In the Band
I was in the band at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South
Dakota. Our group was required to play for all generals
who arrived on our base.
One morning, when our commanding officer heard on the
radio that a General Frost was expected just after noon,
he sent us scrambling to the flight line with
instruments.
One of the musicians had also heard the radio
announcement. He took the C.O. aside for a whispered
conference. When they returned, the officer told us the
performance was canceled. There was no arriving general.
We had almost played for the weather forecast.
