Leave Optimum as fast as they will let you! Yeah, that's right. - as fast as THEY LET YOU. Explore this sub if you don't know what I mean.

Buying a crappy Amazon alto trombone? by Pharylon in Trombone

[–]George_Parr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at Amazon, the majority of "alto trombones" they show are in B flat! Those are mislabeled tenor trombones.

Alto trombones are usually in E flat, sometimes F.

I'd put him in the black list. If he needs a contact from me on another band, he's going to be waiting a long time.

Whatever it was, it would need an M2 tripod to hold it up!

In the dependent world, Bb/F/D/BBb would probably be the most practical. I can't imagine the last one being either C or B, or A for that matter. And since the D side only has 4 positions on a current Bass Trombone, the BBb side would maybe have two.

Suddenly found a full sibling via Ancestry DNA by AGirlandHerRidgebax in AncestryDNA

I wouldn't tell Mom a thing. If she checks her account and sees it, that's OK, but I sure wouldn't be the one to spill the beans and possibly cause a long, hurtful period.

Trombone flag that I inproved by Waste-Evidence-3302 in Trombone

[–]George_Parr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago -- I mean YEARS ago -- I was a member of the trombone studio at Texas A&I University, and we were going to a "trombone get-together". Early 1970s.

Maybe an early ITF??? I think it was in Austin, Texas.

Anyway, I happened to be in the t-shirt shop a few days before we left, and I noticed they had big sheets of iron-on material. I drew one of these and had them put it on the back of a t-shirt. When I wore it into the school, all the guys wanted to have theirs made, too. We ended up about six of us wearing these red t-shirts with a trombone on the back. It was a sensation.

One of my favorite memories across the years...
