CKNX Production - Empire Stove Company Dixieland Jazz Band

[melodycouture]

I was about 10 when my dad, Rudy, played with Dick Noya and the fellas: The Empire and Furnace Stove Company Dixieland Jazz Band. I beleive the sax player was called 'Stonie' (something to do with his real name?). When these guys went dixieland you knew it. It could be swinging! Great times by the shore and at Sunday brunches. Sure wish one could go out for pre-diner drinks and hear this type of live music these days. Thanks toonguy for sharing (wink)..

@melodycouture: Thank you for sharing this great memory! What talent you have in your family! I remember being in a big fancy jazz lounge in Chicago and thinking "I could be at Rudy's house in Grey County listening to great music like this." Add to this, we lost CKNX TV, which captured this special goldmine of music. We take far too many good things for granted.

I bet they printed extra and hoped to make some dough on those at their concerts. Anything to keep the band afloat.

Nice subtle advertising on those shirts. ;-)
