Romancing a lady with a trombone
But it can all go horribly wrong......
 
@emmalee

Yes - I play in five different bands.
None of them have a huge amount of work, so I can usually cover what comes in.

I have to be so careful, using earplugs to reduce the volume, but in such a way that I can hear enough to respond.

I was brought up in the Salvation Army, and played cornet from age 10 to age 17.
I heard some of the greats - Louis Armstrong etc... fell in love with jazz, and have played professionally from age 20 to today.
Taught myself trombone, and switched instruments.
Jazz festivals - jazz clubs - cruise ships - broadcasts etc....

I'm cutting down quite a bit on distances travelled now. Driving over here is so congested and time consuming.
 
@Jazzer

Five bands? Incredible! You have my admiration, Dave. I enjoyed the video you posted a few days ago, you are extremely talented.

What do you mean when you say that you were brought up in the Salvation Army?
 
@Jazzer

Dave, these are amazing photos, thanks for sharing them with me. I envy you, in a good way. It appears that you have had quite an interesting life.

Time for me to wind down for the evening, but before I do.....

Hi @emmalee

Sorry I'm late in responding.
I must have dozed off while you were slurping.
Our normal sleep hours are 2:00am to 8:00am.
Being a jazzer I never want to go to bed until 2am whether I am working or not.
I believe you are about six hours behind us?

Yes, we are six hours behind you. I am an early to bed early to rise person, by 2:00am I have already been asleep for four hours. I rise with the sun every day.
