Any help locating John Griffith's "Canadian Chops" CD?

[Cyrilee]

Heya Tubenet!

I've come to ask for help acquiring a copy of the Canadian Chops CD, or at least a single track from it. I'll be performing Elizabeth Raum's "Will There Be A Time" for a charity event in a month, and I wanted to listen to a recording so I can base the unusual mouthpiece work and the overall style of this very moving and dramatic piece on Mr. Griffith's interpretation rather than my own. I also don't want to screw up the performance with unnecessary or "sacrilegious" touches or interpretations.

With all that said, I'm having a hard time getting a hold of the CD itself. A Google search yields nothing but websites that list the CD as a point of reference, or libraries in Canada that'll let you check it out. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this CD? Or is anyone willing to send me a audio file or sell me the CD digitally? While I'd love to listen to the entirety of it, listening to that specific performance is my priority, and the quicker I can get a hold of a recording, the sooner I can start to refine everything.

Thank you all so much, and stay safe!

I have no idea how to edit posts, but I have the recording now! If you're still looking to offload the CD, I'd be happy to buy it off you.

Thanks for all your help, everyone!

I have it. He had some very serious high chops.

I used to have all of johns cds but sadly i gave them to someone.When i switched from euphonium to tuba back in the early 1990s i used to make the short 2and half hour drive from Saskatoon to Regina to take a few lessons with him.He was a masterful teacher,and yes his high register playing was out of this world.Sorry to derail your thread but he was,an extremely underrated teacher and performer.Gone way too soon and deeply missed in this part of the world.
