Just seems like a dumb enough question to warrant a few responses.
I tried to picture him as a bassist, but it just didn't look right...
for some reason I envision him playing a nice tenor sax, and swingin' some mean Chicago style blues...
How's this for a name: St. Nick and the Chimney Divers.
So waddya you guys think he'd play?
Extra pats on the back and Christmas cookies for analytical or empirical logic used in the reasoning for your answers. Effort counts!
MERRY CRISTMAS TO AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!

Every year in hundreds of cities across the globe, there is an event called TubaChristmas. Tuba and euphonium players from around the area gather together and play christmas carols. I do it every year, three years in a row now, and it is awesome. They are all done now (they take place in early to mid december, mine was this past Sunday), but next year, you all should really try to find the nearest one and go check it out. It is a really great experience, to play in and to hear. www.tubachristmas.com

Can't picture him playing fretless, though, as cool as that would be. |

Anyway, has no one seen a picture of Michael Tobias around here? I think the clear answer is that Santa and Mr. Tobias are one and the same, thus, Santa = bass player.

it would be pretty cool to see Michael Tobias come out of the chimney with a new bass for me. 2 problems however.
1. no chimney
2. no new bass for christmas |
