What did he play? I was in the Winds during the 85-86 and 86-87 seasons (the second Rose Parade I marched was as an alumnus). His name is familiar, but I don't think that was the name of the Winds' drum major -- and I've got a higher-rez version of that photo I pointed to, if you want to try to pick him out. Not all the members made the trip to D.C., however, and around Christmas time, we'd march close to two hundred people.
I was kinda glad to find, a couple of years ago, that the Winds had a web page. When my wife arrives from Nashville in a few weeks, I'll see if I can digitize the LP they put out in the seventies, and add those songs to my .MP3 collection. Can't hear "Tiger Rag" too many times :>
In what context were we worshipped -- did you march in a band yourself? I recall that Long Beach was the consistent Bluto to our Popeye, and had been since the earth cooled, if one listened to the old-timers.
