Nous venons d'apprendre la nouvelle de la mort du Lieut. Colonel Dr Ray Steadman Allen a l'age de 92 ans. A Dieu soit l'honneur et la gloire pour la vie et le service de ce talentueux musicien. Car il a beaucoup fait pour la musique salutiste chorale et fanfare de l’Armée du Salut.
I'm unsure that this recording is the ISB. The photo is the the Holllywood Tabernacle Band, taken approximately 1967, prior to the band's Canadian Tour. The Photo is taken on the plaza of the Dorthy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles. My dad Pete Slack Bb Tuba front row, fourth in from the left is still very close friends with Bandmaster Ron Smart (living in Australia) first on the left as you are looking at the photo. The Corps officer was Captain Bob Tobin (promoted to glory) far right, also first row. Great memories!! Pete Slack is now 84 years old and still playing Bb Tuba in the Tustin Ranch, CA Corps Band.
Peter Slack The pic is 1969. The ISB is playing the march. I used the Tab Band pic with it for some reason; have forgot why now. I knew Pete Slack well back in the day. I am on the back row of this pic. Cheers
The I.S.B. in those days had a brilliant sound and style, albeit with a mixture of "legends" and lesser players. Bernard Adams added "class" to the music.
As a very proud salvationist, this is a fantastic performance of a great March by the one of the best brass bands in the world. God bless the ISB. P. S when are they going to tour africa?
Gloria eterna a dio padre nei secoli dei secoli senza fine gloria eterna a Gesù cristo nei secoli dei secoli senza fine Gesù cristo tu sei il re dei re tu sei il signore dei signore tu sei il principe del re della terra sei l Agnello senza . MAcchia di dio morto in croce una volta per sempre per il perdono dei peccati di tutti amen amen amen
I missed my point, that The Tabernacle Band also recorded this piece on an album cut for the band's tour on which my mom Betty Slack also sings "Never Quit the Field" with Bill and Bruce Broughton.
Peter Slack Hi, I am Pete Whtehead from Blackpool, England. I played in the old Inglewood Citadel and Hollywood Tab bands with your dad over 40 years ago. I knew both your parents very well. Glad that your dad is doing well; hard to believe he is now 84. How in your mom Betty these days? I have the recording of her singing the Bruce Broughton piece you mentioned.
