GOLDEN EAGLE JAZZ BAND<\/b> returned to Farnborough <\/b>on Friday, 11 October 2013<\/b>. \u00a0The band consisted of leader KEVIN SCOTT<\/b> (tenor banjo, MIKE SCROXTON<\/b> (trumpet), ALAN CRESSWELL<\/b> (clarinet), ROY STOKES<\/b> (trombone\/vocals), MIKE BROAD<\/b> (double bass) and PETE JACKMAN<\/b> (drums).\u00a0 I mentioned last week that I peeked into their website, to check name spellings (www.gejb.webeden.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0 – click on \u2018Home-The Golden Eagle Jazz Band\u2019<\/i>).\u00a0 I had forgotten we posted a comment to the band.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most likely adapted from our own website, but temporarily lost, so you must check it out to remind yourselves of their first evening here!\u00a0 I did say \u2018You came, you played and you conquered\u2019.\u00a0 Well I have to say they did it again.\u00a0 There was so much dancing going on, with so many smiling faces.\u00a0 Well done again boys.\u00a0 Anyhow, here is a smattering of some of the tunes played.\u00a0 The first number I jotted down was \u2018Isle of Capri\u2019, a lovely tango, yes of course dancing took place.\u00a0 Our line-dancing was enjoyed with the next number called \u2018I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream\u2019 sung by Kevin. \u00a0The next number \u2018In the Sweet By and By\u2019 was sung by Roy.\u00a0 It has such a happy beat, so once again plenty of dancing.\u00a0 Dancing continued to take place with \u2018One Sweet Letter from You\u2019, which again was sung by Kevin. \u00a0That lovely number made famous by Harry James & Frank Sinatra, which again brought on the dancers, was \u2018Ciriciribin\u2019. \u00a0Next came \u2018I Thank You Mr Moon\u2019 which was sung by Kevin.\u00a0 He is marvellous on the \u2018mike\u2019, introducing the tunes and telling short funny jokes.\u00a0 However, I must tell you of the weirdest of things when he introduced the next number called \u2018Smile, Darn you, Smile\u2019.\u00a0 Before they started playing it, Kevin mentioned W.C. Fields and told us one of his famous many quotes.\u00a0 By sheer coincidence, I was working on the internet that morning, \u2018hit\u2019 on W.C. Fields somewhere, saw this actual quote and read it out to Keith.\u00a0 W.C. Fields had a wicked sense of humour!\u00a0 The quote was \u2018Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.\u2019 (Kevin emulated WCF\u2019s voice too).\u00a0 How weird is that, for Kevin to choose that particular quote, there must be billions of quotes over time, from all of history\u2019s characters from all 4 corners of the world (dom dom dom dom<\/i>)!\u00a0 To continue \u2026 the next number was also sung by Kevin, called \u2018It\u2019s a Long Way to Tipperary\u2019.\u00a0 Of course the audience naturally sang, plus again there was plenty of dancing going on.\u00a0 I filmed their last two numbers, which were \u2019Collegiate\u2019 and \u2018Walking with the King\u2019. \u2018Collegiate was a new one on me.\u00a0 I found out it was written back in the 1920\u2019s by a couple of students. \u00a0They had not set up a copywrite, but had been playing it on campus with their own band \u2018Jaffe\u2019s Collegians\u2019.\u00a0 Fred Waring was booked to play at their Uni\u2019s Annual Ball and was requested to play it.\u00a0 When he heard of the students, he met up with them and set about sorting their copywrite.\u00a0 Then recording the song with his own band ‘Pennsylvanians’ in 1925, making it a hit number, reaching No 3. Hopefully, our recordings will be good enough to put both numbers on the website, because they were great to hear \u2018live\u2019.<\/p>\n

Weather is pushing us into the winter months, so keep fit and well, so we can enjoy your company, especially at our Farnborough Jazz Club here in Kent.<\/p>\n

Keep dancing!<\/p>\n
