Thanks Gary, as I am sure they did use those instruments, as again, I was
just having fun with it.

Actually, not to turn this around, I always tease people about why bothering
having clarinets in marching bands, as most of the time all you hear is
overly loud brass and drums.

Now I offended those who hate rap but love marching band with lots of brass
and drums. LOL

By the way, a bit of Monty Python trivia, in the Holy Grail when King Arthur
was going across the bridge of death, I think it was called, they had a
intermission sign flash up on the screen.

The reason for this, is the Graham Chapman was scared to death of heights
and they had to coax him to continue to go across the bridge, as he froze up
in that scene.
