Well, there are many incredible tubist working down at disney. If it was more than a month ago, the tubist with the "Racscal" on Main St. (wearing white knickers and blue shirts) it was the superb Hank Grieve. More recently is a gentleman by the name of Smith (his name eludes me, he just returned to orlando). The Tuba Quartet called the Boardwalk Belltones (formerly the Tubafours from Disney MGM Studios) is Gail Robertson-euph, Sarah Albert (or Carmen Russo)euph, Willie Clark-tuba, Pat Glynn-tuba. There are more fine tubist on property, though fewer than last year. Check out a new group in tomorrowland led by tubist Jeff Burton(formerly in the quintet at epcot) and the Bavarian Trio led by tubist Claude Kashnig. If you are truly lucky you may hear Ed Firth (formerly of the World Band/Main St. USA). The "KING" of vintage tuba playing.
