[Dixielandjazz] More on trombones - sort of!

[Don Ingle]

In all this barrage of pro vrs.anti trombone  topics, it is refreshing 
to see that , for once, no one was ganging up and badmouthng that  
instrument of angelic sound, the valve trombone. For that I am grateful. 
Can't gliss you say? I can but prefer to save it  for when notes fail.
Yours truly,
Don Ingle

Cornets is good, too.
