Trombone anyone?????
I became fascinated with the trombone as soon as I saw my first band concert. How do they find the notes? There are no keys. I got to hold my first trombone at age 3 and I finally started playing trombone around 6th grade when my cousin Ronnie finally got out of high school and I got to use his OLDS trombone. It was quite a change after playing clarinet and saxophone "all my life", and I'm still wondering how to find the notes.......
I've come a little ways since
then. Above is me playing at the House of Blues on Sunset
Blvd. in Los Angeles. It's always a fun gig.
Below
are a couple photos of my cat Kaley helping me practice, me playing
at Disneyland with the Pomona Concert Band (an annual event)
and me playing at the no
longer in existence Crystal Cathedral (on national tv).
