Today I discovered that my maternal grandfather played in a jazz band in the 1920’s and ‘30’s while traveling the world with the British Merchant Navy. He was a multi-instrumentalist who played the saxophone, banjo, clarinet and piano. These are trio of the pieces he played:
Sheet music: Sung, Broadcast and Recorded by the Savoy Bands Lareine’s Edition 6d The Ogo-Pogo The funny foxtrot Words by Cumberland Clark Music by Mark Strong A small green fish goblin creature is wearing Chelsea boots and strumming a banjo on the cover Sheet music: Snakes Hips A Jungle Jazz Words and Music by Spencer Williams Two apes are playing the banjo and saxophone while an elephant trumpets and a python and lion look on

Small apple
A small, ripe end of season apple in sharp focus in the foreground. Slightly out of focus behind it are other apple trees in the orchard. The sky is blue with a few clouds and the grass is green.

Heard from a colleague that a patron just accused my library of using AI to answer phones with a British accent!

I was on phone duty this afternoon ^_^

Not that I have a British accent - it is an English-speaking South African accent

I know hope is dangerous but I am feeling it for Gaza - just a small and fragile hope at the moment but I am nurturing it
