Of course the expression "oompah" describes the sound of a tuba, the largest brass instrument.
Only yesterday I was wishing for more solo tuba music, that is, the tuba being played all by itself without other instruments or vocalists. It's practically non-existent.
Tim, if anyone knows where to find tuba solos it would be you.
With hopes raised, facing Bovey, this is Carl.
Well, this was always my favorite tuba song:
Note that is NOT my video -- I have the record, both on a 45 and an LP, but before I bothered to video my own record playing I found someone had beat me to it.
Tim in Bovey
Enjoyed that YoooTuba link!
And Martin Mull makes it even better. He's gifted.
Poomp, poomp. poomp goes the tuba.
