That is great. It shows how much they liked there music. Almost like a boom box in the car next to you.. I bet they would row fast if they put a John Phillip Sousa march record on.. I guess you would have to keep the boat fairly steady so it would not skip. Next time I go out in a boat I might take a portable with me to see how it sounds.. No wall to echo and the large flat surface might be different. It looks like a cygnet horn on the top canoe. Tom B
