Here in Hillsborough, North Carolina we have what we call “Last Friday’s” events and recently I attended a performance of the wonderful Triangle Tuba Quartet on the walkway in front of the Hillsborough Presbyterian Church. I had a collapsible stool-cane but found a comfortable chair right up front. The narrator was introducing the next number titled “Cruisin” and made the remark “We really need a trap set for this number.” BUZZ! something went off in my head and I looked around and all I had was that collapsible stool but I started drumming on it with my fingers and I must admit I really got into that song and got a little fancier as each second passed. Later I confessed to the quartet members that I was going to put that on my resume that I had once played with the Triangle Tuba Quartet +1. I truly felt honored.
