I was recently reminded of The Saddest Trumpeter (TST), and thought, why not have a little Throwback Thursday?
The Saddest Trumpeter started making appearances near the end of my tenure on Monroe Street. While we mere mortals basked in the sun, TST reminded us of the tragedies of modern life. Is TST a brilliant but bitter musician with a perverse sense of humor? Mourning a lost love or rejected dissertation? Trying to recreate the saxophone sequence from Sesame Street and somehow managing to make it worse? Whatever the story, TST made me laugh, and I hope you will also enjoy this overdue Eugene Update.
Note: the video is horrible, but you get the idea.
