"You're guaranteed to find yourself laughing out loud while reading "Real Men Don't Rehearse."
-- Strings Magazine
REAL MEN DON'T REHEARSE is a fun inside look at what it's really like to play in professional orchestras. Unlike the usual high-minded or salacious approach, this is a laugh-out-loud look at the culture of the certifiably insane people who play notes for a living. Justin Locke spent 18 years as a professional bass player in Boston, where he played with the Boston Pops and the Boston Symphony.
