Since they're built like tanks anyway, the Defence Dept toyed with the idea of putting treads and a gun turret on these old uprights that abound in the sunday school rooms throughout the country. The idea was that if the guns didn't get the enemy then the troops could at least drive them crazy by playing yet another round of "Heart and Soul". It would be all the more effective since the piano would always be out of tune, for being on treads it would be on the move and everyone knows that everytime you move a piano it goes out of tune right? Apparently the project never got past congress. They felt that it was too inhumane a weapon. Terry Greene RPT
