One of the great tuba entertainers from the west coast is

 ta duh ------        Westy Westerhoff (sp?)

He's currently playing tuba with The Professors Band (the faculty of the
Mammoth Lakes Jazz Camp.  He entertained for years at Disney... tuba with
the Banjomania group and is an incredible trombonist (The Misbehavin' Band).

One of his great schicks is when the band begins to dismantle his Sousaphone
while he's playing... first the bell, then the body, the leadpipe, the
mouthpiece and Westy continues... finally playing pretty good hand!

In addition, he's a great showman, MC and now he owes me $5.
