In 1979 I was in the Air Force Band at Langley AFB, VA. I was put in
charge of a 6 piece protocol band. We were supposed to play special Office
Club get togethers. Before we had any time to work up enough "tunes", we
were booked to play some special event in Washington DC. (I do not remember
what base it was on). During the course of the evening a General, who
apparently was not impressed with our rather limited repertoire, came over
to the Trumpet player and asked who was in charge of the Band. As soon as
the question was asked, everybody in the band pointed to me and said, in
unison, "He is". Unfortunately I brought my smaller drum kit and had no
place to hide.
