A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE JAZZ GAME. Music Pick; The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Two Beautifully Set Ying and Yangs

If you have never felt the desire to lead an orchestra, music may not be your thing, but if you have, you may well relate with Rachel, especially if have stood in front of the fountain at the gateway, and watched the sounds being produced, not only crescendo with emotion but with geysers of water synchronized to to rise and fall in a magnificent display of a kind of 'water ballet'.

You can probable imagine then, Rachel's arms beginning to find expression, at first in small movements, meant mostly for herself, then as the music gains in confidence so does Rachel and before you know it, everyone else does too, Rachel's leading the orchestra... in a black tie and tales. The conductor is so pleased with her performance she even allows herself a beautiful and gracious bow to the audience (now numbering about 15 people), they all loved the performance and clap with rapture, Rachel's enjoyment swells, as she takes another bow, "thank-you thank-you" she says, all to the great dismay of her older sister Allyse.
If even the idea of openly expressing this desire bring to you some discomfort AND EMBARRASSMENT, you relate with Allyse. As this spectacle begins to capture the attention of REAL PEOPLE, of course, Rachel could not have been more pleased, BUT, Allyse.....well, she would have forked over all her money from the tooth fair, birthdays, and begged for quarters, for a MEGA PHONE directly wired to Rachel's ears. "HEY, CRAZY GIRL WITH A PRETEND ORCHESTRA, YOU ARE EMBARRASSING!" To her credit, she kept her thoughts mostly to herself and did what any older sister would do in her place. She moved to a safe unassuming position, next to her Dad, and with a raised eye brow, whispered through the applause, ..............."I think she's been watching too much Conference!"
