    What's your favorite Sousa tune?

    I was pondering this over my bowl of Cheerios this morning, and I have to say that there's something about The Stars and Stripes Forever that just gets my blood pumping and I want to get outside and march down the street.

    The Gladiator March     is another favorite, even if it was one of John's earliest works. And who can forget Nobles of the Mystic Shrine? Oh man, that was a good one too.

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    I like 'em all, but the remasters are almost unlistenable. All glockenspiel, no sousaphone...sheesh!
    I didn't change my mind. It changed all by itself.

    And I concur on the remasters (I added that word to the dictionary so we don't get the unsightly red underline. Ditto for unlistenable).

    I miss Carmen Miranda like you wouldn't believe.
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    ...when she brushed her hair in the morning she would be Carmen Miranda Montand when she combs.

    I missed this thread because I don't know what a "Sousa tune" is. But this was funny!

    What's a Sousa tune?

    ...and this better not be one of those "hen way" tricks.

    I have no shame....and you should know that by now. I'm a Philly sports fan, except for the Phillies. Baseball is all about the Cardinals.

    Glad you liked it, but where are the others?

    That was an old Johnny Carson joke that I never forgot. She'll be Carmen Miranda Montand when she combs. Classic stuff.

    You never heard of John Philip Sousa? The March King? Really? It's no joke, although my thread was meant to be a joke. Hardly anyone bit, but what can you do? Try to inject some humor into this site and it went over like a lead balloon.

    I did it after reading the thread about classical music, sort of busting on the guy a little since classical isn't discussed here very often.

    Swish - cut me some slack here!
