Lighten up, mon. It was funny...and that's from the guy who posted several score versions of Sousa's classic here a number of times. Unfortunately, the post was lost in Bob's purge and I didn't have time to recreate it. Actually, I started to do it, but cracked up when I found the Muppet version and decided that it would suffice.

Here's one of my personal fave versions...yeh, there are lyrics!

Or how 'bout a trombone quartet version?

Speaking of classics, we lost Bill Tapia at 103 last year, but he had been playing S&SF since he was 10:

truly, truly terrible.

There are a HUGE number of mechanically insipid and uninspired performances of SS&F - this is one of the better ones.

Excellent precision, conducting and 'voice' !


That muppets one was an insult - but, given the bent of the muppets creator - not surprising.
