One is by John Philip Sousa written in 1916, the other is by Edwin Franko Goldman written in 1931. It is my understanding that the second piece was adopted by the BSA as its official song/march (the non-Sousa version, surprising to me!) I have two questions about this. First, does anyone know the story or have a reference to where to find the story as to why the Sousa piece was not so adopted and the Goldman piece was? I would think a work written by the more-famous John Philip Sousa would be an honor to the BSA, just as it cherishes its relationship with Norman Rockwell. Second, does anyone know where recordings of these can be obtained? So far, my search through music references and catalogs has come up empty.
