 Bob Ringwald replies:

I loved it.  However, while the trombonist played a great solo, IMHO, he got 
a little hokey or corny in a couple of spots.  He went over the line just a 
bit.  Possibly like a modern player making just a little fun of the 
Traditionalist.  But all in all, it is a great performance.
