"Old TubeNet" Favorite Question

At this very moment there is no music on my stand. It is holding my black vest and pouch that I use for the Renaissance Festival. When I got home this evening I was too tired to mess with hangers, and if I throw it on the floor, it gets cat hair all over them. My shirt and pants are on the floor because I am taking them to the cleaners tomorrow anyways.

Usually, the stand stays clear. I do most of my practicing out and about, so the music I'm working on is in my gig bag pocket or in my teaching bag. If I do practice at home, I'm in the habit of putting it back into my bag so I won't forget it later.

Roger Jones 21 Duets. I work through the upper parts on F and the lower parts on BBb.

Gregson Concerto. More lip-bleeding practice on F, preferable when nobody is home to hear the disastrous results.

Variations on Judas Maccabeus.

The Rubank book of solos--the more advanced one.

Snedecor.

Air and Bourree (this is always on the stand).

And, until last Saturday, I had the band folder on the stand, with the difficult (for me) Hindsley arrangement of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and an even more difficult arrangement of March to the Scaffold.

And the usual collection of orchestra parts--Pictures, Symphonie Fantastique (especially to correlate it to the band work above), Vaughan Williams 2nd Symphony, Shostakovich book, Prokofiev book. Of course, being on my stand and being truly within my abilities ain't the same thing.

My music stand now holds my fat book of 400 plus tunes (100 or so silly songs) with lyrics and chords in "Nashville notation" and a laminated photo of my grandson Casey to stick over the bad spot on the gold-filled bell of my 1940 King recording tuba.
I have always draped a flowered lei over my tuba and music and microphone stands but my recently purchased Tuba Tamer stand (bought from a tubenet friend in Ga.), is so big it's got to have a lei of it's own.
