I just recently soloed with my band on "Variations on Barnacle Bill, the Sailor" in the National Museum of the USAF. My boss, (a Youtube fanatic) stuck it on the internet, along with many other tunes from the show. I had a fever over 101 and strep throat for this performance, but as they say.... "The show must go on!"
I hope you all enjoy it! I'll get another couple shots at it in May, on tour. I'll recommit it to memory.

Sounds good! I like how you turned at least part of it into an Air Force tune!

The arrangement was done by a tubist, Jamie Hafner.

Excellent playing, ill or not!
I like this version even better than Candy Candido's.
