Yeah I’m glad everyone is ok, I hope everything is well insured, it must be. Feel bad for all the kids with strads and selmers and whatever else who are going to have to head to heart of Texas and slum it on a rental for a bit.

I hope it's all insured.  I have a Bach trumpet somewhere I could loan them if I can find it?

Marching band adjacent:  out here in SoCal, you might have heard something about us having a lot of mexicans.  Well, I can confirm that it's true.

 

Anyway, a decade or so ago, "Banda" music was all the rage in the Latino community.  From what I understand, it's very tuba-driven.  In fact, it was said that a good Banda Tuba player could make a grand on a Friday or Saturday night playing somewhere.  

Meanwhile, there was a rash of break-ins at socal schools, and the Tubas went missing in every case.   

I always imagined that the LAPD, if they wanted to actually solve crimes, could just put detectives on bikes, cruising around the barrio, listening for the "honk honk honk honk" of a shitty tuba player.

I know where mine is and would do the same. Let me know if you hear of an opportunity.

Almost complete thread jack, what the hell is going on with that locomotive and the flat overhanging roof at the rear?

An 18 wheeler full of high school band instruments getting pancaked by a locomotive is such incredible I Think You Should Leave material.

Cooling air intakes for the diesel turbines, standard design on modern locos
