The gig was just about ready to start when the bandleader called the female singer over and said: "Listen, tonight we're going to begin the set with 'April in Paris', but I want to do it a little differently. We'll start in the key of G for the first four bars, then modulate to B-flat for the next eight bars, change the meter to 3/4 for six bars, then pick up the tempo to Allegro for twelve bars, then modulate to F-sharp for eight bars, change the meter back to 4/4 and slow down to Rubato for four bars, play a tacet for four bars, modulate up to D-flat for eight bars..."
"HEY, HOLD ON!" the girl said. "I can't do stuff like that without rehearsal!"
He said, "Why not? You've been doing it all week long!"
