  • Terri & Rob are Robert's Music
    Nov 20 2024


    This was a really fun visit with a music store institution in Southern New England, Robert’s Music owners, Terri and Rob Vivieros. We learned about their musical backgrounds and the unusual path that led them to lead one the most solid music stores in the region. Their passion and commitment to life-long learning in music are obvious, mixed in with plenty of laughs about the journey. Ultimately, it became obvious during the spirited conversation that the role of a music store and their staff are so central to the success of music programs and individual musicians successes at any age or level of proficiency, that none of the amazing lifelong journeys through music performance would be possible.

    Nov 16 2024

    Town Band Banter hosts, Doc and dave visit with one of their great friends, Nate Lauder. Though the Westerly Band has been around consistently since the 1800’s, Nate has been the President of the Westerly Band for the past few years. His journey through a musical career ending up on tuba is very entertaining. His unique perceptions of the band and how it is being effectively run are as refreshing as they are effective.
