Card said “from the collection of Barbara and Richard Starkey”. First thought was “wow they must spend a lot on Beatle items”.... second thought was “dumb ###, that’s Barbara Bach and Ringo Starr”. 😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Alright. Assuming we get shows again . I'd like to see more 'up' shows. I've been a fan of the dark and brooding and weird but I also have really enjoyed the creativity of some of the more 'up' shows we've seen recently. How about a show themed on anime ending with the Totoro theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Sousa march, for instance, is a favorite of mine, although I mistakenly believed... ...that it was named for the famous granite monolith in the well-known national park in California. You know the one I mean: (And you probably know how to pronounce it, too!) But I was wrong! It was actually from an operetta that Sousa wrote that has nothing to do with Yosemite: Speaking of the original El Capitan, I highly recommend this 2018 documentary: Have the DVD of the 1952 movie of Sousas life “Stars and Stripes Forever” starring Clifton Webb. Typical Hollywood “biography” if you get my drift (have to throw in a young person love story for some reason). It’s pretty horrible as history and certain facts. Some good bits but good thing about dvds is that fast forward function for some scenes. Edited August 17, 2020 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 ever year has a mix of tones for shows, whether you call them up, down, left, right, happy, sad, brooding, etc. love the variety.. as a military musician, i'd pay money to never hear another sousa march for as long as i live, and the 110-120 bpm box is pretty limiting for the genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Something I learned tonight: the last song recorded by John Prine, the renowned folk/country singer who died in April (one of the first famous people to die of Covid), is titled "I Remember Everything." Impossible not to think of Blue Knights' 2019 show. Maybe not enough musical variety to work with in a drum corps arrangement, though.

I've always been partial to this Turtle Island tune, which has always given me a Bluecoats 02 vibe... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Well, after 14 years and 704 programs, World of Brass Radio ended today. Their last piece of music was Lezginka by The Desford Colliery Band. Here's Fodens Brass Band's version. For you SCV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p_igI87MYY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
