Things I thought I'd never do again, part I

Yes, that lovely man to the left is me, picking up a tuba for the first time in 20 years.

Tell me true, have I lost my street cred?

In my defence, while I will never claim that the tuba is a spectacularly sexy instrument, it does have at least one legend of music behind it (see below). As Opus says when auditioning:

Steve Dallas: Heavy Metal?

Opus: Weighty brass, gimme a break.
