Pope trombone player? Probably not
Friday, May 9th, 2025I spent the whole day on and off the phone with a couple people on my team. A dev wizard and our new colleague. All of us except the new person made mistakes and there was a lot of starting over on various things. I can’t ‘splain it all and y’all do not want to know.
This was interspersed for a while with texts with the beach urchins and we won’t go there either except to say there were some benign weekend activity discussions.
I’m not Catholic (or even religious) but I guess I can have an opinion about the pope, right? I liked Francis. Leo the 14th seems promising too. I know there are dissenters on this opinion. I support any pope or any religious figure who follows Jesus’s teachings, meaning that they care about all living beings no matter what color or even species they are. My early view on this pope is that he may follow through on that. I’m not sure if my (non-practicing) Catholic husband agrees with me. We don’t agree on everything. We do agree that children need to be loved and nurtured and we need to live by the Golden Rule and within our means.
Is Pope Leo the 14th a jazz trombone player? Some people are speculating that the new pope played jazz trombone in Chicago as Bobby Prev. I dunno and the intertubes including Trombone Chat are inconclusive. I am interested in this because my (late) little brother was a talented jazz trombonist. I can envision him participating in Trombone Chat. But I kinda side with the intertubes that say the new pope did not moonlight as a trombone player in Chicago. But who knows.
P.S. I saw somewhere that the trombone pope pics were probably AI generated.
