So, last night at a Christmas Concert our band was performing, a person from the audience came and asked, "where is the guy with the magic tuba?" The trombone section directed him to me. I guess he had been to a previous concert where I had played my Bubbie 1 as a french horn. It must have made an impression. Unfortunately, I sold that horn. I was playing my Kanstul. He was disappointed. I guess I'll have to order a Bubbie 5 to keep up my reputation.

For the first time in 8 years, we are going to someone else's house for Thanksgiving (wife's parents). It'll be fun, but I will miss all of the cooking.

But:
- wife still made pies, rolls, and bread
- we have a 14 pound turkey in the fridge that we will roast on Friday
- I have plenty of beer

I love Thanksgiving, by far my favorite holiday.

Have a good and safe Thanksgiving, y'all.

Thanksgiving dinner: the true test of assimilation.

I traveled for Thanksgiving this year, and took the Traeger with me. Turkey turned out really well, lots of compliments. The bourbon that was used for the brine and for the chef was a great bonus.

Heading off to play some background music for an Advent workshop at the church where I rang handbells. Tuba and accordion. This could be fun!

I played at my home church while I was home for Thanksgiving. Gotta say, there aren't many things in life, musically at least, that can top playing hymns with an organ. Fun stuff.

Nope. The punch line is, [in your best Irish brogue]," Because 1 more would be too farty!"

Sorry, but 'gun violence' strikes again....it is too easy to obtain assault weapons ( and I am not talking about pers. safety pistol permits for pistols or rifles for hunting).. what is next...surface to air missles being sold at Cabelas?

Well, I didn't mean to turn it into one of *those* conversations. Point is, be vigilant, be aware, and be unafraid.

Now, back to the regular nonsense...

tuba tuba tuba super!

Vigilant == keep in mind what thread you're reading ("Update update" in this case.)

Aware == able to retain a grasp on reality while hearing from rigid ideologues.

Unafraid == of Tubenet soap-box ranting's minimal impact on the real world.

I think I'd rather just buy a tuba that comes with a mouthpiece, dealer's choice.

Then I imagine myself playing it without examining it closely, and being delighted to find that it turns out to be 1) the dread 24AW and 2) the mouthpiece of my dreams - "sonorous, dark tone quality of enormous volume" and all.

Update: It's a cold start to the day for TubaChristmas Atlanta. Again. Dress warmly and colorfully.
