Nothing but a few links in this Episode ladies and gentlemen. Many thanks to our viewers who have been sending links to trombone-related goodness on the Web. Here are some of my most recent favorites: First is the story of Bernie Clifton, a man from England who uses his trombone to spread good cheer and fun…….can you imagine that?

Check out Bernie’s clip from BBC News:

You make the trombone community proud, Bernie:-)

Next up are a few clips of perhaps the biggest “rock star” of the trombone…..Jack Teagarden. It might be difficult for us to imagine in this day and age, but Mr. Teagarden’s unrivaled musicality and virtuosity made him a star of “pop” culture. Here are some wonderful examples (both of these clips can be viewed Full Screen):

“The Pied Piper of Basin Street”

“The Slip Horn King of Polaroo”

Seems like every note he played had melodious intentions, eh? If you’d like to hear a LOT more of Jack Teagarden, check this out:
