PS – I admire anyone who can play it, and for that matter anything. No music genes passed on to me. I play ‘applause’ and was told players appreciate my ‘talent’.
Thank you, Lennie! I think I’ve told you before that my father played the trombone in the USNA band.. I’m missing him today, but this made me smile. A lot :)
“You push the little valve down…and the music goes ‘round and around, oh ho, and it comes out HERE!” (Or does that song reference a French horn? LOL). -Trombone, trumpet…I’m in awe of how much music one can play with 3 little valves! (Piano player here with 88 keys at her disposal). LOL
Admittedly if someone has no idea about a trombone, they wouldn’t know about the slide… Maybe the parents didn’t tell him to avoid him breaking it? (devil’s advocate here…)
I play bassoon, contra bassoon, tenor and bari saxes. And my girls would rather play strings, viola, cello and after watching a performance of Esperanza Spalding, I think one of them wants to start the bass. Strings!!!! Oh the shame!!!! But at least neither has shown interest in brass. (JOKE)
Trombone is my favorite brass instrument. It sounds so sexy. I play flute, piccolo, a little piano and sing coloratura but I just love the sound of a trombone, especially in Dixieland jazz.

Trombone is a fun instrument, but when I played in school, I was too small to push a lot of air through it!

Some things are hard to learn on your own. We all need teachers. Happy Father’s Day ~~ some of the best teachers.

Not a brass guy (guitar) but I love passing the love of music onto the kids. Awesome work on your part Lennie.

Nice toon. I was going to say, a bagpipe you don’t ‘play’ is just a whoopie cushion.
