Thanks for sharing.

During the mid-1970s, I was part of a circle of friends who played with a youth orchestra. We had rehearsals all-day Saturdays, after which we would agree to meet at the home of one of the brass players (he was a little older than the age range of 12-24, but a damn-good trombonist). We would leave the rehearsal, go home and freshen up and head on over to the house.

It was barbeque and beer (with a little Mahler and Strauss--these were, after all, brass players) and SNL to top it off! Spent many a Saturday evening doing this and saw many classic routines.
