“Where’s Dave?”
“Oh, you know Dave!”
“He’s late, dammit! This concert will be a disaster without our bass player.”
“We could do “Flight of the Bumble Bee.”
“Nah, that’s too overdone.”
“What about “The Lark Ascending?”
“Only you know it! The rest of us aren’t that familiar with old Vaughn.”
The evening grew cloudier, darker. They shifted around. The audience began filtering in.
Suddenly, Dave arrived, amidst a flutter of whispers. Taking up position, he bowed, and started a bass line in five-four.
The others joined in, one by one.
Thus began “Conference of the Birds.”
Peace descended.
