Lambton County museums exploring musical history in online session

It’s also a way for the museum curators to reach people living outside of Lambton who are able to tune in for the sessions, she said. Dana Thorne, with the Lambton Heritage Museum, will speak about The Volcanos. The 1960s-era band from Sarnia played shows around the region, and opened for The Supremes, Bobby Darin, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Johnny Rivers, and an early Bob Seger band. “David McLean from the Forest Museum is talking about the Forest Excelsior band,” Sinclair said. The community band formed in 1884 and continues to perform. It describes itself as the longest continuously operating non-military band in Canada. Fiona Doherty will speak about one of the musical instruments in the collection at the Moore Museum and the story behind it.
