While you guys were listening to opera, I was listening to L Shankar and Caroline;

I have never figured out what Caroline is playing, but she's always on the stage with L. Shankar, who is one bad A on double violin. I've seen Caroline many times with L. Shankar playing something that I never could hear.
This is all connected to a story I'm about to tell you. There are two local musicians here in St. Louis who lead their own jazz groups. Everyone knows they've been ready for the big time since the 70's. I've gotten well acquainted with both of them, especially since I go wherever they are performing.
Although I talked to them separately, they both gave vague similar stories for not hitting the road and making it big. Not satisfied with what they were telling me, I talked to guys they grew up with who were really close. I discovered they both were married to really beautiful wives who they were not about to leave while they went on the road. I believe L. Shankar has solved that problem by having Caroline on stage with him playing some unknown instrument that I can never hear.
(This has 6 parts, and I found all of them quite interesting)
