Yes, It’s a Different Look…

… because I updated the software that controls the appearance of the site today.  Unfortunately, it was not a smooth transition, but everything seems to be back where it belongs even if the colors aren’t a match with what they were.

Should you find something that’s not working the way it ought to work or your old, tired eyes are having trouble reading the site, please let me know as I am going to try to make BandSir.com a pleasing experience for the eyes as well as the ears.

Thanks in advance!

Another New Dance Band Album Posted!

Band Sir! Posted on by

Odyssey-FrontHere’s another one that I put off posting because I didn’t know anything about the recording that Ron Youngs provided me a long time go.  But I was able to ID enough of the tracks so that Bob Coulon could recognize the album, “Odyssey,” and provide me not just with a track listing, but images of the front and back covers as well.

Many thanks to both Ron Youngs, without whom there would be no recordings at all, for providing the digital files for this album and for Bob Coulon who graciously provided the album art which enabled the identification of the tracks.

Enjoy!

New Dance Band Album Posted!!

Band Sir! Posted on by


Greetings from a long-silent BandSir.com.  I hope that all are doing well.

I’m delighted to post an album purchased and provided by David Haught, class of 79.  Dave gave me this at a secret dead drop (it was really Bob Evans) last week (it was really last year — like a LONG time ago) and I digitized the record right away.  (That part’s true.)

Thanks, Dave, for giving us our first Dance Band album, “Taps at Reveille!”

And thanks to you all for your patience.

New Concert Added and An Updated One

Band Sir! Posted on by

There’s been one new concert added to the BandSir.com site and one update.

BandCrestThe new concert is the Fall 1973 concert.  It features Cadets Wesley A Cramer & Joseph A. Gigliotti as Soloists on Lo! Hear the Gentle Lark and includes Victory at Sea.

One note:  Cut 8, Fiddler on the Roof has a rather serious drop out in the middle of the track.  It must have been on the master tape as the two copies of the tape in my possession have exactly the same flaw.

For the 1972 Second Spring Concert, a cut of Orpheus in the Underworld has been added.  I was trying to find a good copy of it and found one on Randy Jenkins‘s tape.  Thanks, Randy!  ‘Preciate that a lot!

I still have one concert, a few records and a half dozen odds and ends to get through but I THINK at this point everything is in the computer at this point.  I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks for your patience!  And thanks especially for your contributions!
