Aired as a sound piece on Word of Mouth, from NHPR, on 12/22/2011

Intro and Outro

(suggested ) Whether you’re listening to a Glee Christmas this year, or you’re stuck on Perry Como, whatever paints your peppermint, Christmas music is in the ear – or maybe the memory – of the beholder. New Hampshire Public Radio spoke with a man who’s Christmas spirit springs not from a specific era, genre, or artist – but from an instrument. The tuba. Or a euphonium…your pick.

(suggested) That was Ron Keller, Director of the Naperville Municipal Band, and the Naperville Tuba Christmas in Naperville Illinois. The piece was produced by Taylor Quimby for New Hampshire Public Radio.
