We in the little ‘viola nook’ behind stage left at our hall have a running joke about one of our frequent trombone subs, Henry Henniger, who looks a lot like our bass trombonist, Charles Reneau, known as ‘Charley’. It took some of us a long time to get Henry’s name right, so we just called him ‘Not Charley’ for a while, and it almost stuck (some would say it has). Not long after this occurred, we realized that violist Brian Quincey fit right into the trombone section made up by Charley and Henry. Take a look at this photo and see if you don’t agree!
Henry, Brian & Charley
It took Brian a few moments of instruction for him to learn to hold the trombone correctly, as seen below:
