They let you trade your wife for a Euphonium?

I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.

I am bummed. FedEx changed the delivery on my new 274 from today to Monday. And I know it is in town already. I guess it would be inadvisable to break into the fedex warehouse to grab it.

I didn’t make it to TMEA (or the Army Band Workshop) this year. I was hoping to get there, but........ I was interested in trying the Wessex CC helicon, even though I’m perfectly happy playing my CC sousaphone (a lot). Karl sounds great on it, but he sounds great on anything. I heard him play trad. jazz on his Nirschl 6/4 CC a few months ago. He plays !!!!

I was also interested in the Wessex or Mack Brass 3/4 CC. Again, I’m perfectly happy playing my Yamaha 621 CC when it’s called for, but I do wish it had a larger bell.

I hope to be able to check TBA this summer.

They did that with my 274 to. I watched it sit in Phoenix for the weekend.It was worth the wait.

Now what's the best way for me to remember this when I eventually give in and get a decent euphonium?
