Don't like the right-click stopped, but it didn't stop me (good ol'
Firefox). It was interesting to read your views on Alison Balsom
though (I followed the link a blog - I presume it was yours!). She
is a cracking performer. I think her brass band background comes
out in her trumpet playing. She plays it like a cornet (speaking
from a position of some knowledge as a cornet player of many
years) with a more mellow tone than many orchestral trumpet
players, in my humble opinion.
(right click).
You get some weird people out there who do strange things to web
pages. I'm trying to help myself out a bit whilst I'm still writing
pages.

Yes. There's just something about her technique that reminds me of
Ron. I used to live the the Ronnie Scotts jazz club at Frith Street
and once in a while I would go home to my place at Bayswater. If you
had ever seen him play driving jazz at 2 in the morning you wouldn't
ever forget. That was in the days before any electronic instrument.
I thing the glissando vibe had just come along. Electric piano music
was just about making it's way into the jazz scene.
I was listening to her Trumpet and Organ album this morning.
Great stuff to listen to. There are plenty of people out there who can
play the instrument well. Just that she's really got something about
her when she starts to play.
Right, back to hacking some more pages now...
