Good Stories and Music?

This song always lifts my spirits.

I like to shout bits of it at passing strangers.

A song with a message now rather old, but in its day it was really bold.
Full of hot air or a helium gas, some thought these lyrics revealed plans for a blast ------------ http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=99+ ... D66453D009

Back in my youth, this was my very favorite band. I had nearly all their albums the last one I bought was Seventh Sojourn. Here is a song that I still enjoy --- Go Now (Moody Blues)

When I was about 12, I was at a farmer's market with my father(the Berlin Auction in Berlin New Jersey) I heard this strange music and came upon this floor model record player (VICTROLA). This was the tune I heard and I never forgot it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEE7f0uLvHM

1. Berlin...
Berlin is the capital of Germany. All other Berlins are fake.
As Budapest, Georgia and Budapest, Missouri are fake Budapests.

2. That tune is a march.
Marches have a side effect for me; as I was a soldier for 39 years.
I have to march with the music. You know (or not, then now there is the key: left leg steps together with the bass drum).

Then...
Here is another march: Erika.
The name is a flower in German, and a given name in Hungarian.
A lovely march, by the way.

I could march on this --- as a 70 yo ---

Then, the Hungarian Parade March --- older than me.

I used to march on this; 200 or 300 or 400 times in my life.
As a draftee and as a high rank leader, LTC as well.

Then the Klapka march:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEz2p9KR1kE
This time by majorettes.
For us, it was the moment of get-out; the defile from the place...

Last but not least:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLLh2lJ66UA
The saluting of the field musicians; the very last minute of any parades.
