[bit.listserv.allmusic] in defense of 'bones

CMK@IRISHVM.BITNET (Christopher Knaus) (02/09/90)

Hey there,
It seems I may be the only trombone defender on this list so here goes:

'bones are waycool
'bones take almost nothing seriously
'bones were considerred obscene and unfit when the "smear" was first introduced
       this pretty much describes the players as well
'bones can make lots of dirty puns with their instrument name
'bones, when we get right down to it, can blast out a tune
'bones were nearly sent back home during the Orange Bowl week
       ( THE WHOLE SECTION )
'bones were thinking of calling the directors bluff
'bones can consume more beer per capita than any other section
'bones aren't saxes
'bones get chicks
'bones, I am.

I rest my case.
               rock'n'roll
                - Soda -

"All I need is a warm day, a cold beer, and a place to put my 'bone."
