[Trombone-l] Fw: Message from List Owner

[Keith Marr]

I feel I have to defend Bill  to a certain extent (although I'm sure he 
feels it's not necessary). As trombonists we do not live in an apolitical 
bubble. Politics affects us whether we want it to or not, and I do think 
that as long as people don't resort to personal abuse, that some political 
discussion is inevitable. I agree with Mearl though that we should keep it 
to a minimum.

Back to practice now . . .

Cheers!
