lindap Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) My attempt to put together puzzle pieces of the past with memorabilia, photos and a 1977 travel log entitled ‘My Trip’. The following 4 posts are collectively called ‘The Recordings’. ‘July 27, 1977, a cloudy day…up early 6:30 am….Canterbury had few spectators…Dover Castle neat…Walmer Castle, Henry VIII, nice gardens…Deal Castle, Caesar, taped the show…4 performances today, can you imagine!’ 1977 Alberta All Girls performance at Dover Castle; (it was a 10 week tour, if a member was sick, she’d stay behind, features were duets and elastic drill design, our other uniforms were being laundered that day, that’s me on the right in white, oh my ;-) Edited June 6, 2010 by lindap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindap Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 ‘Sept 9, 1977 Enfield England…rehearsed Bridgemen ending…a man from Polydor came to assess placement and number of mics needed…was impressed with the girls’ rehearsal…Sept 10, 1977 cloudy cold…section practice…went to Wimbledon Stadium for field show at Spedeworth race…to Wembley Music Centre just before midnight for a recording session…going to be a long night…’ 2 pages of my doodles ‘Sept 11, 1977…Basildon Youth Band contest…met Kevin from 2nd. Brighton Scout Band “The Marching Ambassadors”…traveled 2 hours to Hadfield Drum and Trumpet Band Competition…we did the fall down at the end of our show…after we got up the crowd cheered…we were in good spirits again’.

lindap Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) ‘Sept 12, 1977 time off in London, Globe, Lyric, Queen’s Theatres, Piccadilly, Trafalgar, Oxford and more…Paul McCartney and Wings recorded at Wembley Music Centre…Iggy Pop…Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club…had our banquet at Grosvenor House…met Norman Sheffield, a producer. Sept 13, 1977 packed everything except instruments…2 – 6 pm recording session in Great Room at Grosvenor…back to Enfield, representatives of Hadleigh Boys Band and Hackney & Islington Youth Band “The Blues” said goodbye…finished packing throughout most of the night, left for the airport 7:00 am and arrived home later that day.’ 3 photos I took of the Great Room Colleen and her committee spent years and countless hours collecting contact information for Alberta All Girls reunion of 2006. As they were compiling memorabilia and recordings, I asked about the 1977 recording sessions. We had no copy. (I’d taken my little hand held audio cassette tape recorder to Europe which I’d bought in 1976 so’s I could practice being a GE judge). “Oh”, I said, “would you like my cassette tape of our performance in Nijkerk Aug 6/77?” Long story short, our reunion CD has music from 72, 73, 74, 75 and 77. It’s kinda neat comparing the July 27/77 and Aug 6/77 recordings and how much better we sounded less than 2 weeks later Edited June 6, 2010 by lindap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc oldtimer Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) Post-1980 D.C.I.-- Rita Moreno visits with some of her favorite Men in Green following a show in Chicago Dave Flynn, Jeff Fiedler, John Anderson, Rich Shepard (aka, Slick), might be me in the background, not sure, not sure, not sure, Wayne Barth, not sure, don't remember, Mike Bockman, Ma Gangler, Chris Hartowitz and Adolph. kneeling) Joe Shepard, Tracy Freeman, Rita, Jim Anderson, not sure, red hair kid is from the Nash family. The Nash kid had polio and used crutches but he did march in the Cavalier Cadets. The Nash's had several boys who marched in the Cavaliers through the years. I am sure their kids will be marching soon. Yes, John and Jim's parents were killed in a car accident on the way to AL. VERY sad. Several Cavaliers, including me, stood guard at their wake. Ma was corps nurse and a mother to all Cavaliers during those years. I am sure all corps had such incredible women like Ma. Jeff, well, we all know Jeff. .. and Adolph is yet again, Corp. Director. He actually looks younger now then he does in this picture Edited February 4, 2010 by dc oldtimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
