Sing Sing Sing at Northwest Folklife Festival
29 June 2007 by ben.
When Bonnie and the Eckstein Middle School Jazz Band performed at Seattle’s Northwest Folklife Festival on Friday of Memorial Day Weekend, 2007, something unusual happened. When they began performing one of their signature pieces, Benny Goodman’s Sing, Sing, Sing, I heard the low, powerful rumble of a large airplane and looked up and watched in amazement as a WWII-era B-17 flew directly overhead. The last time that happened, Benny Goodman himself may have been performing, perhaps 60 years ago. There are only seven or eight remaining flight worthy B-17s, and this particular one I believe is owned by the Boeing Flight Museum, although it’s usually on tour somewhere else.

Phil Sings National Anthem at Seattle Mariners
17 June 2007 by ben.
The Seattle Mariners invited my brother-in-law Phil to sing the Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America during the game on 29 April 2007 at Safeco Field. In return for his voice, he received four tickets located in the “Commissioner’s Box” by the Mariner’s dugout plus field passes for the four of us (Phil, Marion, Kim and me) for pregame festivities. It was quite a thrill to stand beside Phil when he stepped up to the microphone and belted out a terrific version of the Star Spangled Banner.
