Nope, never knew Sousa wrote lyrics. Not suprised that old Mitch liked the same things I liked. Mitch was a very accomplished musician who played oboe and English horn. He also despised most of the music I despised, and for the same reasons. He called rock-and-roll a "celebration of mediocrity". I call it "the Special Olympics of music". Also applies to "country music" and similar genres. They can be pleasant; they may be good entertainment; but they're not good music. The performers are entertainers, not musicians.
