For Mother’s Day I thought I’d put a few slides to this recent composition, “Rural Brothers Blues.” Both mom and dad were in favor of all their boys taking up an instrument in band: Lowell-trombone, Phillip-clarinet, Leonard-trumpet, Tim-tuba, and finally Curt-basoon. Individually we each added other instruments to the mix throughout the years: drums, guitars, keyboards, harmonica, and banjo, etc. This song is a representation of all these instruments along with sounds of our rural Indiana town.
