I love Sousa--but that is because I play brass. He favors us trumpeters and euphonists! I often marched to them in parades and so forth, but when we moved to Greenville there was a station that played band music from 7am -8am.

I don't know about you, but that is the WORST time to be listening to sousa!!

He may favor brass instruments (they are the 'meat' of marching bands, after all), but he sure manages to put in some difficult stuff for us clarinetists. Lots of mundane background stuff which sounds deceptively easy ^_^ Gotta say though that I love to listen to anything upbeat in the morning. It's the only way I can actually wake up sometimes!

Here on one of the local radio channels, they play the Star Spangled Banner at 07:30 each day, just after someone calls in to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Gets me right there everytime (in the heart that is)....

Love ya!
Joanna
