Seattle Cascades Drum and Bugle Corps is a youth activity that has roots in the Fife and Drum Corps of the Civil War era. Through the years following bugles were added to these groups and after WW2, Drum Corps were present and sponsored by VFW organizations in just about every major city and neighborhoods throughout the United States. They were a patriotic expression present in Parades, community celebrations and soon had their own competitions and standards. Through the years this became an art form of its own, The Music became more complex, wider accepted instrumentation. The competitions were held across the United States as corps from every corner of the country competed. Through the 70s to today, drum corp has evolved adding dance and theater to become a unique form of artistry that can rival a Broadway show. Drum Corp develops a unique brand of performers who have learned a strong work ethic, teamwork, and a willingness to develop community. With the economics involved, there is only a fraction of drum corps competing on a national level today. The Seattle Cascades is one of the oldest drum corps in existence, Tune in, enjoy this window into this unique and amazing kids activity as we discuss what it is like to grow up in drum corp and reap the rewards as an adult

Larry Jay Country Music Singer song writer

It’s been said that country-pop singer-songwriter Larry Jay’s songs are “Five chords and the truth.” The New York native, now residing in California, injects that truth with hopeful lyrics and tasty melodies, to create his own brand of Award-winning Americana-tinged southern fried music. A first runner-up in multiple songwriting contests, including the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Larry Jay says he started writing and performing music “To set my soul free.” Jay has performed at the famed and historic Troubadour in Los Angeles, and he’s shared the stage with Neil Young sideman and member of Crazy Horse, Sonny Mone. “When I perform, it’s just me and my guitar, and my rhythm tracks looper. I like to keep things intimate. While I’ve been told I sound like Keith Urban, I think I sound more like Neil Young. Either way, being told I’m a really great songwriter is the best compliment I could ever receive.” Larry Jay shows off his songwriting skills on his latest single, “Here’s To Us,” in addition tp to his #1 iTunes international smash single “Wow” featuring Caeland Garner of Team Blake on The Voice and his “end the pandemic” anthem, “Worldwide Party Day.” You can hear Larry Jay weekly via Livestream on his facebook page at https://bit.ly/3lh4AYD. When he’s not focusing on his performances and, of course, writing new songs, Larry volunteers with the local VA Hospitals and addiction recovery centers.

I'm Steven Jenkins.
I am a recovering piano student. After years of struggling to learn how to play piano, quitting piano lessons, and then starting them again, I stumbled on a concept that helped me to finally understand how to play piano freely. I was able to apply the concept in my playing, and now this method is helping thousands of other people who just like I was, are also struggling to play piano.
