R.I.P The Horn Is Dead!
By Drifter
September 17 2014
It is with regret that my horn died on Saturday during the game v Moseley. The poor thing had sat in the car unloved for several months since it was last used.
Several attempts were made to resuscitate it during the match but to no avail. It later became apparent that the reed had been sitting in a pool of dried spit for months without me noticing.
The autopsy was carried out by me later in the evening, with 2 sets of pliers, a can of WD40 and a ball of wire wool. (For those of you unfamiliar with the signal horn the reed is a metal) After 20 minutes on the operating table it became clear that it would never work again. With tears in my eyes I took it to the bins outside said a quick prayer and threw it in. 2 minutes later I went to the bins because I realised I had thrown it in the ordinary bin and not the recycle bin. After all some other horn in heaven may be able to use some of the parts, rather like an organ/ horn donation.
Now it begs the question, should I try to find Mrs Drifters horn, or has that had the same terminal fate? Well if I could find it I would be able to give it a try. Of course it could be hiding somewhere. Where has she put it? Bet its where all of my spare socks are! Until I come out of several weeks mourning the other hornblowers will have to continue without us. I say us because I felt a close bond that has now ended.
I have again been to the bins, got me horn out, given it a good wash, dried it off and am going to place it on the mantle so I can give it a try out every now and again. Can Horns be reincarnated?
The horn is dead. Long live the horn.

Du skal ikke tro at du er bedre end os!
The horn is our drum and helps the tuneless to be sort of in tune...please a replacement.
Would even make a small donation...and for a Scotsman that is saying something
