I just caught part of a program about WWII. They interviewed "Smokie" Montgomery, a long time banjo player. He worked in a munitions plant during the war, and he described the process of making bombs, and how each machine had a certain pitch as it hummed along at full tilt. When all the machines ran properly, he heard the tiger rag in his head! (Hold that tiger, hold that tiger....) He said that he heard that rag everyday all through the war. Then, when one of the machines wasn't working right, the pitch would change. He would go to that machine right away, and everyone wondered how he knew which machine was having problems. I just thaought that was really neat and I wanted to share that with you. Maybe you all have some stroies?
