The summer after I decided to quit the job that I had as tuba teacher at the University of Kansas, I was on the shore of the Tennessee River at Shiloh Military Park skipping stones into the water with some old friends. I reached down right next to the water to get a nice flat rock and a "friend" farther away from the shore had picked up a very large rock (bigger than a brick) and was considering tossing it in the water next to the edge to splash me.

THREE times I looked over at him and said, "Don't throw that. You're going to miss the water and hit me with it. Well he threw it anyway and it hit me in the mouth. I had been hired to play "Tubby the Tuba" at a "Memphis in May" (big annual springtime festival) at a park on the Mississippi River bluff the following week, and I had to get a friend to play it for me.
