[Trombone-l] Fw: Finally!

[Gary Maxwell]

Great!!  Now with your 1938 playing the high parts and my 1920 [70H-Fuch's]
playing the low parts, we could have a good duet.

The only catch is, since my stroke, I only play two songs "Happy Birthday" 
and
"Silent Night', so I guess it would be a short concert.
