The problem with that approach is the crazies run in huge, erratic, upredictable circles They churn lots of threads into mud, which is bad enough, but they leave trample-marks scattered all over the site.

you got that right timber.
timber, that sounds beautiful and sad all at once. The only times I've heard Taps played was by a single person.

WOW Timber, I can almost hear it the way you describe
it so clearly - it must have been magnificent... I would
have liked to hear something as well done as you describe.
much as military things go, do they generally play taps
at funerals.... or is it an end of the day thing?
oh, and g'nite pueo
Day is done
Gone the sun... so long ago.
goodnight, pueo.
Thank you, people who wore the uniform, and who wear it tonight.
Where ever you are.
Taps is always played at US Military Funerals, babs, and there is usually a rifle volley. It is also typically played at sundown, when The Colors (The Flag) are struck (brought down for the evening). The incident I mentioned was a funeral of sorts; it was a memorial service for members of our outfit who were not going home with us.
And, g'night, pueo.

Pueo, I hadn't checked in on this thread for several days. Best wishes for the safety of your son in Kuwait.
Timber, your description of taps was beautifully moving. Did you serve in Vietnam?
Diane,
Yes, Ma'am.
And that was the location of the scene I described.

Day is done again and so soon.
