Hi Richie,
I remember when you played Hymns on keyboard and recorded them onto tape for mine and Jacquie's wedding back in 1995. As the wedding was in Edinburgh Castle we had to use a tape recorder as there was no room in the chapel for an organ. Everybody remarked how well you played those hymns, and i have to agree. ( No offence, but we checked the tape beforehand just in case you accidently recorded the Regimental March instead !!! ) Anyway Richie, i've a few more dit's about you somewhere. ( didn't think you would get away with it did you?  |

During my time with FOSNI band, Richie helped out the percussion section. For one particular concert rehearsal, he placed stands and other percussion items he had finished with, at the side of the stage blocking the Buglers entrance onto it. We didn't find this out of course until we were on the stairs marking time. During the actual concert guess what....Richie did it again. Whilst marking time on the steps, and to our frustrations, we couldn't attract Richie's attention as he was all rapped up in his performance. When we finally attracted his attention, it was crash, bang, wallop as he moved said items in order for us to get onto the stage.
What did W.C Fields say...." never work with children and animals".  |

Richie, Hi.
Welcome to the madhouse.
We've never met or served together (I think).
However, you're a legend in your own lunch hour.
All I know is Ian Quirke once referred to you as "Dick Barton - special agent". Any significance in this ?

| Sgt Ian Davis who last I knew was doing his bandmaster's course described me as a legend in my own lunchtime as well! This past week I've arranged "Thank You for the Music" for Shobna Gulati (Sinita from Coronation Street) to sing with us and I've had a couple of arrangements used in Tattoo and the Albert Hall so things atre looking up! |

Wooly pully??? what wooly pully??? I didn't have one.......some swine teafed it.  Probably left it under that banquette in Gib....you know the one with the loose screws that worked themselves loose that night after a particularly heavy session.  |

Not you Rich, Hornblower.
Aaron was a prolific proffer of ball tops at fleet band, in fact, anywhere

Might do...
What's it worth?
You'll have to trawl deep into the threads to spot a very personal clue he left for me. No one else would get it but me, so I wouldn't bother if I were you. Suffice to say that I took a predeliction to his wooly pully and thought that I had more right to it than he did.
A bigger clue is the Gib banquette - I went to Gib soooo many times and got sooooo pi$$ed that they all merge together.
The mists of time take a lot of clearing, but your memory seems to be totally intact!!

Know what you mean Stu. I did 12 Gib trips with fleet and fof3. remember them well, but all the trips merge into one ( that would be some P.U ?). Couldn't tell you which year or line up was which, but sounds like Aaron Aardvark was lurking there somewhere.
Could do a Gib quiz ? See what he knows ?
Second thoughts, he might know TOO much
