'may all your hours, be happy hours...'
-douglas 'The Crooner' roegiers
Recorded live at Maxwell DeMille's Cicada Club May 17, 2009. For those
of you who always wish you were born early enough into the 20th Century
so that you are able to experience the thrill, excitement and glamour of
the 1950s and 1960s classic Rat Pack shows with Frank, Dean, Sammy and
all the other boys, here's your chance. Picking up where they left off
in the 60s, Douglas Roegiers, Dave Cox and a variety of performers
transform the Cicada Club into a swingin' lounge! Far from a show full
of impersonators, these guys (and dames) pay homage to the great
American crooners by bringing their own brand of style and entertainment
to the stage. Taking their cues from the swinging big bands and the
crooning Rat Pack, Roegiers and his band perform numbers taken right out
of the Great American Songbook in a manner of which Sinatra himself
would be proud. http://ClubCicada.com

One of my favorite gigs was singing for Miss Edith Shain (of the famous 1945 "Kiss" picture taken on V-Day) at Veterans events in and around Los Angeles.
Here is a video of one of those events, taken around Christmas time 2009.
