Special thanks to the student who, with a mouth full of food, leaned across the organ to tell Ellington we needed to stop at 4:30 so her boss could do something. He spent the break wiping that off.
Also thank you to Mr. Enthusiasm, whose dragging claps on two and four almost brought one tune to a halt. Later on when he yelled for Mr. Magic from across the room, I knew we were in trouble, and soon after that when he sat down in front of us a sang Oye Como Va at full volume while I was soloing, I almost screamed. I bet your teenage son was really proud of you.
Anyway...most of this is really good. Check it out.
