Re: Bob Havens - Still Going Strong
He is one of the reasons I wanted to learn to play trombone. My folks were diehard Welk fans and we watched the show together every time it was on. I loved the way Bob played. Good to hear he’s still going strong.

Re: Bob Havens - Still Going Strong
When I was a kid in the 60s, Saturday nights were reserved for watching the show.
My older brother and I would make fun of the silly skits or when they'd try to be hip ("One Toke Over The Line"?).
Mom and Dad would let us goof around, but whenever Bob stood up for a solo, my father would give us that Marine glare and we knew to shut up right away.

His devotion to the trombone together with his extraordinary ability have actually motivated many artists. Also currently his efficiencies contain power plus interest, showcasing his proficiency of the tool. It's impressive to see exactly how he remains to affect the globe of jazz as well as big band songs.

Re: Bob Havens - Still Going Strong
Havens just recently started showing up as a suggestion on my You Tube feed. Very enjoyable player in a trad/swing style, and in one interview piece I saw, seems a decent fellow. Does he have a project right now? I wonder why his stuff is surfacing.

I enjoyed his Dixieland.

Re: Bob Havens - Still Going Strong
Bob Havens, Barney Liddell, Kenny Trimble, Pete Lofthouse and Don Staples are inspirations for my learning.
Aside Little Girl, their Lawrence Welk rendition of East of the Sun (and West of the Moon) 1934 Brooks Bowman/Princeton song is a favorite.
2:04, brush on a can, drummer? nice ker-chunk groove accompanies.
Bob plays with masterful Dixieland vibe and Barney has the trombone singing with the mute to my ears; often think of his playing in practicing.
