When I teach a band class, I frequently use foreign terms like “allegro” or “vivace”. But Cy’s post made me remember I use French, too.

Say, toot!

I am on tour with the fabulous Southern Wesleyan University jazz Ensemble. Tonight we played for almost 50 people at a little church in Birmingham. They thought we were great.

They had a pot luck dinner. That was GREAT!

Tomorrow we play at 2 Chirstian schools in Birmingham,a nd then drive to macon for the evening before heading on to St.Petersburg on Tuesday where will base our operations for 6 more performances before Thursday.

On Friday, we have SC All-State Band. Wesley will play in his second.

I never made All-State.

Wesley’s Jazz Band received a Superior rating at the SC State Jazz Festival. Great job, bud.

My car is now in the shop. The air coditioning went out. Not a big deal, I don’t ever use it….but….
There is only one belt in the the motor.
It goes around the pully on …the…air conditioner.

Regardless of the fact I don’t use the air conditioner, the car needs the pully….

The pully only comes on….

an air conditioner….

I am looking for a second opinion. Until then, we will cram into a little 5 seat Honda..and leave someone home.

Ta ta from Birmingham, home of the….uh….(what is here?))))
