Back from the jam.

 

Old music joke.

Looks like I might be having a cup of coffee with Peter today.

A cup of coffee.

I assume that this is happening in Wellington - as far as I know, Peter hasn't yet passed the Wainuiomata Joke Certificate test.

Sorry that it took so long for me to report on the jam. BTW (by the way) I hope you liked the little 'jam' joke at the start of this post. At the jam there was a drummer / flautist / singer, a bassist, a guy playing bongos, two guitarists, a pianist, a clarinet player, a trumpeter, a saxophonist and me on violin. In my opinion, the general playing standard was not high. For example, I heard the bassist playing out of tune. The drummer and people near him called all the tunes and we guys furthest away (the three horn players - clarinet, sax and trumpet) and I didn't hear a lot of the instructions. Anyway, it was good practice at playing by ear and turning out the melodies like a singer does. People seemed to like my playing. Well, I probably practise a lot more than the rest of them. My recent listening practice certainly paid off!

Well, I'd better get organised. Peter may well want to have coffee in the morning.  I've also got to visit a friend who is in hospital and do my violin practice.

Ciao tutti.

Peter, leave a message with where and what time you'd like to have coffee.
