Does anyone have a source for tuba-jaw harp duets? Preferably something by Mozart.

I actually had something in mind along the lines of Jimmie Riddle and Jack Phelps...

Chuck(G) has his tongue firmly implanted in his cheek.

So funny that you posted this topic. A few years back I scored an AOL web short for New Line and incorporated a tuba and Jew's harp duet. It's me playing both of them on the track. The rest of the band are top L.A. studio players. I pre-recorded the drum loops (not the live ethnic drums, which are live in the studio), tuba, and jew's harp in my studio.

Check it out. The tuba/jew's harp duet is about 1/3 of the way through the cue.

Hey, MSM, that really works for me at some level!

Who was on flute on this track?

I don't quite remember the dude right now. He was a specialist in wooden flutes and recorders, but for that track I had him play standard. I had written on the part "Ian Anderson Style". He did a decent job, but I would have even liked it a little more energetic.

I have an Ian Anderson shirt from a concert he did... you would not believe the weird looks I get. One in three people mistakes it for Lenin holding a flute.

I'm 17, and the Ian Anderson show I went to remains the only big-name rock concert I've ever been to... my adolescence feels somehow empty. The concert was sweet as hell, though.

You should have went to see Jethro Tull instead.

I have seen Jethro Tull live...still impressive musically but definitely lacking the energy of their collective youth. Ian Anderson is, quite frankly, the man. When a conductor asked me what musician (referring to tuba players) I would most like to emulate, I responded Ian Anderson without hesitation. Unfortunately, the conductor did not approve of my choice....

When? I saw them a few years ago, and was blown away at what Ian could still do. Much respect.

Not a surprising respons. I'm amazed that a flute could be used the way he did.

Now to manage the same with a tuba ...

I actually got to hang out with Ian, Martin Barre, and members of Procal Harem during Jethro Tull's 25th anniversary concert. What a great guy he is. And he loves the tuba. He even asked me to come onstage with them and play, but unfortunately I had left my horn at home. Maybe next time.

The girl I was dating at the time was smokin hot, and the band dressed her in a tight maid's outfit and had her throw Klondike bars into the crowd while they were playing. It was super fun. I got to chill onstage for the entire show.
