Re: Yankee Brass Band
Have fun, Mark. I've heard a lot about that band through a former Eb cornet player in the band, Kirby Jolly. He was my junior high band director and after college, I played in several of his various bands on Long Island. One was the Old Bethpage Restoration Village Brass Band - similar to the Yankee Brass Band, I would think. I played with them for over 30 years. Fun times!! I just spoke with Kirby last week.
