Subject: TAB: Stars and Stripes Forever : Guy van Duser

Well, I finally got around to typing this up, and just in
time for your Fourth of July.  So I guess that makes it
a birthday present.  Thanks for Velcro, Stratocasters,
and Dennis Miller, you imperialist dogs ;)

Warning - this is tough.  And it's the easy part.  Guy
Van Duser does the whole thing on "American Fingerstyle
Guitar", Rounder Records.

                "The Stars and Stripes Forever" (excerpt)
                      Guy Van Duser : arrangement,
                      John Philip Sousa : Composer

This is the main melody - the bit children learn as
"Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may
be somebody's mother"
