heading three hours south - into the Mississippi delta - to play a NOLA-style funeral...

...decent dough / good friends / ' can check out friend's home improvements, wonderful family, and cats

I honestly don't recall using this thing on a job since September...

Per the bloke-rule, it just saved itself from becoming potential auction-block fodder...

...THOUGH... in September, when one of my per-service orchestras begins its season - I plan on putting my Buescher (6-inch fits-Conn collar, and unusual 26-inch diameter) lacquered BRASS sousaphone bell on it, standing up, and opening the season with it, playing the ' Banner.

(I believe someone on :smilie3:.Net sold me the Buescher bell - in brown/beat-up condition - for $100. If you're now here...Thanks !)

Strip the loose portion...Hot water?
It'll give you more time with the folks :cheers:
You won't need to be washing hands, arms and the sink etc.
Let it be worn, the horn has earned its appearance.

Enjoy the Honor

You should probably just not worry about it and sell it to me after the gig. :teeth:

My ears perk up when some one says the words,
sell it to me,
straight in a row...
