Those two happen to be Marines that I have a lot of respect for and motivate the hell out of me. They are the kind of servicemen that guys like me look up to and every day work follow their example and carry on their legacy into the ranks of active duty military musicians.

That's great, with all the looking up to and respect and legacy and the like. I was referring to the nonsensical expression of "OORAH!" in an online musical forum.

To many, that is not a non-sensical expression. It has a deeper meaning.

Very well. I apologize if my language offends you or anybody else on this forum. However, to clarify, like Ray stayed, OOHRAH does have a deep, sacred meaning among Marines, Sailors, Coastguardsmen and and any other people associated with marintime warfare. It is not meant to come across as vulgar or crude, and I once again will state, I apologize if it did. My Satement to MGySgt Gates and MSgt Holtz was simply a friendly verbal salute to what it is that they have both done in service to our nation in a combined military career of of over 40 years.

Wow, sorry the meaning of my original post was not clearer.

I was simply trying to point out a vague similarity between a picture of two un-famous tuba players and the folks painted in "American Gothic". I am willing to bet the subjects for the painting (if they actually were people and not created in the painter's head) were not famous at the time. They are now.

Also, the subjects in both the original painting and the sousaphone picture have a lot more in common. For example, in the original painting on the right we have an example of a man's man. Hard working. Fearless. Respected by the townsfolk. Salt of the earth.

In the sousaphone picture we see the same thing.

In the original painting on the left we see a homely older woman.

Yep. Nailed it.

Friends who are wondering, that is not me holding the King fixed bell front. That is my good friend Joe Burton, who bought the Conn rotary CC from Chris Olka years ago. The horn is slowly coming together, updates when it's done. Thanks.

And directly-related to "famous players"?

Some hippies are proud of the deep meaning they find in 50% THC content MMJ.
But thats getting even further from this online musical forum's bailiwick.

He may be Russian but the weapon was developed by ...wait for it... AN AMERICAN... HOOAH!!!

The Auto Assault-12 (AA-12), originally designed and known as the Atchisson Assault Shotgun, is a shotgun developed in 1972 by Maxwell Atchisson.

I will offer two other great players from the past, Don Butterfield and Bill Barber.

Bill Barber, to the best of my knowledge, played a King, rotary valved, CC tuba like Mr. Torchinsky's and Mr. Bell's. Don Butterfield played a King, piston valved BBb tuba. Please correct me if i am wrong.

As the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century, Yogi Berra, said, "It ain't over 'til its over", I offer another name that I do not remember being mentioned in this post, John Fletcher.

Mr. Fletcher played both a Besson Eb and a Holton CC tuba.
