Today I achieved a Minor Ambition. You know, one of those things-to-do-before-you-die. I played a tuba![1]
And in entirely related news, you ain't heard nothin' if you ain't heard Stormy Weather rendered by soprano and tuba with added thundershaker.[2]
No, it wasn't me playing Stormy Weather... good grief, I couldn't even get a recognisably pitched note out of the monster! Mike[3] made a superb job of it.
[1] Well, ok, maybe played is over-stating it.
[2] Thundershaker is now listed on the School of Music budget requirements for next year ;)
[3] Michael Charles. Available, as they say, for weddings, funerals, and bar-almost-nothing.
