I actually sent them the piece, which they considered last year but didn't have enough time (to rehearse), |
I like the Army (planes) best, ... They're cool. |
I like the biplanes, ... They don't have (cockpit) coverings. They're just out in the open. |
I waited and waited for a year and a half for them to announce who won, ... Jim Jeffords' office had to get involved. But, once they did select me, things worked a lot more smoothly. |
It was a fun experience and it went quite well, |
The rhetoric was not there in the way it has been in the past, but we're still looking at a hike in March. |
They were touring this year with a clarinetist, so I sent it to them, ... They agreed to do it. |
