GEORGE \u2018KID\u2019 TIDIMAN\u2019S ALL STARS<\/strong> was the band chosen for FRIDAY, 4th<\/sup> JULY 2014<\/strong> here at our FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB<\/strong>. Trombonist GEORGE<\/strong>, always the entertainer, had booked PETER LEONARD<\/strong> on trumpet, TIM HUSKISSON<\/strong> on clarinet, \u2018SOUTHEND BOB\u2019 ALLBUT<\/strong> on banjo, JOHN SIRETT<\/strong> on double bass and BILL FINCH <\/strong>on drums. George et al certainly did make sure we all enjoyed ourselves, which helped Colin Dobson, with wife Jo and family, enjoy his birthday and their wedding anniversary. Colin was trumpeter with Billy Cotton\u2019s Band Show (of \u201cWakey-Wake aaaay\u201d fame). Oh, also it was the 238th<\/sup> anniversary of the American Independence Day, so last week I suggested a few of you Yankees might join us (I had a funny story to relate \u2013 see end of this newsletter). However, none of you came \u2013 shame, you missed a great evening and a chance to \u2018lord it\u2019 over us Limeys – ha. Anyway, to relate to the evening, some dancers were lured onto the floor to the first number \u2018You Always Hurt the One You Love\u2019, which was sung by Bob (brilliant voice). They had a hiccup at one point, much to the audience\u2019s delight, especially when George said \u201cIt was a brand new arrangement of ours\u201d :0)! There were some great solos by all with \u2018My Old Kentucky Home\u2019 and then Bob performed some great scat to \u2018Royal Garden Blues\u2019. Afterwards, George recalled playing here some years ago with Bill Brunskill before the club\u2019s extension (if I can find when, I will update here later). He recalled the club was half the size and the band played from the other end of the room. We were packed to the gunnels in those days \u2013 a typical smoked-filled jazz club atmosphere too (no smoke today, but still friendly atmosphere)! The number (which Bob sang) was \u2018Alice Blue Gown\u2019. By the by, the tune was written for Teddy Roosevelt\u2019s daughter. The next number was definitely for America\u2019s Independence Day, although written for their civil war, which was \u2018Marching Through Georgia\u2019, to which the front line played a great cavalry replica, brilliant! Another tune \u2018I Get the Blues When It Rains\u2019 is a good old favourite of George\u2019s. He made some remark to Bob about it being another Miles Davis classic! This was followed with George playing the swannee whistle superbly for the next tune \u2018My Little Bimbo Down on The Bamboo Isle\u2019. What came next was especially played for Colin, as it was Billy Cotton\u2019s signature tune, namely \u2018Somebody Stole My Gal\u2019 and of course we all joined in singing. The last number \u2018South Rampart Street Parade\u2019 is a favourite of Keith\u2019s and was played fabulously by all. Sorry to keep repeating myself, but another wonderful evening to remember. George \u2018Kid\u2019 Tidiman\u2019s All Stars will be doing our Xmas Party this year (19th<\/sup> December 2014)<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n

Diane and Keith<\/p>\n

N.B. My funny story about American Independence Day took place in 1976 (the Bicentenary year). My family were to visit, first my sister-in-law, married to an American and living there and then to pop over to my own sister living in Canada. They both asked if I could bring some tea bags as they couldn\u2019t get good tea in those days (although they had that year, but forgot to tell me!). So we appeared at Los Angeles customs with two boxes of 400! When asked if we had anything to declare, any food stuff etc, I replied \u2018No, oh yes- tea bags\u201d. When asked how many, (800!), he asked, much to everyone\u2019s amusement, \u201cHave you come for the Boston Tea Party?\u201d He passed us straight on, ha. I know-I haven\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n
