DIMAPEDIA TEDIUM

(another random sampling from the pages of my personal lexicon)

paycheck player: a blue collar musician who only cares how much the gig pays.

people's key: the key of "C" concert.

perp walk: a public spectacle of humiliation, auto-da-fé, or walk of shame.

playing for house: resorting to crowd-pleasing trickery on the bandstand.

pre-function: a refreshing beverage before the gig.

prelude to a gliss: the solo which immediately precedes Terence's.

prime directive: the guiding principle of discretion. See also "first rule of fight club."

proppin' sorrow: staring into space with chin cupped in hand.
