Tubby the Tuba Part 1: Mike Roylance and the Cupcake Philharmonic Orchestra

[ladyday04]

to EtrofOnaip:

He does this because in the movie it does this. It is to show the kids the instruments and how they sound..etc. :) the first tuning, I think they were really tuning. The second tuning and so on, is following the movie.

[EtrofOnaip]

Nice - although I don't understand why they first Tune their instruments, then the speaker tells that the orchestra is tuning up, then the musicians tune up their instruments ??????

Is the narrator of this version of"Tubby The Tuba"

..the son of the story co-creator..Mr.Paul Tripp?

[thecountwp]

Tuba had great tone.  I appreciate hearing the story again.

[ThaSchwab]

He is the principal tuba of the Boston Symphony. I wish the other players were the principals of the orchestra.

There was a "Tubby The Tuba"book published

by Wonder/Treasure Books back in the 1950's. Mr.David Tripp appeared with his father in

"The Christmas That Almost Wasn't".

I forgot to meniont that character actor and

dialectician:Victor Jory..who had narrated the

"Puppetoon"film version of "Tubby"also told the

story on disk too.

[143AC]

I've always enjoyed this wonderful children's

musical story created by messers:Tripp & Kleinsinger. There have many interpretations of"Tubby"on disks.

Sonny Fox,Chubby Jackson,David Wayne,Danny Kaye,

Johnny Andrews and Paul Tripp himself have narrated

this story on record.

I've always wanted to hear this little musical story that I loved deeply as a seven year old again thirty five years later. Thank you so much for sharing this video, and for performing for us. I was touched. :)

[communityshocker]

I love this story.

[natthetubanut]

I loved it!!! A favourite of mine!

[natthetubanut]

Ah.. Good. Could the tuba player in the video give me a few pointers or teach? Im in Australia, but if possible, could I have an email address?

What a pleasure it is to see and hear this. And to see the Joy in you (Eli) and especially the apparent natural exhuberance in Carolyn! Kids of all ages love this one. Keep up the posts. Thanks. Randy

WOW, that flute kills the piccolo...she plays good, but it seems she was nervous...

[tubaingunn]

This is a funny story! Great performance!

(But I think the flute is too high...)

[nxt2laststarfighter]

Awesome performance. Who was the gentleman who played tuba?

This is fabulous.  Apparently not many people have heard it since there are no comments. I loved listening to this as a child as I do now. Thanks for posting it!
