Anybody play tuba?

I pulled out the old clarinet yesterday and found, much to my surprise, that I could still play it after having seldom touched it for about 25 years.

    I play the trombone. Well, I used to. From time to time I'll pick it up and I can still knock out some scales, but the tone resembles a fog horn.

    Reminds me of the joke that was posted on Mitch's blog yesterday:

    Q. What is the definition of irrational optimism?
    A. A trombone player with a pager.

    I'll be the manager, embezzle all the funds, then skip town and settle somewhere in Tahiti.

    Ahhh, a fellow Bloom County fan. In my opinion, that was the greatest comic strip ever. I loved Bill the Cat, our favorite defect(or).

    I might know a thing or two about pacemakers.
    It's not exactly rocket science.
    And I can tell you this, designing vertical missile launchers is not exactly brain surgery.

    I could do vocals and "help" KD with the funds... heh heh heh...

    Per Gino's comment; who ever heard of a girl wearing lederhosen in an oompah band to play the clarinet polka? Yeesh. :^)

    By the way, ya know what ya call people who hang out with musicians?

    No, not groupies. Drummers. :^)
