I think you should! There's nothing more special at a funeral with military honors then a live version of Taps being rendered!

SPC Kayle Benedix - i did the same thing and it took 15 years to get back! Needless to say my trumpet needs a new polish and finish. :(

Your making my eyes foggy SPC Jon O. I'll have to get her out and polish her up and tuned again. It's been a while since I played.
