Spagetti and meatballs, haven't had them for ages but have left over metballs I made for nibbles on Saturday which didn't even get cooked so will use them up for tea tonight.

How many instruments does your step dad play?

Gert

[Amy :-)]

Only one at a time Gert.
His main instruments are all brass, but he used to be a drummer in a band, and since he owns a music business he knows how to play everything else as well. He was also a conductor for many years. He's very musically gifted.

Very funny

Did he teach you to play the trumpet ?

Gert I love threadfin slamon. After eating it in Broome for 2 years I said I would never eat it again, but it didn't take me long to change my mind.

Dinner tonight is a stir fry. Szechuan chicken.

Gert

 

He taught me the basics. He said I was too talented to be playing the saxophone, so he bought me a trumpet, taught me a few fingerings, and I ended up playing repiano cornet in his band

It must be a pretty big band to accommodate a third cornet.  What type of music does the band play?

[Amy :-)]

It was the brass band of our town Gert. We were A grade players, won lots of competitions. Repaino was the second position after the solo cornet, so I did pretty well to get up there. I started on third and moved up
Our best concert was called "Swing When You're Winning", it was fantastic, we played heaps of old swing, jazz and blues music, and people got up and danced and had a great time We also did a concert of Hymns in a church, and we did a circus themed concert one year as well

[Halex]

Amy would love to have seen your band. How exciting. Love all that type of music.

[gertbysea]

Sounds like a lot of fun with lots of variety. That would keep you out of trouble for sure.

Gert

[Halex]

Freezer food.

Hally, I have a DVD recording of our clown themed concert. I could bring it to the retreat and lend it to you if you wanted to have a look-see

Gert

Lol Gert Variety, yes. Fun, not always. Its an unfortunate story, so I won't go into details, but I don't play in the band anymore and step-dad doesn't conduct. The band has gone down-hill since he stopped going.

Do bring the DVD Amy. I would love to see it. You are one talented young lady.
