Practice makes perfect.
I am absolutely a “people watcher”, always ready to spot slightly strange behavior from the strangers around me. Pay dirt. Yesterday as I was driving home from work, I couldn’t help but notice (whether I was “people watching” or not) that during the red light, the man in the car in front of me pulled out a trumpet and played it until the light turned green again.
This happened for the remaining five or six traffic lights we shared until I turned the other way to get to my house. Each time the light turned right, he immediately pulled out his horn. It didn’t take long for others to notice what he was doing. Laughing to themselves as they witnessed the random happening.
Was he just trying to squeeze in some extra practice time for an upcoming gig? Or a recital? The man was at least 30 years old.
Or maybe he just really has a passion for music? After all, this is Music City.
For another humorous social observation in Nashville, read Operation: Mustache (A Social Experiment).
That is some real passion. I suppose it’s no different then women putting on makeup or men shaving. I’ve seen that.

Men shaving? Wow. Surely they could clear out a few minutes in their schedule to do that before they leave the house?…

Thankfully it was with an electric shaver!
(I love your stories!)

My dad would totally do that. In fact, I’m pretty sure he has.
