    Every Day

    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.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Kazoo.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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.

    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?
