TubeNet is all abuzz.



Speaking of CB - if anybody is interested they will be playing on 8/4/13 on the shores of Lake Geneva, WI on the George WIlliams College Campus as part of the Music By The Lake series.

It's a beautiful really intimate outside venue and a great way to spend a summer night by the lake.

Tickets are cheap and CB has always been a good show to see. Although, the only one of the five guys in the publicity shot that I recognized was Charles Dallenbach. :lol:

This has been your Buzzed Update!

Update: It seemed like Bloke Sr. long ago had spread it around TubeNet. :shock:

Geeze, Joe! That's a blanket of chicken poop 3/8" thick if spread evenly over that area. That's enough nitrogen to be toxic to most plants!

I'm wondering when Missouri will finally reveal his "true identity."

And, yeah...it's "that guy."

Was invited by some of the workers at Alexander to play in a German wind band. Excited to start playing with some German bands.

Taking inspiration from blokes sharing with the group I too want to share an anouncement with the Group.
Its not just women that I don't understand
I also don't understand string theory or heavyweight valve caps.
Cant carry a tune but I can carry a tuba.

Why, do you hold that against them?

Joe.... before you go too far with that comment, you need to decide whether you are the 'bull' or the submissive party.

Monday it was 80 degrees in Denver. Today we are getting 4 to 7 inches of snow.

That was a short summer!

What ?

What's a New Yorker going to do with an automobile ?

OK besides all that, congratulations; tell us (Bragg) about it !
I know... :) we've actually always had a car here, and use it enough to justify keeping it. The old one is biting the dust, so time to replace it. Also, we won't be in the city too much longer, and will be "car people" once again.

We pick it up on Wednesday, I'll share then. :)

Congrats on the nice find.

24" bell. This would be the 40K or a 41K. Correct? Is there a model number stamped into the bell collar/tenon? 40K would be low pitch and 41K would be high pitch... according to the Conn Catalog C.

Your horn should be the same family as the 38K and 39K but slightly smaller in stature than the 46K and 48K 'jumbo' models.

The bell tenon should be the same as the more modern 20K... about 7 1/4" diameter.
