fast. He scratched his head on a low-hanging tree branch. He didn't realize the cut was bleeding, especially because he was all sweaty.
As Pop started back along the beach (he was in Hawaii so odds are there'd be a beach), he encountered one of the other park rangers leading a group of tourists.
The other park ranger shrieked, "Fred's been shot! Everybody get down!"
And they all hit the deck.
Meanwhile, Fred was very confused.
I told this story I guess to my bandmates and they laughed as hard as Stacie and somehow that became the name of the band.
