You&#8217;ve played together as friends for a long time, why start a band?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt gives you an excuse to hang out more and play out.  Both of which are about as good as it gets!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Describe the last time you totally jammed out to a song<\/strong><br \/>\nMy brother burned me a CD with a bunch of old Bluegrass like The Country Gentlemen and The Stanley Brothers and I have been totally jamming out to it.  Songs like &#8220;Redwood Hill,&#8221; &#8220;Katy Cline&#8221; and &#8220;How Mountain Girls Can Love.&#8221;  Jamming out typically means blasting it in my car and  trying to sing all the awesome baritone parts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4165\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4165\" style=\"width: 148px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4165\" title=\"Jeff Stickley (photo by Allison Springer)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-12-195x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"148\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-12-195x300.png 195w, https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-12-52x80.png 52w, https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Picture-12.png 313w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 148px) 100vw, 148px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Allison Springer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>4. Who\/what might be a few inspirations or influences that would really surprise people?<\/strong><br \/>\nOld Gospel Hymns.  I think that&#8217;s the first place I learned how awesome harmonies are. There&#8217;s nothing like singing along with a congregation of a few hundred people.<br \/>\nAlso, the first three Green Day albums.  The songs are all simple chord progressions, the lyrics are funny, the vocal  melodies are catchy, the rhythm section drives and they&#8217;re a rock band  with twangy guitar solos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. What did you dream of being when you were a kid? (how \u00e2\u20ac\u2122d that turn out?)<\/strong><br \/>\nSomething in me wants to say I dreamt of being a UNC basketball star.   But I think a rock star was more realistic to me, even as a kid.<br \/>\nWell, my dream of being a basketball star never really panned out.  As for the rock star dream, I&#8217;ve lost the star part.  I just want to make music with people I love and not have to work a day job I don&#8217;t like.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u201c &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Stroll over to <a href=\"http:\/\/motorcomusic.com\/\">Motorco<\/a> this Sunday morning to see Mason&#8217;s Apron&#8217;s last Bloody Brunch residency performance.\u00c2\u00a0 And by all means, give Jeff a high five when you see him!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mason&#8217;s Apron may have been a band for little over a month, but that doesn&#8217;t mean these boys don&#8217;t know how to pick a pretty tune.\u00c2\u00a0 Nor does it mean we&#8217;ll cut them any slack, see how Mr. Jeff Stickley handles the inquisition after the jump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":4166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[311],"class_list":["post-4162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts","tag-gimme-five"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4162"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4176,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions\/4176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
