Ha Ha, and it's trouble you get. Randy Reinhart was a bone man with Jim Cullum as Don Ingle pointed out, and a veritable MONSTER on slide trombone
while there. (6 years or so?)

He is now a cornet player mostly and heavily influenced by Bix.

Trust me, you would not be able to tell he ever touched a trombone from the way he plays cornet. Nor would you think he was a cornetist when he
plays trombone.

Remember what Monk said: "Never say something can't be done musically, because the moment you do, someone will come along and do it." :-) VBG.
