Re: Assistance re: Solo search & Old Brass Band Radio Broadcasts

Robin,
Regarding your inquiry number 1., I take it you are referring to Wilf Mountain who
did of course live in Hamilton, in fact was the Bandmaster of The Salvation Army
Hamilton Temple Band for a stint back in the late fifties and early sixties before
going south to Los Angeles for a long spell prior to coming back to Canada and
taking over the Salvation Army North York Band in the seventies. He suffered an
aneurism (sp) while conducting a band practice one evening and never made it. A
terrible loss. A great musician and a top notch, if not the best, band trainer in
the business at the time.
Anyway I digress. I am checking into my Salvation Army Music catalogue(s) and will
get back to you as I am quite sure this is a Salvation Army publication and if so,
it will still be available in some source, That is the piece Invincible.
If you find any else out, please contact me directly at my address noted above.
Regards
Larry White
Cariboo Hill Temple Band
Vancouver BC
