Subject: RE: Question: Ashokan Farewell
I hope this is just another failure to communicate thing. I do think, as was said, that a typo happened. Otherwise the discussion makes no sense at all---other than to point out a military band version of Jay's song.

Long before there was a Watergate Scandal, I used to go down to the Watergate by the Potomac River in D.C., and twice a week there were glorious band concerts done by one or the other of the national military bands. They did things like "Sinple Gifts" and R. Vaughn-William's "English Folksong Suite" or various works by Aaron Copeland. These were rendered, to my ear at least as well as any performance by good symphony orchestras. (That was 1964.)
