We used to play "A Night in June" in the Stratford Community Band back in Iowa. It was certainly a slow number. BTW, Karl King lived in Fort Dodge, Iowa for many years and directed the community band there. My parents took me to see him direct several times. Once - at their urging - I went up to him after the concert and got his autograph. As he handed it to me he smiled and said, "Here you go... You can trade ten of these for one of Elvis Presley". A memorable quip from a very talented and prolific man.
