An extremely long, but enjoyable day today. The Band call took 3 hours followed almost immediately by the dress rehearsal.
I have done some shows where I have been on the edge of my seat with rhythms I had never come across before. But this show is so gentle that I should get through a book in between playing (probably war and peace!)
There is a down side though. We are having to walk through the ladies changing rooms again and a lot of them are getting undressed on the move. The amount of lady allotments i have glanced is unbeleivable tut tut.
Had time to call in at the pub to listen to the big band. Extremely impressed by all I saw and heard. This band is the tops without a shadow of a doubt. I looked at bone section, only to see a 14 year old lad (Grandson of singer) sat in section. Reminded me of when I first started only I was bald then as well.
Mind you I still wanted to play even after a 6 hour blow today?
Into next week and lets see what Pat brings.
