Mat Bayfield

In February, seven members of the band - Laurie and Javan on Cornet, Carolyn and Lorraine on tenor horns, Jane on baritone, Karen on euphonium and Jerry on bass - made a recording to accompany folk song.
The song, entitled "Do I Know My Way,"  was written and performed by Lorraine's cousin David Booth, and Mat Bayfield, the other half of the folk duo Bayfield Booth. 

We were greatly saddened to hear last week that Mat had passed away. Although most of us had met him only once, during the recording session, he made a lasting impression with his engaging personality and musical ability.

As a tribute to Mat, the recording was played during our Concert for Christie's last weekend.  It is a lovely song and the audience listened spell bound to the combination of brass and voices.

Thank you, Mat, for giving us the opportunity to make music with you.
