Hello all,
just a couple of simple questions regarding the band in the evening of April 14th. Am I wrong, or were most (if not all) public rooms closed by 11pm on April 14th? If I'm indeed correct on that one, then were was the band when it was asked (ordered?) to go and play for the passengers waiting to get into the lifeboats? Still playing in the restaurant? Wasn't it closed?
Also, how was Harold Bride able to hear the band play while he was in the ocean. One can easily imagine (not without a chill) that the sound of people screaming and that of the ship sinking would've easily covered the music.
I'd like to have your thoughts on that, and please don't hesitate to correct any incorrect information from my post.
