Comment on Town Bands, a link to our musical past by robert medley

You might be right Ken. My experience in town bands began in the 1940s and continued until just a few years ago. I belonged to at least 10 town bands. My experience though has only been here in Wisconsin. I know from friends that Minnesota has some well known town bands.
Its natural for each of us to claim the most number and best bands to be in
our state so I’ll agree with my friend Kenton—to a point—;^)

I would have to disagree with Robert on this one.

Although, there aren’t nearly the number of town bands as there once was, there are still many still in operation. Off the top of my head, I can think of a 1/2 dozen with 50 miles of me, and I live in rural Pennsylvania.

Here is a list of Community bands: http://boerger.org/c-m/groups.shtml However, it has none of the names of the bands in my local area, so it is far from complete.

Hi,
I have a Conn double-bell baritone (both bells forward)ca. 1909.
It needs restoration and has three valves w/two off to the side.
Are there any pictures available of this model? It needs a leadpipe.
Thank you,
-L.
