Now jerkoff, as you can see, it states he played in the Blessed
Sacrament "ALUMNI" Corps, NOT the Junior competing Corps. And show me
again where it says that he arranged for and instructed the
Chattahoochee Sound Association Drum and Bugle Corps from Decatur GA.
It is most unfortunate (for me anyway) that I've forgotten more about
Drum Corps then you'll ever know. I'm not going to go into all of the
inconsistencies in these biographies, most of them are inflated to say
the least and, up until just recently, not placed under much scrutiny
as to there accuracy. That is changing as time goes on.
You state that:
> > I have learned from some of the greats, greats like Suncoast and SVG
> > great Russell Stanton, D.C.I.'s famed judge Mel Straton and Blessed Sac
> > beloved sop soloist Thomas F. McAndrews.
It was you who lied that "your" Thomas F. McAndrews played solo for
Blessed Sacrament. There never was anyone by the name of McAndrew OR
McAndrews playing as a soloist on soprano (or any other instrument) for
Blessed Sacrament, in either Alumni or Junior Corps. Within the pass
few years Blessed Sacrament is attempting to reorganize a Junior Corps
in their old parish in Newark, N.J. and Tom McAndrew is deeply involved
in that endeavor as an instructor.
There is something else that you stated that is a very strong
indication that you are talking about the same Tom McAndrew that I
know. You state:
> but Tom liked to play trumpet, not the G soprano, he would always cover our G horn parts
> on his Bb trumpet,
This very true of the Tom McAndrew that I know. He is a master at
transposing in his head as he read the "G" charts. Nailed you again
jerkoff. Try blowing smoke up someone else's ass.
This is my last word to you about anything Howdy. You are hereby
killfiled. You're in the same category as Catherine Burr, nothing by
rants about yourself, you narcissistic jerkoff.

Well Michael, it does not seem that you knew Thomas F. McAndrew as well
as you thought that he did, you were wrong about him playing at Blessed
Sacrament, and you had no knowledge of Thomes ever starting and
teaching at the chattahoochee Sound Association in Decatur, GA.

And show me

Show me where it says that he did not. YOU are the one who hints that
Thomas F. McAndrew never taught me at CSA, the burdon of proof is with
you, besides I have proof that Thomas F. McAndrew did teach me at CSA,
I have a picture of Thomas F. McAndrew teaching Me (and CSA) the
Decatur Recreation Center. Both Thomas and I are in the picture.

No you did not, and anyone could have done it very easily back then
when we were playing with 2 valve and rotor valve by just holding down
the third valve of the BB trumpet, presto, you almost have you a 2
valve G bugle (their are some differences however)

The blurb that Thomas F. McAndrew played for the Blessed Sacrament
Golden Nights (Sr) Corps was NOT inaccurate.
But your claims that Thomas McAndrew never played for Blessed Sacrament
was inaccurate, remember what you said
"he was
never a sop soloist with Blessed Sacrament"
The "blurb, which I earlier posted a link to, was not inaccurate
Michael Siglow:
It correctly stated:
" As a senior, he played with
...the Blessed Sacrament Golden

the New York Skyliners.

I never said he played in the jr corps, I said he was a vintage player
(Pre 1980)
And show me
> again where it says that he arranged for and instructed the

It does not say either way.
>

Perhaps, but I did not forget the TRUTH about how Thomas played for BS,
and how he taught CSA
I'm not going to go into all of the
> inconsistencies in these biographies
Whether Thomas played for BS is THE issue at hand, remember, the one
you used to challenge my credibility, and when I used a legit website
to prove you wrong, you respond by challenging the website.
Just admit it Siglow, you were wrong, Thomas DID play for BS, and that
I never said that he played for the jr corps.
, most of them are inflated
WHY would they have made up , just like you falsely claim that I did, I
lie to say that Thomas played in Blessed Sacrament unless he at one
time actually did?
> the least and, up until just recently, not placed under much scrutiny
> as to there accuracy.
It looks like to most people that YOUR not accurate about Thomas
playing for BS Siglow .
That is changing as time goes on.
Your credibility concerning the history of TFM seems to be what is
changing Siglow.

play for Blessed Sacrament(AC).

TFM also played as a horn player with the Alumni corps michael.

If TFM can do this to the three valve parts he is indeed a master as
you claim.
Nailed you again
> jerkoff. Try blowing smoke up someone else's ass.
No, you nailed nothing, I stated that the TFM that i knew played at BC
and founded and taught at CSA, and so far you have provided nothing to
prove me wrong, whilst I proved that TFM from an independent website
played at BS, and I still have the picture to prove that TFM was at
CSA, and that he taught me there.

Running out of town with your tail between your legs, looks like this
time good ole Howdy was correct, I might be a little old and have some
old timers goin, and I can not remember everything from 25 + years ago,
but this time Siglow I won and you lost, you were proven wrong about
claiming that I was wrong about TFM, and the only thing that you
"nailed" me on was that Thomas F. Mcandrew does not have an S at the
end of his name, I guess over the years I added the s by mistake.
Mikey Schmidt right again!!!!!!!

The Chattahoochee Sound Association (CSA) was a junior corps based in

"History
Founded by Boston native Tom McAndrews, the Chattahoochee Sound
Assocation (CSA) was a junior corps that formed in Atlanta in 1980. The
corps performed in exhibition at the Drums Across America show at
Atlanta's Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field, and appeared at
one additional contest before competing at the 1980 DCI World
Championships in Birmingham, Alabama. The corps finished 18th out of 21
competitors in the Class A prelims competition, with a score of 25.60.
Winter rehearsals were held at the Decatur Recreation Center, with
summer rehearsals primarily at a local park in south DeKalb County.
The corps staff included Spirit of Atlanta alumnus and Canadian
National Snare Drum champion Randy Wickstrom, and Stockton Commodores
alumnus and Spirit staffer Russell Stanton.
Perhaps the most notable achievement of CSA was that a large number of
its alumni went on to perform with Spirit of Atlanta and other open
class corps. "

Re:
Thomas told me himself last week that although he has been a sop
soloist in the past, that he preferes to write the solos , and then to
teach them to others in the corps and to let them play them , in this
case, at Blessed Sacrament, Tom arranged the music, played the sop,
and was also an instructor.
Which was your original claim. Oh and the
> link you provided was simply the same text Mr. Siglow quoted
Not true.
I was the first one to quote the text from the DNBC hall of fame
inductee website that stated that Thomas F. McAndrew was with Blessed
Sacrament. Siglow failed to mention that TFM marched (He also arranged
and instructed)with Blessed Sacrament.
Both sources failed to mention TFM involvement with CSA.
> so you've added nothing new to the discussion.
Not true.
I provided PROOF that Thomas was at Blessed Sacrament, and CSA.

"The more important the dog is, the more satisfaction people get in
kicking him"- Robert Maynard Hutchins
The Trumpet of the Lord Ministry
I truly do what I do "for the kids".
One "I started playing the trumpet because of you", is worth a billion
trillion criticisms of my trumpet playing.
The greatest compliment that could ever be paid to me and or my trumpet
playing is that I am always being sought out by others. Not a day goes
by when the phone at TTOTL does not ring with a trumpet player wanting
trumpet playing advice from me, or a church staffer seeking help, or a
person in crisis reaching out for help. I am humbled.
To my critics who criticize the way that I play a trumpet well I say
that I am always improving. My continued sucsess as a professional
Christian trumpet player has come from the fact that I am always
improving, discovering, trying, practicing, listening to others, never
ever giving up.
To critics who try and kick me down,over and over again, like Hutchens
said, the more important the person is, the more satisfaction people
get kicking him down.
No greater compliment could ever come my way than the fact that I see
that my supporters have always been loyal and sacrificial. We started
very small, and God has blessed us in so many ways such as with our 30
' X 40 ' rehersal building. I am humbled by the fact that people follow
me because of who I am, but most of all because of who I represent, the
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Messiah, YHVH.
God bless you all,
