The military bands are great. The band master of the 28 piece band at Basic Training, Jefferson Barracks, tried to recruit me. He needed a baritone player and that was my instrument. But I declined. Wanted to stay in the Army Air Corps Program. Hind sight tells me that would have been a safer path to follow.

German culture in our old history.
Playing "Ode to joy" in the end of the year is a Japanese annual event since the German POW taught it a century ago when the 1st world war was over. A Happy New Year, every one

This is the 106th New Year's Ceremony of the Republic of China in Taiwan this year 2017.
A very good country with the peaceful people.

Moranbong Band again.
If this band should participate in the coming Olympic games as a joint-Korea supporter, it will be the most highlight for the all Korean people to encourage them for the future reunification without war. Unknown Far East.

I learned at school that Japan had denied old militarism in its constitution. So -

JGSDF's march.


Old IJA's march.
