It’s true, Rod: I did once play the tuba in the school band. It is also true that I’m a little touchy on the subject. (I started on the trumpet, but kept getting moved to bigger horns–I spent quite awhile playing baritone before getting moved to the tuba–on the bigger-the-mouthpiece-the-easier-to-play theory of brass instruments.)

And while I’m talking about blowing my own horn, I just learned I’ll be on Sean Hannity’s radio show at 5.30 Eastern time. Rod, I hereby sentence you to listening to every word.
