I think this is more what people expect from the Music For/To series, a
definitive profession enhanced by music, not some vague feeling-associated
album like Music For Soul-Crushing Ennui or whatever.
Baton Twirling, though, is one of those nonsensical cultural things that
I never really got, even when I was a little kid watching Sandee, our
next-door neighbor, twirling her ass off in the front yard. We had
backyards as well, Sandee, backyards, but I guess 99% of baton twirling,
unlike everyone else in the band, is visual. Perhaps a sound-generating
baton would revolutionize the baton twirling industry.
But truthfully, I immediately had a newfound respect for baton twirling after
watching a scantily-dressed woman twirling one or two of those fire batons
at Burning Man (oh, you're thinking, of course, but I've also seen
this in front of Oakland CA city hall, along with the Oakland Police
low-rider). Yessiree, baton twirling.
