JimF-LowBari Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Bump - And interested in what current DCI fans thought of a '70s style Sr show done by a great Alumni corps. Talk about a totally different style to close the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elphaba01 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) I may be mistaken but wasn't Bill Hayes the original soloist? I know they played it as early as 1960, but Cherry Pink was their "production number" before that and it was Bill's signature tune. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Flamenco Soloists": The "Original" 'Flamenco Soloist' MAY have been Jimmy D'Amico. He is listed (Along with the late Don Angelica) as 'soloist' on the 1961 Fleetwood pressing of "The Music of the Hawthorne Caballeros", concert & "feild" recordings. Mr D'Amico was also the Caballeros Alumni Corps "Original Flamenco Soloist" in 1995 when the corps was founded and "Flamenco" was 'Brought Back'. Mr Mike DelVechio, a Caballeros member, and "Back Up Solist" from the 1950s & 1960s usually plays the primary solo effort at the present time. Mr Frank Ponzo performs the "Finale".

Jami Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 These guys lit up the crowd last night - from the second Frank Ponzo nailed that Bull Call through the Rumps and all through their repertoire, these guys were on fire and were a true crowd favorite. As a recent ageout, I very much appreciate the history and the class the Hawthorne Caballeros alumni represent for this activity. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up4479 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I first saw the Cabs in 1959. When they poked their heads into the light last night I knew exactly what to expect and I was not disapointed! They knocked the stands down! Hearing their music brought back many memories and the color presentation brought everybody to their feet. The corps performed well and it was a great stroll down memory lane. Thanks Cabs! ^OO^ ^OO^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echano77 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 attention kids who want to be screamers...know these names:Steve Williams Duke Terreri Frank "I bow to this man" Ponzo be educated. be amazed at the sounds they can produce on "inferior" G bugles. Jeff...I fixed your hatchet job on Duke's name...I judged with him for 20 years... :P Mr Fixit...Mike <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echano77 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just for the record; "Steve Williams" is a very nice guy. I've know him for years. He has logged many years with the Cabs organization. He does, however, play double conga, not soprano bugle!!! The other Cabs Alumni soloist is "Steve Raclowski". I'm sure Steve Williams appreciated the comments though!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elphaba WWW <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hayes was in Miami in '61 so I know it wasn't him then. I think the 1st year of Flamenco was '60 and Bill could have possibly done the solo that year. Or may it was Angelica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
