"One of the bands was the Perserverance Marching Band that included
trumpeter Bill Barnes, one of those heavyweights."


List mates & Will:

I played with Bill Barnes circa 1950, in both the Southampton Dixie,
Racing & Clambake Society Jazz Band, (Long Island NY) and  in the
Symphonic Six at Duke University. When he graduated from Duke, he became
a claims adjuster for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. Then he left for
a full time music job at Disney World for 30 years or so before
retiring. Anybody got an e mail address for him, or current
information?  I haven't seen or spoken to him since about 1962. We had
some interesting times back then.

If so, please write me off list.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone

PS. If you talk to him, ask him why we called him "the hook."
