The Harvard Tuba - the full story is now on YouTube

Post by Dave Detwiler »

Hi all - I've been playing around a lot with iMovie these past few months, and decided to create an audiovisual version of my research on the Harvard Tuba - just to get this fascinating story out to more people. If you're interested, and have 33 minutes to devote to it, here's the link. Enjoy!

Not sure why the youtube link is not showing the thumbnail, but it looks like you can still get to the video just fine.

Well, calling it "the full story" is always a dangerous thing to do, as the work of the historian is never quite finished. Just this past week I stumbled upon a bit more information about P. S. Gilmore's relationship with the Harvard Tuba in the early 1890s.

I've written about that here, if you're interested: https://tubapastor.blogspot.com/2022/07 ... -tuba.html

Enjoy!
