HEY bttmbow !

' GREAT job on "the Ride" on the radio today!

I heard that too. Very nice playing. Did you use that 182 you've been trying to sell?

Thanks, bloke. I didn't know that tuba players listened to opera!!

BTW, our trumpet players used rotaries, which I was pleasantly surprised with, sound-wise; the horns played 8Ds (as per usual), the trombones used their "standard" American horns, and I used my "budget" 6450. (I joked with one of our trumpet players about me playing a BBb Kaiser tuba to match them better, but he said a SERIOUS "No" to me!)

I play the trumpet, too, and would like to try one of those rotaries to see how they play. I've been told that, to play certain notes in tune, the player pushes the water key. Almost as weird as pulling slides...

The opera did sound cool. Good job!

The "symphony" he plays for is The Metropolitan Opera.
