    Town Band Banter will be expanding well beyond Rhode Island very soon with guests lining up on a national scale. However, this episode lays a great foundation for future topics with one of the founders of the Jamestown Community Band who was also the Family Doctor on the Island accessible by bridges in Little Rhody. Joe England offers a unique perspective on life-long learning and the role of community bands in participants' overall health and well being.

    A lovely visit with an awesome person, Dr. Sandra Enos. She is a new member in the Jamestown Band and took on learning how to play an instrument while in her 70's to be able to do that. Her life history and path to and through an influential career in Sociology and eventually into the band is a great story!
