Marines Hymn

[Linn Family]

 I have the privilege of playing in a community band.  It is made up of 
people of all ages who enjoy getting together to play their instruments.  
Anyhow, we are preparing some music for a concert we will perform on Memorial 
Day.  One of the songs includes a portion of the Marines Hymn.  Every time we 
play that portion of the Marines Hymn, it's all I can do keep from laughing.  I 
always think of Gomer marching into the courthouse and singing that song to 
Andy.  Especially funny to me is the way Gomer says "Montezumer".

Marines Hymn

[Randy and Paula Linn]

 The school where I work part time is hosting an assembly tomorrow for
area Veterans.  The high school band and choir will be performing patriotic
selections as a part of the assembly.  I was rehearsing with the high school
choir yesterday and a portion of one of the songs they are singing includes
a part of the Marines Hymn.  When I am at school working with the students,
I take my job very seriously.  However, as they started singing the words of
the Marines Hymn, my mind immediately wandered to TAGS and the episode where
Gomer marches into the courthouse singing the Marines Hymn to Andy.  I
couldn't help but smile.  Later, I explained to the choir director the
reason for my smile and she too thought it was funny.  I think what makes me
smile the most about Gomer's singing is the way he says "Montazumer".
