Concert trombonist David Roode had months of gigs canceled as the coronavirus rolled over the country. All he can do now is tap into his savings — and wait for performers to be in demand again.

David Roode and his wife, a concert pianist, have done some recording while on lockdown in Cincinnati. And they've tapped into savings they typically rely on during the slower summer months.David Roode and his wife, a concert pianist, have done some recording while on lockdown in Cincinnati. And they've tapped into savings they typically rely on during the slower summer months."You can't really have a concert if you can't have an audience," David Roode muses.

"I really think when this is all over, people are going to want to go hear concerts and they're going to want to have that experience."

Hopefully he’ll be able to channel this experience into his music when this virus thing is behind us. He may end up creating a tromboney type of blues. Silver linings people.

I feel so badly for all musicians. I had 4 concerts cancelled. So far. I also miss going to see live music. I hope we get this under control soon. I miss performing

People would be willing to pay for avitual performance. While it’s not the same as being live and in person...the fans would support and enjoy the show from home!

Then let's get back to work—and get ALL of our Constitutional liberties and protections restored as well!

This former trombonist offers Mr. Roode deepest sympathy. No mkt for giving private lessons while so many stuck home? Likely not, with how much spit is produced while playing. That's why brass instruments have SpitValves that leave slimy puddles on floor when used. 🦠😨🤢😱☣️

Oh no...how will the concert trombonist survive? Thank you for highlighting this instead of asking why corporations have been placed above people by our government. NPRisTrash

This is actually about being in a ska band in general, and has nothing to do with the Coronavirus.

He’ll be playing the rusty trombone by the time this is over.

The zeitgeist reports that NPR is out of touch. NPR reports on the plight of a concert trombonist? I don't know what to say. I could not care less.

I’m lucky my trombone students all switched to FaceTime, but I sure miss the gigs.

It’s tromboner

Good for him for having a savings... many dont have that luxury.
