It is so, so satisfying to hear Magdalen Swing Band. People who've been on this journal since Forest School - look at their set list!

"Ah, Emma," I'm sure you're all thinking, "such nostalgia in one so young!" And yet, the reason that it's so satisfying?

They butchered Sing, Sing, Sing. I had that nailed at 17. My god do I miss drumming.

Sing, Sing, Sing is the record that got my grandfather (and thus my mother, and thus, ultimately, me) into jazz. I have his copy. I love that piece.

Hello, Emma.
I was wondering - will you be in Oxford late in June? I'm visiting Magdalen and Worcester (decided against Oriel) on June 27th and 28th, staying at Magdalen on the night of the 26th, no room at Worcester (alas! Do you know any good, inexpensive hostels?). Would you like to perhaps meet up in person after all these years of LJ-ness?
-Tara

Looks like I won't be around then. I didn't know exactly when I was leaving, so I put off answering you, but it looks like I'm disappearing on the 23rd unfortunately. Will let you know if that changes, though.. prod me nearer the time?

As for hostels - there's one down by the station that's something like £14/night.. I'm heading that way at the weekend so I'll try to remember to look for its name for you.

Ha! My Glasgow University Big Band managed to play Sing Sing Sing...they did use a recording of you to rehearse from occationally : D
