Here's the gag I promised the other day ... That's "us" (the street band I play with) doing a first attempt at a public gig after a long hiatus that was mostly due to the pandemic (and many of us "handling" things differently, too). It sure was fun ... i.e. the gig was, not the break Oh, well ...

N.B. Even though it's extremely unlikely, I'd really appreciate you *not* sharing this any further - I'm not sure about any copyrights I might inadvertedly violate ...

Et ceterum censeo: No pasarán.

Freaking brilliant! I love it, Matt. The whole thing (including the inventive and mobile cinematography).
Your band ROCKS. And I don't believe the pandemic layoff has slowed you down at all.
Just one minor suggestion: it would be fun to see the Sousaphone player (is that the correct name for it? for that immense tuba-style instrument in the rear, with the name 'Brazzini' partially covering the bell of his axe?) take a brief solo

Thanks a bunch, Miguel, that means a lot to me. Dani (Daniel, the sousaphone player; yes, it's one of those) has started soloing on some pieces already - and he's pretty good at it, much better than he himself thinks he is. So, I'll suggest him taking a solo on "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" one of these days. That said, he's joking about having to do too much work already (he's starting off many pieces - of course!); don't know what he'll say ...

In spite of the impression, we were all a bit rusty - not all soloing and set play went smoothly (I have other examples we definitely need to get our act together on - certainly me!). Not a big deal, as it was fun and an important experience - but we can of course do better, and we will.

The lifelike (and life-size) wooden sculpture of a lizard - a present from a biologist friend - has come outside to catch the morning sunshine.
