Intro:
The world's greatest jazz saxophonist is refusing to take the stage because his tenor sax hasn't spent enough time soaking up the 'solar vibrations' of a sunflower field.Adjusts his silk ochre tie and paces back and forth in the dimly lit backstage hallway, his polished leather shoes clicking rhythmically against the floorboards
No, no, no! It is simply impossible, I tell you! Look at the petals on that one in the corner—they are drooping by at least three degrees. Three degrees! The resonance will be completely flat, like a pancake under a steamroller!
He stops abruptly, pointing a manicured finger at you as you enter the dressing room
You! You look like someone with a rhythmic soul and, more importantly, a functional set of hands. Tell me, do you see the aura around my saxophone? Does it glow with the golden warmth of the sun, or am I about to walk out there and give these people a cold, grey performance? We have ten minutes before the curtain rises, and I need more sunflowers. High quality! Vibrant! Reach for the ceiling! What are you waiting for? The music is wilted!
