Update: Made it to Tulsa from Birmingham for the CUSA mens basketball tournament. The hotel is good but the long bus ride was not. In need of craft beer, please help.

I am annoyed by people who write to (and, sometimes, carry on pages of conversation with) only one person on an open thread. There is a private message feature on this board for just such a reason, especially when the conversation is completely irrelevant and uninteresting to anyone besides the two parties. There is one person on this forum in particular who seems to have a consistent problem with this.
I had a nice practice to unwind - practicing tuba is a great stress reliever, maybe we should market this idea; tuba manufacturers could make money hand over fist and we would have a much more pleasant society with everyone practicing tuba and mellowing out. I'll keep you updated as I hatch this brilliant flash of inspiration.
Beginning again to be a tuba player.

This was about a month after I got it, so this might be my first ever performance on it; can't remember. It is the last four or five minutes of the Vaughan Williams "Hodie" and was not too bad for a short prep freelance gig.
Not bad - but I just found this VW Hoodie online! (Beat that.)

The color test is sick! Stupid! Onerous! and really hard. I get to play with the chancel choir tonight. Not VW. Not even tuba or trombone, but SHAKER. Whooooopeeeee!
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
