How not to play the tuba... for those on the West Coast.

Jealous much?

[Mojo workin']

Unless of course you like sounding like big moose ***.

I wasn't aware that the moose *** style had fallen out of favor.

[WaltTrombone]

You should really go check this show out and learn not to play the tuba the way he does. Unless of course you like sounding like big moose ***.

You say that like it was a problem or something, Snuffy.

Seriously, go check them out. Nothing like a good 7/8 groove to really get your mojo working!

[Eric B]

Ah, yes. But is it a WORLD CLASS BMA sound?

[Alex C]

Yeah, butt I heard he knows all of the hot Chinese funeral gig licks on the trumpet which, as everyone knows, is where the $$$ is.

From a fellow brasswhore who's played a lot of funerals.

I didn't realize that anyone else would admit to playing tuba at Chinese funerals.

An old beer joke:
Q. How can you tell if a guy likes Moosehead?
A. Antler marks on his stomach.

So . . . . one wonders how one can tell if a tubist sucks BMA . . .

I managed to find youz guys in Brooklyn a few years ago, had a great time! But what city is the Air Conditioned Supper Club in?

edit - wow I need to get the coffee working this morning - that line break completely threw me off track!
But don't you mean March 5th, 6th and 7th? (see your opening paragraph.)

How high can YOU play with a WCBMA Sound? How low? What mouthpiece works best for the Canadian sound, vs the American sound?

there, it's all out.

[rocksanddirt]

Actually, I need to learn the BMA sound. My playing is too lyrical and melodic.

Meanwhile, in central Washington State, you can experince a complete musical vaccuum.

I was out riding around on my motorcycle last summer, and ran into a fine Balkan-etc. influenced band getting ready to play a gig in Goldendale, Washington, which is not much to speak of as an urban center. Underscore Orkestra, from Portland - no tuba, alas, but a good string bass player and some sharp ears for Romanian & Hungarian musical ideas. If you have a venue that can present even vaguely attractive gig potential, some bands will travel a fair ways. I might know of another band like that in Seattle, if you promise not to listen to the baritone sax and occasionally tuba player.

I just gotta say it...

Saying a fellow tubist "sucks moose a$$" on a tuba forum - where said player may be a member or lurker - is the height of unkindness and uncivilized behavior. I guarentee this gets to the player somehow. It's a smaller world than you may believe, and a much smaller web.

Sorry to rain on the parade, though I like the moosehead joke

[Donn]

I guarentee this gets to the player somehow.

No question about that, it's well known that the player reads this forum. Or, well, not so clear he reads, but he does post once in a while, though with his peculiar sense of humor it's sometimes hard to make out what he's saying.

[J.c. Sherman]

Okay - apparently I'm the moose a$$. I deserve an F in reading comprehension. I didn't get that the Submitter was referring to him/herself. I apologize.

I'm getting old, and need to read things twice <<sigh>>

Forgive me all.

Ah, yes. But is it a WORLD CLASS BMA sound?

I wonder if T4S has any idea of his legacy on Tubenet.

Amazing, isn't it? "World Class" indeed ...

Group sounds great!
