Re: APRIL 2026 FSOTM – MARCHING, MILITARY RELATED

Here is one I have shared before a couple of years ago now.  Posting it because I am just back from holiday and it is one that fits in with the theme this month.  Hopefully I can get back into it and record something new.

Another one I have shared previously with you all, but it fits the theme as well.  Gosh 7 yrs ago this one was!  Where does the time go?

Here is an old version of Captain Kennedy that's pretty rough:

Slightly different to your version @jandle ... mine was 8 years ago!!
