Hi Sweetie, this worked just great......I will save it..love ya, p
I'm looking for some info on the Honey Bucket, the spot for Dixieland Jazz in Southern California during the the mid and late 1950's. It was somewhere in Orange County (I think it was Costa Mesa or somewhere near there.) The Honey Bucket was in a funky building in the middle of a field, and was our favorite music "hang out" when attending Whittier College. Got campused a lot by going there, but it was so worth it. Know anything about it? Would love to know.
I love traditional jazz! I was a classical trumpet player, who got invited by an old high school chum to go listen to his band in Los Angeles. Well, just one evening and I was hooked. I joined that band two weeks later, and they were called the Dixieland Dandies. This was in 1956. The band name got changed in 1957 to the South Frisco Jazz Band and we started playing regularly at the Rouge et Noir in Seal Beach; followed by the Honeybucket in Costa Mesa, plus many outside venues. It was so fun! But, life, work, children, etc. got in the way and so for 49 years I did not play, until my wife gave me this last Christmas, a 1921 Conn Victor 80A cornet and well, here I go again. Hope to join or form a Trad Band in late 2011. Glad I found your website.
I am also researching my family history but have come to a full stop at my Great Grandparents who were jan van Wyngaarden and Catharina Leer of Amsterdam.
Veel goeds voor jou en je vrouw! Tot ziens! Mary-Lou
Jack & Evelyn, Thanks so much for sharing the photos of our cruise. So nice to seem them again. Brings back memories. Bruce
Sure had a great time on the Zaandam with both of you. Dinner with always fun and a lot of laughs. Having your pictures to look at has made the cruise last a little bit longer. Thanks, Pat (and Tom's, too) Lunch in Del Mar soon.
Hi Jack and Evelyn, It was a pleasure meeting the two of you and your photos of the cruise are comprehensive and a great reminder of the times we shared. Keep up the documentation of and promotion of OKOM and the cruises and festivals that bring us all together.Bill
