Deflated Organ

A trip into the country last night to play in Concert with a Compton Organ in Dovedale.
I have to admit to being a bit 'niggly' last night. For one I knew my boss and missus were coming so I wanted to make a good job of my solo so that I wasn't ribbed at work. In the end the solo went great, but they did not turn up. The second thing was, it was extremely hot in the room and we were on and off the stage more times than a violinist with dysentery. We were due to finish at 11pm but went on an extra 20 minutes and as we had been there since 6pm, made for a long night.
I then went to get my bone case from under the stage, only to find our drummers cases had shoved them right under the stage in his rush to set up his kit before the cut off time, This resulted in just my legs sticking out from under the stage as I crawled under to retrieve it.? To cap it all, one of our musicians must have left a case in the wrong place resulting in the 70 year old Compton organs mechanism shearing as it got stuck as the Organ tried to turn?
Ok reading all this now I was moaning quiet a bit, but to be fair I was knackered. Otherwise though a great gig and the audience thoroughly enjoyed it. Right at the end a member of the audience came up and said that the Trombone section would have made Tommy Dorsey proud. A lovely comment and I am glad that the section is sounding more stable, now I am not jumping up and down to announce.
