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).

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.
