    No trombone...I find this hard to believe.  who would want this? 
(chuckle).

    George Buck is more than an interesting man.  He is a true patron of the 
arts.  He has long put out recordings that have not made a dime for him.  He 
feels that they should be put out and that he will do it as long as he has 
some resources to do it.
