[Trombone-l] Pit Stories

[Walter Barrett]

Peter Pan is still just like you remember it. I played it this past  
Spring. I think it was copied by a drunk monkey while he was having a  
grand-mal seizure.

Still not as bad as some of the Italian Feast band stuff I've had to  
read, but pretty close. (The hand-copied Kalmus parts for the Firebird  
Suite are right up there in my Top 5 Hardest to read list.)
