  • Summary

  • We had a wonderful visit with one of the outstanding band leaders of our lifetime, Captain Lew Buckley. He was most famous for being the longest tenured conductor of all top military bands during his 29 year and 4 month term as Director of the United States Coast Guard Band in New London, CT. The band’s reputation has always been extraordinary and Captain Buckley has earned a reputation as a band director who consistently produces spectacular results with the ensembles he directs. He continued that after his retirement from the Coast Guard Band during 9 years conducting the Metropolitan Wind Symphony of Boston and is currently conducting several ensembles in a second retirement “deployment” that he and his wife are enjoying in the surprisingly musical rich environment of The Villages of Central Florida. The balance of humanitarian kindness and adaptation with the joys of making music that Captain Buckley has found at The Villages is a highlight of this episode.
