Heck, bruh, I was making a living playing on a 2-valve tuba.
(of course, that's what they issued to me, but as Bob & Doug said, "Ten bucks is ten bucks," right?)
No bones for you, Bloke: you're sounding too woofy.
On further reflection - in case that is a pig, not a dog bouncing around - NO CORN!
I am beginning to wonder though, maybe one of our newer members would like lots of corn. Could it be that the love child of Missouri and DP has come to taunt us?
I know Randy Harrison and respect him as a musician, a person and a friend. Randy has a (rather dated) bio on the Maryland Conservatory of Music website (faculty section).
As far as Dave Zerkel, Randy and I both know him and we both have great respect for him as a musician and as a person.

He bought it from Tom.
I asked him why he choose to buy it there.
Hey explained to me that the other name on the bell would have opened him up to too much teasing (yes, really).
