[Trombone-l] Our Own Ray Horton!

[Ray Horton]

Ahh, shucks, thanks, guys.

I do have to say you get an unrepresentative idea of the work from the 
excerpts in the vid.  It has a bit more substance then you are hearing.  
The longest section you hear (with the camera on the trombones) is from 
the interlude movement "Adams County Yodeling" using the yodels that the 
Swiss Amish in Adams County, Indiana (and only there) still sing, and 
and the last shot (where I have both hands in the air like Manny Ramirez 
after a homer - I told the band I''m going to start ending pieces like 
that after I saw the AL Division Series) is actually the last note of an 
arrangement of "America the Beautiful" I did for the band for the same 
concert.  Still it's cute, and the interview is nicely edited from my 
hemming and hawing.
