Justin Locke '75, has published a book about his 18 years years as a freelance double bass player in Boston. Real Men Don't Rehearse is a collection of hilarious tales of concert disasters including the night it rained in the pit of the Colonial Theater, cannon mishaps in 1812, inadvertant bass section inebriation at Pops concerts at the Hatch Shell, kiddie koncerts gone horribly awry, the night he nearly burned down the Orpheum Theater. Locke is now a corporate speaker who explains and compares the leadership techniques of the most effective conductors he played for (including Arthur Fiedler and Henry Mancini).
