back to old school...

or i might say i've been converted.
i grew up with an unappreciation of the thrift store. over the last two days, i've purchased a nice, old school casio to be used on future projects for $25, and a different smaller casio for a dollar and a half. but the greatest takes me back to my old school, where i once was a decent trombone player. today i found, in pretty good condition (just a couple of small, minor dents) a trombone, with a case, for $14.80.
after i bought it, i spent the next 30 minutes, while james and shara shopped for warmer clothes, playing in the parking lot. a high school kid asked me why, i returned with why not, told him the story, he offered me $50, i said no, he walked away, i kept running long tones and arpeggios. i'm once again a trombone player.
word.
