Right on, Sir James. The Schmid's, Joe & at least two sisters started drum corps in the Yearsley Black Hawks, in the beautiful North Philly. Subject #2 had three brother & a younger sister who all did Rangers. I remember all but the oldest. He was a drummer & was in Archie by 1963.

Ah c'mon Nanci - we've done everything but submit a DNA sample...

There are people in Wu Lu Mu Chi in the People's Republic of China that have figured out who he is from the clues - can't we name him and go to #3 or would that be a total gaffe?

Bwahaha!

It's been a while... so, I was just putting it back on top for any newcomers.

No.....no...... I can't take it anymore...

I ..... must .....re....veal num...ber...two...

Billy Taylor, brother of Joe, Buddy, and Mary... and one more guy whose name I can't remember... father or Ronnie and Angela... husband of Terri, herself a baritone in the Belles of St Mary's (Gloucester, NJ)

A baritone player in all those PA corps listed above, including the Ridley Park Rangers, and later on the Baltimore Yankee Rebels, Reilly Raiders, and Archer Epler Musketeers.

Funny guy... taken from us way too soon with cancer. You would have to search long and far to find anyone that would say they didn't like Billy.

OK, I feel better... I hated to rob you of that delicious moment of having us hang in the air while we all cry to turn to number 3.

I first encountered #3 at an I & E show during the early 60s. He was playing baritone with the St Kevin's Emerald Knights from Dorchester, MA. Great sound and mastery. He swayed slightly as he played, which at the time I ascribed to a sort of kinetic projection of his music, but I later realized was a beer or two working its way through the system.

In 1969 I caught him with the Yankee Rebels playing the incredible "I've Got a Right To Sing The Blues" solo of the Yankee Rebel's Minstrel Show.

A member of the Buglers' Hall of Fame, and I'm sure many more that I'm unaware of...
