- End of Swing Dancing?!? -- Tats, 12:21:04 04/18/12 Wed (pool-71-104-85-239.lsanca.fios.verizon.net/71.104.85.239)
****THIS IS A REPOST FROM THE CARNATION PLAZA SWING BAND SCHEDULE FACEBOOK PAGE*****
You're not going to like this post. We have been told by a usually reliable source that there is a strong possibility that April 28 will be the last day for swing dancing inside the park. Ever. This source said that Disney management is planning to eliminate the bands and dancing at the refurbished CPG to be renamed Fantasy Faire. The future of swing dancing in Downtown Disney is also in question. The bands have contracts through June: that may be the end of swing dancing. Are we going to take this sitting down? Heck no! We will be doing a letter-writing campaign, circulating a petition at the park, and will have a petition online. In addition, we are going to have a heck of a "last night" on the 28th. We want as many people there as we can get. We are asking everyone to wear Hawaiian attire and it will be "Aloha Carnation Plaza" night. We plan to continue dancing after the band stops until they throw us out. If you want to bring cookies, cupcakes, etc. , feel free (don't bring a cake; Disney won't let you in with a cake). I will be posting a sample letter and a link to the online petition later.
*************

It seems like only a couple of years ago (ok, so it was 9 1/2) we were calling you BIT; for Billy in Training; when you and then-Billy Evan Marshall entertained our DBC friends playing mandolin at our house in Yucca Valley. Not too long after you debuted professionally, and now you're doing national tours. Happy 18th birthday from your first fans.

According to my sources, Swing dancing at the Carnation Plaza Gardens, may soon be coming to an end, as they want to use that venue for something else. I can't imagine it being used for anything but good music and fun dancing. Looks like it might be letter writing time again. If anyone has the address for writing letters please post it as I can't seem to find it.

I know this is not Billy related but it is Disney rellated. DA. Beau and I were shopping in a Disney store yesterday and after selecting our items, stood in line to pay for them . When we got up to the counter I got out my checkbook and the girl said. " Sorry we no longer accepting checks" They have a new computer systerm that won't process them. Looks like it is either cash, or credit cards, I don't know about debit cards as we don't have one. This was quite a surprise to us. Wonder if this is going to be true at the parks.

Hello, all... I can't make up my mind, and so thought it best to ask for a professional opinion or two on the matter.
HOW bad is the Disneyland crowd on Super Bowl Sunday? I've heard conflicting reports, which begs the next question:
If YOU had to choose between a rainy Saturday and Super Bowl Sunday, which would it be? I mean, we can't sit in the 'Shoe ALL day...
Insight appreciated,

Is Side Street Swing Band a new name for Swingtown? -- Hillary Kelley, 18:21:06 01/04/10 Mon (cpe-76-167-40-4.socal.res.rr.com/76.167.40.4)
I am completely out of the loop because the hotel labor dispute prevents me from going to the park. Disney's website lists a band called "Side Street Swing Band" playing on Saturday, Jan 16, 2009. I was under the impression that Swingtown would be there that night. Is this a new name for the same band? A new incarnation of the Side Street Strutters? Another band entirely? A Disney typo? Any information from those better informed would be appreciated greatly.

Evan Marshall, Scott Gates and John Marshall, The Billies and More!

Location: The Coffee Galley Backstage

City/Town: Altadena, CA
Description EVAN J. MARSHALL & SCOTT GATES, and BILLY & THE HILLBILLIES, featuring JOHN "SLAP-BASS BILLY" MARSHALL... EVAN J. MARSHALL is widely regarded as one of the greatest mandolin virtuosos ever. He possesses an uncanny technique which the Raleigh-Durham Independent called "superhuman," the Los Angeles Times called "remarkable," the Washington Post labeled "truly dazzling," and the Fresno Bee called "mind-boggling." Besides his "obvious virtuosity" (Pasadena Star News), he also has "in color and texture . . . a stunning mastery of interpretation" (St. Paul Pioneer Press). Evan's accomplishments are legendary among other artists of the plucked string: The late Chet Atkins called him "one of the few great musicians of our time;" Don Stiernberg calls him "The Michael Jordan of the mandolin." SCOTT GATES... has quite literally grown up on stage having spent more than half of his young life as a musician. Recognized nationally for his "Mandolin Prowess", Scott also plays guitar and sings with equal skill. Scott has performed on stage with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Blues master Rich Del Grosso, mandolinist Evan Marshall, Grammy Winner John McEuen, Banjoist/ Comic Steve Martin and a host of others. Scott brings his hard driving, innovative mandolin playing and a clear pure voice to his performances. Quite simply no one sounds like Scott, as his variety of training and playing experiences has given him a tone and a style all his own... and BILLY & THE HILLBILLIES, featuring JOHN "SLAP-BASS BILLY" MARSHALL... JOHN MARSHALL, founder of "Billy and the Hillbillies," has performed for about four million visitors to the Golden Horseshoe Theater at the world's most famous theme park during the course of 18,000 shows spanning 17 years. He also has brought his "Hillbillies at the Symphony" program to over a dozen of the country's premier orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony & the Houston Symphony. A consummate entertainer, he is widely regarded as the greatest slap-bass virtuoso in the world of Bluegrass.
TUESDAY, November 17. ShowTime: 8:00 P.M. Tickets: $18.

- Goldstar Events website is offering bargain Billy Hill @Norris Theater tickets -- Hillary Kelley, 12:02:09 09/01/09 Tue (cpe-76-167-40-4.socal.res.rr.com/76.167.40.4)
Just passing on info from my weekly goldstarevents email because I am sure most of you hear before I do about upcoming performances, but you may not know about goldstar's ticket specials:
Billy Hill & the Hillbillies (blue team) is going to be at the Norris Theater in Rolling Hills on November 14th, along with the Dapper Dans (Shelby, Bill, Bob, Jim) and Dana Daniels.
If you purchase the tickets from http://www.goldstar.com/events/30115.html
you can buy $36 tickets for $18+$5=$23 each.
($5 is the service charge per ticket for this event)
The only catch is that you do not know in advance where you will be seated. The box office assigns you a seat when you arrive for the performance. However, I have used goldstar's services many times for various events, and have always been pleased with the value. Anyway, "you pays your money and you takes your chances," as with anything else in life.

Miners & Pat Cloud rocked McCabes! -- Hillary Kelley, 03:36:12 08/23/09 Sun (cpe-76-167-40-4.socal.res.rr.com/76.167.40.4)
Amazing music from your friends Pat Cloud, Dave Eastly, Bob Moore, John Plotnik, Eric Brenton, and a harmonica player who was new to us! (Billed as "Pat Cloud and the Instant Brothers" to protect Disney's copyright)
Enchanting opening by guitarist Jack Mackenzie!
Rich sound design by Wayne!
Everyone in my family had a wonderful time at McCabe's Saturday night and I, for one, intend to hold my breath until a return engagement is announced, or at least until the "Live at McCabe's" cd release party. This concert hall is ideal for audiences who want to hear every nuance created on stage, and the players truly outdid themselves.
To those on stage: Thank you, guys, from the bottom of my mother's heart for a joyous evening.
To everyone else: "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." - Steve Martin
I hope that next time, and I heartily hope there is a next time, you will be able to attend the concert and know exactly what I mean when I recommend this wholeheartedly.

Happy 17th birthday! Guess we can't call you BIT (Billy in Training) any more now that you've actually performed as a Hillbilly.
We'll see you at the Coffee Gallery Backstage tonight and hope to see other long-time friends at your birthday gig. (For those unfamiliar with the place, check the schedule on ScottGates.com Looking forward to seeing you perform in Julian in September and our local Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown in October. Sorry, we won't be making your performances in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arizona... My that's one heck of a national tour.
It's been such fun watching you grow into the musician we always knew you'd be, and I'm sure you'll keep surprising us with even better and better music.

I don't know how much, if any we'll see of him, but Scott Gates (remember Billy in Training?) will be playing mandolin in the band backing Steve Martin on the Ellen DeGeneres show on Memorial Day. That's Monday, 5/25. I believe the show is on at 4:00 on the west coast.
Scott; who actually does appear with Billy and the Hillbillies outside of Disneyland sometimes; is 16 now, but was about seven when he started studying mandolin with Evan(formerly Mandolin Billy) Marshall.
Oh, and yes, it's THE Steve Martin, comedian, promoting his new banjo CD. From the little clip I saw online, it looks like Scott is on the far left behind Steve Martin on the show.

The four of us headed to Union Station this morning to see the train. We got there around 10:30 A.M. and after finally finding a parking space we headed for the LINE, along with lots of other people . When I said LINE that's what I meant. It would be a 3-4 hour wait to see the train. Needless to say we didn't wait, which of course Isabeau didn't understand. We instead headed over to Philippe's for a great sandwich. It took us 20 minutes to get out of the parking struture and it cost us $6.00. If you are willing to wait in line for that long go for it.

I am really excited to be going to see Swingtown for the first time in a long while, and I hope to see some of you there too.. I might even be able to drag Shannon with me. I plan on being there at 6 to get a table before the show starts at 7.... let me know if you are going to be there so we can all sit together :)

Well, in economically hard times tough choices must be made and Disneyland has made that tough choice.
Starting in February, Billy Hill and the Hillbillies will be reduced to 5 days a week with Tuesdays and Wednesdays being their days off. [Laughing Stock may take up the stage on those days].
The BLUE Team will still be on Sundays and Mondays. The GOLD Team will still be on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, but the GREEN team is no more! Even a bail-out from Obama couldn't help, so welcome to 2009 and go enjoy a few shows. Be sure and tell management how much you enjoyed the shows and see ya at the 'Shoe!

Today was Rock-a-billy Day at Disneyland. and to see if Billy's really can rock even rock-a-billy fans, about 80 rock-a-billy types invaded the last show. The energy level was high and the boys did not disappoint. A great show with a departure from the norm, including the real full length version of Orange Blossom Special, San Antonio Rose and plenty of Elvis and his train song. Pictures will follow in a week at www.thebillys.net.

They have removed the white tablecloths from the front tables at the Horseshoe. When talking to a cast member yesterday she said that they will no longer be reserving tables . That means that we can now find a front row seat. This is good news as most of the time some of these tables where empty, which I don't think the Billies liked looking at empty tables, especially in the front row.

Today as I was driving north on the 57, I saw an empty Disneyland tram going south on the 57. "Really odd place to see one on the 57 freeway." I thought to myself. Because of the concrete barrier I didn't realize until a minute later that the tram was actually attached to the back of a long flat bed truck.
.... Reminds me of the time, a few years back when I was going north on the 5 toward LA and a Disney truck came along side me. "Oh, a disneyland truck. How cool!" I thought.
As it speed past and changed lanes in front of me, I was shocked to see Melvin, Max and Buff from the Country Bear Show hanging out the back with a tarp over their heads like an old ladies rain bonnet.
.....Or the time I pulled into the parking lot [in pre-DCA days] and was directed to park in the row next to the Oscar Mayer Weiner-Wagon.
Why do I never have a camera handy during these events?
Anyone else have some unusual sitings?

Since Kirk and Dennis had the other show to do, and John was off, the line-up for Saturday's show was Kevin as lead, Keith on bass, Rick Dunham on banjo and Farley on fiddle. It was a great show with a mix of music from all the other teams. Rick did a great solo of Dueling Banjos (it was very funny!) and Farley did a great job with the OBS. Wish I had brought my video camera, dang it!

Yes, this is slightly off topic, but I believe some of us may be interested in trying the newest ride at DCA. In response to the ride's popularity, Disney recently added a "single rider" line (but no fastpass as yet). Jim and Joanne told us about the addition on Sunday afternoon.
When we tried it, the standby line had a 60 minute wait, but the single rider line only took about 10 minutes. Great fun!

For those of you unable to attend the Billys show at Saddleback College's McKinney Theater last night, you missed a great show. Several new songs were introduced including "Addicted to Love", "YMCA", "Scotland' [thank you Dennis] and a weird new Monk chanting thing, you have to hear to believe, plus tons of new jokes. A great show indeed with lots of first time Billy watchers, who are now fans.
Some of these new numbers just may make it into the OC Marketplace Show, so don't forget the Saturday, August 9th show listed below.

We stopped by the Golden Horseshoe yesterday (6/3/08) and heard from a new Billy who sang lead and picked a mean banjo in a Billy-bluegrass version of ZZ Top's "Sharp-dressed Man". What a hoot! I absolutely love these guys!! It's always great fun to hear what they are going to countrify next! I wonder if the Disney Imagineers can help them rig their instruments to "spin" in front of them while strapped over their shoulders somehow...wouldn't that be so ZZ Top!?
