“It was a fine old bush before it turned grey and wispy,” Charles<br />

joked, and stated that he once thought he saw Dr. Livingstone<br />

wandering around lost in there.<br />

They laughed, as the topic of conversation turned to the females of<br />

Fossdyke and their pubic hair, or the lack thereof. The four<br />

continued to laugh and joke on their way back to Fossdyke and their<br />

rooms. Charles again spoke to Mary before drifting off to sleep.<br />

the band’s development.<br />

They finished rehearsing ‘Life is Too Short to Be Sad,’ a melody<br />

written by Wayne with no title or lyrics. Charles had the title in his<br />

head from what Mary used to say. Between them, they expanded the<br />

tune. Wayne then adding lyrics based on the title. It was a fast<br />

tempo, catchy song with several parts, needing all four to sing in<br />
