Looking for Tommy Johnson Duets

Many years ago I was introduced to some really nice classical tuba duets that were arranged by Tommy Johnson. I believe most were by Bach and each duet was simply titled Duet No.1...Duet No. 2....etc. I never knew the total number of duets he arranged in that series but my guess would be anywhere from 12 to about 24. Is anyone familiar with these duets or know the name? If you have them, can I purchase a set from you? Any help finding a lead would be greatly appreciated!

I believe you might be referring to the Jim Self "Concert duets for two tubas Vol. 1 & 2".
Here's a link to his website where you can find them for purchase:

Great books that everyone should own!

Maybe you're thinking of the 12 Blume duets (originally for Bassoon) that he arranged for two tubas. Most were transposed down a fourth or fifth. I have a copy, email me.

These are two very solid sets of duets!

I could try scanning one of the duets that I do have . That might help identifying the works. I hope I'm just not violating any publication laws!
