I really do want to give away this shower curtain. I bought it to replace the Spider-Man shower curtain in my son’s room, but as soon as my wife saw it, she politely informed me that I could not display it in our house. This video giveaway is her suggestion. I’ll even pay the shipping...

Please comment on the video. Have a great day.

OK, I'll bite.......

But I don't want the shower curtain - you can just hide it from your wife :P

I don't listen to a whole lotta 'tuba centric' music, but my overall fav 'tuba album' is probably the Meinl-Weston Sextet album. Not as crazy about the 'solo' tuba stuff, not even the Bobo recordings. But that's just me :tuba:

As much as I love the tuba, I don’t often listen to tuba music for casual listening either. Sometimes, when I’m really in the mood, I listen to it at night.

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to tuba music in the car, despite having Apple Music for the last few years and having access to everything.

Has anyone actively listened to tuba recordings while driving or exercising? I wonder.

I end up listening to lots of instrumental music (orchestral, bands, any other ensembles...) and then just zero in my ears on the tuba.

I'm much more interested in hearing good "real" tuba playing in action than I am hearing solos full of low farts, high squealing, and multi phonics. :)

Yeah, I do the same thing -- zero in on tuba in ensembles. Love the sound of a well-played tuba with a great sound in the context of an ensemble of some type -- quintet, wind band, orchestra, etc.
That's what made me pick the tuba -- the way it sounds in an ensemble setting. :tuba:

......not to mention cheesy/heavy vibrato, and an overgrown euphonium-like sound on some F tuba album. It is really "aural oatmeal" for the ears :x

I confess. After really thinking about it, I’ve exercised to Tricky Licks by Jim Self, and played a few tracks from Travelin’ Light at my wedding, almost eleven years ago.

I would have to say that, when bringing up jazz tubists, I have to go with Ray Draper's 'A Tuba Jazz'. Some people I've talked to criticize his tone, but I think his inflections and style match it perfectly.

1966 Miraphone 186 BBb
1959 Conn 'Naked Lady' Eb
1960 Reynolds BBb Sousaphone
1941 Kiefer Eb Sousaphone
1940 Conn Eb Helicon
1895 Besson Prototype Euphonium
Unmarked German Oval Baritone
