EJ is a proud member of The Fooles Troupe Band.... or would be if he could find us.....

"which allows me plenty of playing space. "

My father's father used to play in brass bands - a bit uncomfortable, I suppose, but then you get used to it, and he did live thru The Depression, so that activity cheered him up - the playing, not the wearing. He started by blowing his own trumpet, but then borrowed someone else's great big heavy low note farty sounding thing - they never asked for it back.

He found it was great for getting a seat on the trams - you just dropped it on someone's toe, and when they stood up, you quickly said "Thanks!" and slid into the seat.
