@Dale-Proctor That's a cool pic!!

It has removed the smell of musicians who formerly played on it!!!

I use: Al Cass, Blue Juice...I used straight kerosene while in college. Dad had a service station with a kerosene pump.

Very enjoyable! I had not seen those pictures of his younger days. Thanks

Hello

God bless!

Dr. Downing, 26th NC Regt. Band, sent me several of that group's recordings several years ago. I discovered "Butcher's and Drover's March" in a museum here in Arkansas and provided it to him. The band's arranger produced a band arrangement from the piano score and the 6th performed it. The march was from 1860's Philadelphia and composed by the first black band leader in the city. I believe his name was Johnson. I ran the Ark. 5th Regt. Band for a few years. We played in 4 states and performed for the national SCV convention. Never could afford replica instruments, but the Robb Stewart horns looked great.

@Bob-Pixley Sad, sad news. His recording of the Hummel is the one I prefer.

That "Russian Sailor's Dance" in the encores section was very fine

Perhaps Danny Davis and The Nashville Brass?
