Good thing I have an Eb tuba.
The law hasn't allowed 'gator hunting around here for 50 years. Gators are popping up everywhere in people's back yards. Recently,one took a bite out of a state trooper's front fender. A drunk guy took a shortcut through a bayou to sneak home when a gator took his arm off at the shoulder.
Watch where you step if you come to Alabama.

About a month ago, I had one in my driveway. And I wasn't even playing tuba. Yeah, we got 'em in Florida too. :P

Thanks, Craig, for that enlightening sound clip. One can learn a lot by reading this board everyday. Hey, I've heard a few tuba players that sound like that horny gator, mostly Stanford University football band Sousaphonists. It also is reminiscent of my recent trip to the Northwest-----the sound emanated from a stall in the Seattle airport bathroom.
