Nana's Intercostal Chorus

Nana’s Intercostal Chorus is a composition now featuring the triode trumpet, an invention of our newest member Charlotte Dundas. Of course, it is an electronic instrument based on transmitters, receivers and vacuum tubes, but it appears aurally to retain acoustic qualities.

This version is simply instrumental. Van Credenza used to play this as a vocal song in concert, but, sadly, it appears the singer of this tune is no longer with us. He also wrote the words, thus it is now a mystery what the song and title is all about.

But the band have decided to keep this number alive, unlike poor Hilton Coldstream, as it was one of his favourite pieces. Incidentally, another, undetermined ‘piece’ of our departed friend appears to have arrived yesterday.

Regard this as another tribute to Mr Coldstream. The accompanying video would have found favour with Hilton.
