Howard Johnson gave a presentation at the First National Tuba-Euphonium Symposium-Workshop at the University of Illinois in 1975. He also played a few sets at the nearby Thunderbird Restaurant (when Red Lehr wasn't playing.)
Howard sold t-shirts similar to those he sometimes wore on SNL.
Things about Howard:
• He doubles on Baritone Sax.
• He owned (at the time) a BBb and an F tuba, both Mahillon from Belgium.
• Plastic garbage can lids make excellent plunger mutes for tuba!

He also plays a mean penny whistle . During his concert in Cleveland, he got his biggest applause after the song where he played it and he said something like this:LoyalTubist wrote: Things about Howard:

I can't believe I spent all these years carrying around 30 pound instruments and you guys want to hear this thing.

I've played one of those, they are great!
Looks like a baritone sax to me on his website.
