Have you ever kissed a caterpillar?

Tubas, euphoniums, mouthpieces, and anything music-related.

Have you ever kissed a caterpillar?

Post by arpthark »

I keep some tubas outside in a pretty not-air-tight 1880s barn. I went to play my new Alex today and look what I ended up giving a nice big smooch to.

Knowing that you’re a friend to creatures great and small (you did let mama mouse finish her housekeeping…), will we be correct in looking forward to a new butterfly?

Unfortunately, I had to evict Young Master Cat R. Pillar.

I haven’t, but I thought I did. Back when I was a way more casual tubist than today, I picked up the horn after nsybe a year and “wowza! What’s that on the mouthpiece!”

Turns out it was a mustache that I’d grown.
