I miss Gary a lot! I always enjoyed my visits to Otterbein & Cap. Got to spend some time with your father, too!

Re: Whatever happened to ....
At one of the first International Tuba Symposia, if not at the very first one, he was on some panel or other pontificating on some topic while smoking his pipe. The bowl of the pipe separated from the stem and burned his beard for a few seconds.

Re: FS: A plethora of mouthpieces
info:
Cornucopia and plethora both denote a large amount, but with different connotations. A cornucopia implies a bountiful, diverse, and positive supply (like a feast or variety of options). A plethora signifies a large or excessive amount, which can sometimes imply a negative, overwhelming, or ...

Re: "Mass/weight changes how a brass instrument mouthpiece plays an instrument."
Here's another hypothesis that I think may apply to heavywall mouthpieces as well as other gizmos:
There's an analogy between radio transmitters & receivers and brass instruments. We could view a brass instrument/player/mouthpiece as a tuned circuit. With my ham radio gear, the transmitter feeds ...

Re: Why should or shouldn’t I renew my ITEA membership?
Since ITEA has become primarily an ACADEMIC organization, it should come as no surprise that it has adopted academic definitions of diversity, which are quite limited in scope. Another facet of the academic world is a disdain for merit.

We need competitions that are relevant to the actual, realistic chances of most of the competitors' musical futures. Honesty. Diversity. Inclusion. We need a Bake-Off.
This could foster the competitive spirit while not bruising any of those arrogant, little egos we seem to be producing more and ...

"Made friends for the tuba" more than anything that Jan Bach wrote for tuba.
Not that I mind Jan Bach; his stuff is what it is, with limited appeal.

Re: Shoulder replacement
I had a full reverse replacement in late April. Any pain I have had is muscular, not in the replacement.
(I tried to post a pic but couldn't.) After two months, I have regained a lot of range of motion and have been cleared to pick up my horn and my rather large-for-his-age grandson. I am doing a ...
