John Tindall was a proud tuba player and Coeur d'Alene High School musician. "John was very much a connector," John's wife, Tracey Tindall, said Wednesday. "He loved talking about the good old days. He loved talking about band." He used to replace the word "fiddle" with "tuba" when "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" played on the radio. "I can't ever not hear that now," Tracey said with a soft laugh. John was especially fond of his time playing at Coeur d'Alene High, from which he and Tracey graduated in 1984 — a golden era to be a Viking.
