when did you change it?

bisher like a German or an Englishman pronounces it? :smilie2: At least thirty years ago I started writing to relatives/family friends in Eastern Bavaria (Regensburg) I was I suppose brave enough to do this because I'd gotten a language translation program for my computer and my cousin worked at ...

Why bother with the right pronunciation in the original language. All dutch/belgian/german... last names or all anglicised anyhow. I dunno about "snooty poots"..... but I guess simple "poots" are acceptable? b.t.w. it is pronounced bisher just like others already pointed out :cheers:

Oh Marty, why??

I voted "nope" you should add TWO rotors in there after all there's just so much room

After quickly scanning this three-page thread I'll say it's nice to think I am not the only person who is absolutely bat-shit crazy lately. Thanks guys!

There is that shitload of tuba christmas events on the facelifted site that don't have a date and time for the listed locations...

I am going to be classy this year... and play the GG contrabass bugle instead of the sousaphone. I've been told to just to play a close note for the ones I don't have and to make sure the bell of pointed directly at the conductor and guest musicians in the front row at all times so they can hear me ...

Most of the location popups are missing date/time

Just got a note from Marie Lauren after wishing her a Happy Birthday today,
"Thanks Cousin Dale! One of my daughters plays the euphonium (baritone). Go low brass!"

I think it's Mike Trafficante, even if this was filmed in 1945. If its not him, I'd say ask Klausie, but he's gone... https://i.discogs.com/MVeZqxgiIOLBleBg6gIT7L3NPWUTn8ekoCPvQRZh3-Y/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:223/w:207/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9BLTMwNzM3/MC0xNzA0NTIzMDE2/LTQyNzcucG5n.jpeg ...
