Funny you should say that Bill. I first realised I needed glasses, for
reading, about 12 years ago when I went to help out a band at a marching
job. When I went to play, cornet, with the march card in the lyre the music
was all fuzzy, when I moved the music away so it was in focus I couldn't
reach the mouthpiece!!! But being a Grandad, quick as a flash I removed the
music from the lyre and held it just above the end of the bell all round the
march.

Don't cunfuse Grandad with Methusala!!!

PS. Grandad wanted to know how he could get an A3 sheet in his lyre.
Just take the A3 sheet to a duplicating machine and have it reduced (the
sheet) then buy a pair of those  great jam jar type eyeglasses.
Alteratively, you could staple it to your mates back.
When I was a lad, Grandpappies knew everything!
What happened to you Rod?
