Tuba Tapestry

ooooooo....

Just listened to that. I like that one a lot. It's not too long, modern but not weird, and grooves a respectable amount. (perfect for me)

thanks!

There's a great recording of John Fletcher playing this with the Sun Life Stanshawe band somewhere. I might have a copy on Vinyl, I'll have a look.

Dug out my vinyl, and if you can stand the rumble, here is John Fletcher with the Stanshawe Band in 1977 playing Tuba Tapestry:
