I've written many times on this blog about my middle and high school orchestra director, Mr. D., who was never at a loss for words. One day, I told him as such.
"You sure have a lot of stories," I said.
"I've got a million of 'em," he replied.
And, so he did...So do most band, orchestra, and chorus directors, I'd imagine. Sometimes, they'll bring up those stories at the oddest times. I guess that shouldn't be too surprising, though. As one of my blog readers says, "Hearing all those wrong notes must do horrible things to a person."
