[Trombone-l] Slide stuff

[Wayne Dyess]

Oh great.  Now my name is dragged into this.  Thanks a lot, Scott.

Scott is right though.  That chicken fat is something.  I got mine  
from Adrian, and it's lasted lo these many years.
Scott must be doing something wrong if his is only lasting a week and  
a half.  Geez, Louise, Scott.  Get with the program.

When Adrian's chicken wears out, I'm gonna ask him to send me a  
turkey.  I'll share it with you, if you're nice.

But I ain't holdin' my breath waitin' on that idea.

Grump.
