With all the excitement, I really don't remember much else. There are a couple of rain delays, Bill Lee pitches superbly, taking the Red Sox into the ninth with a 2-1 lead. Dick Drago relieves after Johnny Bench took Lee deep to right for a double. The Dragon proceeds to bring the Red Sox to within one out of a 2-0 World Series lead. And one out away from victory, the Red Sox and Dick Drago lose the game...
Instead, plays like Paul Chicarello's eighth-inning grounder to first sent the runners around. With Martelli (who had walked and stolen second) on base.

Yet the audience hears what the musicians themselves feel: that they are not three performers, but one--one spirit bringing three instruments into unison. Each man is sensitive to the varying moods of his two companions: if one shows signs of interpreting the piece in a special way, the other two pick up on it and follow his lead. "The raising of an eyebrow, the way a phrase is constructed," explains Greenhouse, "can tell...
