Bent, 1st chair Cornetist,...My GG Uncle Benjamin C. Bent, 1st chair Cornetist, Soloist, Co-Conductor can be seen to Gilmore's Left, Front, medal on his chest. He joined Gilmore in 1875 and the highest paid musician in the band. If you look at the 1884 Manhattan Beach photo of Gilmores band you can see Arthur Bent standing next to Ben, same position, to Gilmores Left. I see Herman Conrad played with Sousa in 1893 after Gilmores death (1892).Doug Benthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977565945284114463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824704134328368009.post-34123225107246740192019-10-17T05:47:50.467-04:002019-10-17T05:47:50.467-04:00I've got one like this but don't know how ...I've got one like this but don't know how to post photos !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743374459674632360noreply@blogger.com
