[Dixielandjazz] Don't miss this!

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

No it wasn't OKOM but Tom does a pretty good job with that too.  I have 
played quite a few Dixie jobs with him and in the beginning he was like a 
fish out of water but has become a very credible Dixie player but it really 
isn't his thing.

One of the tuba players, Dave Hartung, did the video.  Dave is the bands 
media specialist in addition to being an incredible tuba man.  Tom also is a 
media guy. Dave plays tuba with my band occasionally and teaches music 
classes at the college near the base.

Music is the primary responsibility of all Air Force Musicians which goes 
without saying but they also have other jobs such as instrument repair, 
electronic repair, media specialist, and sound technician to name a few.

Glad that those of you who checked it out waited till the end.  Now you know 
why I am so pleased to know and play with these guys.
