Speaking of orchestras. Does anyone have a story of an orchestra when all of the musicians lost their place in the score. Years ago I heard of an orchestra when the conductor and musicians lost their place. They were saved by the trumpet section who all stood up and played a trumpet solo section in the score. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |
