[Trombone-l] Too much bass trombone...

[Dennis Clason]

A couple of years ago I was playing in the orchestra for the Verdi 
Requiem.  The acoustics were a little tough, and the four of us in the 
low brass were pretty careful whenever the choir was singing at the 
performance.  The conductor came back after the performance and thanked 
us for being so 'sensitive'

I felt mixed pride and shame atthe time. But I did tone it down for the concert, which soundedpretty darn good, and I am still proud of the recording. George
