Dan Hull Newsletter: Musically This Week Vol XVII, No 18

Hello friends.  Another favorite son returns home.

Tuesday, 11/7 at the Amherst Anchor Bar     7:30 - 10:30
Jeff Hackworth, tenor saxophone     Bobby Jones, piano     Wayne Moose, bass     your correspondent, drum set
Jeff and I go back to the 70’s.  Here’s my question: What kind of confidence and self assurance does it take for a 50’s baby boomer to give up the comforts and security of home, and move to New York in the year 2000?  A self-trust earned from experience, maybe?  Two years with Chubby Checker, another two with the Tommy Dorsey Band…  Subbing in the Blood, Sweat, & Tears horn section, a TV appearance with Buddy Rich, The Temptations, Jack Jones, Doc Severinsen, Mel Torme…  And most recently, a sixth compact disc recording as a leader - The Heart of the Matter.  We are honored to welcome Jeff home for a brief visit, and reunite him with Bobby Jones, the featured B3 specialist from his maiden disc, What a Wonderful World.  Can you join us?  Still no cover charge at the Amherst Anchor Bar, 4300 Maple Road, corner of Sweet Home…

Veterans Day, November 11
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.  It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
 - Arthur Ashe

You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
