I sure hope the clarinet, sax, and flute players can keep all of the holes covered on the sides of their instruments!
Stop mocking the narrative; I’m deeply offended, and am considering forwarding a screenshot of this post to the WHO.
Well, you know their motto...
"WHO cares"
One of the many examples of how this board makes my day.

What's that pancake place over by Guitar Center? I need to get back there.
Tim
I can't soldier to save my life, but I can sew : ) I like that the laundry bag has all of the requisit fabric and ties for about $6
The pancake place is the original pancake house
https://www.ophmn.com/ Though band members are fond of going to McCarrons Pub, a dive bar on Rice Street, for burgers and a beer after rehearsal. We also occasionally visit Grumpy's on Snelling. Both have Monday burger specials.

Thanks for the Pancake house clarification! Re: pizza, I had terrific chow at Pizza Luce on Snelling after a Lake Wobegon Brass Band concert last year. Good food seems to stick in my memory as much as good music.

Or the polite, hiding what you're really feeling, "that's interesting."
Brett,
Ah, I see you've been reading "How To Speak Minnesotan". A hilarious book - and frighteningly accurate!
But, ok, then.
Tim
Ope...
BTW, my wife's family has the long goodbyes, big-time. Fro. The first "all right..." is meaningless! Takes a good 45 minutes to part ways! For short visits, the goodbye may as well start immediately after the hello.
"Hey you guys, how's it going? Well, all right ..."
Brett,
Our driveway is about 220 yards long. Today I was working outside (clay stuff) when my wife left for school. I stood there and waved - both hands - as she drove the entire length, like a good Minnesota boy, for sure, then.
It's what we do.
Tim

I've been meaning to order a stretchable cover for my tuba bell with a clever design or initials on it.
It's on the way, I'll check in when it arrives.
It's in!!
It does increase back pressure a little, but forces me to play quietly which is not all bad.
Has not altered pitch, which is real good...
I used the Mind The Gap clip art and just replaced it with Mind the Tuba but they say they can handle custom graphics as well.

I can not attest to VIRUS PROTECTION efficacy however...
Just coolness.

Pretty handy if your tuba has a leak. Might even help prevent a $#!++¥ sound. Depends, I guess...
