[Trombone-l] Looking for Dr. Branstein and Bob Smith

[Walter Barrett]

That Bob Smith went to school with me at Manhattan School of Music in  
the mid-70s, and I doubt that he would have worked for NASA nor had an  
advanced degree in physics. He IS a really good trombone player,  
though. He's based on the West Coast these days, from what I hear.
