“My father’s will left money to the bugler who blew Taps over his grave at his funeral.”

Blowing Taps was the only thing i did as a kid, that i did for free

later in life, till the VFW closed, on any given day/night there’d be somebody in there i blew for be it their father brother son cousin uncle and bought me a drink

RIP
