[Dixielandjazz] OT (slightly) Flaming Sousaphone on NBC Tonight Show! Friday June 23, 2006

[David Richoux]

 From a thread earlier this month:

Forward from Sousaphonist David Silverman (of "The Simpsons" fame -  
see archives on smartgroups) :

> . . . on a feature entitled "Don't Try This At Home." And one of  
> the things not to try is the Flaming Tuba, which I will  
> demonstrate. They will introduce me, Jay will chat with me for a  
> minute, then I'll play a little fiery something.
>
>  That's The Tonight Show this Friday (June 23, 2006.) Tell anyone  
> who may care. Once America sees the Flaming Tuba, life will be  
> pretty much the same. Except maybe a few more fire accidents. I  
> tape on Friday afternoon for the evening broadcast -- 11:30pm I  
> think. So, I should be able to send an email prior to that; I'll  
> know when it's on the show, if I sucked, if the fire didn't work,  
> if the blaze required two fire trucks, etc.
>
>  And the most fun part -- I will play with the band!! Gulp. I  
> better start practicing.
