Because of course when you're playing I thought about things like sheep and things like that, little candies, fresh little candies and things like that. Do you think of those things too?

Billy Bob: Oh, I basically think about my financial situation. I count every like beat that I play when I play, and I figure how many notes I give in into the space you know ...

Mr Rogers: Uh huh. Sure.

Billy Bob: Out into space for how much I'm gettin paid and I am workin' cheap.

Serious question:

Can you explain your reasoning behind euphonium on the "tuba" part (the usual 14 note one)? Do you always do this? Will you do this on the concert (i.e. when you're not also a bass trombone sub?)? Is this common and I'm just clueless?

I'll hang up and listen.

Only one answer is correct: the awesome, wearable, bloke-helicon with gold accents. It goes good with any attire.
