I do have Windows Media Player, but Acid Planet does not seem to recognize it and refuses to download a new version.
I wish you'd put the files up on Box.Net so the rest of us peons could hear them.

DAMN! I could listen to your low range all day, man! A fat and satisfying sound...
Seriously, what horn are you playing here?

Thank you for the wonderful excerpts and links, Bloke. I wish I'd had those available in the late 50s and 60s when I was starting out on tuba in grade school and high school.
I loved the files of the New Orleans Jazz Ramblers (linked to in your sig). You could write a book on playing Dixieland!

The boy can play and he did all that with one lip tied behind his back.

Yeah, a condutor gave Bloke the hand once.
He gave it back two weeks later.

Global warming is not caused by the ozone deteriorating, it's caused by bloke turning the air down.
San Fransisco's numerous earthquakes are casued by bloke practicing with a mute.
Wagner originally titled "Die Walküre" as "Die Bloke", but he thought that was too manly.
and
Bloke invented the Miraphone TU-23.
Oh yeah, and my upper torso pretty much imploded from your playing.
That's a good thing!

In his spare time, Bloke goes killing. Hunting infers failure, the only word that Bloke didn't invent.

Wow,that is a really nice performance of the Schumann. So many times, tuba players really "muscle" the Allegro, you have a great touch on it. Debussy was interesting, while never a fan of this work on Flute, I must admit it is compelling on the tuba. Wonderful playing.

Thanks very much Chuck. The way I hear this piece, it might as well have been named Excitation Préliminaire et Idylle Sexuel.
Indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
