James Pietragallo

Jazz.

That's his specialty.

Really strange.

Friends described him practicing sometimes obsessively, they said.

He was just, which is how you have to do to be great, you know?

So usually they said inside a barn on his family's property.

He's got a practice barn.

What a great life, man.

So other kids are doing other shit and hanging out, and all he does is practice drums, and he's interested in jazz.

He's just super into jazz.

He went to Camden Hills Regional High School, Orion did, gets straight A's, was named an all-state jazz drummer as a senior, which I didn't know they had.

All-state?

All-state, like the football team.

I didn't know they had that for specifically jazz drumming, but apparently they do.

The guy that fucking... Yeah, but that's like marching band drumming.

That's a different type of drumming.

This is a band band.

Yeah, this is a different kind of thing.

Well, maybe they do, but he wasn't in all state, any of those, and we don't know who those people are.

They're not involved in our story.
