Holidays coming

Mon., Dec 3, 7:30 pm. (Here are pix of my adorable grandaughter Maayan and my electrifying Grandson Benjamin at Thanksgiving).
We're doing fine. Energy is returning. I said to Concert Band last week I had "normal" energy for rehearsal etc. Been playing alot. Last Friday went to Dillons and bought a used Bach 50B Bass Trombone. Nice sound. Traded in my Conn. Having fun. Played it (and tuba) in a brass 5 Saturday and a big band today. Tomorrow in the tbone quartet. Fun. Yesterday was rehearsal and performance on bass of Brahms violin concerto and Symphony #2. Difficult to play thru 2x in one day. Sent Chanukah presents to the kiddies today. Took my pre shot shot today. Wed. back to hospital for checkup, Bone Marrow Biopsy, and 4th Vaccination shot in the Clinical study. We're enjoying the cozy house in this cold spell. It's a relief to feel some cold.
Fri. night went with Metsch-Ampels to a play here in town. Dylan knows the actor (see, we got connections all over!!). Next week we're up to see Alan and Elaine and dig the John Faddis big band. Then Sunday to hear Mahler with Bud at MSC. So, we're getting to enjoy the arts around here. Need to hit some galleries in NYC soon. We've been too stuck in Jersey recently. But we'll get into town soon. The guitar playing is coming. Greg and the kids sent me some interesting You Tube videos for inspiration.
Well, enjoy the holiday season. Keep healthy. Sign up please to be a potential donor to someone somewhere. Save a life.
Thanks for your blood, platelets, and prayers. Love you all. JIMBO
