I'm Roger Muckerheide,& I used to li...Hi, <br /> I'm Roger Muckerheide,& I used to live in Milwaukee until moving to Texas in June of 1974. I remember going regularly to the dance hall at Wisconsin State Fair Park in the early 60's, to listen and dance to The Pharoahs with Artie, Jimmy Lombard, Mike Morgan, and I think Phl Zinos was with them then, too. Those were some of the BEST R&B MUSIC NIGHTS I have ever experienced. "The PHAROAHS" could really kick it!!!!<br /> <br />I think of all the fun and great music Artie and the guys gave us back then, and have often wondered if any of them are still around so it's really good to hear from Jimmy Lombard, Phil Zinos and Artie's daughter, Amanda, (who I've never met), and it's great that Artie is still singing. I wonder if Mike Morgan is still <br />"stingin' the strings"?? <br /> <br />Some years after Bob Beaudreau and his son quit promoting the weekend dances at "Fair Park", I went on to become lead singer of another local Milwaukee band,"The Vantels" for a short time, but I did something stupid that caused some problems in the band and got kicked out. After moving to Texas several years later,I quit entertaining, and I haven't been on stage since. I still miss it a lot, but it's my own fault, and another story. I'm really <br />sorry, Gary Jay.<br /> <br />A few years back,when I was back in Milwaukee, I got to enjoy Sam McCue perform. Sam sang and played guitar with another great Milwukee band,"The Legends" back in the day, and I got to hear and meet the Wisconsin "Super Harp", Jim Liban, that night as well. I also got a chance to visit a while with Bruce Cole, the drummer from "The Vantels", and talk about all those great times and folks.<br /><br />Since I don't check this forum very often, I'm going to leave my email address, in case any of the other locals want to say hello, or give me the latest Milwaukee buzz, <br />or cuss me out or whatever. <br /><br />Thanks for readin' this and for the sweet music memories,<br /><br />Rog<br />rajah44@verizon.netRoger Muckerheidenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11910289.post-72625565227076346012011-02-23T16:44:43.050-06:002011-02-23T16:44:43.050-06:00I'm Johnny Santoy and was Artie's best Fri...I'm Johnny Santoy and was Artie's best Friend during the late 50's and early 60's and just him and Big Al on Feb 5th at the ICC along with his Family.

I am the original Bass player on that session. There is no Organ on that song, what you are hearing is the guitar and horns doing the two note Ba-Dat before the Bass line. As I recall, it was recorded in '62, and was written for us as an upbeat novelty tune. We were an R&B band heavily into Bobby Blue Bland, Ray Charles, James Brown, and other mostly horn-driven groups. While it has more of a R&R feel, I never thought of it as Frat-rock. Some other recordings were My Symphony, It puzzles me, I'll take care of you, and Impossible, all on the Cuca label. Thanks for the interest in what is surely an obscure record. We were together shortly a couple of years ago with three of the original members including Little Artie, and did play a few shows. Sadly this is no longer the case. As an aside, glad to see Chuck Madsen is still around, haven't seen him since '64.
