I played the tuba in junior high school. Because I was one of the biggest
guys in band and played trumpet and mellophone, the teacher decided I
should be the tuba player. It sucks as an intrument. Hard to play at
parties and is heavy to carry.


The smart kids in grade school/junior high played flutes, or at the worst, a
trumpet. I always felt bad for the poor suckers climbing on the school bus
carrying their trombones, tuba or sousaphone.

Something they didn't think about when they picked an instrument.

The trombone wasn't bad. I carried one for a couple of years
before figuring out it was more fun camping with the accordion you
didn't need a whole band to play with.

At one time, I had 9 different accordions, but only have 3 now. I
don't play them much any more. Internet is too addictive.

Drums man, all you had to carry was a pair of bones, and those were
considered cool
