Do I know you or what?

Don't forget the picture.

He also wrote this fine work, which features the tuba nicely, and you'll hear it if you have something configured on your system to play OGG files, such as Quicktime:

"Easily" is a relative term, of course! I tried on a fibreglass Bb Sousaphone about a month ago and boy, is it ever heavy on the old shoulder! But this li'l Eb was just irresistible!

How about a picture?

Assuming you mean me, then there is a pic of the instrument here, and I'll get one of me playing it when I get it (later this week).

Survived my first First Day as a teacher. Only 179 more days to go! Prob. won't be seeing much of the Cellar for a while, which is a bummer, but I'll try to check in when I can!

My brother the ex art teacher highly recommends the book Don't Smile Until Christmas. He considers it a must-read for new teachers.

A million years ago (pre-VCR/DVR) when I was 19, I was on the Match Game. When I got my DVR, three years ago, I started recording reruns of the Match Game, to see if my show ever came up. Three or four episodes a day for three years, and finally, yesterday, there I was!

Now I have to figure out how to record the thing onto a disc so I can upload it to YouTube and share it with you goofballs....

That's really cool. I want to see it too. Did you meet Charles Nelson Reilly?

Shawnee123 · 08-27-2009, 05:46 PM
