another fine sunday at the hall


The usual shot of the backs of a lot of heads, with faces watching the
BSR's very own Creole Syncopators. We're expecting more lucid pictures
from our official photographress, Pat Whetzel, and OffBeat edditer, Jim
Borland. In the meantime, satisfy your hunger with this side order of links:

Another aerial view of some more backs of heads, but this time with the Titanic Jazz Band.

Our three Andrews Sisters at the check-in table. "See-no-evil" is peeking.

Al's Bar & Grill & Bar, sadly now without Al, but still in operation. Give the kid a Pepsi and put it on my room tab.

The Hearns and the Chases and four happy faces. Hardy is clutching the deed to Hearst Castle, which he recently purchased.

Dave Caparone replaced the Titanic's trombonist to satisfy the local Mafia's request, which was accompanied by a meaningful shrug of a shoulder holster.

Judy Hearn and the Hound of the Basketvilles. Titanically outfitted just for our guest band, she and her pooch were among the survivors.

Robbie Rhodes at the controls of the Yamaha. Despite his advanced years, he still manages to get around on the keys quite well.

Put two tuba players together and guess what they're going to talk about? Go on, guess.

Put a banjo player and a barnstormer together and guess what they're going to talk about? Never mind, I'll tell... airplanes.

Put Clyde Owes and Bob Newton together and guess what they're going to talk about? Nothing. They'd rather just sit and listen.

Everything's comin' up Roses at the BSR's legendary Eat Here & Get Gas roadside cafe. Lloyd and Tykie see to it personally.

Lloyd Byassee, Byassee, Bya Beautiful See, lead drummer for the Titanic Jazz Band. Known for his metronomic beat, he never lets things get out of hand until it's too late.

The BSR's Bizarre Bazaar, stocked and staffed for your shopping pleasure, Elizabeth Brier and Bobbie Puzio standing by. Buy here and save walking all the way to Shop At Home.

All the real news about the July Session, the exciting stuff, will of course appear in the next issue of Offbeat. Reserve your issue now.
