You know what they say, “Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em... “. :roll:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

As I have posted in threads of yore:

It is "tuben," if you are German:

Do you know of any compositions that are not German that score for Wagner tuben? If you do, then you can call them Wagner tubas.
