Take it from me, they don't like harmonicas, either.

The "previous" button at the top seems to be in a bit of a time warp.

This violinist was truly creative, and transformed an appalling situation into an entertaining one.
Several years ago I was at an internal company conference in a room with about 300 people, where my boss's boss was being introduced. My boss had authorized me to sit in the back with a laptop to inconspicuously crunch some numbers for a work item that couldn't wait. Unfortunately, I had forgotten at the end of the previous day to turn off my start-up sound: the Star Wars music that accompanies Darth Vader's appearance. I booted up. It was loud.
The sight of 300 heads turning in unison toward you with eyes the size of dinner plates produces a very eerie feeling, I can tell you.
(The boss's boss was very gracious about it because, fortunately, my boss had told him about the assignment.)

Coupla cool bosses there, IMH-bc-O, MtB ... I've gotten so that I don't even take my fone to church any more ... but I get sum rather interruptive calls @ other gatherings ... part of the job, sorta, but I'm hopin' that my "leave the room" behavior will make it slightly less of a bother to others, when I take those calls ...

I have GOT to get his version as my ring tone. And I don't even have a Nokia any more.
I'm in a classical choir and if my cell phone ever went off, performance or rehearsal, I guarantee you the director's laser vision would turn me into a pile of ashes.
