In Memory - Charles "Toby" Daily
Charles Charles Ray Daily was born February 25, 1935 in Ponca City, Oklahoma to the late Edward C. and Sarah (Andrew) Daily. The nickname "Toby" was given to him as a child by his beloved uncle, Walt Andrew, and it served him well all his life.

Toby attended Ponca City schools where his love of music was nurtured. He played his first dance job while in high school. Attending Phillips University in Enid, OK, he continued his study of and performance of music, graduating in 1957.

Toby taught music at all levels from Kindergarten through 12 during his career, starting in Oklahoma and Kansas. The family relocated to Broomfield, Colorado in 1964, where he was employed by Adams County School District #14 until his retirement in 1990. Throughout his teaching career he nurtured and inspired a love for music to countless students, including his own daughters.

In Denver, he discovered a large fraternity of professional musicians who became wonderful friends and remained very important to him throughout his life. Toby played in jazz combos and large dance bands on trombone and bass. He was an excellent singer of big band ballads and loved doing it. Classical music was also a favorite and a huge highlight for him was attending a live Pavarotti concert.

After retiring, Toby enjoyed traveling with his wife, Marilyn, and spent winter months with a community of close friends in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Toby passed away Friday, February 15, 2013, in Boulder after suffering a severe head injury. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Marilyn; three daughters: Joy Chitwood of Fallon, NV; Joni Bettge of Broomfield, CO; and Kimberly Matagora of Eugene, OR; son-in-law Reginald Matagora; seven grandchildren: Zachary Chitwood of Berlin, Germany; Nathan and Caitlin Chitwood of Reno, NV; Rachel Matagora of Eugene, OR; R.J. Matagora of Riverside, CA; Sara Bateman and Grace Diehl of Broomfield; three great grandsons; brother, Donald Daily of Ponca City, OK; aunt Wilma Andrew; a multitude of nieces and nephews; and his treasured Yorkie, Mikey. He also leaves to mourn a multitude of neighbors and dear friends, both here and in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, February 22, at 10:00 am at the Christian Church of Broomfield, 12601 Sheridan Blvd, Broomfield CO. A Celebration of Life will be held following the services at The Chateaux at Fox Meadows, 13600 Xavier Lane, Broomfield, CO, from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests any memorial contributions be directed to the Boulder Humane Society or the Salvation Army.

Management never meant for the lockout to last this long, he said.

You Should Be Outraged by What is Being Done to Our Postal Service
 

Photo courtesy of The Stand. www.TheStand.org

You are probably hearing that the Post Office is "in crisis" and is cutting back Saturday delivery, laying people off, closing offices, etc. Like so many other "crises" imposed on us lately, there is a lot to the story that you are not hearing from the "mainstream" media. (Please click that link.) The story of the intentional destruction of the U.S. Postal Service is one more piece of the story of crisis-after-crisis, all manufactured to advance the strategic dismantling of our government and handing over the pieces to billionaires.

Lussi Walter Ab wooden alphorn, handmade in Stans, Switzerland in 1973.  This beautiful alphorn was used in the Swiss Ricola coughdrop commercial, then owned and played by Michael Thornton of the Colorado Symphony.  It is in excellent condition.  Handpainting on the bell shows the Swiss cross, edelweis and other flowers. It is 10 feet 4 inches long, and comes apart in two sections for portability.   Ab alphorns are more rare, pitched higher than most alphorns.  I will include the original wooden mouthpiece as well as a better alphorn mouthpiece sold to me by Marvin McCoy, as well as an adapter for use with a French horn mouthpiece.  I also have a wooden shipping crate which i will include.  Interesting note:  Leopold Mozart wrote his alphorn concerto for Ab alphorn.  I'm asking $2750 but will consider an offer.  Call Sara Keene,  303-742-9205  or email  skeene89@hotmail.com

Violin Wanted -

Susie Peek loves her new violin and is NOW looking for a violin to use for outdoor gigs- will be best if it has a great sound, and crummy varnish!  Or if it's carbon fiber?  I'm guessing it will be in the 5K price area.  But less is fine, too, if the sound is really great for the price!  Call (303)433-8222 or email susiepeek@earthlink.net

Quiet Song for Band- Grade 1/2, by Debbie Davidson.
 A great song for the first band concert of the year! It uses the first five notes typically used in band method books, and is inspired by "Bolero." A quiet tune begins with the flutes and then gradually all of the instruments are added for a big climax before it tapers back down to the flutes. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
$25 Creekside Publishing Company
Available mail order through www.creeksidepublishingcompany.com or through Flesher-Hinton.
 
Finale to Beethoven Symphony No. 9- Grade 2+ for full orchestra and SAB chorus, Debbie Davidson.
 Arranged to make this amazing classic accessible for middle school students. Key signatures and changes are simplified. Vocal parts are all doubled, and the Baritone part is optional. An advanced part is included for extra support - when this piece was premiered at Cherry Creek Academy, a teacher played this advanced part on the cello and an advanced piano student played it on piano. Most of the second parts (i.e. second clarinet, second flute, second violin) can be handled by students in their second year of instruction. The Cherry Creek Academy performance involved singers, grades 5 - 8, band members, grades 6 - 8, and orchestra members, grades 6-8.
