Unfortunately Jack,

there are few Brass Bands that measure up to the Eureka.

This clip has them at their enchanting best. Willie Humphrey always seemed to find that bit extra playing with Euruka.

Right to program the Time Machine, sorry I have first use. 

Dancing to Oliver's Creole Band, next to walk in with Orin Blackstone as Bunk kicks off Moose March.  Finally to march and play alongside the infectious Eureka 1962.  Hmmm, have forgot anything ... Navarro, Clayton, Eldridge, Brownie, Red .............. sorry again but can't hand it over just yet.

Anyhow my Time Machine, about the size of a Telephone box, is rather small. If your a tad patient you can wait for the American version much bigger, can carry 100 piece marching band and has been fitted out with McDonalds and Burger King.

Richard   Back later, I've to pick up 3 Aussies. I've promised to take them see Harold Larwood. 

Any non-Americans present in 1962 New Orleans ~ Barry Martyn?
