The Low Brass Players Creed

Post by TonyZ »

I have not had a copy of this for years. There are many apocryphal stories as to the origin, but it is really funny. I had a framed copy on my bedroom wall during my undergrad years, but my mother thought it was disgusting. (she was right!) I'd like to get another copy?

Any ideas?

There have already been threads regarding whether Charlie Vernon actually wrote this. I don't know. I merely post the link.

I don't disagree with the creed's philosophy at all but it would be fun to get the same message out with a bit more wit and less porno-English.

What, make it less funny and a little more off-color!? :shock:
