Thanks for the tip Andy. I haven't had the chance to play with the kit this weekend. The wife took off for the weekend for my Nephews 18th B'Day, so I stayed home to look after the animals, and I should have spent some time on it yesterday but got distracted with nothing....I'm sure everyone knows how that happens!!

Today was a total wash out for me. I was asked to pick up my old original instrument of choice for a memorial concert.

I used to play this in my younger years, and was a member of a local brass band. My old Bandmaster/Tutor/Mentor had passed away earlier this year, but I was unable to attend to his funeral. When they asked if I was interested in playing in his memorial concert I jumped at the chance.
Talk about jumping in the deep-end! It's been about 8yrs since I last played, and we had 2hrs practice this morning, followed by the 2hr concert after lunch. My top lip is still not talking to me from the punishment I put it through!! My left hand feels numb from holding the trombone, and my back hurts like crazy!

Sucker for punishment I guess!!
And guess what??!! I said I'll come to practice on Tuesday night too!!
