Can't handle it!


Spent an hour in the Gym and also went on a bike ride. It's amazing what you can do ,after so little sleep?
Actually, last night was the hottest night of the year.
Everyone was moaning how they could not get to sleep.


For once I felt normal!!!

Did not practice last night.
I figured that after a 4 hour blow over the weekend, that I deserved a night off.

Almost had an accident on a Funeral today, when a handle pulled away from the coffin?
The old saying goes ' That's another nail in my coffin'

Well, it ain't nails anymore, but screws, and someone had not tightened them up correctly.
Of course we all blamed each other, as we all make the coffins up.

It would have been embarrassing though, with the coffin on the floor and just the handles in our hands???

My mate, who is learning Saxophone, asked me how I know where to start in the music and finish.......... Nope, not got a clue.

It was noticeable at the weekend, that the biggest round of applause went to the singers and drummer.
Which just goes to show, that folk comprehend how to warble a tune and hit things? But do not understand the technicalities of Brass and reed!!!

Our section, decided not to use our Audio Shields over the weekend as there was not much space. However it soon became apparent that it was a big mistake, as a couple of the trumpet bells were only inches away from our lug holes and we had to resort to the horrible ear plugs yet again.
I think the Army started to realise the hearing damage limitations and got us to set the Band up as above???

Just received some photo's of a birthday party we played at a couple of weeks ago. A few were taken of me dancing with the lady with huge fun bags?
Thank goodnes I was not looking at them when she snapped away???
