Ok, bear with me, I have been chopping through this stuff relatively quick because I have a very solid (7 years and still in) base of band instruction. Pipes are new to me, especially my trombone embature! its weird moving my fingers like this, but its like when I learned guitar, the more I do the easier it is. so I worked on a song for about an hour (and my mouth hates me).

this guy:


what I want to know is what do you think of it?
(click the links to hear me playing)
Link 1
Link 2

yes yes I know, I don't play the grace notes. I don't know how to do that yet. well I do, but I can't get the sound I desire. so if the note is repeated I just played it like it was tied. and please forgive my terrible counting, I am no good at tempo, I never was able to keep a beat very well. Also, in my opinion I think the 2nd link is better because it is the one that I did in 1 breath. (yes 1 breath no bag. hey I play bass trombone...)

so what do you think?
