What Tuition Pays For

College Boy just called to report on his first concert with the NIU Steelband.  In the category of things you always knew, but didn't realize you knew... I am now aware that a valid success metric for a steelband concert is whether the audience forms a conga line.  Mission accomplished.

I always learn something when you post, dear.

Ah, but now that you think of it... in your heart of hearts, didn't you always know a conga line is what the steel band is hoping for?

It makes utterly perfect sense, but without your intervention, I might never have given the question any thought.

So perhaps College Guy, too, is gaining new perspective on the world of music from this experience.
