Fran Haring Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 When I was with the Manville Crusaders, we had a sop soloist... Ron Babich... who was absolutely lights-out. Great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Priester Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Ah yes ... the Privateers ... I knew that ... somehow that mind cavern lost its electronic pule when I posted ... his I&E accomplishments with the Privateers were notable ... imagine an I&E show in the early 60's with Baby John, Gaff, Screech, Burke, Grass and several other now BHOFers all in the same show ... and then imagine that it was the Metropolitan Championships in Staten Island ... yes ... it did happen ... then add on the Sr side Bucky, Pepe, Tommy Martin, John Simpson, Dorritie, Billy Hightower and a slew of others ... then throw in the busloads from Oceanside and Blue Rock and you've got a show that ends around 3:00-4:00am! :-) And don't forget the bunch of folks from Braintree, St Kevin's, the Kilties and Mr BellaRosa and John Tully too.

Ray Priester Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 You left out Mickey McKuen from OLPH... Mickey McKeon was originally with the Lawmen; went to OLPH in '66 or '67 after leaving the Statenaires. He now lives in Nashville but still comes north to play with BSGK. Saw him at the G.A.S.. Still can really honk on that baritone! Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
