Dear brothers and sisters:
During a dull moment staring at the TV this weekend, I idly wondered which tuba Sam had played for the 1992 CD Class Brass: On The Edge which was within view on my CD shelf. As I pulled the CD down, studying the horn for signs of familiarity, a curious thing began to unfold. I discovered, as perhaps many of you already have, that the photo was, for whatever reason, placed backwards on the CD jacket cover! His horn, if placed as viewed, would have the bell firing to his right--and the trombone in Scott Hartman's hand was obviously backward (unless you've been a middle school teacher, as I have and find this routine)as well as Smedvig's axe.
Okay, so maybe I'm dense, and I've been looking at something for 12 years that you instantly discovered--or, perhaps you need to re-visit your CD collection and find that the TRUTH is Out There. Or, better put, .erehT tuO si HTURT eht
Best wishes to everyone, everywhere, in the toob/youf family!
