Made by my mom around 40 years ago. It’s never been cleaned, so it’s hanging there waiting for me to get the nerve to wash it.

I played Sousaphone in high school marching band, and I used to bring it to all the football games. I’d lay it out on the aluminum bleachers, and the drum majorettes would all sit on either side of me.

I started dating a flute player, so then the majorettes had to freeze their asses off.
