Discovering Yourself *By Surprise!* on YouTube

[Steve Marcus]

I was innocently surfing through various brass band (of the funk/NOLA type) videos on YouTube. All of a sudden...

Oy vey...

That's me with the shiny (almost) bald head on the left of your screen (stage right) playing the bass line of "Hot Toddy" in a live performance with Chicago Brass Band.

The cornet solo is by Jay Cohen.

Someone with the user name "bonzo21290" uploaded this to YouTube; I have no idea who that person is.

It's a shame that this video, like most on YouTube, has such poor audio.

*sigh*
