Hi all,
While researching Arthur Griswold, the guy who played the Sousaphone on Sousa's world tour in 1910-11, I stumbled upon this photograph of August Helleberg, Sr., during that time, when he was a soloist with Conway's Band back in the States.
As it turns out, one of his sons, August Helleberg, Jr., was with Griswold on the world tour, playing tuba along with Emil Mix and Arthur Storch.
Enjoy!
Dave
