Mum’s going to be real pleased I used it to wrap around a bleeding kangaroo, you know?” What is the in arguing with her. She will try to pick it up by herself and get kicked. Then we might be heading to the hospital instead of the vet clinic. He returned with the blanket. Carefully he covered the head so the animal would not be able to see what was happening.

She said, ’sure that’s what we’re here for’.” “Great! Let’s go.” He started the engine. “You never answered my question.” He glanced over at her as he swung the car back onto the road. She was staring at him. Reminding him of Franchette…

When working on Chamber Music, much of the melody jumps around from instrument to instrument, show casing various solos and much of the instruments having to coincide with each other…
This part of the program was the most anticipated because the audience started to get more excited, especially when the first piece started. The second half of the concert was a little different in the way it was set up. For example, it did not start off with a slow intro; it went straight into the piece.

approach to Louis Armstrong’s small band performance in Australia is organized by song. In each of these song sections, I describe what is generally going on. Intermixed amongst my musical review, I also interject my personal feelings and perceptions to what is occurring. I have organized my structure this way in order to provide a methodical structure to my analysis.

However, the man playing the instrument then quickly picks up his pace and the notes being played get higher and higher. This builds up anticipation that something exciting is about to happen. Then suddenly, Duke starts playing the piano and the whole composition…
