Episode 10: Shut up and Play!
“Shut up and play, Dr. Tom”. Alright. Maybe just this once. Treat yourself by watching until the bitter end:-)

I would love to dedicate this rendition of Raymond Premru’s “Two Pieces for Three Trombones” to my former shipmates Jim Armstrong and Jeff Knutson. The three of us performed it in recital at Catholic University many moons ago. The first time I ever played trios was with my teacher Bob Hamrick and Jim Armstrong. We set up in a hallway at my mother’s Alma Mater, Duquesne University. Man…..that must be 20 years ago. The trio books we read from here in Atlanta were given to me as a going away gift (from the Navy Band) by Jeff Knutson. We have made terrific use of them, Jeff! If I’m not mistaken, these books were in Jeff’s possession since his days at Eastman. They were a collection compiled by Mr. Premru.
