    • Last night, I finally got my derangement of "Taxi Driver" for big band performed. I had tried on a few occasions to get it played, but somehow, all of the horn parts mysteriously disappeared. The only parts left were the rhythm parts- bass, drum and piano parts, so I was too lazy to go to the trouble of going to my derangement of it on Musescore, printing the horn parts on paper my brother 'borrowed' for me from the school he teaches at, and worst of all, taping the pieces of paper together with 'expensive' scotch tape, which I paid 33 cents for at a 99 Cent store. After putting all the parts on the music stands of the players stands during the break, I waited for the leader to announce that they were going to play it, fully aware that he might choose to either forget it, or choose to play more audience-friendly music, but he announced, "Now we're gonna play something our guitar player wrote", and I marched up to the front of the bandstand to conduct my derangement. I went over the tempo changes I added for the sax soli, and even told the story about the missing horn parts (hoping that one of the players might be shamed into making a public confession of the theft), but then was interrupted by the leader's pleasant command; "Will ya count the fuckin' thing off already", followed by an explosive round of laughter from the audience, band and myself, and proceeded to count off "one- two 'three- four". Even though the band was sight reading it, they played the schlitz out of it, and I humbly acknowledged the audience's applause, while collecting the horn parts to make sure that someone didn't rip them off again.

    • Well, you could pair Nine Flags and Spanish Rice, unless the latter was paired with another Clark Terry album.
