I've never disliked the trombone--I've been fortunate to have played with some great 'boners and have always thought they one of the key elements to second wave Ska's success--but I've also never thought it a cool instrument, per se. Before Trombone Shorty started getting big I had never seen anyone play it and not only look really cool, but actually kind of sexy. Most folks probably pick up the guitar in high school in order to pick up chicks, but here we have a guy who has done the near impossible by mastering one of the most awkward/dorky instruments of all to the extent that he probably pulls in more tail than just about anyone. Check out his performance of "Do To Me" from Monday's episode of Conan.
