Merrily On High Jingle Bell Rock Have Yourself A Merry Christmas Santa Baby Sometimes There are only Three "Growing up in Bessemer, Alabama I spent many a cold winters night with my friends playing Christmas carols around the neighborhood and in remote locations on the front lawns of friends and relatives homes. It was great fun. There were usually only three of us. We just couldnt seem to enlist that one extra player. If we were lucky we had three Trombones, but sometime there was a Euphonium, Tenor Sax or Bari Sax substitute. Finding music was difficult. So we wrote arrangements taken from the hymn book and from other sources. This is the inspiration for this caroling book. I wanted to achieve two goals in compiling this set of carols: that there would be plenty of them and that they would be easily playable for most Trombonists - on cold December nights. With the help of my good friend, Steve Sample, I believe we have succeeded." Sonny Ausman
