The Dutch Army Bicycle Band

Just for laughs, I’m sure, considering they play drinking hall tunes.

Mostly brass, of course, including a variation on the ancient Serpent (the skinny over-the- shoulder horns). But they also have a couple of drums, cymbals and a glockenspiel.

I suppose when you’re in the Dutch Army you don’t see a lot of action, so you have to get your kicks where you can. Geez. They even wear puttees.

  1. Hey Stanley,
    Have you heard Hell gained another one! Giap has died.

      I see ABC Snooze is calling him ruthless. I thought all generals were ruthless. Giap was self-taught. There’s a lesson in that.

  2. Well fed guy that, but then playing that kind of instrument takes some wind out of a man.
