But last week, the band was particularly pleased with its assignment to play dur- ing the state banquet in Ottawa for Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Most of the band mem- bers served during the last war and warmly remembered the in- spiring leadership of \ old "Win- nie". After the banquet, F/0 Carl Friberg, the Central Band Band- master, approached. Mr. Churchill with the suggestion that the bandsmen would be greatly hon- oured if he would consider auto- graphing their base drum. The British Prime Minister mused a little and rplied, "I'll sign on one conditidn, young man." After F/O Friberg assured him that they would be only toe pleased to comply with any of his wishes, Winnie explained, "I will autograph' your drum if you'll let me beat the thing af- terwards." 4 -Needless to say, the band lost no time in getting the famous Churchillian signature on their base drum and the huge hall soon reverberated with the solid thumping of the Grand Old Man of Britain.
