From tomorrow onward. At sunset I am going to step out onto my back porch and play Taps. In honor of a great land and those who kept it great.

That would be a convincing cover for a stealth flagpole vertical, in HOAville.

Sure, why not ? If played with feeling and proper dynamics it can sound very nice on the violin. The idea is to get people used to hearing it. Maybe eventually I'll get hold of a bugle and learn it on that as well.

Now there's a good idea. Nobody could object to that and still call themselves an American. :)

Have played Taps, both solo and both parts of the echo, a bunch of times.

Best piece of advice I ever got, and one that I hear screwed up a lot, is that it's impossible to play it too slowly.

Yes !! I agree.

At sunset I am going to step out onto my back porch and play Taps in remembrance of a once great land sold overseas for $12,807,513,640,600 irrecoverably rising by the minute and the slow and painful death I wish upon those who destroyed it.
There, that looks better. After playing Taps on a bugle switch to violin and play Hearts And Flowers in sympathy for the tears of America.

I'd kind of like to hear the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B on the violin. Can you even do 8 to the bar in boogie rhythm on the fiddle?

Ah... yes, Definitely a good idea !! And very fitting to the circumstances,

Yep. Well maybe. If not I noticed the other day a local music store has a couple of bugles for sale. ;)

Might even make for a great "orchestral" piece. It's great to see the "old guys" up their doing their stuff. For now I have my work cut out for me. After we did a great concert this past Sunday I am getting ready for a smaller local concert in mid-November. The venue in which I will be playing (along with the orchestra of course) is the same venue I played back in 1969 at around age 11. I decided that not only will I join in this upcoming concert but I will use the same violin I used in 1969. But to get it ready I need to reset the sound post, carve and cut a new bridge, replace the tailpiece and restring the instrument. It will be the first time I've played that particular fiddle since I was a young lad.

But how would he manage the extended drum solo? (;->) Then how to do the vocal comes into question. It was supposed to be In The Garden Of Eden but Doug Ingle was stoned out of his mind at the session and it came out In A Gadda Da Vida. No matter, it came in handy when the DJ had to go to the bathroom for a healthy one.

I though it was a mispronunciation of the Bhagavadgita.

When played too quickly, it sounds like a battle charge, which inevitable would lead to it being played slowly again.

Just play Fun-n-Games by Chuck Mangione and call it a day.

That's going to be quite a commitment. GOP is talking about a 100-year majority.

This is Fluffy. Listen to him play Taps. Then watch Ghost Hunters and see TAPS. (DOH!)
