Very High Hat - Sawmill, Insurance and a Band of Horns

Very High Hat

We were watching a funeral procession being led into a prison. There was a Crucifer, a person in the religious procession who carries a large cross. The procession was led by a man on a horse that we knew represented the great church. He was dressed in black except for the Miter on his head. The tall, pointed liturgical hat and it had a black cross on the front. However this hat had a really tall top, it continued to rise and rise and rise to the height of about 20 feet. There in its glory was the white top with a black cross on it.



Sawmill, Insurance and a Band of Horns

I was worked in a saw mill but also I was an insurance salesman. I was trying to do a bit of both. That irritated me a bit because of the expectations but continued to do it. I was on the second story or a two-story sawmill. I was helping to keep timber straight on their way through the mill on the large metal rollers that was passing it from one process to another. A bit later in this day we had a rock band playing downstairs in a concert and we could see on the stairs behind the mill that there was several band members of another band waiting there one of them with a trumpet in his hand. About that time they walked down the stairs and on to the platform below to play. Many of us upstairs began moving towards the front of our floor to find a good viewing position. As I was moving myself along I was stirring up sawdust and chips where I walked. Those of us upstairs made so much noise that the band downstairs stopped for a bit asking us to quiet down.

This was a band that had guitars, drums bass and at least five horns. The band lead at that time explained to us that they were a cover band for a long time and felt bad when they heard other bands playing songs they had written themselves so they began to write as well. They then broke out into a song much of which featured horns blowing awesome blending harmonies.
