It's not particularly responsive, but Updike saw a headline in the Times that said: Roger Bobo Gives Recital on Tuba. He then wrote a poem called Recital.
Eskimos in Manitoba,
Barracuda off Aruba,
Cock an ear when Roger Bobo
Starts to solo on the tuba.
Men of every station - Pooh-Bah,
Nabob, bozo, toff, and hobo -
Cry in unison, "Indubi-
Tably, there is simply nobo-
Dy who oompahs on the tubo,
Solo, quite like Roger Bubo!"
So it was reviewed in the Times. Have you tried the archives there?
