Hi Folks, Just a quick note to let you know that the 2005 Ray Conniff Fan Club Convention will be held in Cardiff, Wales, from June 10 to 12. Details will be...
I'm sorry for my absense from the group and not keeping the Conniff pages updated the past few months. The job and the kids have been keeping me very busy. I'm...
Doug Do you remember what was the first song sung by Ray's group at the White House in Jan 1972 when Carol Feraci made her protest? I was there but to...
Hi Steve, The first song was "Ma, She's Making Eyes At Me." Last night I finally digitized my White House videos. They are all in color but the video quality...
I wish I didn't see that clip :-( First of all I never heard of Garrick Utely, but I thought journalist had to be impartial??? I hope he got fired soon...
I've got an MP3 file of a performance that I believe is Ray Conniff. I would surely like to confirm my suspicion and get the title of the piece. Anyone...
Boy, is this taken from an acetate? I never heard the tune, but it sounds more like Mitch Miller to me. Still I would like to hear what others have to say...
I think it is just a copy of Ray's style, definitely BAD to be Ray.... yqj392 <mrockman@...> wrote:I've got an MP3 file of a performance that I believe is...
The female voices certainly do sound like Ray Conniff's "singers" to me. Was trying to figure other possibilities as to who it could be : Percy Faith -- but...
This is from a VHS of a 2-inch videotape of a 1965 Washington, DC, kiddie show that used the music as a theme song. Every morning the theme started with the...
We have a winner. Artist: "Mitch Miller" Title: "Whistle Stop Penny" Sure sounds like Ray Conniff, though. Guess it is more the era than the artist. Thanks...
The French horns gave it away :-) Nice ditty btw. Is it available somewhere? ... From: yqj392 To: ray_conniff@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 9:14...
In re: Mitch Miller (who turns 93 this year) and his "Whistle Stop" Bill Halvorsen mentioned the french horns, too. I didn't notice them. If it is available...
Doug Thank you for posting that. It was my very first night of duty as a White House Social Aide and I was standing off to the left of the screen (right side...
Sound like fun Steve. But are you allowed to tell about everything that happened during your stay there? ... From: Steve Bauer To: ray_conniff@yahoogroups.com ...
Many thanks to Penny Nichols of Utah for pointing we three in the right direction. Bob Bell runs a website commemorating Washington DC kids' shows of the '50s ...
I pretty much told it all, but I did omit some sleezy stuff, primarily because I dedicated the book to my family. Also, I'm not into sellin sleeze. Just the...
I didn't mean that Steve. I meant, are you allowed to speak about the things you heard and saw, weren't you sworn to secrecy? ... From: Steve Bauer To:...
Thanks, Don, for listing those three sites. I'm not interested in "Whistle Stop" myself, but I am always on the lookout for dealers that sell records. I...
Ops. Sorry. I misunderstood. There was no non-disclosure agreement signed or required. That is probably because the average tour for a social aide is 18...
Doug When you got those tapes to copy, did you work with hard copies, or is there a place to find stuff like that on-line? I havve some other events I would...
... From: Nigel BURLINSON To: Jerry Priessen Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 8:56 AM Subject: Re: [ray_conniff] A Big Thank You Jerry: MITCH MILLER "Whistle Stop"...
Okay, that sounds like fun. For Americans who know the who you are talking about of course :-) I wouldn't know a single guy probably :-) ... From: Steve Bauer ...
Steve, I had to physically go to the National Archives, perform the research, request the tapes, and pay for a blank tape to copy them to. The archives are...
