  • Port Authority: the Soul of the Navy Band Country
    PORT AUTHORITY: THE SOUL OF THE NAVY BAND COUNTRY CURRENT TURNS 45 SPOTLIGHT ON MASTER CHIEF MUSICIAN KEVIN DINES t’s been an incredibly productive and rewarding couple of months for the Navy Band and Navy Music to kick off 2018. The Concert Band toured 12 states, performing in 21 cities and covering nearly 5,000 miles. IThe Sea Chanters wowed audiences in three states on their national tour. Already we’ve had Navy bands connecting with people all over the world, including a historic visit by the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson with the U.S. 7th Fleet Band to Da Nang, Vietnam. It’s awe inspiring to witness the great work our musicians do each and every day telling our Navy’s story. Our Music in the Schools program is headed in an exciting new direction. In this issue, Chief Musician Randy Johnson talks about our first adventure taking our educational outreach programs into schools around the world, thanks to a partnership with Defense Media Activity. Reaching out to young people and showing them the benefits of hard work and dedication is always a highlight for us. In May, we’ll be celebrating the 45th anniversary of Country Current with a special concert featuring former members of the group at Schlesinger Hall in Alexandria, Virginia. Country Current, always a crowd favorite, mixes flawless country and bluegrass playing with a down-to-earth performance style that never ceases to impress. We’re all looking forward to this opportunity to celebrate the decades of service this group has given our Navy.

    For Guy, Lestat’s biggest challenge was simply the amount of time it demanded. “It just never ended!” he laughs. “A show like that is a constantly evolving process. One thing always hinges on another—for example, the music might get changed, not because it isn’t working as music, but because it’s not working with whatever is going on onstage.” Babylon started work on Lestat in 2003, when Elton John began composing the score. “He’d come into the studio early and write a song, and then I would spend the rest of the day creating an arrangement,” he recalls. “Elton’s guitar player, Davey Johnstone, was also involved in that process. So it was basically Elton, Davey, and me in the studio with an engineer. We made pretty elaborate demos of all these songs. In fact, if you listen to the demos from beginning to end, it sounds like an album.” Guy also had a hand in crafting arrangements for the final production. “Since I was with Elton when he wrote the songs, I had first crack at the music,” he explains. “But overall, I’m just a small part of a team of people. We all did whatever it is we specialize in to make the show as good as possible. I was one of three orchestrators, along with Steve Margoshes and Bruce Coughlin. I also worked with an assistant programmer, John Roggie. But Lestat’s music director, Brad Haak, really had the most creative input.” As a longtime user of Yamaha Motif keyboards, Guy knew they’d be perfect for Lestat .

Welcome to the first installment of COAST TO COAST for 1998. I even remembered to put 1998 in the template. :) As you all know, Glenn has had a number of recent appearances, and they are reviewed in this issue. Plus, we have more news from Lennart, more transcriptions from Damien, stuff from Bill, and of course, submissions from all our other members. Hopefully, this will be a great issue! It is certainly a big issue, clocking in around 90k or so. Also, the poll responses are at the bottom, so you can look to see what other readers felt were the best albums of 1997! Finally, I have a slightly new look inside the issue. I made my section headers 79 characters wide, and I created them with the ##### symbols instead of =====. Also, the dividers (between individual submissions) have been switched from "-END-" to the ##### symbols. I think this makes each individual item more distinct from the others. Tell me what you think! Well, here we go again, with COAST TO COAST #32. Take care! Lewis ############################################################################### SUBMISSIONS ############################################################################### From: Lennart Hedenstrom <[email protected]> Subject: CTC: News roundup Hey all, There is not a lot of news to report this time.
