On Sunday, we rehearsed the Samba band for a kiddies’ concert on Thursday, which annoyingly falls in the middle of the working day. We were accompanying a small band of trumpet, sax, trombone and bass guitar who played jingle bells, rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, and silent night. Only, we assume that’s what they were playing, as you couldn’t hear them over the sound of the Samba do Mendingo Surdo (The “Samba of the Deaf Beggar” - that’s us)
I bet the saxophonist never thought he’d ever be too quiet…
