Subject: Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM Author: RANDY [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:25:40 02/03/03 Mon In reply to: Diego Pena 's message, "DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM" on 22:41:39 02/02/03 Sun It was actually COBBLESTONE JAM, created the hot and sweaty day before the Battle Of Flowers parade.... we were waiting, waiting, and waiting, and as we stood in an area to get into the parade, we jammed, and it was a cobblestone street... Bohanon named it, Alan, Eudell and myself created it. It STILL is one of my favorite memories, and favorite cadences I will never forget. The puddy dump dump puddy duddy dump was actually called LEWIS... it was a variation on some old military type cadence we added a bit of funk to. We still called it Lewis... others were Duck, Goose, Downfall, (from the classic snare solo Downfall of Paris) Eudell, and of course, QUEEN, after Mississippi Queen (do ya know what I mean?????) Others remain unclear, due to outside influences and cultural patterns that were a part of the 70s. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM Author: Alan D. Valentine [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:26:01 02/07/03 Fri Randy - you missed the most important cadence and the one Juli Perry asked about in the first place - it was called "Mitch" and was used after you moved to Louisiana for the band to enter the field. It was, however, a cadence that had been around a while and it was written by Andy Anderson who was a senior our freshman year - remember him? And believe it or not, I still remember ALL of those cadences and could probably even play them if only I still had chops... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Andy Anderson Author: Randy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:51:57 03/03/03 Mon Did he ever marry Gail Albritton, his hi sch. love? I'd sure like to see her.... what a sweet chick, and twirler extraordinaire. Shaun too. If Shaun Iungerich showed up, I'd have to just FREAK.... we were drum buds since 7th grade, and I thought it was cool we had a chick drummer. I just knew I'd see her in gymnastics in the Olympics one day.... what a gifted tiny little chick. LOTTA fun. ANY ONE hear from her? Her dad was a newsman on local San Antonio station.

ANdy told me they have a daughter. Gail was a pretty lady; her mom use to be a regular substitute teacher. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Andy Anderson Author: RANDY [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:47:53 05/12/03 Mon Gail is married to a doctor now, from what I remember at the reunion. I just happened to see her right before she left, and she looks GREAT! Still pretty as ever. If ANYONE knows how to get ahold of Shaun, pleeeeeeeease email me or post here. I would LOVE to catch up with her again.... we go way back to band with Mr. Schultz (who was my "mr kuentz") at Neff Jr Hi. Lisa, any ideas how to hunt her down??? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

She was married and had 3 or 4 little boys. She was suprised I recognized her, but I didn't think she had changed much. She was an awesome instructor. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM Author: randy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:49:13 03/03/03 Mon i thought that one was LEWIS Remember the solo we each (I think, I know I did) played in Jr Hi for Mr Schultz? He was my mentor, as Lewis just seemed to REALLY bring me down, didnt have ANY style, crammed the military "manner of march" boring style, and made me absolutely NUTS in band. ANYWAY it was Downfall Of Paris, to which we created our cadence DOWNFALL from. Also, any riff I did, Eudell had to try it, or play it better (to no avail) but he did have many fun riffs of his own, one being some kinda "quiet" stick click beat we played marchin out to the fields. Then we'd play it backwards, and I'd always freak him out playin it one way, then playing it reversed, like the left hand part in rt hand, and rt hand part with left, usually using the cowbell for furthur funkiness. DANG I MISS THOSE TIMES!!!!!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

If I'd followed my dream, I would have been a conductor, as inspired by Mr. Schultz. Dunno why, but he reminded me of Abe Lincoln. The happiest day of my life was when I was at Pat Neff: the day I found out that, because I was in band, I would no longer have to take P.E. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM Author: Juli Perry Briggs [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:08:51 03/25/03 Tue amen to no PE! However, my little brother, David ('82 I think???) got worn out with band and quit and went into Freshman PE as a senior, and I think it changed his life. He's run and lifted weights ever since then. But, never fear, the old 'bone came back out when he was a Singing Cadet at A&M and headed up their Dixieland Jazz section. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Anyone know how he is? I owe Mom an update. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

So accustomed to the email forums I participate in (for my profession) where you can edit after clicking on send! Mother "put me on a special mission over the weekend to ask" re: how Mr. Shultz has fared. If anyone who's still in SA knows the answer, thank you for taking the time to update us.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM Author: Scott Wilson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:35:25 03/04/03 Tue Sidestreet Jam was the one that started with the timbales, then the tim-toms came in, then the snares... "diddy-diddy dit-doh, ditdit-dahdit-doh..." I'll NEVER forget it, I played timbales my first year in marching band, and I really grew to hate that cadence. The timbale part was pretty monotonous. I always thought carrying those saggy timbales around was pretty humiliating too, until Mark Headlund was detailed to the percussion section because he couldn't play his bassoon while marching. Randy gave him a WOODBLOCK to play!! Randy used to say, "Hey, Woodblock!!" when he wanted Mark's attention. I felt so sorry for Mark, but he took it with good humor. After seeing Mark suffer this humiliation, suddenly I didn't feel like timbales were so bad! The next year I graduated up to Tim-Toms and snare, and my self-esteem was restored. Randy sent us a written-out cadence called "Momma Popcorn" from his new school in North Texas after he moved up there. That one was and still is one of my favorites. Very funky beat with the snare and cowbell. I STILL play it on my drums occasionally. Any of you guys still play? I bought a drumset a few years ago, after not playing since 1980 when I was in "Beat and Blow" in Air Force Basic Training at Lackland AFB. I don't play my set much, but my 14 year old son has really taken off with it. He's better and faster than I ever was, not that I was ever all that good anyway. He's just started with a new band, hoping to play local coffee bars or teen hangouts. I watched them practice last night, they just might make it! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: DRUM CADENCE - SIDE STREET JAM Author: Juli Perry Briggs [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:18:38 03/25/03 Tue Scott, you asked if we still play ... I kept graduating up and up in qualities of flutes until I owned one that belonged to the former principal flautist of the Boston Pops. Then, I set it down for a few years, picked it back up and realized I'd never do it justice again, and sold it in humiliation (funded a very nice First Cavalry-style military wedding with a lot of the proceeds!! and the flautist who had sold it to me was the featured musician at our wedding because I couldn't choose between the many vocalists I knew and I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings). My older daughter tried playing the cello in, I think, fourth grade, and she was horrible at it. I have to admit it is probably because she was sensory deprived in her earlier life... we adopted she and her younger sister out of a Third World orphanage in '97 at ages 8 and 9. Poor little thing, she was working so hard to keep up with her practicing, and I hadn't ever touched a cello in my life, but since I'd played viola when I was in elementary school and then string bass at both Neff and MHS, I thought she needed a little help, and I got ahold of her instrument, rosined up the bow, and went right in and played the heck out of several pages of her exercises. (I think it had been 24 years since I'd touched a stringed instrument!) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Who's holdin the woodblock now? I had forgotten ALL about the woodblock thing.... that is SO hilarious. Mike Groves, at our 25th, told my son the one about me playing the tympani when Mrs. Baumgardner came down the aisle in the auditorium, and I had forgotten that one too. Anyone else out there remembering stuff about me, it's probably true. LOL [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
