I love stumbling upon things in my research. Here's a wonderful little article I came across today, from the April 7, 1927 edition of the Lincoln Journal Star, that talks about Warren G. Harding's history with the helicon bass (the forerunner to the Sousaphone), and an episode where a helicon took on shrapnel in the Great War, but kept on tootin'! As the writer put it in the last line, "All hell can't stop a helicon." Enjoy!
