Merideth Willson (the composer of 76 tbns) played piccolo in Sousa's band. (How many of you knew that?) His autobiography is titled "And There I Stood With my Piccolo..."
-How many remember the famous joke for which that was the punch line?
Willson claimed that the best triple-toungue artists come from Naugatuck, Connecticut.
He also pointed out that the dictionary definition of "fullsome" makes it a very useful word. I have often used it to describe the singing voice of a certain banjo player.
