Don’t Snap Your Cat = Don’t Lose Your Cool
 
Who: Musician (Cat)
 
What: Should never lose the beat (AKA: snap, as if snapping in two)
 
Where: Any venue
 
When: While playing
 
Why: … better yet, why not? – If the cat loses the beat, 
the cat will fall on its face.
It’s uncool to fall on one’s face.
 
How: Feel it.
 
All cats know how to land on their feet, or else they‘re not cats, 
but rather they’re perhaps armadillos.
Cowering armadillos.
Who wants to be an armadillo?
 
 
With a slight nod to jazz in the most virtuosic section (cool cats also make me think of jazz), Don’t Snap Your Cat is simply a work that allows the tubist to have fun, but to also show off serious skills. Easy breezy? I think not. Cool. Yes.
