New Toy

I am very excited, I have just committed to buy myself a birthday present. I should have had this last year when it was a big birthday, but finances at the time just didn't allow.

I am adding to my "stable" of tubas - what is the collective noun for tubas, suggestions please - next week I should be recieving a shinny new CC four rota beasty, I just hope I can get my brain round the fingering.

Smiths Square

I can't believe how long it is since I last posted, well now it is just a few lines as I'm very tiered and just a little "relaxed" my band Croydon Symphonic Band have just played at the St John's Smith Square, a really great venue and my first thoughts are that we didn't do too badly!

Personally I played like a drain!!

I have been working so hard and so long on gardens that I haven't done any practise for months, - and it shows - I will be playing with the Croydon Brass Band at the weekend on BBb bass so I hope that goes well, the music should be less technically challenging so I might get away with it!

By the by BBb totally confused the blogger spellcheck
