Some have asked about the recorded tracks for this segment.

I was asked to record tuba parts as independent tracks to be synchronized with recordings of the compositions discussed in the interview.
For the final version, the Studio 360 staff mixed my tracks with the original recordings so that the tuba would sound more prominent.

"Overture to La Forza del destino" is with the US Marine Band. I was not on the original recording. "Symphonie Fantastique" is from a 1982 recording of the Utah Symphony in which I originally played the second tuba part. First tuba was played by Gene Pokorny, currently Principal Tuba of the Chicago Symphony.

The Dixieland selection, "High Society" is by my band, The New Hot 5.

I seem to remember that concert and how Steve's rendition was great. I think I remember Mr. Swenson asking Steve to stand and bow at the end. Way to go Steve - your career is a blessing to us all. I think luigi had something to do with your talent :)

I love the New Hot Five music, I played trumpet in high school with you as one of my class mates in band at Box Elder) and liked the brief glimpse into your early life history. I remember you playing many interments, and even a little piano. It has been great to see your photos, videos, and hear your music.

Excellent job mixing the audio so the audience could pick out the tuba parts. Heard a local band perform pop / rock with a tuba substituting for electric bass, and it worked quite well.

Thanks for this. I was really touched by the way the music moved the story forward.
