OK, I am new to Wikipedia and began this article after following a dead link from Howard Johnson's Wikipedia article. That dead link invited me to create an article and so here I am.
Updated the page to reflect an apparent conflict pointed out by Legacypac. There seems to be confusion between the subject Joseph Peter Daley, jazz composer and low brass specialist and Joseph Albert Daley, jazz saxophonist.
Joseph Peter Daley (jazz composer and tubist) is currently very much alive. Joseph Albert Daley (jazz saxophonist) has sadly been deceased since 5 March, 1994.

A citation to an article in The Washington Post is marked as incorrect. This reference is used a number of times in the article. I looked at the help page associated with the error but did not see an explanation of the exact error the reference has. The page number is D5 which I listed as p. D5 but it is marked as an error. Also once I know how to correct this is there a way to batch change the reference? I do not see a way to access the reference directly other than a global change in the source text. Please advise.

- Hi Mjohnson145. I've tidied up the citations for you. The main problem was that the date and page data were combined in the date field of the citation. I also applied a technique called named references so that the details of the references appear only once, the rest of the time a short name is used to save repetition. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:21, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
