I Just Realized Something Rather Astonishing

Band Sir! Posted on May 30, 2025 by Dan WolfeMay 30, 2025

Believe it or not, BandSir.com is OVER twenty years old.  Right around 21 depending on the exact date but it’s so close to 21 years that I’d feel comfortable buying BandSir.com a drink. The roots of BandSir go back to 2004.  I’ll quote myself here because I’m too lazy to write something new. “Back in 2004-ish, fellow VFMA Alum Jeff Tobin visited me at my new home in Virginia. I had purchased a reconditioned Teac reel-to-reel tape deck, and I thought it would be a blast to thread up some of our old radio work as well as some of … Get your chin in and keep reading…

New Record Added – “Cadet Choir and Glee Club 1962-63”

Band Sir! Posted on May 25, 2025 by Dan WolfeMay 25, 2025

Check out “Cadet Choir and Glee Club 1962-63”, another VFMA music Record that’s been added to BandSir.com! Many thanks to Bruce Daggett, 67, 69 JC, for providing the digital files. Bruce tells us, “Finally finished the second album and uploaded it just now, ‘Cadet Choir and Glee Club 1962-63.’ This ’62-’63 Glee Club [vinyl] recording wasn’t particularly well cared for by the person I got it from on E-Bay. Fortunately the software worked it’s magic in removing the worst of the pops and scratches. I cleaned up the album covers and retouched up some text on the backside.“ Bruce DaggettBand Sir!67, … Get your chin in and keep reading…

Dan’s Favorite Marches

Band Sir! Posted on February 14, 2025 by Dan WolfeFebruary 14, 2025

Since there’s no more music to add to the site, I thought I’d start adding playlists of the stuff to which I like to listen. What follows is a playlist of my favorite marches (not to be confused with My Favorite Martian,) and Colan Breugnon. I’m almost embarassed to say that I use this playlist when I am doing cardio, so I haven’t listened to it in a long time since I’ve not exercised in a long time. If you have a favorite playlist, feel free to send a list of the cuts to me and I’ll post it here. … Get your chin in and keep reading…
