Its strange not having any Bands to play in this month as all are taking a break. I am going to see a superb Trombone player next week though playing in concert. He has asked me to take my bone along and play a few jazz numbers with him. Ha, I don't do jazz ,so that is a no no straight away ,although saying that I would love to have a go, but this guy is such an awesome player. However I am not ashamed I am not having a go ,as I have done it with another Band and the thing I learned the most was....don't do it again. Whilst those chaps were probably not the best readers, their jazz was phenomenal. The sax player shouted a title over to me ,that must have been written 50 years before I was born, but it was a standard to him. So I think I played the same note 500 times just to get to the end of the piece.I did not stand a chance lol.
Now the caged bird has gone there is no dust in the house, which means I can go back to dusting once a year instead of every week...luxury. Having got rid of one animal I was adopted by another last night. One of the neighbours cats wandered in and jumped on my knee. It was a bit surprising as I was eating my tea off it at the time. Still I let him sit their whilst I stroked him, feeling like Blowfeld out of the Bond movies. 'Do you expect me talk' No I expect you to eat your tea Mr Bond!
