So...
Both W and I are a bit under the weather with cold-like symptoms.
We had an early luch as you know. She has just announced that she doesn't feel well enough to go to the jazz.
Bit of a shame as we have already bought the tickets but I don't want her forcing herself.
So, bit of a wasted day really, no one's fault.
(I can take or leave jazz so that's OK.)
Enjoy the evening folks. :):):)

Faced with a night of Jazz I think I would develop symptoms of illness too.
I once went to an IBM "Sales Club" do for peeps that had made their quota and the entertainment was John Dankworth (Dampsquib) and Cleo Laine. God was I bored.
Another company event I went to had Ray Charles as the "Star" equally boring.
But the absolute worst was a company do that included the whole performance of "Side By Side By Sondheim" at the Mermaid theatre; arranged by our manager as our Xmas treat (we were all climbing the walls with boredom).

Those cannot have been cheap either!!!
TBH I look on Jazz as I do modern art, I don't always "get it", some is OK, some is rubbish.
BUT sometimes the instrumentation (is that a word?) of some artists is absolutely gobsmacking. We went to one once where a girl in her early twenties was playing guitar like nothing I'd ever seen, she was incredible and so NOT up herself.

I once won part of a music competition playing a jazzed up version of "Hello Dolly" (trumpet) got 9/10, highest score of the day, followed up by winning the guitar section with a number I wrote myself. Which was a sort of jazz thing I suppose. I won all of £10 for it (back in 1972!)

The previous year I had played the slow movement of Haydn's trumpet concerto and got nothing.:rolleyes:

So I guess I shouldn't criticise jazz too much. ;)

(I was going to enter the piano section too except that I found out that another kid was going to play the same piece as I had chosen so I didn't bother. He didn't win either! )

But that Sondheim thing, yuk! I'd have been up the wall and down the other side.🤣🤣🤣

W likes musicals, I can't stand them. (She is a trumpetist too.)

Takes all sorts. (I have never played competitively again by the way.);)
 
@DanClarke Ive been looking at them acoustic panels, there are some lovely designs. I was looking for something for the wall
with the fire in it & was thinking of 3d stone or faux wall panels. Trouble is with our solid fuel fire everything gets very dusty so its
anything with an edge is going to need some sort of cleaning, no problem for me I dont cleaning (apart from myself) misses thinks im a caterpillar as I go through so many socks 🤣 🤣

I guess if it is properly full there'll be no oxygen to make the rust, if you see what I mean.

There is a bit of air as the fill hole is about an inch from the side of the drum. If it was completely full with no air the drum would probably split in the winter if it froze. It’s 10-12mm steel so it would take a long time to rust through

Maybe wall hangings, like Arras es. As in Shakespearean times.
All you'd need then would be a decorative fire extiguisher nearby!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not my taste but then who says I have any!!
