While the music on this video is amazing, it has a very fun feature. The best tambourine player in the world! After awhile I couldn’t help but smile and then laugh. Hope he brightens your day.
Question: If this video is a metaphor of the publishing life and the author is the main singer, then who is the tambourine player? The editor? The agent? The marketing director? The reader? Feel free to cast your vote in the comments below.

Love this! I see that Lori Hatcher already gave my answer, but I immediately thought “MOTHER,” as in “My mother edited this for me and she’s sure it’s a New York Times bestseller.”
The writer – playing that tambourine like nobody’s watching, just for the pure love of it!
I just want a fraction of his energy.
That’s so hilarious! I love his enthusiasm–totally steals the show. So, if I were the main singer as the author, who would I want him to be?? Probably the super fan, the gusher, the one who shares and shares and comments and follows on every social media. They’re the real star anyway. 🙂
The tambourine player could represent absolutely anyone in the publish industry. He represents that person who loves what they do so much they would probably be willing to pay to be exactly where they are and doing what they do.
Craig Curtis said it, and that tambourine player could be anyone in the industry, but he makes you want to watch, listen and join in. There is no substitute for an agent who draws attention to your work, and to everyone around them it’s clear they love doing that for their people.
So enjoy this video! The tambourine player could be anyone in the publishing chain who loves their job. But, If I am the singer, the tambourine player is my CRITIQUE GROUP! Each member does their “job” well and joyfully encourages and celebrates any success one of us achieves.
Could also represent my inner child who rocks out while the adult attends to the business as a pro. Thanks Steve!
