They have to make our lives easier and now I have a wish. Well, as you know, I play with the Berlin Philharmonic, I play the first clarinet, but we have eight players, just so you know how it works here. Yes, we have eight players, and now I have a question. I've met a pretty lady at the bar - would you stand in for me at the concert tomorrow night? I'd like to take the lady out for a candlelight dinner." He says: "Yes, I'd like that, but I'll tell you one thing, I can't play the clarinet at all" "I said yes, we have eight musicians. You just act as if. No problem. We don't have a problem. You just sit in there, pretend and it'll work, the guys next to me are all great, they're in a good mood. They don't need to be afraid, they don't need to be afraid." He says: "Yes, good, I like it, no." Good, he goes to dinner the next day, the other goes to the concert with his wife. After the concert, the German finally comes back to the hotel with his lady by the hand, goes there. Interested him of course. "Well, and how did it go?" He says: "Well, it's amazing. So that was an experience for me. Unbelievable. Already at the first piece we had such a feeling." "Wait a minute, wait a minute. At the first piece you had what?" "Yes a laugh, we laughed a lot" "Wait, wait, wait. The first piece is the St. Matthew Passion. By Johann Sebastian Bach. Totally serious. Piece 244 in the Bach works. Yes, totally serious. Why did you laugh?" "Well, imagine that. We were eight receptionists!"
