Publicity Director Jeannie Wemken I first remember hearing the Creole Jazz Kings at (Publicity) El Antojito restaurant in Turlock. They performed 524-3517 Every Thursday night for years. What a great time! Years later, it just doesn’t seem right to hear the Music Director band without the occasional blender sound effect. Margaret Squires Remember? I know several of you do. How about (Music Director) that big guy, wasn’t his name Kevin, who, when 988-2334 asked for his request wanted to hear “Ghost Riders in the Sky”? And they did it! It’s no wonder that the “Kings” have been crowd favorites wherever they have performed. Then there was the pink slip Membership Director party when the band was fired and the gig over after, how many years? Rozetta McNulty (Membership) Band leader, and trombonist extraordinaire, Dan Talbert is a great friend of mine and responsible for 869-2024 introducing me to traditional jazz. Al Boomer’s vocalizations are some of the sweetest I’ve heard. Reed player Tom Schmidt is great on clarinet and sax. His occasional vocals are not too shabby either. Secretary Dave Johnson on trumpet. Enough said there. Then we have local percussionist Joe Runnels. He Jerry Cox plays the most melodic drum solos I’ve heard. Did he ever get those vocal lessons we took up the 529-3194 collection for? And last but not least, 12-year-old Natalie Tout, granddaughter of the venerable Tom Downs, tuba player for Cell Block 7. Tom will also be sitting in with the band for our meeting as Treasurer Creole’s regular tuba player, Keith Baltz, will be in New Orleans with the Ernie Bucio New Orleans Mac McCarter Band for the French Quarter Festival. — Margaret Squires, Music Director Members @ Large Ernie Bucio 985-5712 Sacramento Jubilee Jackson Hot Jazz Party David Livingston 606-2056 Tickets For Sale "Badges will be available ($17 each) for Forrest Jackson Jackson Hot Jazz Party, Sunday April 20th.
