    Bonnie Raitt still sounds good,but I miss Freebo , her bassist who used to occasionally switch to tuba.

    Freebo won the tuba was great I’d love to hear more bands use the tuba and clarinet

    Love the tuba love

    Which took me to Leon Redbone — I don’t know if this is a tuba or a ‘bone but Redbone’s voice always sounds like a tuba to me . . .

    Nice picks ‘bulo. A couple may even make it onto my iPod. You were right about me liking number 10.

    Thanks for sharing your overwhelming coolness.
