Tragically and sadly funny!

Reminds me of the April Fool's Day that I put a post that the York Factory reopened and was making horns again. A few people believed it.

I won the principle tuba spot with the Bill Miller orchestra....great pay(which is all you can eat beef)

At the last Seattle Symphony Brass Masterclass (which Tony missed - probably at a secret audition), Chris was talking to the audience with his tuba standing on the bell behind him. Suddenly, there was a ding as his first-valve slide fell out all on its own. A member of the audience was so frustrated by the interuption that he kicked the tuba into the audience with such force that three people were killed. Somehow, in the ensuing mayhem, Benroya Hall caught fire and burned to the ground. Fortunately all the tuba players made it out alive. The trumpeters were not so lucky and no one bothered to check for the trombonists or hornists.
