A Brief Rant Concerning Invisible Brass Bands
During our family road trip out to Glacier National Park last week, we listened to the new book by David McCullough about brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, the legendary inventors and aviation pioneers from Dayton, Ohio. It is titled simply, The Wright Brothers. The audiobook was narrated by McCullough himself, and I loved everything about it except this: at least twice in the book (since we were listening to it, I can’t cite page numbers), he made reference to “a band” playing at an event honoring the Wrights.
Which bands were they? He did not say. Arrgh! I was so annoyed and dismayed.
