I have with me today Mr. Chick Finney and Mr. Martin L. MacKay who have agreed to make a tape recording with me for our Oral History Section. They are musicians from St. Louis of long standing and we are going to talk today about their early lives and also about their experiences on the music scene in St. Louis. CORTINOVIS: First, I'll ask you a few questions, gentlemen. Did you ever play on any of the Mississippi riverboats, the J.S, The St. Paul or the President? FINNEY: I never did play on any of those name boats, any of those that you just named, Mrs. Cortinovis, but I was a member of the St. Louis Crackerjacks and we played on kind of an unknown boat that went down the river to Cincinnati and parts of Kentucky. But I just can't think of the name of the boat, because it was a small boat. Do you need the name of the boat? CORTINOVIS: No. I don't need the name of the boat. FINNEY: Mrs. Cortinovis, this is Martin McKay who is a name drummer who played with all the big bands from Count Basie to Duke Ellington.

Painstaking crafts- space, Countryman has recorded manship of both music and lyrics is what numerous albums over the past Dana is all about. To him, the song is every- decade-plus. thing. And it shows. The following interview was conducted long-distance, with me in Phoenix, Arizo- na, and Dana in his home studio in Everett, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. But it’s as intimate as if we were casually conversing in the same room. I do need to provide one disclaimer. I am the co-writer of one of the songs on Dana’s new album: “Then She Smiles.” But this in no way affects my journalistic objec- tivity regarding Dana. Even if you never listened to this one particular song, his new album would still be amazing. (Of course, I do hope you listen to all the tracks, because they are all worthy of your attention). (As an aside, I was quite honored when Dana asked me to work with him on the lyrics to his song. And I couldn’t be happi- er with the way the song turned out). So, Dana, tell me: what is “Vocal Retro Pop” all about, photo by Frank M.
