A piping note: I've recently had opportunities to hear the band practicing a medley of US military themes. I'd previously known the Marines' to be played convincingly on the pipes, & the Army's works too. Unfortunately the Navy & Air Force tunes sounded quite butchered, presumably to fit the instrument's limited melody range. So may we say that the bagpipe should stay on land?

Had to rewrite the above because of the same text-loss problem I'd complained of before. DO NOT EVEN CLICK ON THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN FRAMES; YOUR WORK MAY BE DESTROYED!
