This was taken two years ago at one of our bike polo nights here in Baton Rouge, LA. I had a gig the next day with a New Orleans style brass band and decided to take it out of the van while we were sitting around resting between games. It was a tricky endeavor, but both sousaphone and bicycle came out unscathed.

Here I am playing my gold 1927 Conn 38K outdoors, well... in the gazebo on Euclid Ave., on July 4th, 2006 with the Ontario/Chaffey Community Show Band.

Also from 2006, this is myself (and my York-Master) and Jorge Garcia playing a duet with the Pomona Concert Band at a community band festival at a winery in Rancho California. The wind was definately blowing the wrong direction for my hair...

Image


And finally, playing my Kanstul GG contrabass with the Kingsmen Alumni Corps at DCI Semi-finals in the Rose Bowl in 2007.

I wouldn't recommend holding the horn like that... it puts an awful lot of pressure on solder joints, and it can snap off.

"Been there, done that." (And it's absurdly embarrassing.) And I'll admit, there aren't many comfortable places to grab on to a Miraphone by the tubing... it's wrapped very tightly!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
