Thanks for starting my Sunday off right—now time to play some Dirty Dozen Brass Band on the box. On my to-do list is to regain my skills as a tuba player. And reading your piece, I remembered that last night I had a dream that involved owning a tuba mouthpiece as a first step to recreating my embrace.
In the same dream, I couldn’t get a sound out of a French horn mouthpiece. And I found a stream replete with spawning steelhead. What does it all mean, Dr. Hall?
Very cool super excited to share this brilliant piece Ted. Made my weekend! My brother played and I was the clarinet. I have heard 76 at once…made me cry those happy tears sir! Cheers to the’bone!
My tuba bucket list is to play in a Banda ensemble, a New Orleans band and something Balkan.

Way cool!
Thank you. Loved reading, and learning so much. Will certainly listen and hear differently going forward.
And thank you for sharing the transcendent joy of playing in a wind ensemble, and dare I say it, a brass ensemble.

No joke, Ted? You played in that wonderful basement, the Vanguard? Do tell more, please.
