UNBELIEVABLY BRILLIANT

This e-mail was waiting for me this morning. Enjoy!

UNBELIEVABLY BRILLIANT

The conductor of the orchestra is Andre Rieu from Holland .

The young lady, her trumpet and her rendition of TAPS makes

your hair stand on end.

Many of you may never have heard taps played in its entirety,

for all of the men and women that have died for you to have the

freedom you have in America . This is an opportunity you won't

want to miss and I guarantee you'll never forget.

Amazingly beautiful.

Melissa Venema, age 13, is the trumpet soloist.

She is also from Holland.

Here is Taps played in its entirety. The original version of Taps

was called Last Post, and was written by Daniel Butterfield in 1801.

It was rather lengthy and formal, as you will hear in this clip, so in
1862 it was shortened to 24 notes and re-named Taps.

Melissa Venema is playing it on a trumpet whereby the original

was played on a bugle.

That's awesome. Thank you for sharing. But maybe it should be in one of the other areas besides the Restaurants forum?

Ohhhhhhh, I dunno. Considering that without these individuals you would likely be reading this in German or Russian...or that without them at some point during the past few years a few thousand -more- New Yorkers might have discovered jet fuel in their Lattes a second to late...I think we can all live with the reminder.

Jet fuel Lattes? Are they good?
