The Seniors By Request

The Seniors By Request
Rite Record Productions, Inc. - Cincinnati, Ohio
Sides #27113 & 27114

From the back cover: The Seniors - a name that has become more and more popular around Cincinnati and the try-state area, have attempted to bring to the public, in this album, those tunes which are the most requested by their followers.

The outstanding characteristic of The Seniors is versatility. From the stage come vocals, comedy, and instrumentals, which are most exceptional. Whether the audience is listening to the mellow voice of Harry Clifton, the colorful (off color) stories of Mike Bridges, the piano styling of Jack Bridges, or, as this album demonstrates, the exceptional blend of three voices, the result is always the same - ENTERTAINMENT.

LPS 705
1977

From the back cover: I'm very please to be able to announce this new album. John Bachmanns's first! It is dedicated to his many friends and fans who have been loyal listeners and followers. John started playing piano when he was eleven, styling his music after his good friend Jerry Lee Lewis. As you will soon hear, after you listen to this album, John has developed his own style of Country-Rock with just a hint of Jerry lingering on. After several ups and downs and a single released three years ago, which did not receive promotion it well deserved, John met with his new managers Norm and Roberta Troupe. Who, since have become ardent fans and are the President and Vice-President of Southern Ohio Truck Lines, Inc. With the devotion of band members, John and managers, a lot of love and hard work, we are delighted to give you this new album… – Carol Cummins.

A special thanks to the City Of Hamilton, Ohio for allowing us to block downtown city traffic with the photograph for the front cover of this album was being made.

"punky" ala clarinet

Shangri La
"punky" ala clarinet
Town House Productions - Minneapolis, Minnesota

From the back cover: Tripping these days generally refers to getting "high" on drugs. But Punky Caldwell, that clarinetist who dwarfs his instrument, herewith gives you a different kind of trip. You might call it "10 straight shots of nostalgia, without a tracer." And who needs one?

Punky is eminently qualified, having done gigs with the likes of Billy Eckstine, Elvis Presley and several other big bands.

And he conjured up some side men to aid and abet in the offering, like Dave Perterson, a solid Hammond man, who has become close to Punky through nearly seven years of work together.

Then there's Drummer Bill Watkins, who shared a Japanese tour with Punky at one time, and collectively has worked with him about 15 years.

The final member was Jack Haggerty on Bass, a graduate of such bands as Red Nicholas and Art Pepper.
