Hello Ian, My daughter, Janet Kirby in Germany, sent me the ‘Songs for little children’. I cried my eyes out as so many memories came back. Brought up in the SA in Holland and moved to London in 1957. Was a cadet/officer in the 60s and sang in the Women’s Choir conducted by Joy Webb. Thank you ever so much for recording all the SA music. William Booth quote--- Soap, Soup, Salvation

Wow..... what a wonderful site. Beautiful Salvation Army music from over the years. A few records brought back happy childhood memories when my father brig. Arie de Graaf played them over and over again. I could sing a long after a while. Nowadays I am (again) a member of the Salvation Army Band, Amsterdam West Band and we play a few pieces which are at this site as well. Thank you very much for all the effort. What a job. Much appreciated you share this with all of us. Kind regards

Hi, My name is Minerva, I from San Felipe of Chile. I am very grateful to your page because my father from 30 years ago, was looking for the tune ‘Songs of the Morning’ by Eric Ball. He did not know his name or author, only that opened the radio transmission Minería of Chile. This radio stopped working a long time. Thank you very much and great page.

Ian: Can I join the amazing list of those who have been captured and raptured by your amazingly nostalgic and inspiring site. I was fortunate enough to have played many of the pieces contained in it and still mentally put in the eupho part every time I listen ...which is often. Can I also say how great it is to share in your guest book - I hope you find it a source of encouragement should you ever becoming weary in well doing - what a sound it would be if we all could unite in some fantastic march

What a great site. Anyone over the age of fifty and a true Salvation Army bandsman should have this site in their favourites. I have over 500 records and tapes that I am alwys going to put to cd or flash drive. Keep up the good work. I played soprano cornet in the Detroit Citadel/Dearborn Heights and Royal Oak Citadel bands for over 35 years. I am now living in Florida and playing 1st cornet in the Clearwater Citadel Band. Many current and former bandsman pass thru our corp regularity. What a joy to hear these old numbers that I have played in years past. You are to be congratulated.

I have recently discovered your Web Site - What a feast of SA music. Having been commissioned a YP Bandsman in 1940 and played in many Brass Bands - including SA Bands - for over 50 years I find your presentation to be just what the doctor ordered. Congratulations on an excellent compilation.

My 92-year-old father was brought up a Salvationist in London and has retained a lifelong committed interest. He is too old for the computer world, but there is nothing he likes better than visiting me on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when I put the headphones on him and him into your web-site for an hour or so. Thank you for preparing such a comprehensive collection of music and songs.
