Send us Fan MailOnce again, this podcast manages to leave our guest feeling both uncomfortable and slightly disoriented. Today’s show features the incredible trombonist, educator, and all-around human gem Tony Baker, Professor of Trombone at the University of North Texas. Tony came prepared to talk about his education, experiences, and mentors—what he didn’t expect was a surprise visit from the 1996 Valleyfair Beach Band (of which he was a proud member). Add in a Band Buzzler, a Band Boozler, and the Coach, and you’ve got one unforgettable episode guaranteed to leave you just as uncomfortable and slightly disoriented.Learn More About Tony:https://music.unt.edu/people/tony-baker.htmlhttps://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fab22e730a5be1f90f837cd/t/604f878f301a5c6460259a5d/1615824812196/Tony+Baker+-+An+Artist%27s+Corner.pdfCredits:The Planets by Trouvère: The EarthConductor: Larry H.
