You might not have a choice, or it may be price prohibitive, or even a question of practicality, but when you’re choosing a method of mass transportation most people want to get from point A to point B as fast as possible. And, because jet planes are faster than taking a train, many of us simply haven’t had the chance to spend much time on trains - unless you live on the eastern seaboard or ride a suburban train to work. 

There is a bit of nostalgia involved when we think of travel by rail. The great old movies have given some stylized insight into riding the rails and this week, here at the gathering place for people who love band music we’ll hear some music that is inspired by train travel.

  The Danish Concert Band, Jorgen Misser Jensen
Fields Of Grain As Seen From A Train: Timothy Mahr
