Bob Hamilton of Springfield, who played alongside his son Mike for many years in the trumpet section of the Yellow Springs Community Band, died yesterday at Ohio State University Hospital East. Bob retired twice from the band as he got older and his chops started to fail him. But he loved playing so much, he kept coming back. He retired again recently as his health began to decline. The Community Band will play Hoagy Carmicheal's Stardust, Bob's signature trumpet solo, to honor him at their concert at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, May 11 in Kings Yard.
