Transcript of conversation from a class on Thursday
(Having just finished reading Trombone Shorty)
Me: Now, this picture of Trombone Shorty and Bo Diddly is in black and white, so it might look like this story took place a long time ago, but it didn't! Trombone Shorty is actually a young
man.
Student A: He's still alive?
Me: Oh, definitely! He is still alive. He is only 30 years old. Just a few years ago he played at the White House for President Obama.
(turned the page)
Me: Here is what he looks like today.
Student B: (gasps) He...he looks like me!
Me: You think he does?
Student B: Yeah! He's brown and I'm brown! (points to his own arm)
Me: You are right! And you know what, Trombone Shorty travels all over the world playing his music.
Student B: Yeah! (continues smiling)
