[Trombone-l] Jo-Ral Cup Mute

[Wes Funderburk]

I'd like to thank the poor, unlucky soul who lost his/her Jo-Ral cup mute on an airplane in the last number of months.  My father and his best friend took a road trip to Scottsdale, Alabama...home of the unlcaimed and lost airline baggage:

It was there he found this slightly used trombone relic for a mere $10.  I cannot promise you that I will return it to it's owner, for it was unclaimed,unwanted, and uncared for.  I've given it a nice home with a dog and a cat...and a mute bag.  

Also, I'll be giving a jazz-trombone masterclass at Columbus State University, Columbus, Ga, this Friday (9/08/06) if anybody in 'bone land is interested.  The trombone studio is run by Brad Palmer, a crazy-good trombonist/pedagogue and all around great guy.  The masterclass will be from 11:30-12:30ish at the Schwob School of Music.  I promise to talk a lot about Albert Mangelsdorff.
