[Emeritiassoc] 4 Lads in Nelsonville, Nov. 20

[Edward Baum]

Jack Ellis sends the following message:

Many of our emeriti members well remember those great songs and vocal 
groups of the 1950's.  I'm pleased to tell you the very fine Stuart's 
Opera House organization has booked The Four Lads for an engagement 
performance on Sat., Nov. 20 at 7:30 PM.  There was some concern on 
behalf of the Stuart board there might not be enough people in our area 
who would remember The Four Lads and more importantly, to buy tickets 
and to come out for an evening of wonderful musical entertainment.  I 
strongly suggested otherwise and they took my word for it.

So, I'm now promoting it to my friends and colleagues who remember those 
songs of The Four Lads, such as "Standing on the Corner, Watching all 
the Girls Go By", "Istanbul", "Down By the Riverside", to name just a 
few of their big hits.  The group sold millions of records and traveled 
the world in concert during those years.  John "Bernie" Toorish, the 
original founder of the group, their song arranger, composer of a number 
of their record hits, and lead tenor, will be in Athens earlier that 
week and will be interviewed by David Palmer on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 9 AM 
on his daily morning show on WATH.  Following the interview, "Bernie" 
will remain on the air for another hour talking about his experiences 
and recording session as the program host plays a number of Four Lads 
recordings.

  I invite you to join with us in Nelsonville for their live show on 
Sat., Nov. 20.  The tickets are $15 and $20 through the Stuart's Opera 
House ticket office, 740-753-1924, a bargain for what should be a 
wonderful and nostalgic evening of musical memories.
