Howdy pard!

Hey Ian, this is Bob from BAA (thebugleboy). Great place you have here. Are you still using that big mouthpiece in your bugle? I'll check in from time to time and say hello, and if I'm not careful, I might learn something while I'm here. Great discussions. Nice crowd.
Bob

Teton (of the Lakota Nation...Sioux). Sioux is a name given by the Kiawa and Pawnee (then enemies to the Lakota). The army picked it up from Kiawa and Pawnee scouts. It translates sometimes as "hated enemy." The name Sioux stuck. Tatankayotanka (Sitting Bull) was one of my Grandmother's people.; ▶ Reply to This

BTW, Jay and Ian, I didn't get the cheap Martin I mentioned on the BAA forum, but I did get
a VERY nice playing horn for practically nothing. I'm working on my son to take up the brass.

Picked up a great trumpet book which included amazing grace in it. Could have played it at my recent mother-in - laws funeral.
It`s great to hear that BAA has had a great plugging over there since Toms Interview & with DOD. It`s only going to get bigger, but as long as we can get dedicated members; ▶ Reply to This
