I knew I'd seen this a while ago; thanks for the date on it.

It is priceless. Must have been a bit of a chore though to keep on blowing that big tuba during the entire march.

That was brilliant. Thanks for putting it out there. While we're at it, maybe a single trombone player.

Sadly, there simply was not enough room in downtown Charlottesville for the protest and counter protest that happened a week ago.

Their gait matches the tuba player's cadence. An oldie, but a goodie.

That being said, I was happy to see three Sousaphones present at today's protest even though the police didn't let them get close to the nimrods.

Looks like she's mostly gone to ground. She's married, has two kids, and for all I know, she married a tuba player.

Stacy Hedger, Revealed
ERIC BARTON OCT 22, 2007

After publishing this blog entry on Wednesday about the famous Miss Douglas, Stacy Hedger, I got an e-mail from a Richard Dean of Austin, Texas. Dean, it seems, had done his homework on Miss Douglas. He found an entry for her on classmates.com from Douglas High School in Douglas, Arizona.

So I called the only Hedger in the book in Douglas, Arizona. Turns out it’s her dad. He gave me Stacy’s cell phone number. When I called on Thursday, she hadn’t seen the video or heard that it was making the rounds on the Web. Since then, she googled herself and learned that the video has appeared everywhere from VH1 to Jimmy Kimmel Live.

After her research, we talked by phone. Turns out the video doesn’t have a Kansas City connection. Still, because there are probably a few people out there who are curious about the real Stacy Hedger, I recorded this interview above. I agreed to leave off her married name from this article, mainly because she’s this sweet mother of two from this small border town down in Arizona who doesn’t need any more harassment. Beyond the harassment she’s already gotten from her relatives. – Eric Barton

(Unfortunately, the recorded interview fell down the rabbit hole.)

I would joke that when the engine finally gave out, it would go to Valhalla with all the other junked German cars.

Sort of a cosmic used auto parts yard up there.
