 LL> Hello Everybody,

 LL> Twice a year, at 12 o'clock noon, I take out my trumpet,
 LL> step outside, and play "Taps" for all to hear.  Memorial
 LL> Day and Veterans Day.  But how many folks have heard the
 LL> original rendition of "Taps" - as it was meant to be
 LL> played?  Well, here is your chance -

 This it not actually taps. It's an Italian pop music piece,
 composed in 1965. I am sure it is derived from Taps, but it's
 not the same.

 LL> What a performance!  By a 13-year-old girl!  I could not
 LL> have played it better myself!  Now if only she could do it
 LL> with an army regulation bugle (made in China these days) ...
