[Trombone-l] OhMyGawd!

[Chris Dearth]

I was playing a late august gig with WVSO and the guy who was subbing  
with us on bass trombone had left Pittsburgh without his dress slacks  
(it was a black pants/white shirt gig).  He realizes this 30 minutes  
BEFORE downbeat.  Our second trombonist (his roommate) was the same  
size waist and had an extra pair of pants.  One problem; the bass  
trombonist is somewhere between 6'2-6'4 and our 2nd trombonist is  
around 5'5!!!!  Can you say, "Hi-water pants?"  I really wish I had a  
camera with me!!!  :-)
