To set the scene; Saturday just gone; a group of 10 of us are playing carols in the local Italian restaurant, to raise money for band funds. After a couple of carols, and the very cheesy "Ballerina" paso doble (as requested frequently by the management!), this elderly bloke taps me on the shoulder and says "Could you possibly play a few bars of "The Severn Suite"? Do you know it?".
I was so stunned I stood there llike the proverbial goldfish, mouth wide open, and eventually mumbled some excuse about not having the music.......so then he says "Pity. Beautiful piece of music, you know."
All I could do was nod weakly in reply!
I mean, you get people asking for the Floral Dance and stuff like that, but..........:?:
