Desert

From Glenn Miller to Gustav Holst tonight. I sat on first bone and just about sight read a Concert for a wind band (they don't have instruments tee hee, just eat a lot of beans.)
We played , Copland , Mendelssohn, Williams, but the thing that I was chuffed about is... I heard a piece of music on Classic FM The Jazz Suite by Shostakovitch and in it was a Trombone solo I really fancied having a go at.......well knock me down with a fiver out of Roy's wallet, it was only on the programme. Suddenly it was there and I had to play it, A wing and a prayer (should that be a wig and a prayer) and I got through it. It has been another life experience, but right at the end of an extremely stressful week, and due to get more anxiety filled. Ah the life of a musician..now where is the Stella.
