Uncle Skid Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I hope all these places have power!!! If not, you can probably just run a real long extension cord from Chuck's house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hate to miss that! Hope you will record it so that we can share the experience. Was listening to Arno Marsh featured on several solos (along Bill Perkins and Dick Hafer) of the Woody Herman 1952 band appearances that came out on Jazz Band! What a player! What a band!

Hardbopjazz Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Does the band ever get gigs in the NYC area? I would love to come hear you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randissimo Posted July 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Does the band ever get gigs in the NYC area? I would love to come hear you live. Unfortunately we don't have the connections or resources right now to gig in NYC... In fact, if you know of any management or booking agencies we'd be interested. We've been trying to book and promote ourselves and haven't yet been able to get much beyond local & statewide gigs.. The highpoint of our career so far has been a jazz festival last October in Clearwater, Fla that was very well recieved.. We would love to get out there and play on a larger scale..

Jim Alfredson Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi folks. Anyone planning on coming to the Ludington gig on Sunday (August 15th), the gig has been canceled due to lack of funding. But we will be at Gull Landing in Pentwater that night! We've been having a blast on the tour... we hope to see some friends out! Arno is killin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue lake Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Schmeerkase, the booty! Where did you find the booty in your avatar? LOL. You've been sounding very fine on the air of late Scott, and those movie reviews kill me. Ah, boring; then, oh so much more boring. !! You want to go hear Sonare at Krauftbrau? Randy, gang, you know letting a three year old loose near an open pier tends to blunt the social conventions. Sorry I couldn't stay and chat, but she's a little rascal. Have to keep your eyes on those little ones. You guys sounded great, and your Pops was swinging! Now it's my turn to spin some new Arno. Yeah!

Werf Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Lazaro Baby: Yeah, Sonare sounds appropriately scary!! I'm so there! Three fire breathing Godzilla saxophone screamers. Herr Brotz crushing Kalamazoo in a barrage of howling mulitphonic ululations. And only the Kraftbrau nectar to keep us safe... Glad my boredoms you have been enjoying. This week I'm seeing "Garden State" and have high hopes. Natalie Portman is the booty, and even though she's a skinny thing I am eager to glom onto her grin. Skinny booty baby. Oh, and "Shaun of the Dead." It's gotta be a hoot. I have been enjoying your sounds, too, especially since I'm usually really drunk. Whoopie! Randy yer Dad's disc is killin'... I played it all (almost) Sunday. More tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Well Mr. Nessa came out tonight and hung out with Arno and the trio! We had a blast! We played outside on the Gull Landing deck during a torrential downpour and lived to tell about it! I recorded all the gigs, although most are unusable due to technical problems that arose (I learned a lot on this tour about mobile recording: Namely, clean power is not a given at any location and that microphone splitters are my new best friend) but we did get all of tonight's show (all three hours of it) which should have some fine moments. If all goes well, we'll be releasing a CD of Organissimo featuring Arno Marsh! Yippee! Lazaro, it was good to see you in Grand Haven.

randissimo Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 How about updating the schedule now... Jeez... You missed a dandy little tour... You could have been sitting on the deck in Pentwater enjoying great food & music... From Toledo to Pentwater would have been a 41/2 hour drive...
