OK the West Side Story post made me really laugh... imagining him locked away like Howard Hughes, obsessively trying to create the ultimate West Side Story show

My father is a huge narcissist. Just finished writing a memoir. Looks familiar.

Read one of his full blog posts, then imagine that man talking to you and the whole corps at the morning meeting, after the end of ensemble rehearsal, and before and after the show, plus occasional hours+ set aside for him to talk more.

It still amazes me that he can’t put the words “George Zingali” into his ramblings of 1984 Cadets. He must be very bitter.

I did a season of Hop Talks (tm) so I’m not sure much is left.

Found the blog, immediately regretted finding the blog

Since he obviously is reading this:

Hi George! You belong in jail!

Only time saw him in action was at Gettysburg Brass Band Festival exhibition show. Cadets were there and GH gave a talk before their part of the show. He went on for 5-10 minutes and even the Cadets fans were saying “we want to hear the corps, wrap it up”. Acted like it was a Cadets friends and family event and not an exhibition with other corps.

Jim volunteered with the Cadets and he always wondered what was said in those talks.  I said think Stockholm syndrome tactics.
