[Trombone-l] Civil War Bands

[Ray Horton]

I know Steve Charpie!  He used to be in this area a lot and sub with us 
on trumpet.


Below is a link to a CD Steve gave me o f his pet project.   "Custer's 
Last Band" - music of Felix Vinatieri - who was, besides being Custer's 
band director, was a band leader during the Civil War, so this may be 
pertinent to the discussion.

When Steve was here I tried to talk him into he and I preparing some of 
the music for modern brass band, but he seemed exhausted by the project 
at the time.
