You are correct on the name. I remember my grandpa telling me all the stories. He played the big stand up bass. I miss him dearly.

My dad played in the Earl Russell Orchestra (he's in the front row, playing sax, on the right). From what I understand (and this is only from oral history), they just came up with the name "Earl Russell" out of the blue. There never was a person of that name in the orchestra or associated with the orchestra. They played a lot of dances in the small towns around the area. Very popular.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02638345231391682062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-77067443490819774822013-09-11T15:56:44.567+01:002013-09-11T15:56:44.567+01:00And long may the Expedient Brass Band march on.And long may the Expedient Brass Band march on.Manfaranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672026288937285646noreply@blogger.com
