Dear Friends of the Trellis,
 
   I needed a break from scoring things with   B9 (b12 ) 's ....etc so I whipped up a crude but fun little compressed  guitar ditty based on an old Sousa tune ...
 
 {{ Composer's notes :  Make little duck quacks on each beat or whenever you find it fun to do so.  Offbeat all the D's followed by slashes with a plunk on the A string.    When in doubt,  ignore the stupid slash marks and just  march .. like in the old world. }}  
 
  " The Web -Footed Mini-March "   ( fake book version )
 
D / / / / / / / / / / / /  ,  Em7,  A
 
Em7 / / / . C /,  A  / /,   D / / ,  G  / /  C / , A
 
D / / / / / / / ,  Gb / /,  Bm  / /..
 
Gm7 / / / ,   D / /,  Bb  ( 1/2 rest ),   D
 
D  / / / /,  A / , D
 
My notation probably stinks and could throw you off,  plus I never play it the same way twice...still,   this actually is fun to play if you keep the tempo ' march brisk'.    Quacking is optional.
 
 Your friend,   Chas
