[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Deacon....he was quite the soldier.

Glad you enjoyed reading about him.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Army Bro! Tonight we honor one of our great Heroes - a three war veteran - Medal of Honor and just about every other decoration for valor that we have.

God Bless him, God Bless the U.S. Army, and God Bless America!

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Hi Everybody!

((((HUGS))))

[Publius]

Did you enjoy the stuff I posted last night?

[PROCON]

Blessings and Greetings Navy Bro!

What a hero indeed!

The U.S. Military is the greatest fighting force in world history and for one man to be singled out among the millions who have served is a true honor.

Well....., my shoulder and arm are feeling better. I can move my arm now a little bit without pain. Was even able to cook supper tonight. Slowly and double the prep time, but DONE IT.

Yes indeed. I was not able to listen to all of it, but I listened to the pieces with which I was UNfamiliar, since most movies and commercials quote well-beloved works.

However, the music from Smallville, and some of the newer TV shows were a revelation to me, because I haven’t watched much broadcast TV with the advent of the internet! (I guess I spend too much time on it! hahaha)

Stage set-up, rehearsal, church service in the morning, and I tested a piano for some old friends. I advised them not to buy it. It was a magnificent antique, and their rock-n-roll teenager (for whom the piano was being sought) would have found the action too delicate and the sound too small for her music. It was over 180 years old, and had “Birdcage” action, with the hammers under the strings.

It did not have the dynamic range of a modern piano, but it was an exquisite thing. I think it was more suited to a collector than a rock musician though. She probably would have trashed it in no time at all. As a matter of fact, I used to bring a little tool kit with me to her lessons, with lots of spare guitar parts, as she was forever breaking off tuning pegs, snapping strings, and stripping bridge pins.

It would have been a death sentence for the fine old piano!

[Publius]

There is a special place in heaven for those who spare fine pianos from destruction.

If you listened to the Beethoven septet, you're probably still humming one of the themes from the scherzo movement.

I am looking forward to “My special place in heaven”.

I have a choice between the “special place in heaven for those who spare fine pianos from destruction”,

The “special place in heaven for those who play gospel music for bikers”,

or

the “special place in heaven for those who have to physical wrest ipads out of the hands of screaming children for a half-hour piano lesson”.

And rounding out the top three....Deacon bags the bronze!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

DOES THAT INCLUDE CONCERTINAS AND ACCORDIANS?

[ConorMacNessa]

A true honor indeed!

Also the last, if not one of the last, to utter the command "Fix Bayonets!"

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

DOES THAT INCLUDE CONCERTINAS AND ACCORDIONS?

Uh...no. Those who rescue Concertinas and accordions earn a special place in the 15th circle of HELL.

[Publius]

There was a Dave Barry cartoon that had two people, one going to heaven and the other to hell. The line for one was, “Welcome to heaven. Here’s your harp.” The other was, “Welcome to hell. Here’s your accordion.”

Hey...

What’s the difference between a concertina and a lawn mower?
Ya can TUNE a lawn mower!

What do you call 10,000 concertinas at the bottom of the harbor?
A good start.

[SandRat]

What about SCOTS Bag Pipes?
