Press play to hear this AudioHopper Original production.
In this AudioHopper production, fitness enthusiast and hyper-educated writer Dan Friedman narrates his story about a chance encounter with a young “musician cycling pretty erratically with her instrument case strapped to her back.” The whole piece is a total delight, but take special joy from the expression “out of puff.” That’s because the audio version can’t quite convey how this fellow insists on that extra u in “behavior,” like every Brit around, no matter how long they’ve called America home. This story was originally published by Dan’s Voice of Reason as “Arrivederci Trombonista.”
Music:
Blue Bells of Scotland (1899) by Arthur Pryor
Trombone Concerto (1877) by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov
