The Tambourine

Monday, February 25th, 2008

One night, I was listening to the fast version of �House of the Rising Sun.� It is a live recording, seven minutes long. Behind the singer, the band chants �rising sun, rising sun� over and over, and the audience claps to the fast beat. The piano, the clapping hands, and the tambourine sound like church and juke joints, like sweat and heat, free and alive. I started dancing. The sound of the tambourine had me shaking my head back and forth, twirling in circles, and pumping my arms and legs up and down like I was performing a tribal ritual, like I was one of Alvin Aileys dancers.

We laughed so hard at the bit about finding the perfect backhoe for the job.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

My husband and I often go to a local comedy club. Some of the comedians are very funny. Last night, we went to the club, and the comedian had us roaring. We laughed so hard our stomaches hurt, and we had tears running down our cheeks. He did a bit on finding the perfect backhoe for the job. It was hilarious. He talked about how he rented a backhoe to do a home improvement project. I wonder if he really had the troubles that he talked about or if he came up with the idea on his own. Regardless, he had the entire crowd in stitches.
