I’m delighted to have discovered this wonderful website, which evokes so many memories. As a child I was taken regularly (three times on a Sunday) to the Army since my father was the Songster Leader, so I was seeped in the traditional Army music, and only now do I realise how much I value this (perhaps because it’s not so readily accessible now.) My father suffered a stroke at a young age and has been disabled for many years. He is now bed-ridden, and although he cannot speak he still has his mental faculties. Today I played him some of the music from your site, especially pieces by Leslie Condon who was a personal friend of his (I remember him visiting our house and using my bedroom.) Listening to the music was very moving for him and brought back some happy memories as well as being a rich source of blessing. I just wanted to let you know the impact you are having on other people’s lives. Thank you for your continued commitment to this site. God bless you.

Hi Ian ... You have been a very busy man the past few days with so many new albums. Thanks to Pauline Hobbs and Ralph Kerr, they have brought back many good memories. I remember singing in Massey Hall, Toronto a few times for the annual Festival with the Woodstock Songsters. Maybe if Ralph reads this he can let me know if he is a son of Major Pete Kerr from the late 50’s. Keep up this beautiful work Ian.

What a great website. My father Lt. Col Carl Sr. was from Detroit Citadel Corps where my grandfather PMJ Lindstrom was corps officer and my father played his trombone. After my dad became an officer he and my mother Gladys nee Robinson (From St Thomas Ontario Canada) were stationed in Ypsilanti Michigan, Omaha Neb and finally Chicago. My dad then became bandmaster of the Chicago Staff Band. He was in thiis position for 2 different times. I also played in the band under Vic Danielson. What wonderful memories. Thank God the Salvation Army and it’s one of a kind music.

I now live in Irlam Greater Manchester and soldier at Sale Corps where I was the BM for 5 years and I discovered your amazing site when I was living in California where I was working for the SA. Regarding the Regal Zonophone 78’s I have a reasonable collection of the actual discs. I often log on to your web site and enjoy the nostalgia of it all.
