A Damn Shame
You know, this is a damn shame.
Chronically short of musicians for military funerals, the Pentagon has approved the use of a push-button bugle that plays taps by itself as the operator holds it to his lips.
Next best alternative, but still....seems to me like we could show more respect.
Thanks and praise ...
For our days ...
Neath the sun ...
Neath the stars ...
Neath the sky ...
As we go ...
This we know ...
God is nigh ...

You'd think that the ONE thing people would do is learn to play Taps. I learned how to play it on the clarinet...one of the very first things I was taught, in fact.
