Where are they now?

Dave Scarlett (via email)

Dave Scarlett"Wow, what a treat to find your site and the Youtube stuff! I went to Westview and played on the stage band recordings you have. So many great memories, Paul Miner was the music director and was a great help to me. He suggested I go to Humber, which I did, and played music for a number of years on and off (I still do).

I remember the trip to Austria, so many good players. We had a Dixieland band that Mr. Miner and Bob DeAngelis, Glen Mitchell and I played in. I remember playing at some car dealer to raise money for the trip.

I later played in a couple of bands with both Bob and Glen. I haven’t heard from Glen in forever but I’ve emailed Bob and his family a couple of times over the years. He’s had a fantastic music career if you don’t know and even played Carnage Hall as a tribute to Benny Goodman. Somewhere in my basement is the book we had made up for that trip.

Me I got a “real job” as my Father recommended. Moved to Sarnia in 1985, been married a couple of times, no kids, a couple of businesses and still play music. Now in a country/rockabilly band of all things (Scott Manery & The Barn Burners), that’s been going pretty good for the past three years having opened for Brooks & Dunn, Toby Keith and Rascal Flatts last month.

Listening to the songs tonight has been great! And remembering the names from the album cover even better,

Thanks very much!"
