How I really feel about John Philip Sousa

Confession:

I don't love John Philip Sousa.

Before you emit an audible gasp, ask yourself, "Really, how is it possible for a Horn player to love John Philip Sousa?" 

(oohm-pa-pa, oohm-pa-pa...)

Sigh...

Yes, his marches are catchy and peppy and patriotic and I can appreciate him...but WHY DOES THE STINKING PICCOLO PLAYER ALWAYS GET ALL THE LOVE???!?!?!?!?!?!!!

Happy Independence Day.  :)
