Yes Bill us old 'uns rehearsing can have a deterrent effect.  In my
case...its with neighbours I think, as some have moved since I took up
playing my
"bazooka" flugel horn.   Except for a stray cat !!  Who must be of a very
discerning musical disposition...for she LIKES brass band music and for over
12 months has been coming round on Tuesday afternoons to hear Fred and I
practice, sitting on the best easy chair and listening intently.   She has
now moved in permanently.   You may wonder how a poor old soul came to be
watching TV at 6.30 a.m....a very good programme about the old Cyfarthfa
band from Wales.  I have the cat to thank for this.  At  about 6 a.m. as I
slept soundly dreaming I was playing flugel with Black Dyke the flaming cat
leapt on
my chest and tapped me on the nose.  Swearing profusely I chased her
downstairs and she lead me into the living room and sat staring at the
silent T.V.
So I switched it on and lo and behold there was this band, and I managed to
tape most of the prog.
If only the damn cat could play...we could have a trio !   Keep on
"bazookering".   Cheers.   Dave.
