I was always told to never trust a man who wears bow ties every day...

He seems a great guy - even to someone like Jonathan who plays in the orchestra untutored.

Most definitely, and wearing a bow tie (presumably when not writing limericks)

there's some things I really don't want to think about.

Incidentally it was his children I was baby sitting when the spider appeared (reference to another conversation, possibly in the Why do women... thread).

He is quite fun... I do remember our 'music appreciation' classes that we did as a Dep minority - I always remember all of us winding him up about stringed instruments!

well we had deps 'music appreciation' with the head master - Mr Poulton. I remember he played us that Tallis thing which has 40 parts. none of us had heard it before and he asked us to guess how many parts there were. I got closest with 12! It's amazing how your ear develops as you get older. but sitting in the HMs house listening to yummy music was excellent.

And Mr C was the best, yes! My favourite teacher. He treated me like an adult. (and I'm serious, no rude jokes please, this is a serious thread).
