Can you help me find a recording, either tape or CD, of a musical
selection entitled "Gate City March.  Composer is A J Weldon and one
of the songs on this selection is "Maryland, My Maryland".  My friend
who is trying to find this music says he first heard it over 30 years
ago and I have heard parts of it online.  I think "Dixie" is on it,
too.  The only mention of Gate City March for sale is for a piano roll
which, of course, we can't use.  Pinkfreud has helped me before and if
she's musical, she might like to try this one.  Tnaks, CalamityJane-ga

Hello again, CalamityJane!

The CD "Golden Age of the American March" contains "Gate City" and
many other stirring pieces, as performed by the Goldman Band. At
Barnes & Noble you can listen to an audio clip of "Gate City" to
verify that this is the correct piece of music. The clip has a portion
that features "Dixie," and also "Swanee River."

Many thanks to my friend and colleague markj-ga, whose assistance was
immensely helpful.

I hope this will enable you to obtain a copy of the Gate City March
for your friend. If a link doesn't work, or if there's anything else I
can do for you, please let me know.
