Today I heard very beautiful brass band music from the Army Band in the parade for the Unknown Soldier. Later in the war memorial building the small cadets and calvinettes got quite silent for the first time.

I cried
the cadets were on tv.
interesting article in the Maxim email today. It’s sad and ironic that many of the things this soldier would have fought for (“basic democratic freedoms, marriage, family, the importance and care of children, and moral and spiritual values”) is being legally undermined by the government who is praising this man.
I wholeheartedly agree with a repsonse made to that article by someone on the Maxim forum:
Aye.
Must say that piece composed for the march was actually quite cool, it was full of somber jubilant militantness
I agree with that too Matt. Maxim make me laugh sometimes.
Also, did the Cadets get ‘quite’ silent or ‘quiet’ silent?
Jono yeah that was a hot piece, and they played it tight as tight. At first I didn’t even know it was brass. Churs for the typo Tim.
Matt with regard to Mmmammon and such and Yvonnes discourse about post modernism etcetcetcetcetcblahblahblahblah has she perhaps read about Norman Cousins approach to life :-)
He had anklosing spondylitis in 1964 and obviously a love of the Marx Bros.
Mmmmmmmmm guess it doesn’t have much to do with Postmodernism but its interesting.And maybe we should all read Hans Selye’s book “The Stress of life”
Thanks ru I’ve added those two authors to my ‘to read’ big list.
