"The ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
nine drummers drumming..."
My great grandfather Alexander Mavor didn't play the drums, though he was in a band.
He played the cornet in the Montreal Salvation Army Citadel Band.
This is a piece that was once in the Montreal Star...
These are the fifteen members of the Montreal Citadel Band of 1901. Back row, from left to right: Edward Douglas, John Thompson, George Armstrong, Nelson Garayt, Charles Goodale, Joseph Piche and William Gatehouse. Centre row: Charles Volkert, Ensign and Mrs J.C. Habkirk, William Smith (bandmaster), Gilbert Ellis and Alexander Maveur (Mavor). In the foreground are Mike Sullivan, left, and James Harris.
