Vaudeville not dead yet

Rich's novelty item
Originally uploaded by mark47.

Last night Rich, one of the reed players, brought this novelty item with him into the pit. While conducting the Marooner's Rock vamp, Craig gestured wildly at Rich. Finally Rich understood that Craig wanted the baton-through-the-head, and passed it forward. Craig put it on and did his very best to make Howard and Patrick laugh on stage.
