[Dixielandjazz] Runaway trombone slide

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

When I was in college we were in a brass class and the school had just 
received new trombones.  The instructor was having us put them together and 
one of the girls let go of the slide and it took off like a shot down the 
three levels of risers in the band room and slid across the floor.  I guess 
it got a trip to the shop after that.
