Many commented on my first American Pride post and I thank you all for your support. There was one reader who missed my true intent for he interpreted my comments as being anti-America in nature. I can assure you that I have as much pride in our country as the next person and that was the reason that I wrote my article. I am proud of the USA and wish it to regain its place in the world market. My use of the video in the first post was to draw attention to the efforts in music of other nations and because of the one person who did not understand my reasoning for using a performing group from another country, I very proudly offer this video as an example of what is currently being done to educate our youth in the art of music in this country.
I apologize for running this post before my next article on multi-tracking, but I thought this would be a good time to show just how proud I am of the United States of America.
I have visited with these men earlier for they have been strong supporters of our sister blog trumpetensemblemusic.com for some time. I also want to point out that they are spearheading an effort to break the Guinness Book of World Records at an upcoming concert in their town. Please take note of the time and place for this event and if you are available to support them, either with your attendance and participation or in a financial way, they would greatly appreciate it.
