Teasy Weasy

Last night I was on my Honeymoon. Now this is something that will never happen in my lifetime, but I was given some interesting facts by a fellow trombone player.

He reckons, that when you blow on a new Mouthpiece/Bone everything is peachy for a few days and then goes down hill fast. Otherwise known as 'The Honeymoon Period'

You see, I was quite pleased the way the new trombone blew last night (even though I had to go round and tell everyone it was new, as no one noticed) All my wrong notes sounded a lot more precise than usual and easier to get. To be serious though, I was quite chuffed, but as my colleague warned, I shouldn't take things for granted as a brick wall is usually hit just after. I can soon get a divorce though.

I don't know if I am getting a little cynical about life, but as I washed a perfectly clean dead bodies hair??? today. I began to wonder why, as they were being cremated. I could really get to grips with this, if the hair had been dirty and matted....but this was really clean????

I am convinced, that some people have not done enough in life for the person who has passed on and are trying to make up for it. If not, I still find it very strange and undignified to put a dead body through that??? Saying all this, the requests are always carried out to the full and with as much care as we can. But if people could stand with the undertaker whilst there loved one's were being dressed/ bouffanted then I am sure they would think twice.
Once again though, I must emphasise, that if it was the deceased last request, then I have absolutely no issue at all with it. If not, then I find it all very strange?

I can't believe my neighbours were knocking on my front door at 2.30am this morning. It's a good job I was up practicing my new Trombone....
