Yes, "Ashokan Farewell" by Jay Ungar. Made famous by Ken Burns' "The Civil War" series featuring fiddle.

I thought an axiomatic was a tuba that played itself (?).

Spokesman: Here's how it works: Catch a tuba, remove the mouthpiece, and drop the tuba - that's the whole tuba - into the Super Bass-o-Matic '76. [ drops the tuba into the blender ] Now, adjust the control dial so that the tuba is blended just the way you like it. [ turns blender on and grinds it to a pulp ] Yes, it's that simple!

[ cut to Tuba-Drinker on another part of the set ]

Tuba-Drinker: [ drinks a glassful of tuba ] Wow, that's terrific tuba!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
