Tubapalooza
My brother, a tuba player, is currently on a six state performance tour. He began with two stops in New Mexico, moved on to Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming, and is currently in Montana. He will finish up in Colorado before heading back to Georgia.
I wanted to congratulate my brother on a couple of things. First, for being mentioned in an article in the Billings Gazette. I also wanted to express my condolences for the fact that he is mentioned in in the same paragraph and in the same context as the Eddie Murphy movie Norbit.
More importantly, however, I wanted to congratulate my brother on being hired as the new Assistant Professor of Low Brass and Music Theory at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. He has been teaching as an adjunct there, and they finally came to their senses and hired him for a permanent position. Congratulations, Kenyon!
