Juxtapose This

every weekend somebody brings something cool to homer's... LIVE MUSIC! customers will usually call during the day to ask about the performer(s): what kind of music do they play? are they good? should i come early to get a seat? i remember taking one of these calls when bob jenkins was scheduled to play that night, and when the caller said "what kind of music does he play?" i was tempted to say something like "oh, he's somewhere between celine dion and frank zappa." but i resisted the urge and simply told the caller that bob is an established singer/songwriter who plays folk songs. i know it was a generic thing to say, but i didn't want to scare the caller off. bob will be playing his cool mix of songs tonight, and my band, THE SUBS, is playing tomorrow night. what kind of music do we play? oh somewhere between fats waller and henry mancini. for real.
