Jeremy, you are correct about my height, but as the years go by my waist is
also fast approaching this measurement!!!!

Yes, apart from Webbo they warble.  In fact most of his soloists in most of
his previous bands have a very quick warble vib (remember Swinton - warbles
galore).  Not to everyones liking.

Also, anybody having a go at sop players is obviously jealous of someone who
plays the best & hardest instrument in the band.
