Hi Chuck, 
   As usual, you are right on the money ... I believe that 
is same photo I have of Mr. Bell with the Sousa Band.
   In response to TM ... the fact that it's a "raincatcher" 
clearly defines it as a Sousaphone and not a helicon.  
Helloooo ....
   I have the original Golden Crest album titled 
BILL BELL AND HIS TUBA and the cover picture is 
with the big Martin. This is a color photo and the 
album's reissue showed him with the King (I think that 
one was black and white).
    Anyway, it sure would be good to get this album 
released on CD.  The CARNIVAL OF VENICE alone would make 
it worth the trouble.
    I wonder if Kinkos can make color copies of this 
album cover (or if it would be legal).
