I went to see Vince Giordano's Nighthawks in NYC. They are a great band (did all the Boardwalk Empire soundtrack work), a 20's, 30's and 40's style authentic big band. Louden sings with them on ocassion. We had a laugh when I requested Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Highway and Vince said he "didn't have that chart tonight"... Of-course he was on MASH too...generally nice guy, which isn't always the case with personalities.

LOL. Steve and Eydie’s appearances at the Westbury Music Fair and Jones Beach Theater were quasi-religious experiences for my parents and their cohort.

I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know. To practice drawing, one day I was looking for some images of bones and I ran across this. Unfortunately, I don’t remember anything about it. It looks like science fiction art, right?

I looked up old Westbury Music Fair programs on EBay, the types of performers they had in those days is astounding. They even had Israeli performers. Sadly, those days are long gone.

I'm a fan of symphony orchestrations for soundtracks. Unless you're trying to evoke a time period you wind up affecting the shelf life of the visual medium.

It appears to be from a DC comic circa late '50's or early '60's. (Detective comics?) I don't know. But It's a winner. Truly evocative.

Indeed. During this bygone time, my parents frequented the Westbury Music Fair (I joined them two or three times). Once I graduated to my mid-teens, I was often found just down the road at Roosevelt Raceway.

Just this past week, the venue formerly known as Westbury Music Fair, North Fork Bank Theater at Westbury, Capital One at Westbury, and NYCB Theatre at Westbury was renamed Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair. Bachman Turner Overdrive christened the new name last night.

I have both of them. To me, they're Mexican restaurant music of my youth. When I was Italy, I found a cassette of Amor at a truck stop between Rome and Florence. I had a very fast car with a five speed transmission, and Amor was the soundtrack for driving thru the Tuscan county side like an Italian race car driver.
