Lisa Sedaris is one of David Sedaris’s sisters. When Lou takes Sedaris, Lisa, and Gretchen to see Dave Brubeck play jazz, he decides that the three siblings should form a family band. Lisa is assigned the flute even though she has no interest in learning to play. She later comes up with an excuse to stop going to her music lessons after Sedaris tells his father that his own teacher said he had the wrong kind of fingers to be a musician.
