I have a gig with the Columbia Community Band at the Shelter Gardens tonight. Mrs. E is gonna come and bring the dogs, the camera, and maybe a lawn chair.
Cleaned the valve section of the bass trombone night before last. It was pretty funky and I saw some corrosion developing. Gotta get the horn up to Lee Stofer for a chem clean and acid dip to get rid of the funkies (made arrangements in a couple of weeks -- his shop is 5 hours away, so it ain't real handy).
But for right now, the horn operates beautifully. Definitely needed to clean out those valves -- it had been almost a year.
