Isn't "Taps" just a simple melody composed of what musicians call "thirds", or an interval or "separation" of three notes? I am a drummer and tune my drums to that same interval
"dada dum- dada dum- dada dum- dada dum dada dum--- da dum dum dum da da- da da dum"
(16"-16"-13", 16"-13"-12",16"-13"-12",16"-13"-12",16"-13"-12",13"-12"- snare (strainer off) 12"-13"-16" 16"-16"-13"
Drummers you know what I mean...and others? Yes, drummers DO tune drums. And yes, we have all heard ALL the dumb drummer jokes....

Wasn't "Taps", originally called "Butterfield's Lullaby".

My copy of the third and final book in the series, (Never Call Retreat) should be in the mail to me soon. My wife pre-odered it for me for fathers day but blew the surprise by using my email.

I was actually in Gettysburg when I saw "Grant Comes East" at a bookstore so I had to buy it immediately.
The two of them also wrote a book about ten years ago called "1945" about an alternate war between the U.S. and Nazi Germany. I wish they'd continue that series as well.

I think June 2nd is the release date
