[DMCForum] JZD, Brass Bands and other drug rings...

[Josh Haldeman <jhaldeman@xxxxxxxx>]

Yeah...but that was trumpet!  This is alto horn!!  A whole different 
beast.  (haha)

How was it that Chet Baker got his teeth broken again?  Drug deal gone 
bad or something?

No classical tuba players in New Orleans any more?  What's this world 
coming to?!

Dad's brass band is a member of NABBA, or North American Brass Band 
Association.  They have some great contacts there that might be able to 
help further your friend's cause!  It sounds like a worthy one!  
www.nabba.org.  Check out where they are having their national 
conference!  Haha...what a popular locale.  That's actually why my Dad 
won't be there for my tech session that Friday and Saturday. *sniff*
