[Dixielandjazz] Air travel with musical instruments

[Dan Augustine]

Bob & DMML--
     Just out of curiosity, how did Tom ship his tuba?  It didn't go 
'sayonara', did it?  Did he buy a seat for it on the plane, or did it 
get packed in a big crate and go in the hold?  (Or did he just borrow 
one over there?)
