tesmusic Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 In recent years John Meehan has been listed as caption head and arranger. Until 2017 Wayne Downey was also listed, but on the mobile app the last year listed for Wayne was 2017. Has he retired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I read someplace that he had quietly stepped down from Devs.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he take over for Dave Glyde? According to the app, Shawn is the drum set arranger. I know Dave had been doing the bulk of the writing, with Wayne orchestrating things for a while. Has that changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayareafan Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 While they still have a great horn line, they haven't been quite the same I think since Wayne stepped away. Â I'm afraid that Carolina Crown now rules the roost of horn lines. Â Through all the Downey years I always felt like the BD horn line just commanded your attention more than any other in the activity. Â They were always just a notch cleaner and more powerful than the others. Â And I think Wayne knew how to write in a way that accentuated their abilities. Â They are still awesome, but now Crown has the same impact on me that BD used to have. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
