            Speaking of trombones, the new renters across the street from me are professional trombone players - like MSO and stuff. They have the grace to do their practicing during the day fortunately.

              Reminds me of an old joke.

              What is the definition of a ‘gentleman’?

              Someone who can play the accordion, but doesn’t.

                My mate who played the accordion had this picture on his case.

                You would enjoy The Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce I think. One definition that has stuck with me - Pianoforte: a parlour instrument of torture. It is operated by depressing the keys of the machine and the spirits of the audience.

                    Check out ‘clarinet’ while you’re there … I get the impression that Mr Bierce was not fond of music.

      Question, is your username batarians because of the video game Mass Effect, or is it just coincidence?
