backstory
al lives in a large insulated underwater structure way at the bottom of the abyssal zone that houses a bunch of silly sea people. he was born into a family of three ( his mother, father, and sister lib ). he grew up playing piano as a hobby. he went to school with yves barnegat, befriending him, but did not continue contact with him until a while later. he studied dentistry before turning away from it to focus on the piano ( to the delight of lib, who figured people that actually have teeth would make better dentists and was fond of his interest in piano anyway ). he found work as a concert pianist and later as an instructor during this time.
al met barnegat again during the latter's ( only minutely successful ) career as a solo musician and offered to play piano for him. the two quickly became close and found working together to be productive and enjoyable.
they would perform together for a few years before asking noela laskavec, a woman they'd become acquainted with along the way, to be their vocalist. they saw quite a bit of recognition as a jazz trio.
eventually the three of them pursued a polyamorous relationship and had a daughter. barnegat would leave after becoming unhappy in the relationship, though they were able to become friends again after a few years of hard feelings ( mostly between noela and barnegat ).
goyo lantana became noela and al's partner, and the band's drummer, some time before they had made amends with barnegat.

barnegat ( very reliable ) makes an extremely compelling argument, to the amazement of al
( not buying it )
