The sax player on the right side of the picture is the janitor and it was a gag shot.Norm McVeigh & Chuck Wood, March 2003
I am looking for people who knew Bud Osgood I did a google on an old friend and bandmate of mine from our Air Force band days in the mid-60's, Bud Osgood, and was distressed to see him listed as "in memory of". I would like to hear about Bud from someone who knew him before and after this period. We were both young drummers at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas.Contact Chuck Murray at cblakelym2@msn.com (3/9/08)
There were several other members of the Sharps that did not get mentioned on the Web page - There also was Danny Peterson / tenor sax, Larry Stewart / tenor sax, Art Welle / piano, James Adams / drums, Jim MacIntyre / bass, Ranleigh "Butch"" Snipes /bass , Roy Hawkins / piano and Robert Green / piano - I believe that's it - if I left anybody out I appologize and am open to corrections if there are any.

Correction re: the Filipino gentlemen in the picture is not "the janitor" He is or was a good friend of my family's, Macario "Mike" Gerbacio - no reflection on Norm's entry as I'm sure it was a joke - your's again sincerelyLee Parker, April 2008
Anthony Atherton, tenor sax, was and is a close friend and I lived with Anthony at his parents home in Seattle between 1959 and 1962.During the same time period I played with the Continentals (the second picture down on their web page shows me playing bass), the Centuries and filled in for the Dave Lewis Combo, the Wailers, the Statics and the Gallahads when Tiny Tony was a member.
