Tony DeGiranimo was Madeline's partner in the Jukebox / Pinball business. Many late nights. If I knew any more about their relationship I wouldn't tell.
Madeline was a Very classy female so it wasn't just your old age puberty stirring up your hormones. But she was a business woman first, to the fullest extent.

At the dismemberment of The Excelsior School of Music they were selling guitars and accordions for $10 each. I bought a few but didn't realize how good they were until they were all sold and it was too late.

That's the first time I've seen a picture of Tom Acey in years, knew him in the sixties before the Air Force. Here's a more recent picture of Tom. Last time I saw him was at the Joey Dee and the Starliters Concert at the New Hartford Shopping Center.  He's been the Controller for ConMed in Utica. Had a heart attack a few years back. |

Dave - I have found some of the ads in Fulton History and some are clippings from my own Newspaper collection. Anything I found on Fulton was a result of just plain Dumb Luck, and not as a result of a search for what I was looking for.
I expect you can tell Fulton History has been down for two or more days. It doesn't look good!. He's been hacked before and got totally wiped out. I've been using his site since he started up, for my Genealogy research.
I did see a reference to CD # xxx when doing a search so hopefully he has a backup of everything.

I played a short time with Edsen Collins before SSB was formed and we played a couple of weekends with You, Edsen, Ronnie Saunders drums, and myself. I guess I must have played guitar 'cause Edson played Bass. I know all the names. I do remember you from Bailey's at Hinkley. I think I was playing with Doug LaVyne at the time. It might have been a Jamboree. Arnold's was my last Gig except for one wedding at the Mayfair Jim and I played. I do remember catching your group SSB at Arnold's on a couple of different nights we didn't play there. |

I do remember catching your group SSB at Arnold's on a couple of different nights we didn't play there. I subbed for someone for a couple of weeks with Doug up at Bailey's that time. About the gig at Arnold's, Edsen quit and you subbed for him for the gig at Arnolds so you did play base. I remember when you came during SSB because we were just starting out and your encouragement meant allot back then. |

I remember when you came during SSB because we were just starting out and your encouragement meant allot back then. I'm sure you must be putting me on, or have me confused with somebody else. I can't even imagine encouraging anybody, ever. Well Okay, maybe once but don't ever tell anybody. I don't want it to get around. |

 This was the last time I saw Jim perform. I sure was impressed with the total show. Jim doing it all. |

 Way back when there was a Deller's, they had bands too. |

Oh yes, they did have bands. I went to a few wild weddings at that place too!

 Kim - 1975 - Maybe you can tell if Dave Martin is in the shot. |

Oh cool! I can't tell if Dave is there or not, but I'll send that to my mother and ask her. Actually, come to think of it, sometime around 1975 or so Dave drove his car under a log truck and ended up out of commission for a very long time, so he might not have been playing with anyone at that point!

Alright! Mom can't tell if he's in the picture, either, but she said that Dave was also in The Echo's, which he apparently started, in the 60's, then they were The Road Kings, and then Timmy O'Shea And The Echo's Of Time. I think I've got that all right. Dave's accident was in 1975, so I'm thinking he wasn't in that picture, but he might have been if it was taken before the accident. It's just kind of hard to see.
