Musical Things I've Never Done

1) Learned to read dots
2) Turned pro
3) Stretched a left-handed tenth comfortably (same goes for a right-handed one)
4) Soloed fluently in B natural (has anyone?)
5) Got a note out of any saxophone
6) Finished "After the Love Has Gone" in the same key I started off in.

………And some I have

1) Been on official strike for the Musicians’ Union
2) Played guitar backing Screaming Lord Sutch
3) Played and sung in New York (at John Penhale’s wedding)
4) Done a session at Abbey Road (with Giles, Giles and Fripp. It was never released, partly, I suspect, because I kept forgetting to squeeze the piano-accordion on “One In A Million”, with predictable results.)
5) Played solo piano backing for Matt Monro
6) Largely managed to avoid any form of practice
