Isaac Fiske Biography

Post by dvtuba »

Looking for anything in the way of a biography for Fiske. Book, link, blurb...anything, really.

Thanks, folks.

There is the Cornet Compendium,
Horn-u-copia, and
through Margaret Downie Banks' 'A Brief History of the Conn Company (1874-present)*' you may be able to get to stuff from the National Music Museum in Vermillion, South Dakota (among others).
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
