Comments on: Anita Garvin at Hollywood ‘80 http://www.waxapple.org/brad/blog/archives/3501 Brad's Musings and Meanderings Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:25:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Randy Skretvedt http://www.waxapple.org/brad/blog/archives/3501#comment-17355 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 06:34:05 +0000 http://www.waxapple.org/brad/blog/archives/3501#comment-17355 I second Bob's comment. I only got to meet Red a couple of times (and wish that I had interviewed *him,* since I didn't know until after his passing that he had been a member of Irving Aaronson's Commanders and Rudy Vallee's Connecticut Yankees, two great dance bands). Anita was generous beyond words--our Orange County tent invited her to a meeting and we offered to come get her in Camarillo, but she insisted on driving out by herself (about 80 miles each way) in her little red Honda Civic. She let me interview her many times, and I treasure the 15 minutes or so of Super 8 sound film I have of her talking about working with Stan and Babe. I second Bob’s comment.

But I'm relieved to know that I didn't somehow miss a NY convention in 2004! Well, since the text now says 1994, it makes my above comment kind of irrelevant.

She and Red were such a class act. I am honored to have been a part of Anita meeting the Sons. She and Red were such a class act.

But I have to wonder if the 2004 Sons convention really was in New York. Could that be a typo? I attend the 1994 Sons convention which was indeed in New York, and I think I would have been aware had the 2004 convention been in New York as well. But maybe not...maybe somehow the 2004 convention also took place in New York and I shamefully missed it... Another fascinating posting, thank you.

It's been in need of updates since March. As postman Charlie Hall would say, "All ya have to do" is to take your L&H articles from here and put 'em over there. Simple!
