Name that player...

Hi all,
Name the sousa-player here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlIs6gp ... L&index=31

Sounds like a fun line to play.

The beard and the glasses look like Fletch... not sure if that makes any sense in this context though (location, genre, dates...)... Or maybe John Stevens?

Then he found himself on Broadway, where he paid the bills with 500 performances as a tuba player in the musical “Barnum” . In 1980, the show made it all the way to the Tony Awards at the Mark Hellinger Theater in New York, where Stevens entertained the crowd in the audience with a uniformed march down the aisle, wrapped in a sousaphone. (Click here for the video; advance to 4:50 minutes to see Stevens.) (For the record, “Evita” won “Best Musical” that year; “Barnum” won in several other categories.)

Thanks Tubainsauga!

I'll be driving through 'Sauga on my way to Brampton tomorrow. Busking at the market.
