Dear All

Spare a thought for those amongst you who are tuba players..........it has reached that time of year where, because of a certain tune.............we are now nicknamed "tubby"

This has come particularly from my offspring , who from now on will be known as Little Ted.

So be kind to tuba players........especially as at the moment I am trying to become less volumetrically challenged
