Sunday afternoon I go to a matinee show at the local concert hall. I had been given tickets by the office and have no idea what I am going to see. I score seats right behind the stage where I notice several large drums, xylophones, and an array of percussion instruments. The lights go dim and a quartet of Spaniards come out and begin a long drum routine. This is interesting. They then move onto the xylophones. OK this is still cool. But then they don't stop. Two hours later I'm ready to get out. I feel like I've been locked in a doorbell factory. I spend most of the second hour observing the audience. Many heads are snapping back and restless people stir everywhere. This is fun to watch. It's even more amusing when at the end of the show people run for the exits.
