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"
