Description
Mr. Babcock gives a humorous account of joining the bugle band despite being tone-deaf, and “going through the motions” without ever playing a note.
Transcription
I went in the bugle band and I’m tone deaf, I couldn’t... I never learned to blow the god damn bugle. But I was in the bugle band and we’d march around at the head of the thing and I’d put the bugle on my hip and that’s the way I marched. I remember we were, we got an extra twirl that we would put on the bugle then you could play a higher note and I remember we were playing those things and the company commander, he didn’t like it the way it was going. Our sergeant’s name was Lammerman, the old colonel says, “For God sakes Lammerman!” and so our sergeant says, “Number 5,” that was the number of this tune and I would just hold my bugle up to my face, I couldn’t blow the Goddamn thing but I went through the motions.
