In The Reredorter at Abravanel Hall
We had the chance to attend the Utah Symphony performance last night. It was Rachmaninoff and it was wonderful. Prior to the performance I was in need of using the facility. Walking in I approached the area dedicated to the males of our species to relieve renal byproduct. As you can imagine there were already others participating in that delicate activity. As I passed behind one man he was proudly, I assume proudly because he did not appear shy in the least, discharging methanic pressure in a loud, unabashed manner. There was no delicacy here, take my word for it. I suppose he fancied himself challenging the big brass bass player. Frankly, I hadn't experience such a performance in such a place in such a manner before. I am not sure, but I think the pitch of the notes were about a D in the bass cleff. The whole performance would have demanded an encore if there had been 12 year old Boy Scouts there. We mature symphony goers didn't even snicker.
