the catholics

went out last night to see the catholics
7 piece jazz outfit i quite like
sandy evans is the star
she plays saxaphone
in many other outfits
as does james greening on trombone
he is a star too
lloyd swanton is the boss
on double bass
and there are another 4
on various instruments
they are very, very good
at what they do
which is quite a lot
all sorts of different styles are played
it seems they could play anything
and nail it perfectly
i couldn't help thinking
they do it so well and so....
professionally
they have been doing it for decades now
and they obviously love it
they laugh a lot on stage
but....
something was missing
it may have been the venue
it may have been the crowd
it may have been me
i think it was
coz my mind was wandering
thinking about what i had done
only an hour or so earlier
i started a blog
(and now the blog's on me)
had no intention of doing such a thing
it just happened
why did i do it
i kept thinking as i tried and tried
to get into the catholics
strange behaviour indeed
it's kind of fun so far
and an outlet for my thoughts
on things that i hear, see or do
in that order of importance
to me
it doesn't matter if no-one reads
and even better if no-one comments
that was my conclusion
as the catholics finished their work
i tried to remove the comments feature
but i don't think i can
so i'll just tell people i don't want comments
or at least i'll ignore them (?)
so far so good....
