That’s me on the trombone. A few notes out of tune, but basically I can get it fairly correct! If not, I wouldn’t even attempt it. A trick is good as long as it is still musical. Yes, our drummer is very good. Very attentive to what is going on around him. He confessed to us when he joined the band 17 years ago that the first jazz record he heard as a kid was our first LP! He has fit in well, and most important, is a real nice guy. The trumpeter on that gig was sitting in for our regular guy. He’s from Bosnia, but grew up in Canada. The rest of the guys are all Spanish.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ES'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ES'>I like to joke that the drummer has to keep playing his solo until I’m fully dressed again (meaning my shoe & sock are back on).

Not sure how he could control the slide that way, plus, at 77 years of age, I don’t think I want to get down on my back!!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ES'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:ES'>Jim<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
