A musical cycle

I've gone on several rants about the psychotic neighbor behind me. Now, I would like to take the time to let you in on another neighbor.
Larry is a great guy, very social and down to earth. We help each other out from time to time, and I'm not sure what it is, but there seems to be something a bit quirky about him (although, based on his activities, I think the quirkiness is me. He is the one that goes fishing, hunting, owns a truck, etc...)
His band has gone through the evolutionary process twice now...
a- A group of them get together and begin to butcher songs,
b- After a while, I can begin to recognize certain sections,
c- Then I begin to understand what songs they are attempting to play
d- Then they begin to solidify and actually sound like a bar-band.
e- Then something happens...I don't hear anything for a few weeks. During one of our chats, I discover that the bassist and lead had a falling out.
f- Then, the cars appear in his yard again, half I do not recognize, as they begin to butcher songs...

He reached phase 'd' again about 2 weeks ago. I've been gone for the lats 9 days, and wonder of he's going proceed on a different course, of if they have reached 'e'.

I reckon I'll find out soon enough.
