Phitom, Easter Parade, Frank Fox
The latest Buffalo record in my collection is on the Phitom label - yes the Tom Shannon/Phil Todaro label, by Two Jacks And A King. "Tell Me Today" is a pop sounding record while "Say Baby" is a nice uptempo bluesy sounding record. Probably one of the easier titles to get on the label.
.
I couldn't help myself when I bought the 1961 Easter Parade of Stars "concert" tour program. The hosts included Murray The K and Clay Cole. It has some great group and single artist pictures, including lesser known artists like the Landon Sisters and Bobby Bongard. An advertisement on the inside back cover touts Maurice William's LP called Stay, and his latest 45 "Come Along".
.
I have had several different types of shows on KVMR as of late. We had a membership drive, I did the Halloween show, and then there was last night. I had the chance (Again) to interview Frank Fox of Vito and the Salutations. It had been at least 15 years since we sat down to talk in the KVMR FM studio. He lives in Davis, California, about 1:45 minutes from Nevada City. This time, I let him "Run" the show. He had a program pretty much thought out and connected the dots as we listened to lots of music associated with Vito and the Salutations. And, yes, we did play a few of at least 14 sides Frank recorded with the group! Frank is still singing, and currently his group is Frankie and the Fabletones. I will be getting the whole interview posted this week, along with a picture of us in the studio. The interview will be on the celebs page that I have for the group, and on my home page.
