In and Out

'Trombone player required must be good sight reader. Position available immediately'


This was an advert I read yesterday in 'The Stage' newspaper.

I have applied, but think I might be a tad to late, as it is dated 1947 and I picked it up at an antiques fair??


I realise now, that the filling they have put in is only temporary and contained some form of antiseptic that numbs the gum. It has worked as the pain has gone from 'Screaming' to 'Tickling'

So Tomorrow, they will drill it out and then drill the one that is causing probs so I have had to cancel my Tuesday night blow as well!


I have really missed playing this weekend, but have caught up on some reading. Having got to the end of the Marylin Monroe book, I have no doubt that the poor girl was murdered and the whole thing was covered up by the FBI and Presidential Security. I am sure that if her body were to be exhumed, the truth would be found out, using modern day forensics.



Many years ago I started a guest vocal evening night, with the Band. Thankfully this has come to a natural end. Although it gave people a chance to fulfill an ambition to sing with a 17 piece Band, it was bloody stressful to front and organise, especially when the singers realised that it was harder than singing in the Bath and lost their words etc. Mind you it did get 'bums' on seats and no other Band had the courage to do it, so we pushed the boundaries there.

I may have to go all the way to Birmingham to do a removal this week. I will probably use my own car which gives you some sort of clue?
