I was rummaging through some old videos and came across a tape with an A&E feature called "Life of an Orchestra" on it. It's probably 20-plus years since it was shown. Anyway, it was about the LSO and singled out many of the key players, including a few quality minutes with John Fletcher talking, sitting amidst his tuba collection, about the craziness involved in playing tuba within an orchestra (waiting through 100's of measures to play a fresh-sounding passage, etc.), and shows him doing a master class with some young folks. Ends up with Fletch playing his big Rudy(?) in a recording session. Anyone else seen this one or any other things on video with this great player? -Ike
