My dad worked for Sufferin' Pacific for 42 years, but not in a band.

Actually, I think they were railroaders. I play in the Two Harbors City Band. That band got it's start in 1897 from the railroad band of that era. The railroad band was employees and the band was used as entertainment for the families. Remember, those towns were railroad towns developed in specific locations to attract and keep workers. These were remote areas so the companies had to provide housing and entertainment to get and keep workers. I have met and played with members of that early band. Part of the job application process was questions on what instrument they played.
Don't think I saw a year, or did I miss it? Notable that the band
is somewhat integrated.
PS-Dennis, 10 Meters has daily openings--I'm hearing several beacons.
