[Trombone-l] Tuba Christmas

[John Burton]

I wish so that Charleston's Tuba Christmas would be on any other day but Saturday.  As a Seventh-day Adventist I don't feel that it's proper to play Tuba Christmas charts on the Sabbath.

LOVE Tuba Christmas' selection of music, and love hanging out with other bottom-dwellers, but ....

Sounds great to me...  except for cancellations of everything but school.  At least the Tuba Christmas thing happened.

And hey -- we had snow in Beaumont this week, too.  Southeast Texas and snow.  That isn't very often, let me tell ya!
