I have seen something today that has really disturbed me. I am not easily shocked and I can't even tell you what it is, as i would get into so much trouble. All I can say is, it is so so wrong and the authorities concerned should be ashamed of themselves. I could do something about it but I might lose my job if it was found out. I have to hasten that it is nothing to do with our company and those that know, feel the same. My heart says 'do something' and yet my instinct says it could open a very big can of worms. I need to sleep on it.
Feel lousy today and had a bad tum most of the night so I don't know if the above is on my mind?
The Trombones are now seriously looking into purchasing perspex shields to protect our hearing from the instruments behind. For me it is a tad too late what with the 38 strong Army Band and numerous years in the Big Band world. I have had Tinnitus for many years and the constant whistling in the ears has been entertaining me for many a night in bed. Hazards of the job I am afraid. I once had a reply from Don Lusher reference a letter I had published. I wanted to know why the loudest instruments were put behind other musicians instead of at the front? Although I did not get an answer to the question, he told me to just ignore it and concentrate on the playing? Poor old Don is dead now, but I do not know if he went with his hearing intact!!!
