My father knew Bill Barber from the early '50's when they both were studying with Bill Bell, and introduced me once or twice at Goldman band concerts. In more recent years he used to call Barber to sub for him occasionally in the "Howard Hovey Trio" on Long Island. Barber was always happy to oblige. (Not too proud to play stuff like "Carolina in the Morning" and do it well!) My brother (a trombonist and serious miles davis fan) was on one of those gigs and nearly wet his pants when he learned who would be on tuba.
