Moog Music Forum

Arkansas has the only Band Museum in the country. I thought of donating my stuff there but the last time I went in there the guy sold a lot of stuff.

He had stuff like a 2000 year old trumpet, contra and subcontrabass clarinets, a folded soprano sax, old stuff, lots of cool stuff.
THe last time I was in there he gave me a "Parliaments" 45. It was great!

I was kind of pissed at him cause he emptied the place though.

Ralph Swickard is my grandpa and I actually remember him tradeing in his moog for other equipment so he could play his last few months. I was visiting with my mother Daryl and my sister linda. Ralph my grandpa in his last few months got me into music even though I was only 6 when he past I learned a great deal from him I still play his violin and viola on a regular basis and I can't wait tell the next time I visit mycaunt to play his stienway parlor grand. He had an exceptional taste in instruments and music which I am greatly appreciate inheriting from him. I wish I could have at least half his strenght going out the way he did to stomach cancer. Love you grandpa we miss you and you will never be forgotten.

Thank you for sharing! It's great that your grandfather's instruments have found new life, and aren't rotting away in a basement or attic. Too often, that happens when a musician dies. Cheers!

If it's relevant, why not?

Actually a little over six years, not eight. If you're rusty on the math try Common Core
