Bruce Long

Band leader / trombonist Bruce Long formed his first orchestra in the fall of 1989. He and wife Truc are residents of Connelly Springs (NC) and enjoy several common past-times including listening to big band music and old radio shows from the 1930s and '40s, amateur radio, and hiking in the mountains of western North Carolina. His trombone is a 1939 model King 2B Silvertone paired with a Giddings mouthpiece that is a virtual copy of the Almont used in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
