Last time I played full time tuba was 1972. Just took it back up 2 years ago and still trying to get decent at playing again.

My name is Chip, a lot of people call me Chipster, I was born in 1955, & 55 was my football jersey number - real original, huh?

Lets see...I like bears, and bearphonium is combo of baritone and euphonium with a little ursine thrown in. 'Course now that I am playing the tuba, it does not fit quite as nice.

My mother gave me my handle. She always referred to me as her Loyal son, the Tuba Player. There's a sob story to go along with this... PM me if you want to hear it. Anyway, I just put the two terms together and shortened Tuba Player to Tubist.

Because this is how I looked before and after hitting the turn 1 wall of Pocono Raceway (at least that's what they told me after I woke up from my month-long coma)

Why else would I have so much time to hang out here?

Frequently, about the time grades come out, most Tech students sing (instead) "what the hell am I doing here?"

I chose my name because I thought it was humorous, memorable, relatively anonymous, and said everything it needed to say.

tubatooter1940 describes my primary instrument these days and what I do with it. 1940 is the year my bell-front King Eb was built.
My tuba is one year older than I am.
Don't know how much longer I can stay at this. Like my friend, Klaus, I will have to pack it in eventually. I am so lucky to play with friends and polished musicians half my age.

*gasp*

I had no idea Rick Denney was a pseudonym, seriously. Resident Genius or Evil Genius? I guess it's generic enough that it fooled me - then again, I'm pretty gullible.

Sound Ministries is a small sound company that I own and run providing PA equipment and training to churches and such. Like most, I use it on almost every forum so that I don't have to remember anything else

DaTubaKid · Post by **DaTubaKid** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 4:49 pm

DaTubaKid was originally what my aim screen name was when I decided I needed a "big kids" screen name. Actually, I forgot the password to my original ones...so I had to think of something new. At that point I was playing tuba a lot (in high school). So I went something along those lines. I believe at that point I was starting to do well at regionals and state on tuba, and I wanted to make a point to my friends that as "good" as I was, I was still a kid in the tuba world.

Coincidentally, if you rearrange the capitalization, you can get "DatUbaKid", which is slang for "That Uber Kid." No relation of course.
