This is maybe going back ten years. I’m sitting with my brother and his wife at what is now called GMA Seminar in the Rockies (I think it was a Christian Artists things back then). Pretty close to the end of the seminar. Really been learning a lot from Tom Jackson, a performance coach, and was looking forward to another good session. We took our seat a few minutes before things got started.
All of a sudden, we hear this strangely familiar nose, like water pouring into a bathtub. Within seconds everyone in the auditorium is quiet. Maybe another second or two before laughter breaks out all over. It wasn’t water into a bath tub. No-no. Tom had forgotten to mute, or turn off, his lapel mic before going to the bathroom. After he’s done (he did wash by the way) he pops out on stage and the whole place explodes. The “What?” look on his face, and the roaring laughter from the crowd, is as vivid and comedic today as it was ten years ago. Totally classic.
I was reminded of that story, and the importance of maintaining situational awareness, when I listened to the “Good” Reverend Jackson's low-breathed whisper regarding anatomical alterations he’d like to perform on the Democratic Presidential nominee.
Tom’s was funny. The “Good” Reverend, well not so much.
