John is an amazing guy is he not!!!  I first met up with him earlier this
year - I was lucky enough to also meet Adrian and Martin and Kenton - three
generations of the Drover family :))

I am playing in a concert next week with John over with Constantine Silver
Band at Redruth British Legion (8 Dec).

What John doesn't know about banding isn't worth knowing - I know he still
practises about and hour a day and carries his old cornet around in an old
black holdall.  It shows that blowing can't be bad for you!!!

Cheers

Heidi
