Paper Bag 22 is upon us. The LOVE Bag and 60’s TV themes. More of the world’s great music performed by one of the most sensitive and aesthetically pleasing ensembles on the planet. Tentative Songlist #6 is on the back of this sheet. It is NOT in show order. Any last minute requests should be communicated to your section leader. Keep in touch with your section leader for up to date lists. Vocalists please see Mr. Barca and sign up for unclaimed songs (1st come, 1st served). Instrumentalists must check with your section leader for song assignments. On run-through day (Mon June 28) we must end at 9:15pm so the club can open. Please be on time that night and be ready when you are needed. Everyone please remember the secret signal re: Lester and his (you know) condition. Please get your ticket money in early. Rest up and then go nuts. I would like to list in the program the name and phone # or web site for any band you guys perform with. Give me that information as soon as possible. Also, please inform Mr. Guido now as to what name and number you would like on your shirt. We thank you. Please bring a can of food for donation to those in our community who are less fortunate than we. Thanks I know to whom
every bag shirt is issued. I am responsible for my band and crew. Itinerary |
#22 1999 |
The theme for this year’s Bag is the LOVE Bag. We like having a theme. We are also playing TV themes from the 60’s. As usual the music we are playing represents the time and places where we, the musicians, grew up. We are getting old you know. Jimmy Myers called me on the phone the other day at 7:30am. Now that would not be unusual in the old days, but now we are both on the beginning part of the day instead of the end. I have always enjoyed seeing band members greet each other at the bag, in many cases not seeing each other from one bag to the next. I would imagine the same thing happens in the audience. E-mail me at PAPRBAG @ aol.com. Tell me your Paper Bag experiences and ideas. Share your bag with me. We have had people meet at the bag, get married and start families. what about you? I’m sure there are some wild bag stories out there. We are planning a Paper Bag yearbook for the 25th baggiversary. Send your stories and ideas in today. Hey, ya never know. Have a good time tonight- we expect you, the audience, to sing, play, clap, stomp & whistle right along with the band. Please make sure that everyone arrives home safely. See ya next year.

This is the spot where I get to thank… Dick at Supreme Trophy in Huntington Station; Skylark Video; S-K Sound;, Mark Coffey and the crew at Goldman Bros.; WBAB, Minuteman Printing in East Northport; The Maker of the Melon Peggy Irwin; Lisa Layton for her wonderful work collecting and distributing food; my brothers and sisters working at the front door missing the show; my three girls, Emma, Sara & Sue for making me the happy boy you see here tonight. Mulcahy’s… is some great place to enjoy the Bag. From John Murray and Ken Tobin, right across to the bar backs, every one of the seemingly endless number of employees of this club is unfailingly helpful. These people understand the the Paper Bag at its purest essence. The Bag has matured these past 5 years, in no small part due to the support provided by these fine people. Please thank the Mulcahy’s staff when you see them. Patronize this fine establishment all year. The Savannah Joe Kommnick “Are these donuts fresh?” Moment Many of you in the Paper Bag community knew Joe Kommnick simply as “Savannah.” I had the privilege working with this gentle man in the clubs on the South Shore for over 10 years. Savannah Joe was a bright ray of happiness that cut through the smoky air and shined into your heart. He was always ready with a joke, your favorite libation, or an absurd movie quote . There was never anything harsh about Savannah Joe…none of the rough edges many of us who live the night life develop. I miss his company. In 1996 we inaugurated the tradition of performing a song each year that connects us with Joe, so that we may have a vehicle to help us remember this fine man. This year, Living in the Past is dedicated to Savannah Joe. In keeping with Joe’s sense of humor, and to ease the melancholy of the moment, before we begin the song, We ask all of you to place an index finger, held horizontally, just below your nose and all together ask in a falsetto voice …“Are these donuts fresh?” THE BROWN PAPER BAG is the only thing civilized man has produced that does not seem out of place in nature. Crumpled into a wad of wrinkles, like the fossilized brain of a dryad; looking weathered; seemingly slow and rough enough to be a product of natural evolution; its brownness the low key brown of potato skin and peanut shell, dirty but pure; its kinship to tree unobstructed by the cruel crush of industry; absorbing the elements like any other organic entity a No. 8 Kraft brown paper bag lay discarded in the hills of Huntington and it appears to live where it lay. by
