about all it says is:

PETE LOFTHOUSE trombone player from 1953 to 1965 was born in Toronto, 
Ontario in Canada on January 27, 1919. When he was five, Pete started 
out taking piano lessons until the age of 13 when he received a 
Sears-Roebuck trombone for Christmas...and from that point on, playing 
the trombone would be his career. After receiving his education at both 
Los Angeles Junior College and Pasadena College (intending on being a 
minister), he became a professional musician starting out with the Ben 
Pollack Orchestra which was followed by a sucession of other bands and 
stints with the Mutual Broadcasting System's orchestra and the CBS staff 
orchestra and later Phil Harris' band before joining Lawrence Welk. He 
passed on at the age of 55 on July 15, 1974.
