Is that what got you into music? What was your
gateway instrument?

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Trombone was my first instrument actually, and the only reason
I played it was because we had one in the
basement and my parents didn't have to buy one.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
So little Adam was storming around playing the trombone.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
There was and I still have that trombone and I
can still play that trombone.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Did you hurt anybody when you extended it out?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
