[Trombone-l] Slide-o-Mix now Reka

[David W. Buckley]

I too am a fan of the new Yamaha stuff. It has a very complicated 
name -"YAMAHA TROMBONE SLIDE OIL". Hope you'all can remember it. Btw, 
you'all is not a common Southern Ontario word but I use it in honour of 
Wayne Dyess.

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night.

Dave Buckley who will have to start prcticing again very soon if he is going 
to be ready for Jan 8 and 9 rehearsals.
