Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

Hi, Dennis! This is a soundalike to the hit I actually don't mind because the original is so good!

Dennis, when I saw Vince G a couple years ago and found out the Andy Stein in the band was THE Andy Stein, I spoke to him and told him how much I loved CC and about how I learned all those great songs (20 Flight Rock, Midnight Shift, etc.) via them. He replied, "Til they taught me, I didn't know 'em, either!"

me too myron, he was really happy to hear how much his playing with CC meant to me. he's still great!

Dennis Diken:

ha! that's Danny Hutton, yeah Gaylord?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:40pm
Gaylord Fields:

Many a time, DA (including a few times with the Treniers also on the bill)! Next time I see you, I'll tell you about both Claude Treiner's and Sam Butera's respective reactions upon seeing Kathleen in the audience at one show. It's a classic!

@Dennis: Danny Hutton indeed! And yes, I was at the show in Brooklyn in '88 (Ernie Barry's club, I recall) — I photobombed a pic of Billy & Miriam, Sam, and Vince Gardenia! But the incidents in question were a decade later in AC.

Back then, Sam was peddling "cassettes — for da caaaaaaah!"

oh man, I missed Vince Gardenia - but I did meet Lou Jacobi at a Buddy Rich show once!

When I worked in the Macy's sock department almost 40 years ago, I once helped out Jack Gilford! And, of course, my greatest celebrity sighting of all time was when I approached The Great One, Arnold Stang, at a diner on the Upper East Side, and he wished me a happy new year!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:55pm
Gaylord Fields:

I didn't pester Stang too much, just got in, gave my words of tribute, shook his hand, took his well wishes/brushoff, and left him to his soup and sandwich.

Stang totally rules. a friend has a Stang museum (in Cranford?)
