Gordon and all...

Sinful not only for the enclosure but also for the inaccuracy.  General Dan
Butterfield is widely accepted as the author of 'Taps' and many other bugle
calls used today.  For his story, see
http://www.computingcorner.com/holidays/vets/taps.html  You won't want to
stay too long on the page... It plays the bugle call endlessly.  Nice once,
OK two or three times, downright depressing more than that.

Cheers to all,
