To cut a story short, the man on the drums is Mr. Swiss about 20 years ago. He was not exactly on a stage, but playing in a group in a local restaurant. There was no room for a stage. I attended many such occasions and was used to seeing Mr. Swiss as the drummer. I suppose he was always on the stage for me more than 50 years. It is probably one of the reasons how I came to understand jazz. The drumming days now belong to the past, but the love of the music remains.

They are memories to treasure. Mr. Swiss was one of the founder members of our town’s jazz club.

Always makes me think of an acquaintance who followed her drummer husband (a full time professional) to nearly all his gigs. I wondered if she continued after they had kids but we lost contact …. Music πΆ has a great importance in my life and I also like jazz.

Music has always been import. ant to me. I went to most of my husband’s gigs, but he was not a professional. I got myself Apple ear buds some time ago and that is perfect. I can listen to my own choice of music wherever I go at home when cleaning etc. I like to listen to the varijious british global stations I have on my iPhone. Some jazz, some soft music, and also classic.
