Perhaps part of the cause (or effect) of this notion is that there have been countless record and CD album covers and promo photos over the decades with the featured instrumentalist striking a...provocative pose. Now imagine the instrument in their hands...virtually never a tuba.

In my recollection, the closest a tubist has ever come has been Sam Pilafian tipping his hat à la Sinatra, or Deanna Swoboda...just being Deanna Swoboda.

Maybe this is the way of the future to make a tuba recording go platinum: put a (what did Volker call it?) "pseudo-erotic" photo of the soloist on the cover. Ya hear that, Pat Sheridan?

On the other hand, Pat, with all due respect, please keep your clothes on.
