He said the stinch was ridiculous, and the whole back row was rolling on the floor laughing. If I remeber right, he was playing a huge Conn, recording, bell front model tuba.
Bet that evening really whizzed by!

Well, you could always go ahead an do that in your tuba yourself. Then no one would want to steal it.
Heard the same bathroom story about a shiny saxaphone.
I was on the road two years with a 1960 Gibson archtop and a Fender Super Six amp. I worried about losing the guitar because it was a good player. My tuba was not very expensive but I would hate to lose it because it is a good player too. Even more I would hate to have to explain the loss of either to my wife.
