Following on from the last post and adding to the Septet another suggestion for a musician is
Alice Tree...(Thanks Amy and don't forget it's 'Make up, Mirror, Signal,Manoeuvre!!)
This weekends Concerts in Ashby were magnificent to say the least. The Band (playing in Dinner Jacket and not restrictive Uniform...Thanks RTW) were as tight as my USA uniform trousers.
'Smokin' would be the word. The fronting by our new M/C was impeccable and professional and the audience on both nights were 'up for it' Our new MC is good looking, witty and Charming (yes I am jealous)!!!
They were treated to the longest Drum Solo I have ever listened to (so long in fact that I started to grow hair) in Skin Deep by our drummer, which brought the house down.
I actually was pleased with my own playing and now the Trombone section is settled, that to sounded awesome.
So it is now nearly a Year since I gave up the mic and I have no regrets whatsoever. It has given the Band a new lease of life with someone fresh and with new ideas leading them and is just the thing they need. In fact if a lesson is to be learned it is this.
Within everyone there is an inner voice. If it says 'You have gone as far as you can' then listen to it. If it says 'Stop' then listen to it' If it says 'Run down the street naked' then IGNORE it as the voice is having a bad day. An inner voice is seldom wrong and it's a shame some of our glorious MP's do not listen to theirs???
I just hope now that in the future people will not say 'I miss your jokes' but will say I enjoyed your playing (Thanks J & L) and I will try my hardest not to let them down in that.
