A rare afternoon double show at a classic brick ES in NJ, with a balcony filled with 5th graders! The band teacher had a photo of John Phillip Sousa in his room, and I commented on it. Seems he has the world’s largest collection of Sousa pix in the world. He was as big as Elvis or the Beatles in his musical world. The local band would meet him at the train station and march him into town….. Imagine…
We drove to the school, loaded in, played, packed up and left. Only 500 kids and teachers were the wiser.
