Just for fun, you might want to know that I played lead trombone for The Ringling Brothers Circus during the 1967 - 1972 winter-quarter seasons. Was a session singer (and session trombone player) in Nashville and actually sang on The Grand 'Ol Opry with Porter Wagoner! (When you've been around long enough you've been washed by all waters and licked by all dogs.)
