I've been playing in amateur and semi-professional ensembles for about 40
years (including some with very good players), and in every one of them
there have been times in which we were not in tune with each other. If I
ever find myself playing in an ensemble in which everyone plays in tune all
the time, I will know as a certaintly that I have died, gone to Heaven, and
taken my tuba with me....
