Caballeros Alumni Remember Ralph Silverbrand @ The 2011 Plymouth Show

[almailman]

Nice tribute to Mr. Silverbrand. Met him, Don Angelica and Jim D'Amico at a Howard Johnson on the Mass. Pike following a Mission Drums contest MANY years ago. It was like talking to the gods of Olympus, and yet they couldn't have been more gracious. Saw Ralph again a few years ago in Scranton. Again, a gentleman.

Few drum majors reach that Pantheon of being icons: Ralph, Wally Curtis, "Wild Bill" Hooten. There are few others. Maybe Rizzo if he'd come out of his shell. ;-}

A true gentlemen and nicer guy you would not meet.
