buzz

I just buzzed my mouthpiece tonight, 'cause I didn't have a chance to play until after 11 pm. I feel that I'd be sure to make enemies of the upstairs and downstairs neighbors if I played after 11 pm; no use in that.

I went to Brenda Krauss' fundraiser tonight and it was beautiful to see how many people turned out. The big band played and I talked to Larry Stevens at Intermission and told him that my goal was to play with them in a year. He invited me to read the 4th trombone part while they played so I could get a feel for what it will be like to play the music.
