GUEST,FLSHBK Lyr/Chords Req: Gendarmes' Duet (Offenbach) (20) RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Gendarmes' Duet (Offenbach) 01 Dec 10

How absolutely appropriate that the conversion of this opera song into the Marines' Hymn should take place in 1918, when the Marines were fighting in France. Makes perfect sense to me ~ the best place to find any off-duty Marine was in a bar or other establishment dispensing such pleasures. It would be perfectly understandable for a group of Marines to hear this and steal it for a better use. Very glad they did. OooRah!
