Pontoon

I went to a Buddhist Supermarket yesterday. I purchased a can of coke and gave her a £20 note. I got nothing back so I asked where my change was. She said 'Change comes from within????'

When I warm up before a concert I can usually tell if my lip is on form or I am going to struggle. Apart from one jazzer, I had a good night last night playing Song of India and Send in the Clowns and another superbly keyed jazzer! The other jazz number was a skin of the teeth job.

Something happened last night that reinforced my theory about different sections. Whilst 76% of the Band had the number 'Under my Skin' in front of them, another section misheard. Now taking the fact that in front of them was a vocalist waiting to sing and the number they had up was an instrumental you would think the proverbial penny would have dropped????

But no!! Off we went and the section with the wrong number up kept going. So it was a case of 12 musicians playing the correct number and 4 doggedly sticking to what they had. The scary thing is that they did not realise ,which, as I have said for many years, if you don't listen to whats happening around you then whats the point?

I think the word is oblivious, but what really scares me is 4 of them kept going? and did not realise??? Be afraid, be very afraid!!!!
