Love you, Always, Dad 💜

Roger, thanks for sharing all these great videos!

Great sound band!

That photo featured in "Look" magazine in 1960... Couldn't be. Dee Stewart is in the photo, and he came to the PO in 1962.

Champ!

1974 was my first year of school in Philly (PMA/UARTS). The orchestra was fabulous and the brass section a true inspiration.

Sounds like fun, Roger! 🙌

Roger - Hi. Decades ago, you kindly and generously sent me the sheet music to your album (I have 4 copies of the CD). After some pretty big upheavals in my life, and several moves - I ashamed that I can't find it. I would love for our quartet to perform "It Is Well With My Soul" - your version is astoundingly beautiful. One of the guys remarked - how can we get through it without tears? I had also attempted to contact you by mail (letter returned, no forwarding address) and phone (bad number?) - I hope that all is well?!. Could I so impose as to ask for the sheet music again? We would be honored to sing this song and seek to give others inspiration - we are "Citrus Blend", the Barbershop Harmony Society Sunshine District 2024 Senior Quartet Champions. God Bless you!

Sincerely a Jewel ✨💖✨. Thank You!

Which "Snake Hips" is Ella referring to? Earl Snake Hips Tucker kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3PWiZqOiq5smNE or Ken “Snakehips” Johnson kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXKcnnmMo7B-a7M Boh are from the period she speaks.

Very well done, Roger! Yeah, it was fun. 🥰

This is call natural raw talent. She never took a singing lesson, was just blessed with this talent. Today’s generation only knows singers who need auto tune to be able to sing.

Instrument he got in Belgium! Mahillon?

Delightful! I didn't know that the trombonists, especially Glenn Dodson, could sing, too. Thanks for making this video available to us.

Nice to see you are still sharing your gift. You were my choir director at the Methodist Church in Hereford when I was in elementary school. I have thought of you often over the years as I have led the choir at my church. I learned so much from you. May God continue to bless you.

Listening again two years later, you sound as good as you did two years ago!

I was born there

Great work Roger. Do you have the arrangements? I play in the Imperial Brass Band with a decent trumpet section with a good Eb Cornetist and soli cornet. Mark Ridenour is soloing with us this summer. Any of these would make a great special sectional piece. You might know Ron Waiksnoris our conductor who was solo cornet and director of the New York Staff Band. I think he'd love this!

I guess I'm a little late in noticing this but thank you so much for putting together this video, very interesting and informative. I remember you teaching me the grace note tonguing. It looks like you're enjoying retirement from your videos which is well-deserved. God bless, Fred Reimers

JUST WATCHED THE ENTIRE FILM ALL OVER AGAIN ! OH WHAT A REMEMBRANCE ! THANKS AGAIN ROGER !

Wonderful ! Having grown up in Bryn Mawr,Pa in the '60s and 'early '70s. I heard you many many times in the orch.

S W E E T W E E T ❤❤❤

Must have been a Wonderful Time to be Alive….

Was that Signature Sound?

This is really fun music, Roger! Are the arrangements published, and is the CD available?

Roger….. I once again enjoyed listening to your BBS in Brass. I fondly recall the Portland memories of you introducing this amazing album. BTW I do have the original Vinyl. Ken Buckner now living in Florida.

I have so much enjoyed this film. The music is fantastic and there is so much to see in the scenes. I am convinced that those were better times.

I love this so much!!!!!

Ella has been quoted as saying “The only thing better than singing is more singing.” I would say that the only thing better than Ella is more Ella.

Thank you Roger, for posting you all singing "Creole Cutie." I used to sing this with my father & his chorus chapter friends after rehearsals. A fun old chestnut💈Fond memories indeed

Amazing! A true gift.

God bless you 😊

What a wonderful video! The trpt community’s a buzz about the passing of Frank Kaderabek this evening. I appreciate you sharing this with us.

Roger, I taught piano at The Choir College when you were there. I was Dr McCurdy's Assistant at First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia and commuted with him 2 or 3 days a week for 3 or 4 years. I taught mostly non-organ majors - did I teach you? Robert Prince

A completely different time. This was America and all these things were created by Americans for Americans. Make America Great Again.

Why would they go through all the trouble to build and lay tracks when they had to be pulled by mules? Why would they build it without the proper electric infrastructure to run it? They didn't even use steam

Thank You!

That's a neat trick at 7:45- it looks like Nolan Miller takes the passage up to the C, giving David Wetherill a bit of a breather before the passage to the E!

❤❤❤

Thanks this is great. I met him once in a repair shop and he gave me a lesson. Very nice guy.

Sounds great, Roger. Spectacular playing -- as always!! 🙌

Thanks for sharing. If only they'd preserved it instead of ripping it out. The public transit in the area nowadays really has nothing on this former glory.

What a great show! They don't seem to do that kind of thing anymore. What a shame. Fitzgerald and Previn are two colossal talents and seeing them together is a real treat.

Beautifully played and very special for me as I hadn't sung this hymn for over 50 years!!

Yes thank you! Never get tired of watching my brother and all of Nightlife !!

Felicitation depuis la France 😉👍🇫🇷
