A question of motivation

On Tuesdays, the exercise is done by a certain Paco, who is much more energetic than the other instructors. Last week after an hour long session, I found Mr. Reel very tired and not very motivated to go out.
But it turns out... Everybody needs a little motivation! And one of the things that get Mr. Reel going is, we all know it, jazz.

So after the exercising, we left for the concert. I did not hear Mr. Reel say once that he was tired. Although the cab ride was a little long to his taste (about 20 minutes), he assured me that it was worth it. The concert took place in a church in Harlem.
The music was great. I could see Mr. Reel's head and feet moving with the beat. Four musicians were playing: a French horn player, a pianist, a bassist and a drummer.
After the first set that lasted an hour, we went to have some lunch (I had brought some sandwich). We sat in a little room were people started eating, and the musicians joined; Mr. Reel seemed a little intimidated! He told me that this was certainly a first. 
We stayed for almost the whole second set, but Mr. Reel got tired so we took a cab back. We talked about how great the concert was and what a good time we had.
