TAPS Designated National Song
I have a history on "Taps". Father and son (I mailed to you) and here is one good thing. As I can, here goes.... Father in the Union Army he did not know his son was fighting for the south. Its night battle has let up some, the father hears sounds of pain not too far away. He closes in and finds this soldier and carries him back to safety behind the lines with some lights the older man finds this wounded man is his son! The lad dies. In going through his pockets the father find the notes. He gets a musician, a bugler, to play these notes. Sounds somber but a great tune or whatever they call a bugle call. The father asks his commander could I have a burial service for my son (who is a confederate soldier) and have the music "Taps" played by the Union musician. The commander after a time says "yes" so TAPS is born and first played at the grave side service of the man who wrote it on a piece of paper. I think I am close to the true story. Some time during the civil war. Again, what are the odds-Father to find son in the ward zone, son dies, and TAPS is born and here we are 2013 and Taps is played at almost every military funeral.

WHEN YOU SPEAK IN PUBLIC
There you are at the mic. You are face to face with one or 10,000 people.
Do not underestimate the use of the pause. Jack Benny was a master of silence at just the right time. The LEAST number of words you use to make a point, the more powerful you are in your speech! I've told you before the mind runs at 400-600 WPM yet the speaking between people goes at 100-150 WPM so what's going on then in the brain? So you see this helps the statement-Fewer words spoken most impact on that target or persons.

FLASH MESSAGE TO ALL WEILAND WARRIORS
Problem: COUGH
Why? I don't know. Cough, cough, cough. Stop it. I can't. Cough, cough, cough. I don't know how.
Solution: (this will effect or affect smokers?) Health advisor on radio said...
Vicks Vapor Rub
Apply to the sole of both feet, apply socks over feet. Wait 5 minutes. Coughing STOPS!
Ok, so how does this work? I don't know. But it works. Try this then call the old geezer.
