A Fishy Test Piece
Richard Davies A.K.A. Dickie (ex flugel – Cory) had recently announced on Face book that he was buying a fish tank. There were a few tongue in cheek comments – then I posted a few suggestions for brass band music to keep the fish occupied…
Devil and the deep blue sea,
Oceans,
Galleons Reach,
The Ship Builders,
Un Vie de Matelot, ,
Extreme Hake over,
Dive Descending,
All the flounders of the mountain,
Bass in the Ballroom
…any more suggestions I said?…and then it started. A tidal wave of 100+ posts from all over brass band land. Here are some of the ‘catch’…
