Description

Tools of the Bandmaster ~ The Leader of the Band ~ Dedicated to my Father "A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait He earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand" "The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band" From "The Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsocZrEcp0Y This picture was taken during my recent 50th reunion, in the bandroom my father directed in, at the school I graduated from in 1964. My Father is almost 90, very active, and constantly works to learn new things. He cares for my Mother in the home.. Thank you for viewing my gallery and your comments.
