My dad had Sousa marches, and “circus” marches, on an LP that he would put on, on his “hi-fi” and play them LOUD. I would get behind the couch and fall asleep. I LOVED listening to that music. When he died in 1997, my siblings made sure I got the record album. Have not listened to it since, but it is on the bookshelf in our family room.

I’ve got the tape but the Sony was lost in a move. Same here, we liked it too but he enjoyed his alone time with Souza.
‘Military music is to music what military law is to law’?
We lost him Christmas day 2013, complications from Agent Orange exposure.

The US Marine Band streams some of their concerts. They streamed one last night celebrating the 70th anniversary of Iwo Jima. Hooked the computer to the TV and played it through the sound system and it was awesome! There are some amazing musicians in that organization-the cream of the crop. If you want to be alerted to the streaming concerts sign up for their newsletter email list:
