That looks easy enough even for me to play it

20 years after getting my music degree, I still have this nightmare sometimes.

I never forgot my tuba!...

So I got to spend my time looking at the empty spot where my mouth piece would be if i hadn't forgotten it at home.

Once, I forgot my clarinet and had to march an entire televised state football game with my empty hands at attention in front of my face like a fool 🙃

POV: You are a young John Cage.

Joe: Ok Q, youre playing a trumpet in this high school band.

Q: ...idk how to play the trumpet. Plus I'm gonna look like a really weird old guy in a group of kids.

Sal: Yeah, that's the point!

Q exits, Murray unplugs the mic

Murr: What Q doesn't know is that there is no band, he's gotta go on stage and do a solo in front of the whole audience.

Joe: Also, his trumpet case is empty.

You gotta tap your foot to the beat, and that's it
