Nisky Dixie Cats

Dave Rhodes

Dave learned to play the trombone in West Hartford, Connecticut where he was a member of the award-winning Hall High School Pops and Jazz Band. After graduation, he took a brief hiatus until he heard the call of the 'Cats and took up where he left off (somewhere around fifth position).

Dave has played trombone with the Cats for nine years. By day, he's a Hearing Representative with N. Y. State Insurance Fund. Dave also plays trombone with the Georgie Wonders Big Band and bass and acoustic guitar with the folk group Three Quarters North.

Quote: "The Dixie Cats have been very good for me. I even think some of the color is starting to return to my hair."
