Thanks for the post, Lee but oh, man, now I've seen everything!  That's
pathetic!  That's almost as bad as me using real grand piano shells that
have been gutted and have had digital keyboards installed.  But at least I
actually play the damn things.  I'll bet Elle's husband would agree.

Truly, I'd much rather hear an old and tired veteran badly fluffing his way
through "Taps" than a perfect-sounding tape on a mock-up prop.  At my
step-dad's memorial, an elderly friend of his got up with his trombone and
played "Just a Closer Walk With Thee."  The guy was in his eighties and just
didn't have the lung power to produce a strong tone but nevertheless it was
so touching in its sincerity it brought tears to many including me.
Real is real.
