$400 for one hour of singing and playing trombone for an Episcopal Christmas Eve mass (and surfing the iPhone looking up all kinds of un-Christian things in between songs).
The lesson? Diversify and get paid.
I'm off! Happy Ramahannukwanzmas!

Somehow I'm ok with this. Maybe because the 'bone is my least favorite axe to wield?

You know as I was quietly cutting up with the bass trombonist during the service I realized I'm really the same stereotypical low brass troublemaker I was when I was sitting in high school band.

Even if the priest was the only to pay for it?

6 years of playing the trombone quit paying off after 4 years of marching band for me.
