>>>>>[Raven, I may not have a college education but I can tell you that
there is such a thing as a sousaphone. Most people call it a tuba, but it
is a different instrument. The tuba curls around in an oval and ends with
the bell sticking straight up and is reserved for concert use. The
sousaphone takes the tube and wraps it around the player and ends with a
wider bell that's pointing straight forward, more or less. The sousaphone
is a marching version of the tuba and is so named for John Philip Sousa,
a hip musician in the late nineteenth century who wrote lotsa marches
for the old US Marine Corps Band.
By the way, can anyone suggest a good hotel in the LA sprawl,
preferably the Anaheim or Universal City districts? I think it's almost
time for me to make my career move, just as soon as we finish our latest
gig. Oh, and can anyone tell me if there are any associations between
Dassun corp and Para Nobilis? I 'm trying to figure out who's playing us
as pawns.]<<<<<
