Anyone can be a Membrane. It's more a state of mind than a corporeal ensemble. The fun takes place at 7,500' in Needlewood lodge, situated at the foot of the Colorado Rockies. Sometimes we have internationally known musicians show up, maybe a few college teachers, drifters, Santa Cruz surf bums...We throw up (figuratively & literally)a few mics, tune up and GO! Savage, comical rock springs forth (God bless Frank Zappa), or maybe some weird jazz crud or maybe a Mexican drunk sing-a-long. As Nikita Kruschev said, "Life is short - live it up!"
