Could you call it "Living Dangerously"?

Sometimes people tell me to be safe. I tell them I can't be safe because I'm Reckless by Nature. Thanks for looking and commenting, Ken.

Nothing dangerous. A Saint Patrick's Day Parade had passed earlier. Saw the Tuba Man waking nearby and asked him for a photo.

A sousaphone, actually. Good shot.

Great street shot. The white pavement / street really brings attention to him.

Thank you, Dan. That explains why a few years ago when I was searching for one on eBay it never cam up, just tubas.

The tighter crop works better for me.

This is something I know because I was a brass player in my youth. Tubas are held in your lap and have vertical bells, so they would be really difficult to manage in a marching band. I'm not certain, but I think the tubing length is identical in the two instruments.
