Over the years, I interviewed many clowns. I’m not thinking of clowns who dress up in makeup and red noses. I’m referring to people whose words or actions turn them into clowns. So I’ve had my share of circuses. What my career was missing was a face-to-face meeting with a monkey. I’m happy to report my resume now is complete. While shooting a small business video, our camera turned toward a small, stuffed monkey. He no doubt will steal the show. He is no ordinary monkey. He plays the cymbals, which makes his kind quite the big banana in Hollywood. The monkey’s handlers reminded me primates playing the cymbals have enjoyed key roles in movies such as Aladdin, Toy Story 3 and Close Encounters of The Third Kind. I don’t know the history of this particular monkey. But he’s coming soon to a small business video near you.
