Missing Middle Words

"Then the music began. Then the music ended." Perhaps I did not quite do justice to the concert yesterday.

I shall tell you what happened in between.

To do that, I shall have to go back to just before the music began. Then I can tell you who came bounding onto the stage and sat down, and what instruments they brought with them.

Otherwise, you would not know.

Bounding onto the stage came Aleksandr Tsiboulski, in a grey jacket and pants, and a plain white shirt, and Jacob Cordover, in a darker grey jacket and pants, and a red shirt. They were both laughing, and carried guitars. They sat down.

They played Three Brazilian Scenes by Sergio Assad. The first one was Jump, the second, Water Lilly, and the third, Coral Reef. I don't know what a Lilly is, but maybe it's a Lily.

As soon as they began to play you could see that Aleksandr was the romantic one, and Jacob the intellectual one, not just because Jacob wore glasses. No. It was the expressions on their faces that told you. Aleksandr made sensual faces in time to his plucking of strings. Jacob played with an expressionless face.

This was surprising, because Jacob had longish black floppy hair, and I've already told you about his red shirt. Aleksandr had short light brown hair, and you already know about his unromantic white shirt.

It shows that you shouldn't make assumptions.
