	The real Colonel Bogey
		The story goes that this was a nickname by which a certain fiery colonel was known just before the 1914 War when Ricketts was stationed at Fort George near Inverness in Scotland.
		One of the composer's recreations was playing golf and it was on the local course that he sometimes encountered the eccentric colonel.
		One of the latter's peculiarities was that instead of shouting 'Fore' to warn of an impending drive, he preferred to whistle a descending minor third.

		The journalist Robert Fisk relates how, during one such event in Cairo, Gadafi arrived in a golden robe escorted by his Amazons and greeted the host, President Mubarak, before he "promptly pretended to confuse a public lavatory with the door of the conference chamber." Mubarak's smile was unforgettably pained.

		Anyone watching a marching group at the time the counter-medlody draws to a close and the melody itself returns, will observe a very noticeable increased swing to the arms, a banging down of the heels and upward thrust of the chest.
		The full title of the tune being ‘Colonel Bogey On Parade’ one has to conjure up the vision of him stepping out from the saluting base towards the place from where he begins his inspection of the troops, his returning of salutes, all the while chin up and chest out.
		Now we have a long list of military band Indian marches and it is to the great credit of the composers that, limited to a background of simple folk-lore music and the ear to pick up instrumental music, they elected to enrol as bandsmen whereafter Army Courses have enlivened their interest and application.

		Plus, Lyman's virtuosity enabled him to sometimes improvise at something near full speed, close to the pace of a credible jazz player, though he wouldn't win any cutting contests with Milt Jackson.
		Or he could playfully fool around with themes like the "Colonel Bogey March".
		Still, the musical concept on TABOO is by no means original (Lyman even lifts Denny's trademark bird calls), but the finer execution makes for truer easy listening, perfect for romantic candlelit dinners under a Hawaiian moon or its approximation right here at home.
