Hi Creight,

Yes, thanks for the reminder.  We have not had the two beat/four debate for
a while - tuba vs string bass, which swings more etc.   I remember there
were casualties and hot words.......time to resurrect that one?

Regards,
Brian

P.S. I  prefer string bass for versatility but it is marginal.
