Re: Trombone & trombone players in literature, poetry, tv, cinema...
in The Mikado, Nanki-Poo is disguised as a trombonist.
Some years ago I had the misfortune to captivate Katisha, an elderly lady of my father's Court. She misconstrued my customary affability into expressions of affection, and claimed me in marriage, under my father's law. My father, the Lucius Junius Brutus of his race, ordered me to marry her within a week, or perish ignominiously on the scaffold. That night I fled his Court, and, assuming the disguise of a Second Trombone. I joined the band in which you found me when I had the happiness of seeing you!

Star Trek series & King 2B!!! Who would have thought. This is gold!
There’s footage of actor & director Jonathan Frakes playing trombone on youtube.
Just put together trombone mentions from Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado (thank you AtomicClock):
— I mean to begin with a guinea pig, and work my way through the animal kingdom till I come to a Second Trombone.
— If a man of exalted rank chooses to disguise himself as a Second Trombone, he must take the consequences.
— ...masquerading in this town, disguised as a Second Trombone
this is hilarious!

Also this one (about six minutes in.) I initially thought he was playing a sackbut until he got a little closer.

Share "stuff" with trombones in the media?
Okay. Here's a frame of me playing trombone in a movie (on the far left), a long time ago in a movie called Pufnstuf. That's Mama Cass Elliot in the center.

I actually was. I had the biggest crush on Jack Wild, who was the star of this movie. At the time he had just finished playing the Artful Dodger in "Oliver." hwlentz's post, above, reminded me of that. When I saw "Oliver," I thought Jack Wild was amazing. I was even in love with his name. And when I got the call to be in "Pufnstuf," which starred Jack Wild, I couldn't wait. But the day was a grind, and I couldn't maintain my excitement. LOL!
But in this shot, I was actually looking over at Jack Wild, who was out of frame, instead of paying attention to the "conductor," like I should have been.
