It seems to me that we tromboners should have a better reputation, if Paul Newman once played.

June Hymn

I was commissioned last fall to arrange Colin Meloy’s “June Hymn” (performed by The Decemberists on their album The King is Dead) for performance by trombone quartet for a graduating senior’s final recital.  This is a recording of the first performance of the arrangement.

The piece is performed by Eden, Chelsea, Bryan & Mike.

If you like what you hear and are interested in having an arrangement done for your band, orchestra or chamber ensemble, I am available.  Fees are reasonable.

MY FUTURE HOUSE, part III
SECOND FLOOR

The house will be a new build with a classic Gothic/Victorian mansion facade.  It will be situated near a wood, and also on the shores of a Lake.  I am able to be this picky because I will have won $250 million in the lottery.

Above you see the master bedroom, walk-in closet and bath; the boys’ room (both young and old); the children’s bath; the guest bedroom; the music room; the library; the games room.
