Ladies and Gents,

What trombone-y blogs/columns you all read?  I keep up with Jay's 
Reflections and some of Matt Guilford's blog.  Any others you recommend?

Second, I'm looking for information/exercises about blowing.  Not 
breathing, exactly, but blowing/exhalation & efficiency.  I know lots of 
good breathing exercises and I do some daily (keep moving, 4in 4out 
gradually longer, expand by holding/sipping, use intercostals not the 
glottis, many other jewels).

Blowing exercises seem somewhat elusive.  I know some concepts from Jan 
Kagarice, and bits from reading about hatha yoga.  Good reading and/or 
practice suggestions wanted.

Despite what some are thinking, I am disinterested in nsfw comments on 
blowing ... :p

Denton
