So that this excerpt is not taken out of context, let me preface it by saying that Med Flory has a truly beautiful voice — you can really hear it when he croons “Skylark” or “Hoosier Blues” off his Med Flory Quintet’s “The ’40s.” But Lee’s story is just too funny (I’ll hazard a guess the musicians in Dave Pell’s band were friends of Med’s), and the best part is, Med got on stage and showed them anyway.
