I'm Doc Fleetwood and I teach fingerstyle guitar and currently perform with the unique violin, guitar and trumpet jazz trio "Kilde, Fleetwood and La Freniere" and various solo and sideman gigs. A recovering health care provider (Doc is not just a nickname). We listen to Radio Deluxe from their web-page and KMHD radio ( KMHD.fm ) in Portland OR jazz 24/7.
Since things are rather slow on the NingThing, I thought I'd spice it up with a new photo. I've put it on my Facebook page as well (you're welcome to visit there as well). I love the hat, an authentic Yellow Cab cap from 1939. You've seen them in so many old movies, back when even the cabbies dressed up a bit with some imbalance of a uniform.
You can't quite see the Natural Lite beer sign behind me, but the Chesterfield ad puts the photo in its proper era.
This site continues to add new members, but so many of them remain faceless. And like you, they see little interaction, and visit little.
Always glad to hear from you, though. If either of us loses track of the other you can add my regular email address to you book if you like, if it’s not already on my page:
barry@moonlightgambler.com.
I’ve got about twenty-five of them and they’re all song titles; an inexpensive hobby.
Hi Doc,
I never tire of Ray's "America the Beautiful," and I believe it to be the best interpretation of the work. Clearly he loved this country; you can feel it, and that song will follow me out of the church when I leave this world. Since you mentioned the song, still posted, I notice that my July 4th post of last year is still up. And it still works as well.
I've noticed that you're still pretty active on the site and that's commendable. There are a few that continue to give it life, and you're truly are in the forefront.
I'm inclined to agree with Carmen Cabrerra, that the Pizzarelli's should make an occasional post here, just a few words as to what they are up to. How long can that take? And it would give the site a shot in the arm.
It's 1:30 AM in Los Angeles, and my wife just returned from a big wedding way out at the Trump National Golf Course at Rancho Palos Verde, some plush beach property. Ordinarily I would not attend such a function on a holiday, but it was for the daughter of a good friend. She married some notable NBA player. It was lovely, but took forever to get home.
Stay well and we'll stay in touch. And thanks again for the note.
Doc,
How have you been ? i love your music great arrangements great players i am snowed in at home. but your music is making me feel good !!!!! i have put some of my songs on my page that i did with my friends Jim & Dan(StradBo Land) also Song For A Brother is for my Friend Bob Snow that has brain cancer done with my best friend Brian i hope it made him feel better at least for a minute.. I did that at home on my tascam digital machine . thats as far as i hve gotten with it Mark chopper Land
Thanks so much for your warm words of welcome! I'm also glad that someone from the area enjoys this fine show. Thank you for the information about the alternate show on Saturday on KMHD. I really enjoy that station. My dad introduced me to the site and was a big fan of KMHD and recorded many of the Dixieland jazz programs. I'm excited about the Pizzarelli program and find it very appealing.
Hi Doc,
Thanks for the compliments on the guitars.
The jazz box you are referring to is an old Epiphone that I refinished after someone spray painted it! I did a four color sunburst from yellow to red to tobacco to black. You can see more pics at www.myspace.com/retrovjazz.
I love jazz! Barney Kessel and Grant Green are my favorites.
But Bucky and John are sure way up on my list!
There isn't a lot of music that I don't like, but most of what I do like is older.
I don't go past the 70's!
Take care,
John
Hi, Doc
Pleased to meet you in these interesting pages. I know you are one of the main souls of the site, so I am very happy for your kind welcome words.
You're right when you say in Spain we love jazz in spite not having real known players around the world (maybe most popular was pianist Tete Montoliu and saxophonist Pedro Iturralde). But I miss old years, when I could attend concerts of Oscar Peterson, Art Farmer, Dizzy Gillespie, Modern Jazz Quartet (I keep like real gold their autographs), Sarah Vaughan, Astrud Gilberto, Buddy Rich and many others. I know the new generation is also good, but I cannot miss the old ones. And I feel Pizzarelli is on the line of those classic musicians, that's for I like him very much.
Well, just some words to thank your welcome and wishing you Merry Christmas and the best for the New Year.
Greetings from Spain,
