True story:

In Pittsburgh called to interview me. At one point the reporter asked if "Roger Dannenberg, trumpeter" would be right, and I said "trumpeter, composer, computer scientist, whatever you want." The reporter got excited, "ooh, I like that, 'trumpeter, composer, computer scientist'. They may edit out 'computer scientist' but I'll put it in anyway."
