Comments: It has been such a joy to hear the old Salvation Army music. It brings back such wonderful memories. It has given me hours of musical pleasure and blessing, and i thank you for it. This is our history and stands witness that it truly once was William Booths mission to preach to the unconverted. Army of Salvation Army of the lord god bless you Kev Sinclair Newton Abbot England

Comments: Thank you for all the wonderful memories that your site has given me. All the old wonderful 78’s brought back wonderful memories of my dear dad who played the G trombone in Chelmsford Citadel Band It is a very distinctive sound & in some cases (only some) has a better result than its modern day Trigger Troms. I have also enjoyed the 1963 Festival of Gospel Song I was part of this 1000 strong choir with my father, mother brother & sister plus another 995 Salvationists. Norman Bearcroft was a perfectionist who had rehearsed every songster brigade at their own citadels prior to the all-day rehearsal at the Albert Hall Where the SA Fanfare Trumpets were used for the first time. Everything went of perfect & we were all very proud of the Army Brian Hanchett (England)

Comments: Hi Ian; I am a retired officer with 16 years’ experience with the New York Staff Band having played under 5 bandmasters, Holz, Post, Smith, Bowen & Waiksnoris. Over the years it seemed everyone wanted to give me their old 78s and of course, pack rat that I am, I always took them, not worrying whether I had duplicates or not. I just listened to Herbert Twitchen play I love him better every day which I had heard from the record previously. To be able to come to your site is fantastic. If there are any 78s that you are missing and would like, I could always look to see if I have it. I always felt that our THQ music Department should establish a recording museum to preserve our old recordings but could never persuade them to do so. But you have created it on line which is even better. Congratulations

Comments: Strange how an Army upbringing never leaves you. My wife heard me playing one of the old marches, and her arms involuntary went through a timbrel routine, and that’s after 25years. Thanks for keeping our heritage alive. John Smillie (Hamilton Scotland)
