          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.
