...realize how much this music means to the students we serve, though. Periodically, instead of awakening to alarm clocks or trucks on the loading dock, we are awakened by Robert, the French horn player, who likes to warm up out on the front lawn at about 7:45 in the morning. And we are all thankful that the small building across from our windows is home to the bassists and not the trumpet players, because they are outside practicing all the time. The lawns and small practice sheds here are constantly full of music. These high school kids...

Blavat had crashed Bob Horn's early "Bandstand" show when he was 13, and somehow avoided having sex with the host. Instead, he won lots of dance contests and soon was running The Committee, a panel of teens that chose records and monitored the troops. At 20 he got on radio and quickly established himself as a pioneer rock archivist, running perhaps the first-ever oldies show. And not something simple, like pre-Army Elvis. Wildly...
