Tuba is freedom. Tuba is every kind of music. Listening, responding, letting the body make a thousand decisions every second. It’d be fun to hear THIS, right now! So out it comes! Surprise!

Today a visit to Frick Park Nature Center, mindlessly mindfully visiting some old favorites:   Abdullah Ibrahim’s Zimbabwe & Marketplace, Rolling Stones’ Wild Horses, Sly Stone’s Be Mice Elf Again, my Michael Jackson medley, Dave Brubeck’s The Duke. As so often happens, a mother with 2 toddlers comes by for a while. Kids with eyes riveted, one slightly fearful but unable to tear away.
