      Ah. easy to spot you, Doc. Gee that is a big band compared to my little 5 piece group I had in the 50's/60's. We couldn't afford fancy suits. In fact we looked more like rag muffins 😊

        Those nostalgia photos made me grin. So here's one of my first pop band, "The Tikis". Dig the instrumentation, LOL. (One of the guitar players played piano though, the guitar for photo convenience. Still . . )

          That was one memorable occasion... I had checked into a rehab clinic on a Monday, found the local band on Wednesday, rehearsed with them once, and afterwards was asked whether I would like to join them for their next gig. "When?" - "Tomorrow." Ended up skipping therapy, playing a Fathers' Day gig that started at 10 am and lasted until 11 pm...

            Frederick Fennell had just told us a funny joke right before we were to play at a band festival in Kentucky. That’s me on the far right.

                Your band reminded me a bit of my own 5 piece band back in the 50's/60'. Wish I had a pic of the whole band together. Mine consisted of me on trumpet and mouth organ, a clarinet player, a bass guitar player, a drummer and keyboard player, who sometimes played slide guitar and the accordion when we did polkas. We all worked for a large daily newspaper and we were their official band. Over 300 employes meant lots of weddings.
                Those were the glory days.

                  How about this one! My two brothers and I performed “Ring of Fire” at my brother’s (the one playing trumpet) daughter’s wedding reception in Tennessee a few years ago. It was a surprise to everyone there, as we were the only 3 who knew about it. While the wives were at a luncheon, we put it together in one of our hotel rooms about 4 hours before the wedding…lol

                    The middle trumpet has a very distinctive brace

                    Is that perhaps an early Besson

                      It’s an early 1970s King Tempo trumpet.

                        Thanks for that reply Dale, the horns clearly share similar braces, good to know.
