After Hours Entertainment
Navy Band, Base PersonneG
Present ‘Keflavik Review9
Local talent set the stage at most clubs around the base this past week in the form of
the Keflavik Review. The members of the Navy Band and other base personnel participated.
Good music, both instrumental and vocal, plus comedy skits and a dance or two com-
prized the show.
Opening at the Polar Club, May 14, the review was emceed by Dave Scott and Mick
Spillane, radio announcers from AFRTS radio. The show started off with a swing-tune,
“Artistry Jumps,” by the Navy Band.
FETCHING LASS—Erla Trausta-
dottir puts feminine charm into the
songs she sings with the local
group, the Vestiels.
The Radio Log
John Stromberg, J03
“Tiger Bob” Burchette and the
“01 ‘Honkin’ Bear” Buzz Ship
are preparing to leave the big 84.
Both have orders to Jacksonville,
Florida and should depart the
first part of June, which leaves
the good guys without a honk or
a roar.
“Tons of Fun”, Wayne Long,
and the “Old Red-Head,” Tim
Vincent, are still on leave in the
States and should be back just
before we lose Buzz and Bob.
“Marvelous Marv,” Lee McGo-
wan, who does Teen Time on
Saturday mornings and many
other shows is also leaving us in
June. Lee has been with us for a
long time and will be missed by
many—especially Beach Boy and
Four Seasons’ fans.
At present we are still work-
ing on many program changes to
bring better listening. We should
have something definite by next
week for you. New schedules will
be printed and available at the
Radio Station, Bldg. T-44.
“Mother-In-Law” Sandwich
Among the 501 varieties of
sandwiches served in a pub in
Chalfont St Peter, England, is one
called “The Mother-In-Law.”
The ingredients: Cold shoulder,
strong pickle, and tongue.
The two masters of ceremonies^
kept making jokes and wise-
cracks to each other between
acts. At one particular spot
in the show, Dave Scott chased
each band member off the stage
while they were playing “You
Turned The Tables On Me.”
Ronald E. Kreischer, who works
at the Naval Communication
Station, was the solo male voca-
list and sung renditions of “Walk-
ing My Baby Back Home” and “I
Left My Heart In San Francisco.”
Another highlight in the re-
view was a “drum battle”, rem-
iniscent of the days of the big
bands. The men on the skins Were
Dave Keeping, the Navy Band’s
drummer, and John Cuccia, who
plays for the Vestiels.
For the rock ’n roll fans, the
Vestiels, comprising mostly of
bandsmen, entertained the audi-
ences with popular hits as
“Shout” and “What’d I Say.”
Of course, no show or review
would be complete without girls.
Combing beauty and talent in
song and dance were Miss Erla
Traustadottir and Miss Marilyn
Howell.
Erla, as everyone calls her,
sings with the Vestiels. She sang
such tunes as “I’m In The Mood
For Love” and by far the Ice-
landic-Americans’ all-time favor-
ite song on base, “Maria.”
A modern jazz dance number to
the music of “Rock Bottom” was
amply performed by Miss Marilyn
Howell. Later in the show, she
danced to the strains of a
“snappy” Charleston.
The review ended with the
band’s “bold and brassy” up-
tempoed jazz version of “April In
Paris.”
Credit and thanks should be
given to the Navy Band members
and the rest of the performers.
The group had spent considerable
time and effort, all free of charge,
to entertain the Station personnel.
The Navy band musicians who
made the show possible were
Glenn Blanchet, alto sax; Steve
Bosh,baritone sax; Bob Carey, pia-
no; Bob Clayton trumpet; Hal Ivy
trumpet; Jim Keeney, tenor sax;
Dave Keeping, drums; Darrell
Power, bass; Bill Stonestreet,
trombone; Eddie Tison, alto sax;
Bill Tripp, trombone; and Mike
Wagley, trumpet.
OOPS! SORRY BUDDY —“Every-
body’s little buddy” Dave Scott
runs into his partner in crime
Mick Spillane during the opening
skit. Scotty and Mick were the
emcees of the show.
YOU TURN ME ON—You pretty-eyed baby.... That’s the name of
the song lead singer Bob Carey is singing while Miss Marilyn Howell
adds spice to the act.
JuJt A Moment filea.se
SWEET MELODIES—Ron Kreischer gives his rendition of “I Left
My Heart In San Francisco” with a piano and base accompaniement
while the band relaxes in the background. Ron also sang ‘Walking
My Baby Back Home.”
by Gary Gracin, EM2

Managerial Breakthrough
by Juran
A new concept of the manager’s
job, is a sound and orderly ap-
proach to more effective manage-
ment in this work. In clear easy-
to-follow language, this book pro-
vides a complete understanding
of the universal sequences which
enable managers to perform better
when creating or preventing
change-the basic function of a
manager’s job.
A Man In The Wheatfield
by Laxalt
Written with precision, beauty
and compassion, it drives to its
startling climax with an intensity
of emotion that recalls Heming-
way’s Old Man And The Sea.
Robert Laxal’s story is a stark
and chilling parable for our day
and speaks of the corroding fears
and prejudices that are the age-
old foes of innocence, and which
separate man from his fellow man.
