Magnificent Yankees


Recommended Posts

Yes Tom, Frank was a horn instructor in 1971-72 when I was there. Artie Nelson taught the drumline of course. He was a renowned expert on Swiss rudimental drumming. One Yankee snare drummer who went on to great success with Yamaha was Jay Wanamaker. Jay and I were schoolmates at New Hartford, and Jay's dad was QM for the corps. Artie was a great instructor, but he had quite a temper with a real short fuse.

I saw your post. Desperately seeking info on Frank Tucci. He was my horn instructor in the 60's. My inspiration resulting in a successful music career. He was also like my second dad. Artie Nelson was my drum instructor in the early seventies until his death in 74. Thanks
