First Music Gig

Jun 29, 2020 14:38

Yesterday morning as I was waking up one of the questions that the radio show was asking, was about first gigs/concerts. Most of you who know me know that James was my first one, although I had played in numerous orchestral & band concerts ( Read more... )

That is such a lovely picture of your mother.

My mother went to dances at the two nearby RAF bases as a teenager but I don't remember her mentioning any particular band. And definitely not Glenn Miller!

I honestly cannot remember the first gig I went to - how odd is that.

I suppose with Mum so loving Glen Miller, and going to the USA base, there were a lot of reasons to remember.

I only remember my first as it was 2006 ... so not "one of many" ... you were lucky to go to a few!

The first time Tim saw that photo of Mum I remember him commenting that it seem ed wrong, but he "fancied" her!!!!!

That's some first concert! His plane disappeared that year, in December - how fortunate for her that she got to see him.

I remember you mentioning that you play an instrument but don't remember which one.

Oh Glenn Millers music is something special, isn't it?

I play (but am severly out of practice at present) the clarinet, and an alto sax for fun. I did play in a band based on the Glenn Miller line-up for a few years, but was quite a bit down in the ability for some of the pieces!
