Don't you have a good quality version for this video? I would love to make some portuguese subtitles (I'm brazilian) and show it to some friends.

Greeeeeeeeat job!

Unfortunately I shot it in terribly low quality 'cause my camera is from the dawn of video cameras...

your jams are real REAL hot, but you need to break out of the world of 4/4 man, get into some odd time sigs. some 7/8 is a good place to start, then drop some 11/16 on em. especially with the percussive feel of your tunes i feel some odd time sigs would do you good. can brass be shattered, and would making a ceiling out of it be very economical?

[wolffandtuba]

Actually I have lots of tunes in weird times. Five, seven, ten, you name it. I'll post some of those...

I saw you open for Buckethead yestereday. You're amazing, man.

[brincher]

Oh, I understand. If you could write down the texts of your speak [I should say "english subtitles"], I can translate it. If you have time for that, of course.

I saw you live opening for Buckethead last Thursday! It was a riot, we were very curious to see what kind of act would open for Buckethead... and it was a really cool one.

Do you have any albums out? All I can find is live performances of you, but I would really like to have some of your recordings to show my friends... it's not every day you see somebody rockin' out with a tuba...
