New Record Added – “Command Performance”
Well, That Was Fun…
Good morning!
While the physical move of the BandSir.com server went smoothly, a thunderstorm on Sunday morning caused a short power outage. The uninterruptible power supply failed and for some reason still unknown, the database software failed. This is why this site has been offline.
Fortunately, I have backups, but I had to learn how to restore the site, having never needed to restore it before. It’s back up and running again — sorta. It’s not on a secure web page yet, but I’ll add that back over the coming days.
If you find a link that doesn’t work, please let me know by email at DanWolfe.us@gmail.com.
Thanks much for your patience! I appreciate all the kind words of support for this site. Y’all are awesome!
Be well and stay safe out there,

Trust me. For years, I’ve been trying to find some sort of visual evidence that we were even there at Nixon’s second inaugural concert. I called the Kennedy Center, I wrote to PBS, who televised the concert, and to the local DC newspapers, none of which produced a single thing. Thanks to Ron Youngs, we have the video of the event as it … Get your chin in and keep reading…
