The beat.

I was worked hard in the first half of a Concert last night. 4 solo's, but one was a favourite called 'The Nearness of You' with a nice bone Soli in the middle, played ably by the other Trombone players. A big crowd as well ,who had obviously come to hear the Drummer play 'Skin Deep' with a cracking solo that would have made Belson proud. Full day at work today with 4 call outs, it's a good job I do some exercise as your heart rate can go from a nice sedate 60bpm up to 160 bpm in a couple of seconds. I was once called out from the Gym to do a removal and I was still wearing my heart monitor. I train at about 140 bpm, but while I did the stretcher carrying downstairs it went up to 185???? Mind you it goes up that far sometimes on some of the solo's if it is sight reading, or if I have to buy a round.
