I apologize if you’ve answered this before. I have a rather inane question, but this has been bugging me because I’m not sure how to read your name.

Is it TubaDiva as in diva, singer, or TubaDiva, as in (read New Yorkese)scuba diva, with a strong i?

I know, I know, but please humor me so I read the name correctly.

Thanks!

That’s TubaDiva as in the lady that swings the big horn.

(I play bass too.)

Thanks for asking.

your humble TubaDiva

I’ve always had a thing for women who played brass instruments…

Definitely… Low brass kicks posterior. I should know, too 🙂 Eight years of school band, all on the bass tuba.

In high school, I used to tell folks that I played first bass at all the footbal games 😃

TubaDiva, I thought my son was the only person in the world who plays both the tuba and bass. I learn something new everyday thanks to SDMB and the teeming millions.
