The thing is, and I can see the point that's trying to be made, some peop=
le
just don't like anything NOT related to brass banding to be seen on here,=

which usually includes funny stories... But this is one is about a brass
band, or at least a brass player.

IMHO, the best thing to spread is a smile, and I think humour, brass band=

related or not, is fine. Let's not start another argument over this,
please....


Of course, not being one to send a pointless mail, I do have something
sensible to write here:
Who's going to the contest at Tameside (Ashton-Under-Lyne) this Sunday?

Maybe see you in the bar for a drink!
