Happy Birthday, Sid

Sid would have been 84 today. Please take a moment and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Oy, What A Show!

Four more songs performed by a fabulous 17 piece big band, conducted by Pat Longo. These are all songs that were favorites of Sid, and were performed at a tribute concert at Charlie O's on May 26, 2008.

I hope you enjoy them as much as Sid did.

Pat Longo's Big Band Tribute To Sid Bulkin

The opening and second songs by a big band conducted by Pat Longo, in tribute to Sid, at Charlie O's on May 26, 2008.

More to follow as I work on conversions from the Mini DV tape to digital, and further editing of the digital performances.

For those of us that were at the concert, the band was tight and hot, and I am glad to finally be able to put the live performances up on Sid's blog.

Pat Longo Tribute To Sid Bulkin A Success!

The tribute to Sid Bulkin at Charlie O's was fabulous. A 17 piece big band, heavy on the horns, with tight arrangements of songs that were Sid's favorites. All directed by Pat Longo.

More pictures. When the videos get here, they will be uploaded, as well.

Some of the family with Pat.

I know it says 8:00 A.M. so I will call and verify that it really is supposed to be P.M. We all know musicians do not work at 8 a.m., let alone get up at 8 a.m.! Once I confirm that it really is 8:00 p.m., I'll change the entry.

UPDATE: I confirmed it is from 8:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. The band will do two, one-hour sets, with a half-hour break.
