Steel panther is a comedy rock band. They are making fun of big hair 80's bands.

Stars and Stripes Forever; I have liked this tune for more years than I want to think about and this is the first time that I have heard the words:

Battle Hymn of the Republic sometimes brings a tear to my eye:

Stars and Stripes Forever; by two violins??? The performers are excellent, but two violins???:

As every time I hear it I think of being in San Diego on the pier and watching the Kitty Hawk pulling away from the pier while we (part of the RVAH-6 line crew) had to stay ashore to receive the Vigies coming in from NAS Albany.

I was trying to find some information about the sign that Rufus posted about the street name change to POONTANG BOOMERANG with a google search and up came a song by that name. Never heard of this group before but thought it was amusing even though it was kind of crude. Thought others might be amused by it.

Not enough? You were expecting a full orchestra?

One man alone can give a credible performance of "Stars and Stripes Forever" with zero musical instruments.

Jascha Hiefitz(sp?) also did The Stars and Stripes.

Jascha Heifetz played something written by John Philip Sousa? No way! Was it on one of Heifetz' USO tours?

[rogruth]

So did Artur Rubenstein or Vladimir Horowitz. I don't remember which.

As the guy once said: "Thanks for the memories.". I was there, I saw them doing their job in person; I was assigned to RVAH-6, our WestPac cruise was onboard the USS KITTY HAWK. The flight deck can be a right busy place during combat flight ops. You do not want your head "up and locked"!

A sincere thank you, Dave and all other veterans.

There are no engines in the C17. Also, what's all that crap on the jet intakes?
