dear Mary Ellen,
My english isn't the best but i have a story for you , i'll try to tell
you..........
a few years ago , i played in the brass band Eglisau ( Switzerland) . we
had
to play on a celebration in the catholic church in Eglisau. There is a re
aly
small church with a very small gallery. on this gallery is the organ and
next by this organ we were sitting ( a whole brass band on maybe 2,5m x
4m!!)
the mass began , we were playing chorals and accompaining the songs. shor
tly
befor we had to play the next piece ( instruments on lips and breathing i
n
for to play), the priest swing his incense kettle....our first trombonist
says :" iiiihhhh , down there anyone smokes pot....!", some began to play
and some couldn't help laughing....we'll try to play but over and over ag
ain
some laughing. ....it sounds very funny !
it wasn't the best music we played.......!
hope you can read my funny english.....
