Congrats to Alan and Chandler!
The Horn Guys posted his picture on FB. Good for him. Symphony jobs on tuba can be had to get.

Gilbert Long, after around 45 years of playing with them. He started in 1978.

I remember being in the 12th grade and sitting with someone in a pizza parlor who was going to go off to Sewanee Music Center for the summer and looking at a piece of paper that told all the basic information about it, as - back then - there really weren't that many slick brochures about very many things, and seeing Gilbert's name listed (no idea who he was or where he lived) as teaching the tuba. I was (just barely) beginning to transition over from being hired to play the guitar to being hired to play the tuba, and wondered if I ought to take some tuba lessons from somebody, but shrugged it off and finished my pizza. :coffee: :laugh:

I'm not sure whether he and I met more than once, but he drove over to Memphis decades later and I did some stuff to his Willson tuba for him...' nice man. :smilie8:
