Notas del episodio
In Episode 4, we talk with Dr. Kirby Jolly about his time with the Old Bethpage Village Brass Band, how it has evolved over the years, and his view of the mission of the band. Dr. Jolly tells us some stories about his time performing with the Goldman Band. His wealth of experience with 19th century brass band music is vast, and we enjoyed the opportunity to pick his brain!
