[Trombone-l] ...Nothing Major

[Ray Horton]

Did no one else pick up on the fact that Dan, the original poster, gave 
us the link because of the _humor_?  You know, some guy who "didn't know 
much about it" trying to sell a trombone, and the picture shows it is 
missing one inner slide?  Has the group become that humor impaired?
