Now that's what I call a percussion section! Absolutely brilliant and thoroughly absorbing. I was totally caught up in every movement.

This physical comedy with no words is a blast. So entertaining, the audience overlooks the flaws (Imogene tossing the cymbals down, getting up and down with cards on their laps . . . )

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you Sid and Imogene!

Real me and the other percussionists used to play cards during the slow parts

I wondered if Earl Wild or some other musician Sid knew told him about this sort of thing going on in the percussion section.
