Re: Once in a lifetime

When the music finished the packed audience left in near silence. Everyone was captivated by concert.

>>>>>For me it was thoroughly deflating having to face the noisy, booze fuelled outside world after that hour and a half of pure escapism.<<<<<<

Years ago that 'outside world' was found inside jazz clubs here in America the Beautiful
and where 'the offerings' was considered merely background music by a bunch of drunks and loud pompous so-called hip dudes .
I'm sure you have heard of the encounter between Gerry Mulligan and the guest who sat in the audience whistling along and as loud as a freight train.

By the way,the outside world is indeed scarey :)
