[Trombone-l] This won't ever happen again

[Samuel Keyser]

Dear Jason,

I'm really astonished that you have listed Robert Isele. Not because  
he doesn't belong there.  But because, when I was growing up in  
Washington, DC., I lived two blocks from the Marine Barracks at 8th  
and G Streets SE.  Every Sunday, I used to walk up to the Barracks to  
listen to the Marine Band play for some military ceremony, parading  
of the colors or some such.  But I went primarily to listen to Robert  
Isele. He marched in that band and I greatly admired him.

I wonder if you know the name Robert Clark?  He was the principal  
trombonist before Isele.  I know him because I took lessons from him  
at the Boys Club of Washington when he was already an old man.  I  
don't even know if he played then.  I had the lack of curiosity about  
the past of child, I'm afraid.

Thanks for remembering.

Jay
