Where's the Tuba?

[MyCatTom]

@jamestfan :)

[reddwarf1980]

that's Liesl Whitaker.

She was in the Air Force Airmen of Note. And she's a SICK lead player

[MyCatTom]

Actually, the Army Blues Jazz Ensemble, across town from the Note.

[reddwarf1980]

You're right of course, but I have "THings Ain't What They Used to Be" and I could swear she plays lead on there....maybe just filling in??

[MyCatTom]

Yes she does, but that's a Blues recording. Things Ain't, 26-2, Soon, Limehouse Blues, etc. You can do a search on Amazon and it will come up with the cover and titles. The bands have traded players on occasion, though, so she may have filled in with the Note here or there.

One thing's for sure - she's world-class, no matter with whom she's playing.

[Grillhorn]

@whumbyrd actually she has filled in a few times, plenty of video evidence of this right here on youtube

[whumbyrd]

she is in the Army Blues Band.....still is the lead player...was never in Airmen of Note

[DonWej]

Heh, I was there as a senior about 4 years ago.

[DTate16]

Wow.....i think i was there when i was a freshman four years ago!!

[LadyMiles08]

Very cool..

[Festesson]

OK I love Liesl. In fact I love them all.

Mine is not an easy life.

[reddwarf1980]

OK I looked at the disc, and it plainly says right on it

Army Blues

Dang, I am slippin
