Bruce,

You wrote (regarding Pete Main's Sarousaphone):

>Pete Main's instrument was indeed memorable.

Memorable?!! You call that memorable!??

If you took all the ugly noises in the universe and rolled them into one it 
would still not sound as bad as a sarousaphone.  Pete could put the ax down 
and make armpit farts and get a more beautiful sound than that ugly, 
miserable excuse for a "musical" instrument. It truly is an instrument for 
people with "tin ears" or perhaps a death wish.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Warmest regards,

Bill "phhhhttt!" Gunter
