[Trombone-l] Troll dues

[Barry Green]

I know every recording of me doesn't sound great, we all have times when we 
don't play as
well as we'd like.  There are many factors that enter into this craft.  I'm 
personally tired of all
this negativity.  I've got more important things to do with my time than 
read all this crap.
Peace, out,
Barry Green
