1st Infantry Division Band

1964

“I laugh when I consider all the great times we had as members of the 1st Infantry Division Band at Ft. Riley, KS.  Your life-time closest friends could be found in that wonderful band. “

— Dave Wolthueter, (Read all of Dave’s words below)


“Danny Long, the soldier.  I laugh when I consider all the great times we had as members of the 1st Infantry Division Band at Ft. Riley, KS.  Your life-time closest friends could be found in that wonderful band. I was with Danny at rehearsals in the morning, when we played athletics in the afternoon, and when we went out at night. I spent more continuous time in one day with Danny and a couple of others than any other friend ever.

Danny made my life so complete with his personality and his fabulous musical talents.  And that’s why I visited him on numerous occasions in AZ. I lost a close friend when Danny passed, but the memories will last forever. He was a true soldier of the musical world.”
