All right, well I'll tell you I I am You've got you've got to two of my brothers from another mother there and uh and and and while I I mentioned that I'd like to give a shout out to the Deer Suite Annette and uh Anette run a care their their dear sweet mother. He Anette love you and uh uh. I also just want to bring bring something up to talk about the Espnaut. I just got a

little quick little story about the espnaut. At nineteen eighty seven, when Mike Ducaccus was running for president, Yes, and I was shooting pictures for probably name for film by the name of Paul Reel, who was the publisher of the New England Entertainment Digest. I don't even know what give

it's around anymore, but I used to take pictures. So he took me to the yespernad that day and Johnny Cash was the guest artist, and so we we got into the trailer and he was interviewing Johnny Cash and uh and uh uh he said, uh uh, I was just trying to be interesting. My goodness. I was in there with me and him and Johnny Cash and Johnny Cash's manager, and he was interviewing and any interview was over and I said, gee, I said, you look kind of tired, mister Cash. He said, well, I didn't drink.

I look that bad, and the managers had a had a bit and he threw me out of the trailer. But but anyway, uh uh oh. About half an hour later they couldn't find their photographer and down under the hatshell there's a little maintenance office and they wanted a picture of Johnny Cash with Mike and Kitty Ducaccus. And my, my, my mind is going crazy of a man who I who? I know his name?

Speaker 5

Uh uh uh? Who?

Speaker 6

Who is the director of the Pops Back then? He did a lot of movie scores Bill and Bow, you know that, William John william John Williams, my goodness, and John Williams and Harry Ellis Dixon. So they brought asked me to do it. So I said, oh, brother, Johnny Cash had me thrown out of his trailer or his manager did so. But they brought me down to the little office and I sat in there for ten minutes with

Kitty Ducaccus. They're just smoking like a smoke stack, And finally they all came in and I got a I got a.

Speaker 5

Shot of of of.

Speaker 6

Johnny Cash with the Kitty and Mike Tocaccus and and John Williams and Harry Ellis Dixon.

Speaker 2

So that photo you still have that photos?

Speaker 6

That's a that's a good question I've got man, I'll tell you I've got hard drives with so many photos on him. I don't know. I might have it, I who knows. But anyway, back to the Winnakers. They they they helped me. The thing about Bowl and Bill Winnaker is, these guys could have been really really household names and big time, but you know what, they're too busy. They've been too busy helping other people. And they stayed here advanced themselves.

Speaker 2

If they would have gone to New York or California, obviously their careers would have skyrocketed. But they stayed home to New England.

Speaker 4

Absolutely, that's possiutely.

Speaker 6

And they because I used to see them back in the Parker House years ago, and then we reunited in twenty thirteen, and we've been just so so good. And I've done a lot of publicity work for them and stuff and graphics and they're they're just wonderful people and they have brought me through some tough times emotionally when you know I wasn't doing that great. They've been so encouraging and everything else, and I just I just love these guys.

Speaker 7

Jim.

Speaker 2

You know what, let me let me make this a very succinct point. Once they meet you and you become friends with them, they are good friends to you forever. And Jim, on that point, I gotta let you go because I'm a minute late for my break. But thank you for your call.

Okay, Well, if you're ready to go, I've got Josephine and Millis. All three callers on the line, beginning with Jay, beginning with Josephine. Welcome to nightside, Josephine, So.

Speaker 8

Thank you very much, Morgan. I want to say a special hello to Bill and bau in Annette. I grew up with them. I grew up with Bau. I graduated with bau Winaker in nineteen seventy from Millis High School. But I've known him Bill and Bow since we've been a little little kids.

Speaker 2

Out it says Jelt to theme. But I can tell you not a Jeosphine. What's your first name?

Speaker 8

I actually I actually am. I have a very deep voice, but I'm a woman. Yeah, okay, But anyways, I wanted to tell you that I grew up with them, and I've got a great story I wanted to share. Milliss is a little Tanny town.

Speaker 2

It's small, okay.

Speaker 8

And uh and and there was this man, Frank Gobala he uh uh mister, he brought the music program to Millis and uh he you know, he's brought you know, he's taught kids how to play instruments, and uh, you see all these kids, you know, like at one point, you know, nobody was seemed to be playing instruments, and all these kids are running around with you know cases with the you know, horns and you know, violins and

everything in it. So he, uh, he had this program going and probably about a year after he started it, he wanted to showcase everybody. So he put show on out of middle school. It was the old Memorial School, and of course, you know, different people played, but the real highlight of that night and just about everybody in their town with their parents were there at this school.

And the highlight of the night was Bo because Bo he he wasn't so much taught how to play by by mister Goballard because Bo's father was ed Winuker, who had his own orchestra, right, and and he taught uh, you know, Bow and Bill how to play instruments since they were really young. So here's this kid, bau Winiker said, you know, we called them Bobo back in those days, but seven or eight years old. And he comes on

stage and he was a finale of the night. And he played, you know, by himself midnight in Moscow with his trumpet, and he brought the roof down, I mean literally brought the roof down in that place standing ovation. That's all anybody in the entire town talked about for uh, you know, for my song ed. My father was a World War Two veteran and he just talked about Bobo every.

Speaker 4

Night at dinner.

Speaker 8

But that was unbelievable, that that that event, that.

Speaker 2

Bum bum bum bum. I'm humming it, bum bum bum bum b.

Speaker 5

U.

Speaker 2

I know the song, but I have no music. I have no music.

Speaker 5

Hey, Josephine, that that's a that's a phenomenal memory. And thank you for calling us tonight and for sharing that story. It's a fact of the story. And I remember it well. I was shaking in my head. I was shaking it. I was so nervous to be on the stage of the Memorial School, but I I got it out somehow. It was.

Speaker 8

It was phenomenal bo. I mean it was because uh, you know, nobody had ever seen anything like that, you know, And and that's all anyone talked about, you know. And and I remember that so vividly.

Speaker 4

And I, of.

Speaker 8

Course now the school is the town Hall, and I went down there to vote, and I went by that auditorium when I went to vote, and it's just it hasn't changed a bit. But I just remember that night

so vividly that that was absolutely incredible. And uh. But but the other thing I wanted to say about bo and Bill in a nut are you know, besides these phenomenal musicians, they are the greatest, warmest people you ever could possibly meet, and they're so gracious if you go and see them, they they will come around at intermission, they go to everybody's table that's in the audience and they personally greet them, and they want to hear all about them, what their story is, and and they listen

to you and they make you feel like you're the you know, the greatest person on the planet. But they are just such gracious people.

Speaker 2

And Joseph in what I've noticed when I've seen them, and I've seen them on a couple of occasions, they remember you. I've had them on busy I'm going to stay easily a half dozen times times over the years, somebody will start to tell a story and Bill o'bo are both will pick up the story from a certain point because they remember playing at this wedding, they remember playing at this function, they remember when somebody came to see them at Skip Jacks or the Parker House or

any of the other venues that they have appeared. You mean something to them when they meet you, because you meet them absolutely.

Speaker 8

And you know, I want to say a couple of years back, we got like ten of us because I graduated with Bow in nineteen seventy, but we got ten of our classmates that graduated with Bow and we all went into Biancas that's in Brookline. It's a restaurant home by another one of our friends, him Cushman, and we went in there for brunch and they were playing in there. And do you know that Bo brought in uh their CD and he and he handed he had one for each one of us, all ten of us, and he

gave us their their brand new CD. Uh and uh but you know, and Bill took pictures. Bill takes pictures of everybody, and UH is marvelous people.

Speaker 2

A lot of you know me, from being a part of BZ for Good Grief almost thirty years, and I am joined by two gentlemen who have been entertaining for pretty much double that amount of time all over the country, but primarily here in New England, the Winnickea brothers, Bill and Bo, and they're on vacation. They're up in Maine. But once I called to say, guys,

you want to play radio again? They said, sure, Morgan, and I appreciate the kindness because it's tired to find guests for the evening of July fourth, for a variety of reasons. You guys, ready to go back to the phone, Then let's go to Janice in Lake Placid. You're next to the night side.

Speaker 1

Hello Janie, Hi Morgan.

Speaker 9

I'm calling from Lake Placid, but I'm actually from Action Maths.

Speaker 5

Okay, we're up.

Speaker 9

Here for the fourth and you might hear some noise behind me. We're on the lawn overlooking Mirror Lake, waiting for the fireworks at nine point thirty.

Speaker 2

Fair enough.

Speaker 9

I just wanted to call and say how much I love Dylan Bow and Bo belated Happy birthday.

Speaker 5

Oh thanks so much.

Speaker 9

I can't believe the two of you are actually on vacation. I didn't think you ever took a vacation.

Speaker 5

We just started taking baking. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 4

Sorry, it seems like.

Speaker 9

You just go, go go, But I have studied that we have a long history with the Winnaker Band. They played at my cousin Christine and Mark's wedding, which is

almost forty years ago. And then when I got married, I wanted them, but they weren't available, so we had to go with somebody else, not the big band, but not the Winnaker Band, but we when my dad loved big band music, and when we found out that the Winnakers were playing at Skipjacks at Copley, we started taking my parents there and it just became a regular routine of going there to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. And I have two boys, and they both took up clarinet and

the Winnakers they welcomed him and he would play. The older son. The younger son did it once or twice, but the older son was a regular. So we would go to Skipjacks for Sunday brunch and my son, who was eight at the time, would men carrying a clarinet and Bill and Bo would be waving us in and so excited to see us. And you know, they always let Alex come up and play with them a song or two, which was wonderful because it really, you know,

inspired my son to continue playing. He played for a few years through middle school, and then once Skip Jacks closed, it was very sad because we sort of lost touch with them. And it wasn't until my mom, sadly was in her mid nineties and she happened to be in rehab at Life Care Center and acting and hadley. It was about a week before she passed, actually, but I saw on the calendar that the Winnakers were going to be there in the garden one night. It was in June.

It was actually seven years ago, right around this time, and so we took my dad and my mom out and my mother said, oh, they'll never recognize me, and you know what I mean, I have tears in my eyes now. I mean, they knew who my parents were. They were so excited to see us. And I know your other guest has said out you know, everyone's family or friends and they never forget you, they never do

and never. It meant so much to me that night, the way they embraced us in my parents and so they were always very special to us, and you know, my because of my dad and his love for the big band music. You know, they were always so gracious to him. They played any song he wanted to hear

on Sundays. But then my son got married and they had a reception at Savor in Boston, and so my husband was thinking and asking them, you know, do you need a band, and they were like, oh, we want something, you know, just small, and so he immediately looked up Bill and Bow and saw that they were playing at Niroli's and Norwood. So we took my daughter in law out there to hear them because my son works for

Arsenal soccer team, so he's in London. So we knew he loved We knew he loved Bill and Bow, but we needed to get her approval, of course. So we went out for dinner last August and I had my fingers crossed under the table and she loved them, of course, and so they played at their wedding reception three weeks ago, Wow Sunday as Savor and it was phenomenal, So Billo, it was fantastic, And then the pictures they took so many pictures during the reception, and they would take pictures

with polaroids. And also when we would go to Skip Jacks, they would take pictures of us and our group, and they got our address and Bill would always send the pictures out to us a couple of weeks later. I mean, wow, it is a while that having Bill and Bow at my son's reception two weeks ago, it just brought everything full circle. Not only was I happy that they were there to share, but it brought my parents in as well, and all of the memories.

Speaker 10

And the music, and I can't say enough about them.

Speaker 2

Jannie's great phone call, well, yeah, you touched our hearts so deeply with this call.

Speaker 5

Enjoy the fireworks, Happy fourth of July, and we look forward to seeing you at Nioli later this summer.

Speaker 9

We're coming, and we're coming in a couple of weeks, and my cousins are coming to.

Speaker 3

We'll see you.

Speaker 2

Take care of the July.

Speaker 5

Thank you, Thank you so much.

Speaker 2

Super great call. And guys, I was teasing about Nerola should have you every week, but you just do once a month.

Speaker 5

Correct, We do once a month right now, and eventually we may do more. But it just seems to work out. Well, we have a lot of other things that we have to do too, So once a month people look forward to that and we usually have a full house every time, so it's working just well.

Speaker 1

We'll tell you how to get to the After my next call, let me get Janet on before I have to take a break. Janet in Boston. Well, good evening to you.

Speaker 3

Good evening, gentlemen. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to publicly thank the Winnakers for just creating a wonderful memory for my mother and I many many years ago. They used to come and visit me every year in Boston. They lived in Nova Scotia, and the highlight the one thing they one thing they wanted to do every we want to go to the Parker House and have a meal. And frequently the Windakers would be performing and they enjoyed

it so very much. And this particular year, when my dad arrived, I knew that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and his behavior was very unpredictable, and my mom said, I really don't think we should, you know, go, and but Dad wanted to go to the Parker House and

we did. We went and we were eating the windakers were setting out getting ready and Dad got up and walked up and stood watching them, and I went to retrieve him and bring him back to the table, and he absolutely refused, and one of the musicians just you know, put his finger up and basically told me to go

back and sit down, and he took my dad. He put a chair beside him, sat my Dad down, and my dad sat there through the entire performance wow, tapping his foot, clapping appropriately, smiling, and when the performance was over, brought him back to our table. And it just created such wonderful memories for my mom and I. Because Dad passed away I think about three months after that, and I did write you a note at the time, but

that was many, many years ago. But it's so wonderful to be able to thank you in person.

Speaker 2

Do you guys remember this?

Speaker 3

I do.

Speaker 5

I remembered very well. Uh, and I think we did send some messages back and forth uh after that, Yes, yes we did. Yes, Well, thank you so much for calling tonight. It really touches our hearts as well to hear this story.

Speaker 3

Oh it really we we of course my mom has passed away now also, but it created just such wonderful memories. And uh, it just gave us our dad back the way the way he was before his diagnosis. And I thank you so very much for that, and we.

How are you? Thank you for having Dylan Beau on this evening? I am, first of all, I wanted to thank Bill and Beau for making so many people's lives happy all these years with your great music and your sensitivity to your audience. It's just so inspiring. Bo and I were at New England Conservatory together and we actually dated back in the dark ages, and he was always such a wonderful person and I remember the great relationship he had with Bill, and how wonderful his family was.

I had the great four of hearing the band and the three of them before them together they were just also wonderful and inspiring. So I just wanted to call in and say, I think if you often, I remember how beautifully both played my funny Valentine in Jordan Hall with the lucal horn solo with a big band. I think I'll never forget that.

Sure Well Nroley is located at two eighty two Washington Street in Westwood, Massachusetts. The phone number for the restaurant is seventy eight one three seven five two five nine four. Now it's very important that when you call to make the reservation, you tell them that you want to make the reservation for the supper club. Uh, it's a room

in the back of the restaurant. We've had some folks just make reservations for the restaurant and they end up in another room and then they call the next day and they said, well, we came and had a great meal, but we never heard you. So make sure you make the reservation for the supper club.

Speaker 2

Shane is producing tonight. Rob is off, but Shane is here, and Rob gave him all the pointers of producing for Nightside because Shane produces for me on Saturday night. But producing the Morgan Show is nowhere near as difficult as producing Nightside, much more

to it, and Shane's doing an excellent job. So now let's go to Colorado and speak to Kathleen. Kathleen, you're next here on Nightside.

Speaker 10

Hi, good evening. How are you all doing?

Ah. I love the weather in Colorado because you can get six inches of snow on a Monday and it's sixty five seventy degrees on a Wednesday. That's just about the way the weather goes in Colorado. Am I correct?

Speaker 2

I think, Okay, well there you go. I bet you had great seats whenever you wanted to go to a game.

Speaker 10

Well, it was all unusual. We did have some lovely feats, but we sat next to mister Yackey and he didn't like to hear any noise.

Speaker 2

Ah well, he paid attention to his team out in the field.

Speaker 10

We weren't really allowed to cheer, but that way, why not, because mister Yackey did not like cheering in.

Speaker 4

The next box. So that was bad.

Speaker 10

So to this day, I go to a sports game and I don't cheer.

Speaker 2

If if he has had a home run, you couldn't say yeah, yeahs.

Speaker 10

Uh no.

Speaker 3

It was very quiet.

Speaker 2

Oh dear, I took the fun out of going to a game.
