Thanks Quick! This is what my tuba looks like, except mine is a little tarnished from lack of silver polish! I don't have the time to play due to my family taking up most of my time. I used to play in concert bands, community orchestras and the occasional brass quintet. I would love to get back into playing my tuba in a concert band again. Practice first I told myself, or I'll be playing a lot of wrong notes! I guess like all the other fun things I would like to do in life, I'll have to wait until my children have moved out of the house! What would people think of a 55 year old woman playing the tuba! What a sight that would be! This border was made by my chat friend (Thee and Me), with the help of Dave, finding an old picture of me in my marching days! So YES I did march at one time, for a brief 5 years. In my search for music, I found this neat version of the "Monkee's Theme". Sorry to say it's not me playing. But one day.........
