That was no lady, that was my wife.
Allan made mention of the theme from "Magnificent Seven".
My fondest memory of the number was when I was a member of the volunteer
fire department in Port Jefferson, Long Island (1962-1975)
We had an outstanding drum & bugle corps that led us in parades throughout
the area, with their perhaps most inspirational numbers being "MS" and "My
Buddy".
I remember particularly marching in a town called Kings Park that had very
narrow streets and the music reverberting off the numerous glass-fronted
buildings along their business district.
I can just hear them playing now and feel the urge to m
Incidentally, PJFD was organized in 1887. I joined in its 75th anniversary
year, 1962, and while I hate to brag (sure) I was instrumental in providing
us with a 6-selection beer machine within my first year of membership.
