We would like to give a special shout out to the Friends of the Veterans Memorial Senior Center for securing the funding from the Sequoia Health Care District in order to assist the City of Redwood City for the cost of the free lunch program. This is truly the definition of a community partnership! The photo on the cover was taken looking west over the Senior Center at 2:50 pm on September 9th, 2020. It was so dark and eerie that day due to the wildfires. As you can see even the outdoor lighting on the building was on during the middle of the day! Hopefully we won’t see many days like that anymore. In this issue of the Sentinel we have included some Funny songs, an I Spy game and some upcoming community events. There is a page if you would like to start a new Pen pal to exchange letters. Also, we have taken some pictured of friends that just wanted to say hi! We hope you enjoy reading the Sentinel and if you ever need to talk with us here at the senior center, we are only a phone call away, 650-780-7270.

  • A Biographical Sketch Native-Texan Louise Tobin Hucko
    Louise Tobin Hucko: A Biographical Sketch Native-Texan Louise Tobin Hucko (b. 1918, Aubrey, TX) grew up in Denton in a large family that sang and played music together. She was the fourth youngest of eleven children and the only one to make music her profession. Louise remembers the teenagers playing ukuleles on the porch and rushing home from school at lunch to listen to Louis Armstrong on the radio. After winning a CBS Radio Talent Contest in 1932, she toured the larger Texas cities as part of the Interstate Theatre Circuit, singing with society dance orchestras, led by such figures as Hyman Charninsky and Al Kvale. After joining Art Hicks and His Orchestra in 1934, she met Harry James who was playing first trumpet. This ensemble was one of several Texas territory bands of the 1930s that ventured outside the state in hopes of reaching a national audience. In late 1934-early 1935 they made their way to Albany, New York, with stops in Oklahoma and Ohio. By this time Benny Goodman had hit; the swing era had begun. Shortly after their arrival in New York, the Art Hicks Orchestra disbanded. A very young Louise, age 15, and Harry, who had just turned 18 married in May 1935. The newlyweds, who kept the elopement a secret from her family, were now looking for work. Harry accepted an offer to play third trumpet with the Herman Waldman Orchestra back down south in Shreveport. “He hated it and actually lost his lip for awhile!,” Louise recalls. With the help of Texan-band leader, Ligon Smith, Louise found work around Texas, singing with orchestras led by Smith, Charlie Davis, and Carlos Shaw.

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

PO Box 1236 Saratoga Springs NY 12866 USA harry james big band series indiana (1939) Harry James Biography: One of the most exciting and technically proficient trumpeters of all time, Harry James left behind a substantial legacy of recordings and performances that continue to delight listeners to this day. Born into a family of traveling circus performers in 1916, James looked primed to live a life in the family business, performing as a contortionist as a young boy. At age 10, however, he began taking trumpet lessons from his father, developing a stunning level of technical proficiency by the time he was in his mid-teens. Joining up with the Benny Goodman Orchestra in 1937, James quickly became one of the band’s star soloists. Leaving Goodman two years later, he formed his first orchestra (featuring a young Frank Sinatra as its male vocalist). The band’s greatest commercial success would come in the early 1940s, when it expanded to include a string section and focused on achieving a “sweeter” sound than most contemporary outlets.
