Waterloo man has tuba, will travel - and wins awards

Harry Wolf is sitting in the basement of his Waterloo home. A tuba rests in his lap.

Sixty-five years ago, a 15-year-old Wolf wanted to play traditional German music.

Wolf, whose parents spoke German at home, called his group the Waterloo German Band.
