Tromboning ...

When I was 15, I played live and onstage with a Blues Brothers tribute band.

Bet you didn't know that about me, did you?

That does ring a bell.

But no, we didn't really know that about you.

So whatever happened to your music performance skillz? No longer interested in blowing, Gabriel, blowing?

(Wait, that was probably a French horn sted trombone. As opposed to a paperclip.) (See the French word for paperclip.)

I'm thinking of dunking my head into a tub of iced coffee.

I was technically proficient at tromboning, but I lacked soul. Plus, as I was not a music major in college, I found little motivation to continue my studies in bass horns [I could also muster up some decent euphonium -- AKA baritone -- playing, keys and all].

So ended my Glen Miller days.
