“Slidus Trombonus” Leo Zimmerman 1917

“Slidus Trombonus”
Leo Zimmerman
September 21, 1917 (Columbia A2429 mx 77357)
Slidus Trombonus

Here is a ragtime era novelty song that I think is fun.

The original sheet music for “Slidus Trombonus” included a subtitle “A Trombone Comedy” which will make sense when you listen.  The song was composed by Mayhew Lester Lake.

Leo Zimmerman was, for many years, the first trombonist in John Philip Sousa’s band.
