Toilet Talk

The following conversation occurred in a restroom at intermission of a Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and Zakir Hussain concert.

"Dad, is Zakir Hussain really the best tabla player in the world?"
"Yes son, he is world famous and one of the very best. He comes all the way from India."
"Son, what is the tall instrument in the middle of the stage called?
"Dad, I don't know."

I chimed in, "it is a string bass."
Dad responds, "a string bass, is that what you said?"
"Yes, a string bass."
"Oh, thank you."

"And what is the little string instrument called?"
"That is a banjo."
"A banjo?"
"Yes, a banjo."
"Thank you, Sir."
"Sure, you're welcome."

As I leave the restroom I hear, "see son, we have even been more enriched this evening!"

It is true that music brings us all together!
