Hello Tammy,
I had some fantastic trips to Keflavik throughout the 90's with Scotland Band...... Many a great Marine Corps Ball and ensuing party.
You should be able to find Colin on one of the social networking sites available. He's still in Plymouth Band and currently in NZ. _________________ I feel the need - The need for Tweed! |

Hi Tammy....I remember you from the late 80's and early 90's. and the furtive meetings with the 'bone section!
John Hill met his wife Marlene at the American Embassy in Reykjavik in 1990, all I can remember is John Bushell eating the cake as the oldest Marine present and Mick Davey saying to a General," If you breathe on this balloon it makes you voice go all funny" We were all pi$$ed and thought it was hillarious.
However the next day it wasn't quite so funny! DMaj (Steve Muddiman) had a sense of humour bypass. Ho hum! _________________ Remember! If the enemy are in range, then so are you! |

Welcome to the forum sunsetfire2001.
Do I take it, that reflects your hair colour.?
I have never been to Iceland, but many years ago I 'performed' at
other USMC balls ie Naples, London and Quantico. We were always
well looked after.

As you say 'Your Welcome'.
Where i live, the windows in our house overlook the countryside
facing west.Like you i enjoy the sunsets. Not quite what I have
seen in the tropics, but still impressive at home on some evenings.
Being an ex RM bugler,Ive also played sunset a few times as well.  |
