Alan, I've missed this thread! Are you okay?

Got back last night after 2 weeks away, timeshare vacationing in Orlando FL. Had a nice time. Did not attempt any Song Of The Day activity while we were there. Did take 1 of my horns along on the trip so I could participate once again with the Lakeland Concert Band -- 2 Monday rehearsals & 1 Sunday concert.

We had a nice time in Florida, & now it's nice being back home again, resuming Song Of The Day activities (with more help again today by my grandson).

Glad to hear you had a good time.
 
Still crazy after all of these years. (S & G)

Can't believe this was that long ago. Enjoyed hearing it.

Archive Of Pre-TUG Songs Of The Day On FaceBook.

Lately my grandson has been providing major assistance & participation in selecting & transmitting Song Of The Day links, here & on FaceBook (same song each day at both places). This morning, he said, "Papa, what was the 1st Song Of The Day?"

"I don't remember, Graham," I said. "Let's take a look."

So we did. Turns out it's I Love Onions, recorded by Susan Christie (1966) & linked on FaceBook June 29, 2009.

Since then, a new Song Of The Day has gone on FaceBook each day that I'm in town. Starting September 2, 2009, each new FaceBook Song Of The Day is mirrored on TUG-BBS.

Alan, so many of your SOTD choices remind me of Sunday nights in the late 60's/early 70's when my Dad would sit in the kitchen and play his harmonica. He'd start right after our "light supper" and still be playing a couple hours later when all us kids would get sent to bed. I don't know if any of us ever asked him why the harmonica was saved for Sunday nights, but I do know it sat on the top of the fridge for the rest of the week and none of us would dare to touch it.

"Tie Me Kangaroo Down" jumped right off your list - thanks for the memories. :)

OH! HEY!! Look at THAT!! Your "Officer Krupke" is from a stage show that's near and dear to me - I sewed the flags for that show, Blast! and have friends who performed in it. Never thought I'd see it here. :D

It evolved from the DCI (drum corps) group, Star of Indiana, and includes quite a few old-time drum corps standards. My connection comes from the local WGI color guard group that I sew/volunteer for - many of their performers and staff cross over into drum corps, and the very best were involved with Blast! The show opened in London then moved to New York and on to different US cities. They were in NY on 9/11 and my friends have shown me haunting pictures of an empty Broadway before they closed early to move on.

Of course you picked one of the only numbers in the show that didn't feature flag work, but "Medea" might be a good choice some day when you're out of ideas. ;) You're a horn guy so "Lost" will appeal to you, "Malaguena" has beautiful choreography, and the "Battery Battle" is a stunning drum line. Search around for "Blast DCI" on YouTube - I think you'll be entertained. And if you'd like, I can copy the CD for you.

Wow. My one and only claim to the stage, and you found it. :eek:
 
Blast, Etc.

Hi SueDon --

Sure, I'd love to get a copy of the CD. My son & my cousin & I saw a Blast performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC several years ago -- a terrific show. By now most of the performers have moved on, I suppose. I hope they're still playing. It was a memorable evening. The 3 of us were on the front row of the 1st balcony.

Thanks for your tune recommendations for Song Of The Day. Once the current Teletubbies marathon is complete, I could go for some of those.

More recently, The Chief Of Staff & I saw an outstanding performance at Ft. Meyer VA by the Rodney Mack Philadelphia Big Brass -- 5 trumpets, tuba, 3 trombones, set drummer, 2 horns. Hardly any stage business, by contrast with Blast, but marvelous playing in several distinctly contrasting musical styles. The performance was part of the current Tuba Euphonium Conference being hosted by The U.S. Army Band. Rodney Mack's group came on after intermission. The 1st half of the show comprised performances by the U.S. Coast Guard Band Brass Quintet & the U.S. Naval Academy Band Brass Quintet & the U.S. Army Band Brass Quintet. A great show, before & after halftime.

Thanks for mentioning the Blast connection -- a group that went from the marching field to the concert hall. As it happens, a good friend has another DCI connection -- he played in the Cadets Of Bergen County, had some involvement with them after he got too old to keep playing with them, & still has some connection now. Meanwhile, he plays tuba in the Potomac Brass Quintet (Of Virginia) & the Cathedral Brass, in addition to holding down a responsible day job.

I just sent this link (the Tie me Kangaroo Down song) to an older brother, who sang this song in a school event on stage--he was in grade school and I must have just started, but it will always stay with me. Teacher had them slap cardboard posters against their knees in time with the music. All I'm curious about is where did she get the idea for this song?
