One day a lady who lived in town looked out of her window and saw a big truck pull up to her house. Out jumped five rascals and started unloading electric guitars and loudspeakers and drums…They took them into the neighboring house.
The woman was furious. Now her night’s rest and her ears and her life would be ruined by all the noise that would come from the house. Her husband came home from work and she began to scream at him, We’ve got to move away from here or else we’ll go deaf and mad with that string band next door.” But he calmed her down a bit and said, “Honey, why are you angry? Don’t you realize who those musicians are? They are the famous Sanguma Stringband that plays overseas to large crowds….Woman, we should be glad they are here, we’ll be getting all this famous music for free.”
His wife’s frown turned into a smile. She ran to the telephone and began to call her friends to come over sometime and take advantage of the presence of the Sanguma band….How attitude changed everything!
