Speaking of Pete - he's an important part (as well as historian) of our own Silver Cornet Band which this year celebrates 150 years of musical service to the community. They'll be having a gala grand concert next week, August 10 at 7:30 in South Park. It will be preceded by a reception at 6:30. Including, rumor has it, cake. For those not into cake (freaks.) the concert will also include the world premiere of "Franklin Heritage," a new work written for the band by composer Robert Wall who will be directing the piece.
I also forgot to mention that the band chose a winner in their "design a pin" contest:
Congratulations to winning designer Paul Witttreich - now - where can I buy one? A pin that is, not an award winning designer...
Oil City's Transit Concert series started yesterday:
I was planning on going, but oy! The heat!

In a place more real to me, Pittsburgh's Anti-Flag will be playing "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Aug. 22. Before you decided to stay up, download two sample MP3s here:

Cornet. Coronet is crowns and bathroom tissues; cornets make music. But thanks for the plug!
