Even though this says Sat it is 1.22am on Sunday morning (USA hosted)
A very good gig tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed the blow.
In the Band we have a chap who is very accident prone. The accidents actually never involve his own personal injury, but others around him. He is notorious for knocking drinks over and more famously banging into the Trumpet stands and mic's?
Seems as though it was my turn tonight.
I put up with him nearly removing my glasses and poking my eye out as he took his heavy USA uniform off. I even smiled when he banged his elbow into my pint glass as I was taking a sip. Almost knocking my front teeth out. But the icing on the cake was when he sat on my Uniform Hat!
I have had that hat for 14 years and his big hairy derriere plonked its sweaty cheeks on top of it.
Frankly it will never be the same again!!
Foolishly I am taking a new solo to the Band on Sunday which is a tad challenging. But maybe I am trying to motivate myself a bit more out of the doldrums....or I have a death wish?
A chap came up tonight and asked why we were called the Ockbrook Big Band?? Turns out he has been visiting the Royal Oak for many years and had never heard of us. This is despite the fact that the Landlord(and lady) have big chalk board up ,advertising us every week.
Just proves my point that some folk live in a 'bubble' and only see a few inches in front of their own lives. Gosh sometimes I wish I could have been like that. Instead my radar is scanning yards ahead and never stops. Thanks HMF!
