Listen: "Tubby the Tuba" with Danny Kaye as storyteller

This is a repost, but I don't want you to miss this! 
 Danny Kaye is a storytelling master -
 run and get the kids so they can listen with you.

Danny Kaye 
sings and tells a story that I Ioved as a child, and listened to over and over ~ 
"Tubby the Tuba"

This popular children's song became a hit for Danny Kaye after he hosted his own CBS radio show in 1945. 
 

It tells the story of a tuba who played in an orchestra, but never got to play a melody - 

that is until he meets the bullfrog!

Kids will love when the orchestra joins Tubby with their waves of orchestration,
 as Danny says, "And they all played!"

  Favorite songs: 
 "Alone Am I"
 and
 "Tubby's Song, a tuba solo"

As a child, I played Tubby's tuba solo song thousands of times - hauntingly beautiful.
