Check out the link below. 100 years old now, if he is still alive. I hope that I can still play at 94...
Harvey is going to be PISSED for me calling him old, but I bet that Mr. Phillips will give him a run for his money! He is the real deal. I have met a lot of tuba players, and I think Harvey takes the cake as far as being the most talented AND the biggest gentleman.
Sincerely,

P.S. There is no experience like playing in a tuba ensemble lead by Mr. Phillips. I had the esteemed pleasure of sharing a stand in one with Ja'Ttik Clark (Oregon Symphony) at a Mendez ensemble once...unreal.
