Haha. I was thinking about Mr. T earlier due to an “conversation “ I had earlier with a “co-worker” and I decided to bring Mr. T in to assess WABOOM. 🤣🤷‍♂️😀

Thank you Jack. My tools for todays efforts.

Yeah, weird about the marching band aspect. I guess a field trip to Harlem or Bourbon St were out of the question! :D Good for you though Barrett, trumpet is a great instrument :cool: I'm not sure I could even play the tambourine! 🤣:thumbsup:

Yeah, unfortunately that’s just the way it was (at least where I went to school). If you wanted to be in band, you were required to do marching band during football season, then the rest of the year was concert band. Marching band was fun at first, but after a couple years I was over it.

We also had jazz band, which was a much smaller group for which you had to try out. I probably enjoyed that the most, but you had to be in band to qualify for jazz band, so when I quit I had to give that up, too. At the time I really don’t think I regretted it at all. I was much more interested in playing bass guitar above my friend’s parent’s garage, and I certainly had a lot of fun doing that. But looking back, I do sometimes think I should’ve stuck with it.

Yeah, I don't know if school marching bands are a thing here, they weren't when I was a kid. I spent several years in the Boy's Brigade though, and marching was about the only thing we learned! Boy, could we march?! :D We had more drills than Tool Man! :oops:🤣 I tried learning the bugle, but didn't get very far :rolleyes: :D :thumbsup:

Yeah, bass guitar would have been a cooler instrument for a teenager, than a trumpet I imagine :D I was telling Sara about getting into jazz in my late 20's. It wasn't fashionable here at the time, and I'd go to gigs where I was the youngest member of the audience by 30 years, where you'd bump into the trumpet player in the toilet, gluing his false teeth in, and where bands would diminish in numbers because one or more of them would pass away between gigs. It was kind of depressing! But them's the Blues I guess! :D ;) :thumbsup:

I hope everyone is having a good day :) When I was in Charlie's Cafe yesterday, they were playing some Bill Evans, and I remarked on this. It was rather depressing to hear from Sara, who made my coffee, that the track was listed as "cafe music" :rolleyes: However, this led to her telling me that she had learned to play the trumpet at High School, and how she'd love to take it up again. I told her about Musical Andy's stall, and she was very interested. It was nearly lunchtime by the time I got to the market, and by that time it had turned into quite a pleasant, sunny day here in Leeds. Andy's stall was looking as good as ever, and by coincidence, he had a brand new trumpet for sale, which he said he'd be willing to sell for £50. I rang Charlie's, but with the boss away, nobody is answering the phone :rolleyes: I gave Nobber Al the book he wanted to borrow, had a chat to Golden Gordon, and talked to Captain Birdseye and Big Dave about their respective ailments. A couple of the other traders asked about Tool Man, and I made sure to concoct the most terrible lies about his absence, combining a tale about how he had said he was too soft to stand another Winter in Leeds market, together with succumbing to an old-fashioned disease, of the same type that killed Oscar Wilde, and possibly contracted in the same fashion! :eek: I made them promise to tell him what I had divulged! 🤣 I laughed my way to the Tunisian food stall, and sat down next to a Middle Eastern visitor to Leeds, who was dining with his wife and daughter. As he was paying at the counter, he told me, "It's so nice to see someone from another culture trying our food." He was somewhat taken aback when I spoke to him in Arabic :D I did a bit of shopping, and then headed back home, calling in at Charlie's again on the way. Sara was thrilled with my photos of the trumpet, and found the price very attractive. Unfortunately, she couldn't just leave the cafe to go to the market, but hopefully, Andy will still have the trumpet next week :) :thumbsup:
