The little doohickey in the center is a music lyre.
The Marine Band is the only unit in the Corps that has it

We didn't have any entertainment on our ship unless you include Wild Bill our captain

I didn't know what it was? Now, I know it is a doohickey music lyre. Thanks Brett! :ThumbsUp

Hey Brettw, I got to play with The Marine Band during President Reagan's inauguration. I was a high school trumpeter at the time. Would you have been there?
I had played with some well respected orchestras by that time and I remember that I was amazed by The Marine Band's impeccable timing and attention to details in their music. I have never heard any better musicians.

You are the man ! Thanks for your service. And the hat do look better !

So....what did you play?!?

1984 would be about right, we were inside.

That was it
A blizzard outside

The musical Marine. Carry that horn in the boat. If someone cuts in front of you, like the guy did twice to us tuesday, you could strike up something really annoying. That should do the trick and get him to leave. We had no horn, so all we could do was leave.....him a little wave wash, when we left.

Been thinking about installing a air horn on my kayak :)

At least Brett had tooted his horn. How many others can say they have tooted? You toot Brett all you want to! :biggrin
