	Merriam-Webster Online
		The concept of beating the band is based on the idea of making more noise than the band itself.
		So is there any connection between beating the band (which means "excelling, exceeding, or surpassing"), and the beating of the drum which names that act of "publicizing vigorously"; or "proclaiming as meritorious or significant"?

		Having said that the relationship between the band members was fantastic, it’s great to see a bit of effort put into not only playing well, but getting down on the ‘soul review’ co-ordinated movement thing.

		To Beat the Band, my second exposure to Celtic Clan on CD, is a closer approximation to the show I saw at Boston's Black Rose (which is odd, since it's the earlier of the two recordings).
		The band is Frank Ryan, Hughie Purcell and Billy Hardy.
		There's no doubt that Celtic Clan is stronger on stage than in the studio, but given that Boston is a far commute, I'm glad to have the band on disc.

		Some may even recall the band’s other vocalist, Marva (later to become film star Marilyn) Maxwell, or Weems’ best—known “intrumentalist,” the unrivaled whistler, Elmo Tanner, who helped make “Heartaches” a mega—hit for Weems and the band.
		This is standard dance—band fare, enlivened at times by a dixie beat, with Como featured on half a dozen selections including “Indian Summer” and “Fools Rush In,” Tanner on three (“Charming Little Faker,” “Polka Dots and Moonbeams,” with Perry on “When It’s Twilight on the Trail”).
		The orchestra sounds largely generic, and the album’s main points of interest are Tanner’s remarkable whistling (an art that seems almost to have vanished) and the early vocal development of soon—to—be superstar Perry Como.
