Tuba Players Take Valentine's Day Requests

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montage. As one considers the many ways of wooing a beloved on Valentine's Day, the ungainly tuba and its deep bass sound are not the most obviously romantic.

Their fee includes chocolates, a card, and two classic tunes like "My Girl" and "My Guy."
