c >>> "Chris Wilhjelm" <[email protected]> 4/4/2011 11:31 AM >>> you may actually enjoy this one: I had a really terrific kid in my first high school band, a very fine clarinet player, who not only tapped his foot, he lifted his whole leg. I never saw it before, and have never seen it since. The kids nick-named him "Thumper" (which if funnier if you've seen Snow White and Seven Dwarfs) c >>> Hans Pizka <[email protected]> 4/4/2011 11:20 AM >>> You could have told the tuba player, that you remember that Mr.Jacobs had said, never tapping with the right foot & if that doesnt work with the left foot, to stop tapping. The tuba player might have digested that. If telling a lie, it must be convincing. Or tapping a bit earlier or later than the poor tuba fellow ? ##################################################################### Am 04.04.2011 um 04:36 schrieb Steven Mumford: > > > This reminds me of a concert a few years ago where I ended up sitting > directly to the right of the tuba player.
