What a wonderful achievement. I have been made aware of the website only this morning, but I have already enjoyed listening to some of the old ‘proper’ Army marches, as well as one or two of the heart songs of the Army. Many, many thanks for all you have given to this project.

What a wonderful treasury. As a latecomer to The Salvation Army, I missed growing up with the trad music as well as the Joy Strings. What a delight. What a surprise as I stumbled across this.

Hi Ian I have so enjoyed this website since I discovered it. As a kid I used to listen to every record of cornet and trumpet players I could get a hold of. I’d play along with them (not aware that in many cases music was available). Whatever they did, I found a way to do by experimenting. Got my first High D by playing a High C and then standing on tip-toe. Not orthodox, but it worked for me until I learned better. The old 78’s of Salvation Army soloists was a treasure trove. Thanks for digging up that treasure again for me.

I received a link to your site in an email from a friend this week. Congratulations on building such a treasure trove. I am a life-long Salvationist, now 80, and the child of officer parents. The memories that have been stirred already would fill a book. My prayer is that your dedication will be used to reach many, many people who once enjoyed being part of this dedicated music and that God will use it for Kingdom Glory. Thank you.
