<DIV><FONT size=4>Several members of DJML have asked who were the musicians on
the recording of Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight which I recently posted on
DJML with 6 year old Molly Ringwald as A Blast From The Past. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The name of the album is I Wanna Be Loved By You, Molly
Sings. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Dottie and Ed Lawless did the art design. George Rock from
the Spike Jones Band wrote the liner notes. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>There were 2 different styles of music on the album. Molly
was listening and learning from singers such as Bessie Smith, Pat Yankee,
Clair Austin, Judith Durham, Natalie Lamb for the Dixieland style.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Half of the album was Molly’s other influence, Helen Kane.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The cut which I posted had Al Smith tpt, Jim Maihack tbn,
Skeets Herfurt cl, Bob Ringwald piano, Jack (someone) banjo, Stan Black tuba
and Joe Bellerdino dr. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Patrick Skiffington has the album so he can tell you who the
banjo player was. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Jim Maihack wrote the arrangements for the Dixieland tunes.
</FONT><FONT size=4>Skeets Herfurt wrote the arrangements for the Helen Kane
type tunes. I will try to post one of the Helen Kane type tunes. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Skeets was the great player from the big band era, Tommy and
Jimmy Dorsey and the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>On the Helen Kane tunes we used Al Smith tpt, Jim Maihack
tbn, Skeets Herfurt reeds, Bob Ringwald piano, Jack guitar and some studio
musicians from Lake Tahoe. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>It was recorded at Skeets’ studio in Lake Tahoe. The mix
isn’t the best as it was done only on 4 track. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I will try to post one of the Helen Kane type songs.
