Just noticed that yesterday was a milestone in my daily music posts – number 100! Today is also an auspicious day in terms of my Glasgow Schools reminiscing – the 16th is the only one that I have two different concerts to choose from.
In 1975 I was again horn tutor at the “concert band” course (they had changed the name from “military band” that year) – this time in Musselburgh – there was a great pizza restaurant close by😃.
But my choice today goes back further as today marks 50 years since my orchestral debut in Rothesay with the second orchestra. I don’t have the recording of that concert to hand (😉) so I’m afraid you cannot hear my performance – but I can share the next best thing 😂😂
I do remember that – naive as I was – I turned up at the start of the course without the expected cadenza – so something had to be created during the first few days.
Sadly, there are also no photos from then to share either.

No pics from Rothesay, but I do have a couple of pictures taken on the Musselburgh course
