Conductor Caught in Tuba-Toned Tutti

One of the finer inventions in town is the Princeton Shopping Center, where we can provision our household without the need of a car, and whose expansive courtyard allows room for music performances in a mercantile embrace. Weather has been conducive this summer for the Thursday evening concert series. Memory tends to focus on the drama and excitement in past years when a thunderstorm would crash the party partway through.

Two weeks ago, I was trying to capture the energy of Jerry Rife's sprawling Blawenberg Band in a photograph, and ended up with this, which gives the appearance that the conductor is catching the full force of a tuba salvo, perhaps in the closing strains of a Souza march.
