Real Men Don't Rehearse: (Adventures in the Secret World of Professional Orchestras)
This humorous musical memoir is an "inside look" at what it's really like to play in a major symphony orchestra. Author Justin Locke spent 18 years playing bass with the Boston Pops (also for operas, ballets, and Broadway shows), and he shares truly laugh-out-loud tales of on-stage musical disasters, as well as magical musical moments, in playing for Arthur Fiedler, Henry Mancini, and John Williams. You don't have to be a musician to enjoy the stories! One note of caution: don't start reading this book late at night, as this is a literary bag of potato chips, very hard to stop. Also it's not good to read it in a quiet space where your laughter will disturb others!
