     As i (dimly) recall, the old Kings of Dixieland (Matty Matlock  
and his usual suspects) recorded a version (very well done) of "Stars  
and Stripes Forever" on Volume 5 of their series.  Red Callender on  
tuba, i believe (yum).

P. S. Dave Richoux ain't doing nuthin' on radio for tuba day?

Wow.   You guys are good, and extremely helpful as always, so I guess  
there just ain't no such thing as a leadsheet for TS&SF.
There will be, and once I get it done I'll certainly make it available.

The reason for all this is my personal celebration of International  
Tuba Day, this year it's May 1 (always the first Friday in May).  I  
want to do it, but my banjo player buddy doesn't really know the tune,  
from the standpoint of having played it thousands of times.

Which reminds me, I know there is a recording somewhere of a band  
doing jazz versions of Sousa marches.  I haven't had any success in  
finding it, though.  I figure someone here knows it.

Thanks to everyone who sent stuff on list and off.  As always, and as  
with everyone who asks this type of help, it's extremely appreciated!

PS   Waldo Pizza, 7433 Broadway in Kansas City MO.  roughly 8:30pm  
this Friday, May 1, for a couple of hours or so.  Time, as is so much  
with Waldo Pizza, is somewhat flexible.  Not rhythm or tempo, though.
