Once again, we pose questions to the TSO's Music Director Alain Trudel, including asking about that time he lay down on a bed of nails in his tux and had a concrete block smashed on his chest (video here). We also preview the TSO's upcoming pops concert with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (pictured). Test your Big Band knowledge in our Big Bad Quiz of the day!
