Sound check ...
A few Sundays back, we went to the big music festival to listen to everybody and his brother play. It’s called the Carrboro Music Festival here, and it’s one of the things that has made us the Portland of the East. We took in jazz bands, bluegrass bands, alternate rock bands, even blues bands. We also sought out a singer who billed herself as a parking-lot attendant by day. Perhaps, we arrived a few minutes too early for she did one sound check after another. Soon a husband of ours grew impatient and decided to leave. Reluctantly, we followed him. Lesson learned: You can do too many sound checks before getting on with the show!
