Last night the pa system blew up which meant none of the instruments were playing through mic's . Me and the lead bone player looked at each other, because we both realised the band sounded better than ever before and was suddenly very balanced.
Having a chat in the break ,we discussed the old time bands who never had the modern amplification systems. But what about the vocalists??? Well, we can only presume that the Band played as low as possible, so that they and the audience could hear the singist?
I will find out about this from a man who is sure to know.
I have sadly just finished the book about the American Trombonist Felix. It was a fascinating read and this fine musician also dabbled in becoming a comedian as well? He unfortunately had to give up playing because of ill health. He is still alive and well though and writing children's book. What a wonderful human being.
I heard today, that there are 2 types of Widow's.
The Bereaved.
And The Relieved!!!
