A little something from the past

[ponyte]

Ran across this. Even giving the time past and recording technology, still brings a tear to my eye.

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to have to go back and check some of the other SMU related pieces shown in the adjacent index.

Here's a fun one. They really had a different class of musician back then. The things winning can do!

I'd say a real blast from the past!! About ponyte's post: my Dad had 2 "75" recordings of the SMU band---and 2 years ago when we moved, they were mistakingly thrown away. About the halftime performance I felt like I was there. My parents had season tickets, for several years, on the 45 for our games. The band's performance was great---hope we bring back the high-stepping soon!! Thanks for sharing.

Might have been 78's rather than 75's........

Uh yes..78's and also instead of 45's....And that 1982 game was the one we lucked out on with a controversial TIE game at Texas Stadium, but prevented us from being UN defeated and winning the National Championship from ...Penn State?

I've got a 78 of the Mustang Band under the direction of Cy Barkus doing a Peruna number that is hotter than this video thought about being. From 1927. I'll try and make a recording sometime.

I'd love to hear that.

I've got the Cline's Collegians version (digitized as an MP3). Same version as the video posted by ponyte.

Given to me by my accordionist. He found it at Half Price...

High Stepping is too non-High School for the current director.

There are always mustang band records at the Half Price on NW Hwy for some reason. One time they had like 5 copies of Mustang Jazz vol 1. If I owned a record player I'd snatch some up

Just an FYI, it's Barcus.
