We were going to the kids’ viola/in recital this weekend, and I told T that I loved the building it was going to be in (a 1911 theater, the Scottish Rite Center) — especially the ceiling, which has star-shaped lights and is painted with clouds. He grumped at me, “That’s because you’re an audient. I can’t even pay attention to it!”
Me: An audient?
T: Yeah, the audients always get to see things, but the people who are playing have to concentrate on the symbols for facebook” title=”music symbols for facebook”>music.
Me: The audience does have an advantage, doesn’t it? 🙂
