For my money, I would('ve) most like to go to a concert that was being played by...
1. Warren Deck
2. Gene Pokorny
3. Floyd Cooley
4-5. Dave Kirk/Matt Good
I have obviously not been all over the country to hear every tuba player in his natural environment, so some of this is based off of recordings (which may not be fair). The Montreal/Dutoit recording of Prok. 5 leaves me wanting to add him to my list as well (Ellis Wean I believe), I'm sure John Fletcher would have been nice as well. I wouldn't mind hearing Jacobs for historical reasons, but that'd have to be a top 10-15 list for him to make it.
