During his breaks as seafood clerk at T&C, Daniel Forman heads to Waterfront Park to practice trombone.

“It’s a nice peaceful view with no distractions, except when there are kids around, but that’s OK too.  Sometimes there’s an echo across the water, long enough to play harmonies with myself if the weather is just right.”

Daniel plays with the Buz Whiteley Big Band and the Peninsula Trombone Choir, and teaches at the Island Music Center in Rolling Bay.
