Brass Band

Just a tip to you people who are into cornets & brass band music or who have never heard brass band music. If you go to
http://www.bbc.co.uk , and then select "Radio" in the top bar, and then select "BBC Radio 2", and from there select "Listen Again", you'll get a dropdown list of programs you can hear. Most of the way down the left hand column there is one titled "Listen to the Bands" that features, each week, a selection of British Brass Band music.
I guarantee you that if you haven't heard a good brass band before, you'll be amazed by what some of these folks are up to. You just have to get past the announcer's voice!
"The Debutante" by Clarke is in this week's selection and played by the Grimethorpe Colliery Coal Band. Worth listening too, I'd say.

I heard my first brass band concert two weeks ago... wow... 57 years old and never heard anything like that.
It was the River City Brass out of PA. 28 players...
They have several CDs. It made me want to go out and get a cornet... that's for sure.
