Great sentence right? Well, maybe I can try and clarify: When you pick you the actor to be your main character, is a prerequisite that they have to play the tuba well? I mean, the guy in your promo pic is holding the damn thing upside down. walter would not be amused by that.

Chewing Wax:
How the hell would we know? You keep rewriting the thing every two seconds. For all we know your main character is a French cross dressing lounge singer exploring his femininity whilst dealing with the inner angst of a war torn Paris heroine scene. Say. That gives me an idea.

Chewing Wax:
heroin. Well. It works both ways.

Go to an tuba store and have the owner open it up for you. YOu just have to pull the pegs out and it opens.

Detlef Sping:
I think it should read: "but not a main character sort of trying to play tuba but is supposed to be a great tuba player trying to play a main character, sort of. "

Detlef Sping:
You know?

Just make sure you get an tuba, or actor with an tuba that has "wet tuning" Thats the sort of tuning that gives that musette sound that you hear on your Tom Waits albums, well, I think those are button boxes he uses. I don't know.

Germans. Greatest engineers the world has ever known.

bela:
Sound is what you want, not appearance.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:45:28 pm)
bela:
They make crappy tubas though.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:45:55 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Why the hell am I still at work? Why aren't I home drinking beers? What is going on?
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:46:15 pm)
Heruka:
Why not have the character play a worthwhile instrument. The Hurdy-Gurdy is nice.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:47:00 pm)
Detlef Sping:
I know a German Tom Waites impersonator he hits a dresser full of cats with a stick in one song.

Detlef Sping:
Something about bones.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:48:07 pm)
bela:
Because the tuba is sad and pretty sounding. Its not worthwhile? That hurts.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:48:08 pm)
Heruka:
Cause it's not even 4 o'clock yet. The question is: why am I still at home? I've nothing to do here, nothing at all.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:48:13 pm)
Heruka:
Not nearly as much as a kick in the balls I bet.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:49:08 pm)
Chewing Wax:
and I took a three hour lunch. Oh well. Maybe I'll just go buy some beers and drink them here.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:50:14 pm)
Heruka:
I could go for a Guinness. Pick me up an 8 pack while you're out. The canned Guinness, not the Extra Stout stuff.

bela:
My stupid boss called in today so now I have to stay in case something comes up and the big boss calls me. I hate him for calling in today. Most likely hes with Poo.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:54:27 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Eight cans of nitro bubbly Stout.

Chewing Wax:
Down to the Hamptons to Poo's parents cottage for the weekend. Oh it's so nice.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:55:12 pm)
Heruka:
Poo? Does he rob 'poo' all over himself? That's pretty gross.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:55:54 pm)
Heruka:
rUb.

Chewing Wax:
I think I'll get a 6-pack of Schlitz light. Or something.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:56:16 pm)
Queenie:
Yes, the main character is supposed to play the tuba. Whether or not my actor will be a natural prodigy will be left up to the fates of the universe. Most likely we'll end up having to fake it with lots of body doubling.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:57:26 pm)
Queenie:
And I think, for the record, that the tuba is an instrument most worthwhile than most. Though my recent experience at the Rheinlander restaurant taught me that there is such a thing as TOO MUCH tuba.

Detlef Sping:
Rub poo? you said you had nothing to do at home.
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:58:48 pm)
Chewing Wax:
That's a German for you
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:59:07 pm)
Queenie:
Quick! I need a funny expression for "blowjob".
(Fri Jun 29, 2001 - 3:59:28 pm)
Queenie:
Quicker!

Detlef Sping:
I love all bagpipe songs, Amazing Grace and the other one.

Chewing Wax:
I'm sure bela has a million of them
