Did anyone ever find an arrangement of this? I played it back in college and would like to get a copy.

LOL! Okay, my ears are bleeding -- what a way to wake up. That seems to settle the old "rotors vs. pissed-ins" question, doesn't it? Don't remember if they tackled "liquor vs. silver" ... :wink:

Mark Freeh did finish his arrangement of this piece for tuba soloist and brass band. I'm sure he can format it in other accompaniment as well. It was a fun piece, very well played by the soloist at a few concerts this past season. To contact Mark, go to his website.

Hope this helped! Enjoy.

To add to my previous post (July 19, 2007): I believe Lon Norman (staff arranger for the Army Field Band) did this arrangement without securing permission from the copyright owner of the original song (which would not necessarily be out of the ordinary during that time period). The arrangement by Lon Norman was never intended to be published and made available to other tuba players. Therefore.... photocopies of photocopies continue to be passed around "informally," especially in military band circles. I think it might be possible for the arrangement to be published IF.... permission could be obtained from the copyright owner of the original song.... AND... if those who might lay claim to the Lon Norman arrangement came "on board" with the project. I believe the copyright date of the original song is 1933. Once it passes into public domain... it would be easy for the arrangement under discussion to be published and made available.... since it was never copyrighted.
