[Dixielandjazz] Slidin' Selena, trombone , vocals

[Bert Brandsma]

It depends, I still played 3 Crackerjacks gigs last week, 2 on bass sax and one on alto.Only when there are Chris Barber concerts I'm not there.
Chris still plays a 100 times a year, which is great, but it also leaves some possibilities to do other things besides.
cheers to you!
