Alma Diggory (drums/vox)

The solitary female member of the ensemble went by the name of Alma Diggory. She wore ruby slippers whenever she played and had a mole in the corner of each eyebrow. No one was absolutely certain where she came from, or even what her real identity was, as she’d casually dropped into conversation one night in 1967 (Henry's journal [11.27.67]) that if anyone was to somehow fumble upon her birth certificate (a document which she inexplicably carried on her person), they would subsequently be ousted from the troupe and sent to live with the unidentified tribe of Álvaro Fe’s ancestry. Being the sole female, she chose to exercise the absolute power that invariably accompanied that role. Occassionally, and against her best efforts, this would spill over into the sessions; recordings documenting this phenomenon resemble a very primitive form of hip-hop.
