According to Wikipedia, he doubled up the bass line to Hold on I'm Coming on tuba...

I didn't notice...

While I've givin up smoking, most of my interests include things one can do while smoking and drinking beer.

Softball, bowling, tuba, sailing...

That was some era!!

Thanks for the photos. I have always loved Booker T. There was a real energy in Memphis in those years. I had not known of BT's tuba history but in retrospect, it is consistent with traditional instrumentation.

Stock verbiage. Page history is online - nothing to see here. For a popular musician, the guy had a phenomenally stable personal life. The article doesn't say anything about tuba, but he did play baritone saxophone, which might scandalize some of you guys but what can I say, he was a cool dude. And the MGs included some other pretty great musicians.
