A WWII navy veteran, he has played in big bands, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Tex Beneke bands. With two directors, the RRVVCB plays a range of music from ballads to marches and from swing band to Broadway show tunes. There are also some TV theme songs, Dixieland, rock ’n’ roll and occasionally a Latin-dance piece.
