Just to let everyone know, Ron Caswell is the Tuba player in The 
Kleztraphobix, the band I founded with Mike Cohen five years ago. He is 
a killer classical player with very eclectic experiences. The reason I 
mention this is because it was Elliot Kahn who came to see us at 
Bloomingdale School of Music and said, (more or less) "I really would 
love to hear more Tuba in the band". Our Bas player quit, and enter my 
old friend Ron Caswell. So Ron- Elliot, Elliot- Ron. Here is he tuba 
player you recommended.
