Anchors Aweigh

[EightAsterisk]

I'm reaching out to any kind Naval Officer, member of the Naval Band, or knowledgeable musician: My grandfather attended the U.S. Navy School of Music in 1942, focus was alto saxophone. We know he played for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and FDR at the White House on Aug. 5, 1942. Played in England/Belgium in Navy until 1947. Very sadly died at 33 and it would mean the world to my grandmum and me to have any sort of recording where he may have been recorded. Thank you.

@jparment Thank you for what you serving and for giving me a look and listen.

[shaolinwarrior87]

thanks for the post, I am serving the Navy right now as a Hospital Corpsman ...this clip sure made the Navy look fun and its probably where all the stereotypes of a sailor came from lol

[Gryg73]

@shaolinwarrior87 Thank you my friend and I salute you for what you are doing. GBU.

[treynich87]

@shaolinwarrior87, of course we didn't get the gay stereotype until the Village People! Go figure, lol. I know one of my pal's from back home asked if I could sing and tap dance.

[zipper179]

Like your father, I, too, served in the US Navy..And, to think, some of my favorite actors were in the Navy..: Kirk Douglas Harry Belafonte Rod Steiger Robert Taylor Douglas Fairbanks, Jr Ernest Borgnine Tony Curtis Paul Newman Jackie Cooper Yep! We were well, represented..!

[debbiebaize]

My dad was in the USN WWII. He also was in Guam, in the Asiatic Pacific Theater. He served aboard the USS President Jackson, APA 18, Troop Transport Ship.

[zipper179]

@csps123 If you have cable tv, turn to Turner Classics, or, TCM, and, in time, that's where they show them, and, without commercials, too..
