And that's what it's all about. Music because you love it. Not because you have to...

Fulerzoo,
I liked your post, and share in your joy. At age 71, my practice seesion today was a bit different from yours. My Miraphone 188 and Blazhevich #69 ganged up on me and beat me up. Gasp. Pant.
When things get rough, I think of Bud Herseth for inspiration.
Best wishes for your continued progress.
Ace
I found my chops tonight

It seems to me that this is exactly the place where it is appropriate to share your joy of playing tuba. Sweet, isn't it?

Glad you got it back. I too laid off for 20+ years before picking it up again about 8 years ago. I play in the community band and a brass quintet. In some ways I 'm better than I was. I think I have more finesse and a better tone than I did. However I don’t have the time to dig into the technical studies so my fingers aren’t as fast as they were. In spite of this, when I play, I make me happy. I think that’s important.
