Thanks Ed, I'm glad you took the time to set me straight. 

Now, where did you post the recording of you playing again?

Yep!
Good ol' Charlie can blast with the loudest most crass of them. Gabe, ya like all of his missed and chipped notes.
Naw!
Charlie has no soul. Just loud blastissimo sound and technique. 
Where is the music from this guy?
None!
Bet on it!

Yup!

<< Thirdly, until you can play as well as Charlie, you might think about what can be learned 
from what he says rather than dismissing it as demagoguery. Accurate or no, the way he 
thinks about playing the trombone has gotten him to an absolutely astounding level of 
ability, and dismissing what he says is your own loss. I would argue that NOBODY in the 
world matches his physical skills on the instrument. Not Christian Lindberg, not Joe 
Alesssi, not Bill Watrous or Wycliffe Gordon, fantastic as they all are. Whether or not 
you like what he does musically or how he goes about teaching and playing is an entirely 
separate question in my mind. >>
