Man, Stan sure knew how to express himself on his tenor. I didn't even know the same song is on the music player right here at Stan's Place. (o: How great is that!
Eva and I want to wish you a fun and safe 4th and we hope all the recent publicity Stella has received on Times Square hasn't gone to her big puppy head.lol As for us, we'll be home trying to convince our dog Annie that the world isn't coming to an end, and the fireworks will stop eventually. We hope to spend the rest of the summer like these two otters in the video below. Love you, Lou and Eva

So cte they are, and so are the otters as well;) Funniest thing is??? That video is what brings me here. I was 1/2 kidding when I added that last statement about adding Stans "Didn't We," but I really think it would be so Saxy sensational to see that come to fruition...My question is...How does that idea strike you?:) If I have "struck" out, that is more than ok, but curiosity never is solved by being curios:) Man, you must be satiated by now of me today LOL haaaaaaaa Luv ya much xoxo

I also asked Don Hill to join. He Was that wonderful alto player with the Treniers for 50 years. He also played with Satch in the 40s. He also played in a lot of sections with Sonny Stitt Who he went to school with.
Happy 4th.

At 12:45pm on July 5, 2008, Joan DesCarpentier said…: YES:) When I first saw that pic I thought it resembled one of your "babies." ;) Well, Cupid and I drove around dodging maniacs and listening to the Austin Wind Symphony concert...THAT was excellent to hear. He freaked at the first shrill, so that was my alternative:)) Luv ya much

At 3:41pm on July 5, 2008, Arthur Schroeck said…: Always a pleasure. I think Don joined, I'm still on George's A#*

Thanks for your note. I'm back in the Newburgh area tonight again (gig in the area on Sunday afternoon). I have enjoyed everyone I've worked/gigged with here very much. Beautiful scenery here - Hudson River, etc - very nice.

I was thinking earlier - might I have seen you perform with Buddy Rich's band around 1976 (with Cathy Rich)? I remember one of the times Buddy's band came around the Syracuse area (Skaneateles, NY to be exact - The Old Stone Mill Restaurant). Cathy was there and might you have been, too? Singing?

I was only about 15 then, but a friend of mine, Peter Erskine, also played there that same month with Maynard. The Old Stone Mill had several big bands that summer (Woody Herman and Stan Kenton, too). It was the year of the Montreal Summer Olympics, I remember.

This is a GREAT site and thanks to Artie Schroeck for inviting me!

Take care and stay in touch,
Karl

Wow - so it was you who I saw. That was a fun time. The Old Stone Mill was a little restaurant just outside of Syracuse, NY (about 15 miles west). The band actually played in the restaurant itself - tables were moved to make room. Very small place, which was great for us. There wasn't a bad seat in the house! Thanks for the note and take care

At 2:06am on July 10, 2008, Arthur Schroeck said…: I added a song on my page ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL with Frankie Valli. It's a chart I wrote for him. The vocal group is my son, Shem, singing the top 2 parts and me singing the bottom 2.

At 1:55pm on July 10, 2008, Arthur Schroeck said…: I never sent, as I don't know how to get in touch with him. You have my permission if you do.

At 5:20pm on July 10, 2008, Arthur Schroeck said…: I don't think they are. My wife, Linda November, was the counterpart in New York to Bonny Hermann in Chicago during the jingle singer hey day. They knew each other at that time but lost contact. We're trying to get in touch with her, so if you do get in touch with Gene, see if he knows how. I was glad to give you that MP3.

At 7:42pm on July 10, 2008, Arthur Schroeck said…: I just saw in my Society Of Singers flyer that Gene passed away.

At 1:47am on July 11, 2008, Arthur Schroeck said…: Very sad, I was such a fan of the Hi Los. that's how I learned to write vocal parts. And of course Singers Un..... Talk to you tomorrow

I'm online for a few minutes and just wanted to say hello to you.
These days I'm writing a music arrangment on Spring is Here for the symphony orchestra and me, and I told Hilde I so deeply wished that Stan was with us and that I could write music arrangements with orchestra for him. I hear his sound all the time when I write now.
Much love to you and Stella.
Hugs and barks
your friend Egil
