There you go Sandy, you carry a tuba, you wear a Sousaphone...the brass ones sound quite nice, the white
fiberglass quite terrible...those appear to be Eb horns...the tuba can be either Eb or a real manly BBb.
I cannot speak to how big a guy can "wear" a Sousaphone Pascal, for in high school we were almost as slim
as you...although we did not wear purple spandex...

How can you tell Bill? My first instrument was a trombone, and I know a wee bit about them, but zero about tubas. I've been toying with the notion of getting another trombone, and Mrs. Two approves. She has NO idea how loud they are lol.

Excellent! Love that low register, like in Chicago (25 or 6 to 4)...make sure you get the one with a trigger for the lower register...now older and wiser and able to afford it all!
Trombones have always been my favorite brass instrument Bill, and I've been a huge Bill Watrous fan since meeting and playing with him at a music camp one summer at UVM when I was a junior in high school. This ones a bit long, but it's 7:45 of sublime to me.
Pascal will like the car too!

Rick Stepton had just graduated from Berklee College in Boston and got hired on in Buddy Rich's band, while I was in high school...he was our local hero!

A trombone.
Ah yes, but went like stink in their time. I love roller skate cars too, especially mid-engined ones.
Edit: Oops, missed the earlier post. They do sort of look alike...

*snicker* I chose to play electric bass because it was "cooler" than tuba and, being lazy, if I picked up bass and not guitar I did not have to learn to read another clef. That said if I had heard Dixieland or come across a gigging polka band while in High School I probably would have decided that tuba was cool enough.

This has been a really fun post. "From Bonnie Raitt to Tubas" is going to be my new "all inclusive" phrase!! LMAO!! :encouragement:
Ray, I'm not sure how you've never heard of Bonnie, but I suppose you're living proof that it can happen!! Take a listen. You won't be sorry.

No tuba for me. Thanks, davisman. Maybe, like Hendrix's "Watchtower," Bonnie's cover is better, but here's the songwriter, somewhat later on into his career, still killing it.
