Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Piers Anthony's fantasy/sci-fi novel, Split Infinity.
"I have won Games by playing themes better than other people. The violin, the clarinet, the tuba-I've played them all."

Re: Tuba in Literature
One of the stories in Jean Shepard's book In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash discusses experiences in marching band, with some treatment of sousaphones. A cameo appearance, to be sure, but it's worth the read to find it.
Chuck G once linked an archive of Shep's radio monologues, which were either summarized from the book or the basis for it--I forget which now. And there are several movies/TV shows that derive from that book.
