That dog was pretty funny, added interest in a weird way, Not that the bassist needed help though, awesome solo. Dug the harmonics and the percussive effects.
Happiness is a warm tuba.

This guy and Stevie Ray Vaughn never gave the tuba a second thought. Thankfully.

Indeed!

Isn't there a tuba solo for Tuba and High Hat to be played by the same musician. I personally would get confused and play the high hat part with the tuba and.... well you get the picture.

I have seen Eli Newberger do a tuba solo with self-accompanied finger cymbals, but that was a rare treat!

I thought the dog was completely indifferent to the playing, playing to such an audience is not difficult with a tuba :)
