What is This Thing Called Sphinctor?

The Colin Sphinctor Band was formed in a living room in St. Charles, MO. In 1973. Jay Schober generated the idea while driving a VW microbus across Wyoming under a full moon earlier that summer. Jay wrote a ridiculous song and talked a bunch of friends into coming over and recording it at his house. The problem was that not one of them, Jay included, could play a note of music.

Jay always said that music shouldn't be left up to musicians, so he found a guy who could blow into his hand and sound like a trumpet, and another guy who could keep some semblance of rhythm by beating a plastic pillow with a Mexican maraca.
