Acoustic Jass - Platform
				
				Knowing that we were playing for a birthday party at Horsebridge 
				station (sadly axed by Dr Beeching) we thought the event should 
				be recorded and the title of this album is, I think, self explanatory!
				
It turned out to be a fine hot sunny June day with just enough 
				cooling breeze so the selection of tunes is light hearted “Happy 
				Music” representing a small section of our repertoire.

				Ain’t Misbehavin’
