Age eighteen, actually. Just a bit of a parallel with C. L. I started
euphonium in 7th grade, played it in high school band in the spring of
that year, took up trombone (mostly on my own) in 9th grade, (some
lessons late in high school). 11th grade in the local youth orchestra,
auditioned for sub with Louisville Orchestra senior year in H.S.
Freshman year at college subbed several times with the LO, earned the BT
chair sophomore year.
And, 37 years later, stuck in the same place. What happened?

>> But, then along comes someone like Lindberg, who only started playing at age seventeen. Two years later, he has an orchestra job. Where does that come from? Did he grow up listening to his brother practice? (That would be Jakob, the world-class lutenist.) So, why didn't Christian go in that direction? Why the trombone?
