I did it my way. – Tom Ford
His final solo with the Springfield Municipal Band at the Douglas Park Bandshell.
Sunset, a hot night, an eager audience, and a milestone in the career of a man of music.
Tom will have finished 45 years with the band, 37 of those as the music librarian for the band. That involves a lot of boxes of music, hauled every week from concert to home. Singing solos for many of those years, with his great Irish tenor.
Thanks for the memories, Tom!
Neat photo and great story, Matt. I had no idea Tom was with the Municipal Band… and for so many dedicated years. Wish I could have heard his solo. Thanks for the shot and for the memories that give gusto to it.
