Bachus - good point! Neglected to mention it above, but as I recall, the vocal majors in the class started humming and scatting a little too, which added to the "music". It was an interesting day in theory class.

Steve - in the good old military band days, we had a single driver who drove for us everywhere we went. We all loved the guy and he loved hauling the musicians around and being a 'roadie'. It was a gravy gig for someone assigned to the motor pool on base. Rally can't blame Scotty - probably very hard to drive a huge bus at night with all that clacking going on.

By the way, to help w/the boredom, we took a magic marker and wrote numbers by each the lugs on the front right wheel. Then we taped an arrow on the 12:00 position... and took bets on which number would come up at "next stop". Ha ha. The fun days. Probably played 10,000 hands of "Hearts" on that bus.
