Jim,
Check your facts. Only the first of the quotes below which you attribute to
me is actually mine. The other two are someone else's statements, not mine.
I'm supporting you, not the contrary. I have a feeling that my background is
quite similar to yours, having played "B&B's Favorite", "S&S Forever" and
many other marches on tuba countless times.
Cheers,
John
