Excuse 43: "I haven't played in years."

"But I haven't played in decades."

Nope, the excuse didn't work."

"But I haven't played with a big band since the school."

That one didn't work either. John Johnson isn't the first former MU to be dragged kicking and screaming onto the bandstand.

And to make it easy for John, the director called up a Buddy Rich chart; you know, one of those easy-listening affairs with alternating bars of 3, 7, and 13 1/2.

No problem. We're not here to cut each other down. We're the best audience a rusty MU can play for; a room full of MUs.
