- by Richard J Buxbauim (Dick)I had a theory and this bio confirmed it’s a possibility; I dreamed? that the Duke’s talents included violin and clarinet originally; this seems to corroborate my memory. Of course my memory is of the fine Bandmaster he was at VF and how fortunate I was to be a member of his Bands! ( a long time ago as I graduated VF in 1956 after four years in the Band).
- by Dan WolfeIn reply to JEFF CHRISTOPHER. Hey Jeff just getting your message. I’ll take a look at that and I’ll make some corrections as soon as I have the opportunity. All is well here in Ohio and I hope all is well where you are! Be well and stay in touch. Dan
- by Richard (Dick) BuxbaumI enthusiastically second these thoughts, and especially those of Wes Weseleskey who was a Bandmate of mine!I miss him much.!
- by JEFF CHRISTOPHERHey Dan, hope you are doing well in Ohio. I did a little “research” and I believe Track 1 on the 1970-1971 Concert #1 is the march “Aufwarts” by Josef Gnos. Aufwarts translated from German, I believe, means “Upward”, which is the name of the March we played way back then! I remember playing it during my Plebe Year – 70/71. Since it’s a March, I thought you might want to add it to your new Dan’s Favorite Marches list. All the best! Jeff Christopher BTW, I like your new “Favorites” format.
- by Dan WolfeIn reply to Norm Arndt. Norm, You are correct about Black Jack. I had forgotten about it, to tell you the truth. Thanks much for the correction! Be well, Dan
- by Dan WolfeIn reply to Ed Schroeder ‘61a ‘63c. Morning, Ed! Please email me at BandSir.com@gmail.com and I’ll be glad to send you my address and get them posted. Dan
- by Dan WolfeIn reply to Gerry Maynard. Black Jack IS on here. I had forgotten about that one. Your reference is correct, sir! Thanks for checking in and for the correction. Dan
- by Gerry MaynardLove the picks Dan. Great memories. Loved Colas Breugnon Overture. Per Hugh’s comment, if I’m not mistaken, Black Jack (and Scipio) is on the “Spring Festival” album, 69-70.
- by Ed Schroeder ‘61a ‘63cDan: I have several CD’s of the band. I’m looking for a good home for them. If you would like, I’d be more than happy to send to you; just provide me your address.
- by Norm ArndtI always liked Hands across the Sea. BTW, Black Jack followed by Scipio is in there I’m sure as I listen to it all the time. lol
