I have to agree with your idea of him being a "regular guy" and his ability at the tuba. His rendition of the 5 Bagatelles was such that it seemed to be written for the tuba, and just for him. That alone made the 8 hours each way worth it. That is one of the best solo performances I have ewver heard live or recorded on any instrument.

While I might not be 50 (28), what he said in his clinic and with his horn spoke volumes. Playing with a stand, keeping up the chops, etc., all were very important to me. My wife came with me to the conference and enjoyed his clinic more than any other event there.

His clinic could have ended after the first two etudes, but he was gracious enough to continue!
