On a 1976 record, she's listed as "Kell Drag", which, given the satirical names the rest of the musicians used, I doubt is her real name.

:tuba:
Principal tuba, Bel Air Community Band
Old (early 1900s?) Alexander BBb proto-163
1976 Sonora (B&S 101) 4-rotor BBb
1964 Conn 20J/21J BBb (one body, both bells)
1970s Marzan Slant-rotor BBb
~1904 York 3P BBb Helicon
Old Alex Comp.F, in shop

I watched the youtube link and was fascinated so I wrote to the group's leader, composer Miriam Cutler, and she just now responded. Here's what she said:
Hi Pete - the band was The New Miss Alice Stone Ladies Society Orchestra (Alice Stone for short). We performed between 1973-1980. The tuba player was Liebe Grey. She loved all things tuba, and so did I!
Pete :)
