This is one of the better honors I've ever been honored with. This award is more of a lifetime achievement and leader award. This was my first time being nominated, and I won.
"Alton Augustus Adams, Sr." is remembered primarily as the first black (people)/black military band/bandmaster in the United States Navy (beginning 1917). His music was performed by the bands of John Philip Sousa and Edwin Franko Goldman and his march "The Governor's Own" (1921) appears as the first selection on the bicentennial album Pride of America, released by New World Records.
More Alton Adams on Wikipedia.I started farming in 1948 and that was the first year I had my own crop. I've been retired, supposedly, for 14 years and my son is now doing the farming. Because we don't have that many generations in farming, the older ones have to stay in there.
