<p>The Acme train whistle is better, the steamboat is a little shrill (can you tell that I like Acme whistles?).</p>
<p>What surprised me was the Remo thunder tube. A piece of pipe with a fiberskin head tacked to one end with a long spring coming out of it. Got it for $9. It gives a very impressive thunder sound, from distant rumble to strike.</p>

<p>Slide whistle and a thunder sheet?</p>
<p>I have a box of noise makers (wind whistle, thunder tube, slide whistle, Acme train, Acme duplex-steamboat, Acme Siren, bones, slap stick, etc.) I'm sure we could put something together that would work.</p>

<p>I had not thought to look up the unit number. I know enough about the period military units that there were none numbered above about 150-something. The SpanAm war saw many volunteer units but they were usually converted National Guard and kept their state affiliations.</p>
<p>"999th" was probably chosen so that it was obviously not a real unit. Of course, It would not surprise me if it were indeed some kind of lost racist joke.</p>

<p>As far as the torpedo goes, any explosive device (apart from artillery shells) was called a "torpedo" in the period although submarines were being developed (TR rode in one, ca 1905). I'm assuming this one would be a stage cracker. It is exploded at the end of the introduction and at the end of the first volta. No idea how one would fire such a thing in time with the music. My imagination sees the 2nd banjoist as a cartoon character, shrouded in smoke, collar and sheet music askew, having had something blown up in his face.</p>
<p>This piece is in an A-notation collection I just found buried in a box. I'll be sending it to Joel for scanning and then anyone can attempt the piece. Just don't blow yourself up!</p>
<p>PS, the piece was written by George Barker...anyone know of him? He wrote several pieces in this collection and one of his is currently on ebay for nearly $90.00.
