[Trombone-l] Madison Hummingbirds

[Daryl Burch]

Quite possibly so. They looked to be older gospel players.

And they had 3 or so players take solos. Which made me instantly feel  
how I feel when I see multiple guitar players take solos in a "jam"  
situation.... Unless one of 'em does something drastic to their  
sound, it all mushes together to sound like one person yellin' at the  
top of their lungs. At least one of 'em coulda used a plunger to set  
themselves out.

But I digress: The point here is that there was a shout band on the  
grammys last night that used 10 trombones!!!

Cheers!

As much as I love Bonerama, I think you've got it the wrong way  
around, Daryl.   Bonerama is a "popified" shout band!  I'm really  
happy the shout tradition was presented so well last night!
