Stan, -- I was at my mom's last night cleaning out some old stuff and couldn't believe she still had the Park Region Echo from December 21, 1961, just a few days after the Jaycee Jingle Bells Christmas benefit program. Jerry Van Kempen and Chuck Bundy were the hosts, and the show aired from 10:45 pm and was due to close at 12:30 am. The article states that at 12:30 the phone lines were jammed with more contribution calls coming in than the 5 people could handle! So the show went until 2:45 a.m. and brought in $1,635.35. The caption reads that the Silver Tones were a trio made up of Bill Davis, KB Tegland, Bruce Phelps and me....is that Swedish math?I had lunch in Seattle recently and Karl is still the best guitar player around.
