From the audience came a loud shout, just after the music died, “We were sitting drinking!” Not quite the right words, but certainly an apt description. Such an indiscretion never would have happened if the Eliot House bands had somehow ended up playing Memorial Church. Those lucky enough to have spent time in Eliot...
