Single handed jazz

The importance of a one-handed saxophone - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/disability-36168077

Well there is a one armed drummer...but as far as i know ..no one armed trombone players...although a foot could be used....i suppose? Going to try tonight....if i don't return then i put my back out ..

Animal house

No work this week, but most of days taken up with organising deps for some up coming gigs. At one point last night i was working a mobile a PC and a laptop.. Trying to contact musicians and put programme together. Cape Canaveral would have been quieter. My house is quite cosy. Angel running round my sofa. Two socks popping in to say hello and scrounge food. I am now considering adopting another stray cat from out of the area...if you cant beat em..join em. Took a photo of my room. Yes my curtains on fire...but so much cheaper than gas...coffee?

True hero

As history in Everest has shown..not many people would have done this . Often the word 'hero' is misused. In this case he was a super  hero

How

Mother: 'He's dragging my son, I can't watch this' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36431634

Ok ..how...how did the mother lose concentration long enough for a small boy to climb a wall. Texting...Facebook. We will never know what happened if the poor Gorilla was not shot...if I was holding the rifle...would I have taken that gamble...yes...yes I would ...

Losing my Religion

Well , using a new phone app, I can now monitor how much quality sleep i get at night....so if you folks think you have had a bad night...i have averaged about 15 mins rem sleep for last two decades???

Brexit Breakfast

Human beings in this country are getting more selfish by the day. It would seem that most people want to stay in Europe because of a couple of things. Owning holiday homes abroad... And roving mobile charges !!! Wtf!!!...There are more rich pensioners than poor. Its ironic some lived through two world wars. Its a travesity that those who vote in ,will stand for a minutes silence in November and say. 'We will remember them'
On a lighter note. I just heard from a mate who has applied for a job at a bowling alley. Ten pin, I asked. No full time he replied... Sorry

Free coffee for life

Why can't I keep my mouth shut. My old mate Ted Webster did me a massive favour...so rashly I promised him free coffee for life. He has another good 40 years in him...oh god. Had a wonderful day in Matlock Bath yesterday. A sea side resort not by the sea. Went on the 2p tipping point machine. A little plastic racing car was hanging precariously on the edge. The challenge was set. I won the little car. It only cost me £12...bargain. Coffee.
