Bill,
The moral of >this, is that if you don`t wash your face you`ll become a

P.S. I`ve just had a blow with the tutors` wind ensemble at the start of
Surrey`s new term. Not a bad sound, some good sight reading, and solos also.
Might just try to gather them together more frequently. There`s some good
repertoire for "one per part" ensembles, from the octets onwards.
