I had to contact my learned colleague, the Trumpet player on a matter of confusion, reference Rudolph Hess.
I remember taking part in the Berlin Tattoo many years ago and being billeted in a camp next to Spandau Prison. There resided the notorious Rudolph Hess. I remember being told ,that the prison guards were instructed, never to make direct eye contact with him, or he would report them and they would be in serious doo doo.
I was confused therefore, when the last part of the programme about Concentration Camps, showed Rudolph Hess being hanged. It turned out that it was a Rudolff Hoss (soon to join the cast of Bonanza) who had been stretched and had a very similar name. I have a knowledgeable circle of friends.
How would you like it, if your loved one was placed in a coffin (presuming they were dead?) and taken up a rickety dusty fire escape ,to a church on the second floor. The coffin tipped at an acute angle and 4 blokes struggling to get up the narrow metal stairs?
Dignified?
It would not be so bad if this was an old church, but it is brand new and whatever muppet designed it, should be put in Spandau?
One of the Ministers thought it was highly amusing the first time we used it. I had a go at him and we have never spoken since. It is a happy clappy church, so the folk who frequent it only see the pink blossom covered world as they go into the church in a different entrance.
Can I do anything about it?
Not yet. But it is on the list.
Nice blow last night and again well balanced. A few niggly things from the same department as was commented on by others, but a relaxing night never the less?
