I know I have commented on the blogger spell check before, but on my last post it wanted to change Croydon to crouton!
For any of you who don't know Croydon it is a south eastern suburb of London, however with a population of over 200,000 it qualifies as the UK's tenth largest town. A couple of time Croydon has tried to become a City, but keeps losing out to more high profile towns like Brighton

Too many tubas?
Well on Sunday I was in the worship band at Church ( www.anerleyteamministry.org.uk ) and I had to decide which tuba to use. Now this is the first time that has been a problem since I have always used the EEb, but this time I really wanted to play with my new toy. Well I had a quick toot and had to admit to myself that I was not yet up to standard, and that sight reading would be a problem, so the CC stayed at home and the EEb came down from exile in the attic.
Just as well really since we had the usual with singers wanting to change key, no way could I have transposed into E on sight.
Next week I will be playing three different instruments on Wednesday the Croydon Symphonic Band ( http://csb.watchfresh.com/content.html ) starts rehearsals for the autumn term so I shall have the CC out for that, on Thursday the All Souls Orchestra ( http://www.allsoulsorchestra.org/ ) have a rehearsal for our trip to Llandudno next weekend, when I shall be on Bass Trombone. And then at the weekend I will be playing with the Croydon Brass Band again so Mrs T gets yet another outing.
I just hope that I don't fry my brain in the process of trying to remember which one is which and which fingers to put down.
