I stumbled across this audio recording and thought many of you might find it interesting, as I did. I converted it into a video so it could be posted, accessed on YouTube, and put it in the form of a quiz. The soloist and composition may be obvious to some, but they were not to me. In approximately 72 hours I will post the answers, in the meanwhile, respond with your best educated answers or guesses.

@ssmith1226 I don't know the piece, but I see the crux of the problem!

You hit the nail on the head. Yesterday, a good friend of mine, and fellow trumpet player from Miami, sent me this link to the Library of Congress’s “National JukeBox”
( https://www.loc.gov/collections/national-jukebox/about-this-collection/ ). One of the first recordings I stumbled across was Herbert L Clarke’s May 18, 2012 revording of “Southern Cross”.
Your prize for answering correctly is your own personal Sousa Band Concert recorded in the early 1900’s. The link to this, in the National Juke Box is immediately below. The specifics about the Herbert L Clarke recording is below the link.

@ssmith1226 The cover image of your video was maybe too big a clue for those of us down south who see that constellation regularly!

Could have been 'Stars in a Velvety Sky' I suppose.

After your first post, I almost added another clue, “…and it’s not Crosby, Stills, and Nash”.
