There is certainly much less traffic these days. 'Ah remember when there would be
20 plus posts a day tha' nose!'

Good point - how many 'Old timers' are still reading this list? Maybe we could use
a start date of say 1997 to begin with - how many people are still here that were
active contributors back then?

Now settle down........things really must be bleak if my book of bass trombone
solos is the highlight of discussion on here!! There would only be one stop left
after that and we all know where that would be, don't we BooBoo!!

Book is going OK, slowly but surely. Currently under review with one of the
Examination Boards. The hardest part is getting retailers to stock it. Needs to be
a big seller before they are interested, but how do you get it to be a big seller
if it's not on the shelves? One of those catch 22 thingies.

Yes, Alan and the Danbury Brass band leave US tomorrow I believe, will arrive in
Perth over the weekend. I will be there next week with my kids (West Oz Band
Festival) so will catch up with them all there. Then the following week Danbury
will be up here in the West Ozzie Bush for 5 days. Their World Tour of Australia
and New Zealand includes Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and.........Karratha!!

Nice to hear from you Mark, it's been a while..............2 'Old timers' are alive
and well. How many more lurk out there?
