About Orpheum Bell

"I do wonder what to call your music - I grew up in Snyder, Oklahoma, where my father played 'cowboy' music on the radio loudspeaker each Saturday from dawn to midnight. I heard hints of that - I went to school in Mississippi, near New Orleans and loved visits to Beale Street. I grew up dancing away every night every chance I got to big band music. And I heard a little of each from you. As you can see - the pleasure lingers on."

- Phyllis B. Wright (1916-2007)
