It's very uncomfortable thing and they're doing an absolutely amazing job um getting used to it. Our next tune is called Second Line, which is from New Orleans, Louisiana. Um which is a niche genre of jazz, which is one of my favorites. I studied it deeply in college and actually went there this summer and uh I met a lot of musicians and kind of told them that as a band teacher in Massachusetts, I really wanted

006to expose my students to that and they were so excited to hear that. Um so I had a lot of relationships with them.
