Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's night Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you easy, well, thank you very much, are you?
Let's try that in English? Shall we? Al? And I
hold forth here on BZ Saturday nights. So I'm used
to hearing al do news when I am here on
(00:23):
Saturday on The Morgan Show, and that timeslot is ten
to midnight. But here I am halfway through four hours
of night Side with four hours to go. Somebody dropped
off during the news. We had three people on. But
there's an open line, so if you want to grab
it six one, seven two five four ten thirty eight
(00:45):
eight eight nine two nine ten thirty.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yes, how about if we just spend another few moments
on neuroli and I can give out the address and
the phone numbers, so please do so. We perform once
a month, as you know in Our next performance is
on the fifth of December from six to eight pm
(01:13):
at the Nioli Restaurant to eighty two Washington Street in Westwood, Massachusetts.
And if you have your pens and paper ready, the
phone number there is seven eight one three seven, five
two five nine four. Now, the best way that I
can describe our performance there the two hour performance. To me,
(01:37):
it seems like a wedding without a bride and groom.
People get up and they dance. People who don't know
people end up meeting them and becoming great friends. And
it's just such a happy place. So those of you
that are listening that have never been to Niroli before,
give it a chance. And when you make your reservation,
(02:01):
make it for the supper club. It's part of the restaurant,
but it's in the back of the restaurant and it
holds about seventy guests. It's very comfortable back there. The
staff is lovely and the food is marvelous. So please
give it a try, and come up and say lo
to us when you come.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
All right, And two quick things. The caller just before
we took a news break asked the question where did
Channel two get those call letters g b H. Anytime
you've looked at the Blue Hills of Milton, you look
up there and you see towering antennas there there's an
(02:42):
array of them, two, three, four, whatever, and one of
those is the antenna for Channel two. Therefore they use
that for their name. G b H WGBH. They're kind
of forced to begin with a W. One all east
(03:02):
of the Mississippi radio and TV stations begin with W
except KDKA and Pittsburgh. And I'm not going to go
into why that's an isolated difference, but Great Blue Hills
that's where those call letters came from. And Boston has
done that with a number of their calls. For an example,
(03:28):
channel five WCVB stands for channel five. The Roman numeral
for five is v CVB, Channel five Boston. The old
fifty six used to be WKBG and they were owned
(03:50):
partially by the Globe Kaiser Globe Broadcasting. They changed to
L V I, going back to Roman numerals again. LVI
is the number fifty six, L for fifty, V for five,
and I V and I together is six channel fifty six.
(04:13):
I think I've covered all of them. Now I'm tired.
I will go. Oh. Before I meant to ask, Chris,
Gene you an ex give me literally thirty seconds. Guys,
when I came to see you in Brookline, there was
a female performer with you, and I thought she was
(04:34):
very good. I cannot remember her name is.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Her name was wait. Her name was Zoe, and she
moved to Las Vegas and she got married about a
month ago to a bartender out there in Las Vegas,
and she's gonna they bought a home and she's gonna
make her career in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Will good do me a favor next time you speak
to her, tell her I'll be coming out there in April,
and I don't know the date yet, but I'll be
doing one of my quick shows with Big Elvis at Harris,
which is in between the Flamingo and the Venetian.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And y Well, we'll tell her in the If you
win the lottery, we'll cover with you fair enough.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
If I win the lottery, I'll put you in the
first class seat. It's no problem. Let me take Gene
from me. Gene, thank you for calling. Sorry had to
hold so long.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Hello, Did I lose you there?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
It sounded like I had Billy bow. It's been too
long since we've been together, my friends.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
For sure. It's so great to hear your voice.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
It's always great to hear your voice, Bobo. It's even
better to hear your horn.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh yours too, Oh.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Thank you? It's uh you know more. And one of
the things that nobody's touched on tonight is that nobody
makes the party happen like the winter curse you can get.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It's been mentioned.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
It can't be mentioned enough because what happens when Bo
and Billy and the band take the stage. The crowd
is guaranteed a great time, and they'll keep them going
and keep them going and keep them going, and you'll
get to the end of the night and people often
will want want another hour or two hours, or however
(06:33):
long they can get because they're just having such a
great time, you know. And I can remember back with Eddie,
their dad, the father and founder of the Winter Family Orchestra,
and Eddie used to say, you know, no matter how
I'm feeling during the course of the day, or how
tired I am, or you know how much it's been
(06:55):
a tough day, when I sit down and I start
to play, it's a great day because I'm playing music.
And they Bill and Bow have kept that going and
it's just it's the best way to celebrate. You can't
possibly find another band anywhere in the New England region
that performs like the Winnakers do, and they do it
(07:17):
all I mean jazz, from classic jazz to swing era
to you know, oldies but goodies right up into top
top charts that are current today and they do it all,
and they've done it continually for a long long time,
starting from when it was just a family group with
(07:41):
Eddie and Annette and Billy and Bow, and then through
the years adding on and adding on. I think you
know when I first started playing with the organization, which
is like thirty six, thirty seven years back, maybe on
time back, I'm dating myself, but I can remember one
(08:02):
New Year's Eve. I think there were three big bands
out and probably eight or ten.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Combo bands out.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
You know, all in the same night on New Year's Eve.
You know, it was an amazing time to be a
part of the organization. And you know, Eddie had his
his band, Bo had his band, Billy had his band,
and then uh some of the premium players from their
bands went out and led other bands at night and
(08:31):
that night, and it was just an amazing time, amazing
times of you making music.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And I know that you are closer to the group
because you said Bobo as a nickname, Billy as Bill.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Genie is the family. And I should tell you that
Genie played trumpet in my father's band, and you know
she is one of the greatest trumpet players, honest and
goodness that I have ever known. She's brilliant. She's a
great teacher. Uh and she's just a great musician, and
she's just a natural and uh boy, you know we
we've had a love affair with Jeanie for for years
(09:16):
and years. And it's just so great of you to
reconnect tonight because you know you're up in Maine now
and and uh, you know we don't see each other
or spend enough time together like we used to. But
you're so wonderful, wonderful to reach out to us.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Tonight, Jeanne, thank you for taking the time to call.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
I love you guys, madly. We love you more, big hug, Diet.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah that's a musician that Yes, there you go. See
what I mean. You guys are good at trivia as well.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Music trivia, but not like you. You you can do
any any subject. We're great on music.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You can do magic, well I could.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I used to dabble in magic. But that aside. There's
a caller who's been calling on the contest line every
five minutes since you guys have been on There is
an open line to that call dial dial either six five,
four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to nine
(10:33):
ten thirty damn will answer the call, put you on hold,
and you'll get to speak with the Winnickers or anybody
else who wants to call in to do that.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Morgan, Morgan, I'm sorry, but last time we were on
the show, I asked you for permission for a couple
of special people to be able to use that line.
So they don't even know the other numbers, so I
wish we could take those that. There are a couple
of special calls.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So someone's calling on it right now and there's an
open line on the regular number.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I not even know though, but they don't even know
the regular number.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And then I'll say the regular number again because I've
been repeating it all night long. Six one, seven, two,
five four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to
nine ten thirty.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
The problem is, the problem is, Morgan, they don't have
a radio, so they're far away so they're not hearing it.
They never hear that, so they just think they can't
get on, and.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Then how do they know the contest number.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I gave it to them because I asked you the
last time we were on if I could give it
to a couple of people, and you said, okay, yes
I did. So if you could have Dan, please take
the call. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
All right, I will and we won't do that again.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Sorry, okay, and next time the contest line rings, take
the call and put them in que. I am late
for my break, good grief. Time at temperature here on
nights side ten, eighteen thirty nine degrees.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Nightside Studios.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I' WBZ News Radio. I do think we have worked
through the phone issues. We have full lines. I'm about
to go to work in Chestnut Hill. We also have
Gene and Brookline and Steve and Sudbury Ruth. It's your
turn to speak with Bill and Bo Winnicer Ruth.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Thank you, Morgan, thank you for taking my call. Hey,
Dylan Bow, I'm actually calling you from Brooklyn, New York,
where I'm spending Thanksgiving with my cousins. We're having a
wonderful time. And I was really happy to hear Tom Aaron.
Tom and I know each other well through our love
(13:00):
for the Winnakers, and I wanted to embellish a little
bit on what he said, because the Winnakers have a
secret sauce. They're fantastic musicians and.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Their music is great, but.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
I shouldn't say, but I should say, and they really
connect to the audience and that's what or the guests
or whoever they're playing for, and that's what really makes
them so special. And they've played hundreds and hundreds of
weddings and corporate events and gallas and bar misos and
(13:49):
all kinds of really special events. But what's really even
more special about them is that they really have heart.
And they play for many many senior living facilities all
around the Boston area, independent living, assisted living, nursing homes,
(14:15):
and they do such a wonderful job and they really
connect with the people and they bring them so much
joy that it's just so so special.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And you know what it's like floating on a memory
cloud at least the last three things you mentioned, assistant living, uh,
nursing home, nursing homes. Thank you for helping me get
to those words. And that's the key. You've got an
(14:54):
audience specifically that's mine locked in on big band, on swing,
on light jazz, and they could tell you almost the
entire litany of songs by Duke Ellington or the Thundering Herd,
(15:22):
and down the line they find Frank and Sammy and Dean.
They necessarily stop their memory at the gate of nineteen
fifty nine or nineteen sixty, so they couldn't tell you
anything about the Beatles. And if somebody wanted Beatles, of
(15:45):
course Bill and Beau could do a whole thing on
the Beatles. But they know the music that their audience
wants to hear, and that's very difficult to do, to
play for an audience, knowing what they want, giving the
audience what they want, and sticking to it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But you know, Morgan, we got that training in the
early years where our dad prepared us for a life
in music of being available to play any style of
music that anybody wanted to hear. And that's why we
can go from one genre to another quite nicely.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And that's an important thing to be able to do.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
It's just so special at these senior residences. I've been
to many of them where they played, and I tell
them that they have the best job in the world
because every day they have the opportunity to make people happy.
So that's what I wanted to say, and they know
(16:53):
I love them. I'm their sister from another mother, so.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Well, I'm supposed to say that I'm the sister from
another mister, Ruth. Thank you for your call.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
You know, let me just say one more thing. Ruth
lights up the world wherever she goes. She's so kind,
she has a heart of gold, and she does good
things for people all the time. So thank you very much.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
Okay, thanks a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Good night, Ruth, good night, Thank you all right again.
A line is now available six seven, five, four ten
thirty or eight eight, eight nine nine ten thirty. And
I'm so close to time to take a break, but
I'm going to go to Jean and Brookline so she
(17:44):
won't have to hold through a news hit.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Hello Jean, say il aiyah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I you have called before because I remembered your name.
Speaker 9 (17:55):

reading going oh ooh. I dropped the airphone and said,
it's after o'clock. I forgot to put some boards down

Speaker 9 (18:23):

it would have been, like, I just give di thinct
possibility of me breaking my haircut again. So I had
a not so for that time. Again. Yeah I did
that once, but the next time you're playing now. I
(18:45):
think Bill told me it was eighth, but me told
me it was the fifth. I kind of believe Marie

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Let me be easy next Thursday, six.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
Days now, all right, So I yeah, I have to
tell you one thing, Morgan.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
The only reason Jeane knows of us is because of
our appearances a couple of years ago on your show.
And then she started coming to Brothers and now she
comes to Neoli. She's a wonderful woman. And uh, but
she heard us on your show. You're responsible for this, Morgan.
Speaker 9 (19:27):
Yeah, you are.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
I originally heard you at a wedding that was actually

got married and a lot of nurses were invited.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
We had a good Thanksgiving, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Andgiving.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
I had a very low nice Thanksgiving. I went to
one of my friend's house and there was like six
kids on the age of ten and a bunch of
adults and it was just kind of wild. We wasn't quiet,
not with the little ones running around.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That was pure.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Yeah, they're in the corner by themselves. They weren't even
near us. They were on the other side of the room. Yeah.
But yeah, I'm glad I found bone Bill because it
was long. It was a long dry season, not knowing
where they were or where they were playing until I
heard them once again on listening to you, Morgan, and
(21:15):
that's when.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Feel and I.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
Talk, where are you playing? When are you gonna be
playing there? And I'm quite happy that I was listening
that night. They'll always have to listen.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
To you, Morgan.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
But she's very happy that I was very happy that night.
So I will let somebody else get on the phones.
I know you have a bunch of callers waiting, and
I will definitely see the will before Christmas, but I
don't I'll see. I'll try to talk to you, Morgan,
(21:49):
but lots of times the trees such way and truly
open my head. I love listening to it, going huh yeah, no,
it's yeah, it just doesn't work at all in my brain.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
All right, well, all right, you take care.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
You too, all right for your call, keep calling, Bye
bel bye bye.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm going to get in trouble again being late for
my news hit time and temperature on night Side ten
thirty two thirty nine degrees.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
It's night Side with Dan Ray, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I am now going to go to Sudbury and speak
to Steve so Steve can speak to Bill and Bo Winneker.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Hello Steve, Good, good evening, gentlemen. How you doing all right?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Very well?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Thank you Bill.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
I enjoyed listening. I've tried before to get in but
I hadn't been successful, so tonight I struck gold Well
you're here now I'm here. You know, I know the
spirit of the show is all about the winnakers and
the music. And I've been to several of their performances.
As I'll say, they don't just play, they short give
(23:05):
him a show. But tonight I want to bring a
little different flavor to the night. My relationship is really
with bo Morgan. It goes back, and there's a generational
piece to this. Our parents, my mother and his dad
grew up together at Miller's mass and what you can
(23:26):
understand was a very musical talent back then. They'll probably
shed some tone on that. But over the last thirty years,
Bow and I have found ourselves as members of the
same golf club. I established a very very tight relationship
and albeit very competitive relationship on the golf course. I'm
not so sure any of his fans, no, but his
(23:49):
talent with his horn is almost matched by his talent
with his golf club. He's a fierce competitor and he
doesn't like to lose.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What's your hand cap?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Bo?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Oh? Well, handicaps at back and anyway, Uh, it's a
lot higher than I wish it was, but it's going
to be better next year.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
All right. Now, we'll leave that open to answer it
later on. But Steve, what's your handicap?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I play?
Speaker 10 (24:20):
I don't know, somewhere around nine or ten. And Bow's
right there with me. Don't let him, did you? You
can ask him, you can ask him what side of
the bank account gets more him on me and I
will it's his.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Well, let me ask this question in your life and
both be prepared. You're going to answer it too.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
First, how many hole in ones have you had? That?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Two?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Okay, I've had one.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
One for me birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, I had one on my birthday a number of
years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Oh, happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
What are your trumpet on that?
Speaker 10 (25:04):
I'll share a story about last year. We play in
these inter club matches and Bow and I team up
pretty nicely together and we're going down the next to
the last fairway and we're talking to the competitor, a
big tall man. I think you remember him, Bow, don't you.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
I believe I do. I don't remember his name.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Yeah, And we're walking down the fairway and I said,
you know this guy that we're playing golf with, because
in my eyes, Bow will always be a celebrity and
he won't talk about himself, but I'll give a little
hint as to who he is. And I mentioned his
name and he lit up. And we're walking down the
fairway a little bit further and Bow and I talk
and we decide in the surprising there's a dinner after
(25:47):
this event, as there always is, and we decide that
Bo is going to be solicited to do a little
number for us. And so this gentleman gets up put
Bo in. This bought total surprise.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Weren't you both, You're very very surprised, no idea.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
And he lit up, He lit up the room, and
at the end of his little performance, everybody we started
seeing hands raised all over the room. And this was
one club versus another club. There were twenty guys in
the room, and one by one they started talking about
the fact that Bow played at their wedding, or played
(26:25):
at their parents parents wedding, Bow played at my son's
Bob mitzvah. There were twenty people in the room and
at least thirteen people had a direct performance from Joe
Bill and Bow.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
How about that?
Speaker 10 (26:40):
It was a great, great performance.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, Steve, excellent story. Thank you for calling into Yes.
Speaker 3 (26:47):

Speaker 2 (33:03):
The last roughly eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Last Hurrah, The Last Hurrah. Now, you know we played
in the Last We played in the Last Hurrah for
fourteen years. It's a good place to start. We played
in six nights a week and Sunday afternoon brunch from
nineteen seventy seven to nineteen ninety one. Oh, that's in
the Last Hurrah at the Parker.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
House, right, yeah, so, oh no.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
It was a great opportunity for us, you know, and
you were talking about Deanie Seagrill in the first segment,
and my parents and the Dunfees who owned the hotel
used to go there once a week that they would
eat at the Parker House a lot. We my mother
and father lived in the Parker House for the for
ten years when we were playing there, and they became
(33:52):
inseparable with the owners of the hotel, and so they
would eat in the hotel. But they would often once
we'd go to Dan Niece and once a week go
to Marlyov.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Did they ever run into governor at King Oh?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Absolutely, yeah, you know, we we were so lucky that
we became friends with all the governors because we were playing,
you know, a lot of these charity balls around Boston
and the governors would be there, and we ended up playing, uh,
weddings for Kevin White and Maya Flynn became a very
(34:28):
close friend all the all the mayors, uh, you know,
and our run there became friends. It was just, you know,
being a musician has given us the opportunity to meet
people that we never would have met in our lives
and go to places we never would have gone in
our lives. We somehow, when my mother and father Bo
(34:52):
and I were the original band, after my father gave
up as band, somehow we did a wedding at in Newport,
and uh we got in with the Cabots and the
Lodges and the Vanderbilts and and as a as a
family band. I don't know how this happened. They all
started hiring us. We played in their homes and their
(35:13):
children's weddings and anniversary parties. Henry Cabot Lodges tell tell
about Henry Cabot Lodge well.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
And well, Henry, yeah, we we we played for the
Lodges and and uh, I you know, Henry sat on
the piano bench with my father and he was just
amazed to see the family band. But as Bill was
saying to you, we just had so many great opportunities
in our lifetime, traveling all over New England. We spent
(35:44):
a couple of summers on Block Island, playing at a
resort there ballots in.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
We played a few summers on Cape cod at the
Cape Carter Hotel. Well, do you know that the mask
the mask Marvel own that hotel with the wrestler. Yeah,
did you know that?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Well, you know, it's not a good day when you
don't learn something. But I'll tell you what a hotel
that was. It was a.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Huge facility, Okay, it won that all the things, you know,
swimming pool and functory room. I played the pinball machine
that was down off the laundry room.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
And I remember that pinball machine.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It was based on game shows if I remember correctly.
Tell you what. We've got one more college to take.

I was just wondering. Have you guys ever done a
night of Sinatra music?
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Yes, all the many, many many times we need to do. Yeah,
we used to do them right behind the Boston Harbor
Hotel on the wharf. We did Sinatra nights. We've done
a lot of Sinatra nights for private events and uh
and when we play it Narole, we do a lot
of Sinatra. Okay, So we love his music. I mean,
(39:38):
Frank is one of the greatest.
Speaker 8 (39:40):
Uh you all time?
Speaker 11 (39:42):
Do you like Michael Buble?
Speaker 4 (39:44):
We love Michael Buble?
Speaker 11 (39:46):
Oh great, great, I do too, music too is that
kind of thing too. All right, well, I don't want
to keep you. I'm just curious about that. I'd like
to see some nights.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
You've got to come to Naroley. We'll play some Boublay,
play some Sinatra, and I know you like good music.
Speaker 11 (40:03):
Thank you. Yeah, I do, I really do. It's funny.
I was gonna go to Brothers one night and I
found out a close and went to some other venue
someplace I can't think of the name, Vello or something.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Yeah, we've got we've gotten the rollie now, so you'll
be able to come, okay.
Speaker 11 (40:25):
All right, Well it was nice here with you.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Guys and gentlemen. As you could see, you're still hot.
You still got it.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Thank you, Morgan.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
You're very welcome. And I don't know if I'll be
there Thursday, but I will come by one of these
once and on Thursdays just to say hello.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
Yeah, we know we want you and Nancy out there.
You're our guest. You just come whenever you can let
me know. That's all all right.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I gotta let you go because my time is up.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
But happy holiday to you, to my friend, our friend,
take
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Care, bye bye, all right, time ten fifty eight, temperature
thirty nine degrees
It's night Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you easy, well, thank you very much, are you?
Let's try that in English? Shall we? Al? And I
hold forth here on BZ Saturday nights. So I'm used
to hearing al do news when I am here on
(00:23):
Saturday on The Morgan Show, and that timeslot is ten
to midnight. But here I am halfway through four hours
of night Side with four hours to go. Somebody dropped
off during the news. We had three people on. But
there's an open line, so if you want to grab
it six one, seven two five four ten thirty eight
(00:45):
eight eight nine two nine ten thirty.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yes, how about if we just spend another few moments
on neuroli and I can give out the address and
the phone numbers, so please do so. We perform once
a month, as you know in Our next performance is
on the fifth of December from six to eight pm
(01:13):
at the Nioli Restaurant to eighty two Washington Street in Westwood, Massachusetts.
And if you have your pens and paper ready, the
phone number there is seven eight one three seven, five
two five nine four. Now, the best way that I
can describe our performance there the two hour performance. To me,
(01:37):
it seems like a wedding without a bride and groom.
People get up and they dance. People who don't know
people end up meeting them and becoming great friends. And
it's just such a happy place. So those of you
that are listening that have never been to Niroli before,
give it a chance. And when you make your reservation,
(02:01):
make it for the supper club. It's part of the restaurant,
but it's in the back of the restaurant and it
holds about seventy guests. It's very comfortable back there. The
staff is lovely and the food is marvelous. So please
give it a try, and come up and say lo
to us when you come.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
All right, And two quick things. The caller just before
we took a news break asked the question where did
Channel two get those call letters g b H. Anytime
you've looked at the Blue Hills of Milton, you look
up there and you see towering antennas there there's an
(02:42):
array of them, two, three, four, whatever, and one of
those is the antenna for Channel two. Therefore they use
that for their name. G b H WGBH. They're kind
of forced to begin with a W. One all east
(03:02):
of the Mississippi radio and TV stations begin with W
except KDKA and Pittsburgh. And I'm not going to go
into why that's an isolated difference, but Great Blue Hills
that's where those call letters came from. And Boston has
done that with a number of their calls. For an example,
(03:28):
channel five WCVB stands for channel five. The Roman numeral
for five is v CVB, Channel five Boston. The old
fifty six used to be WKBG and they were owned
(03:50):
partially by the Globe Kaiser Globe Broadcasting. They changed to
L V I, going back to Roman numerals again. LVI
is the number fifty six, L for fifty, V for five,
and I V and I together is six channel fifty six.
(04:13):
I think I've covered all of them. Now I'm tired.
I will go. Oh. Before I meant to ask, Chris,
Gene you an ex give me literally thirty seconds. Guys,
when I came to see you in Brookline, there was
a female performer with you, and I thought she was
(04:34):
very good. I cannot remember her name is.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Her name was wait. Her name was Zoe, and she
moved to Las Vegas and she got married about a
month ago to a bartender out there in Las Vegas,
and she's gonna they bought a home and she's gonna
make her career in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Will good do me a favor next time you speak
to her, tell her I'll be coming out there in April,
and I don't know the date yet, but I'll be
doing one of my quick shows with Big Elvis at Harris,
which is in between the Flamingo and the Venetian.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And y Well, we'll tell her in the If you
win the lottery, we'll cover with you fair enough.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
If I win the lottery, I'll put you in the
first class seat. It's no problem. Let me take Gene
from me. Gene, thank you for calling. Sorry had to
hold so long.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Hello, Did I lose you there?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
It sounded like I had Billy bow. It's been too
long since we've been together, my friends.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
For sure. It's so great to hear your voice.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
It's always great to hear your voice, Bobo. It's even
better to hear your horn.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh yours too, Oh.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Thank you? It's uh you know more. And one of
the things that nobody's touched on tonight is that nobody
makes the party happen like the winter curse you can get.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It's been mentioned.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
It can't be mentioned enough because what happens when Bo
and Billy and the band take the stage. The crowd
is guaranteed a great time, and they'll keep them going
and keep them going and keep them going, and you'll
get to the end of the night and people often
will want want another hour or two hours, or however
(06:33):
long they can get because they're just having such a
great time, you know. And I can remember back with Eddie,
their dad, the father and founder of the Winter Family Orchestra,
and Eddie used to say, you know, no matter how
I'm feeling during the course of the day, or how
tired I am, or you know how much it's been
(06:55):
a tough day, when I sit down and I start
to play, it's a great day because I'm playing music.
And they Bill and Bow have kept that going and
it's just it's the best way to celebrate. You can't
possibly find another band anywhere in the New England region
that performs like the Winnakers do, and they do it
(07:17):
all I mean jazz, from classic jazz to swing era
to you know, oldies but goodies right up into top
top charts that are current today and they do it all,
and they've done it continually for a long long time,
starting from when it was just a family group with
(07:41):
Eddie and Annette and Billy and Bow, and then through
the years adding on and adding on. I think you
know when I first started playing with the organization, which
is like thirty six, thirty seven years back, maybe on
time back, I'm dating myself, but I can remember one
(08:02):
New Year's Eve. I think there were three big bands
out and probably eight or ten.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Combo bands out.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
You know, all in the same night on New Year's Eve.
You know, it was an amazing time to be a
part of the organization. And you know, Eddie had his
his band, Bo had his band, Billy had his band,
and then uh some of the premium players from their
bands went out and led other bands at night and
(08:31):
that night, and it was just an amazing time, amazing
times of you making music.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And I know that you are closer to the group
because you said Bobo as a nickname, Billy as Bill.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Genie is the family. And I should tell you that
Genie played trumpet in my father's band, and you know
she is one of the greatest trumpet players, honest and
goodness that I have ever known. She's brilliant. She's a
great teacher. Uh and she's just a great musician, and
she's just a natural and uh boy, you know we
we've had a love affair with Jeanie for for years
(09:16):
and years. And it's just so great of you to
reconnect tonight because you know you're up in Maine now
and and uh, you know we don't see each other
or spend enough time together like we used to. But
you're so wonderful, wonderful to reach out to us.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Tonight, Jeanne, thank you for taking the time to call.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
I love you guys, madly. We love you more, big hug, Diet.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah that's a musician that Yes, there you go. See
what I mean. You guys are good at trivia as well.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Music trivia, but not like you. You you can do
any any subject. We're great on music.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You can do magic, well I could.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I used to dabble in magic. But that aside. There's
a caller who's been calling on the contest line every
five minutes since you guys have been on There is
an open line to that call dial dial either six five,
four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to nine
(10:33):
ten thirty damn will answer the call, put you on hold,
and you'll get to speak with the Winnickers or anybody
else who wants to call in to do that.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Morgan, Morgan, I'm sorry, but last time we were on
the show, I asked you for permission for a couple
of special people to be able to use that line.
So they don't even know the other numbers, so I
wish we could take those that. There are a couple
of special calls.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So someone's calling on it right now and there's an
open line on the regular number.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I not even know though, but they don't even know
the regular number.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And then I'll say the regular number again because I've
been repeating it all night long. Six one, seven, two,
five four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine to
nine ten thirty.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
The problem is, the problem is, Morgan, they don't have
a radio, so they're far away so they're not hearing it.
They never hear that, so they just think they can't
get on, and.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Then how do they know the contest number.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I gave it to them because I asked you the
last time we were on if I could give it
to a couple of people, and you said, okay, yes
I did. So if you could have Dan, please take
the call. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
All right, I will and we won't do that again.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Sorry, okay, and next time the contest line rings, take
the call and put them in que. I am late
for my break, good grief. Time at temperature here on
nights side ten, eighteen thirty nine degrees.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Nightside Studios.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I' WBZ News Radio. I do think we have worked
through the phone issues. We have full lines. I'm about
to go to work in Chestnut Hill. We also have
Gene and Brookline and Steve and Sudbury Ruth. It's your
turn to speak with Bill and Bo Winnicer Ruth.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Thank you, Morgan, thank you for taking my call. Hey,
Dylan Bow, I'm actually calling you from Brooklyn, New York,
where I'm spending Thanksgiving with my cousins. We're having a
wonderful time. And I was really happy to hear Tom Aaron.
Tom and I know each other well through our love
(13:00):
for the Winnakers, and I wanted to embellish a little
bit on what he said, because the Winnakers have a
secret sauce. They're fantastic musicians and.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Their music is great, but.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
I shouldn't say, but I should say, and they really
connect to the audience and that's what or the guests
or whoever they're playing for, and that's what really makes
them so special. And they've played hundreds and hundreds of
weddings and corporate events and gallas and bar misos and
(13:49):
all kinds of really special events. But what's really even
more special about them is that they really have heart.
And they play for many many senior living facilities all
around the Boston area, independent living, assisted living, nursing homes,
(14:15):
and they do such a wonderful job and they really
connect with the people and they bring them so much
joy that it's just so so special.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And you know what it's like floating on a memory
cloud at least the last three things you mentioned, assistant living, uh,
nursing home, nursing homes. Thank you for helping me get
to those words. And that's the key. You've got an
(14:54):
audience specifically that's mine locked in on big band, on swing,
on light jazz, and they could tell you almost the
entire litany of songs by Duke Ellington or the Thundering Herd,
(15:22):
and down the line they find Frank and Sammy and Dean.
They necessarily stop their memory at the gate of nineteen
fifty nine or nineteen sixty, so they couldn't tell you
anything about the Beatles. And if somebody wanted Beatles, of
(15:45):
course Bill and Beau could do a whole thing on
the Beatles. But they know the music that their audience
wants to hear, and that's very difficult to do, to
play for an audience, knowing what they want, giving the
audience what they want, and sticking to it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But you know, Morgan, we got that training in the
early years where our dad prepared us for a life
in music of being available to play any style of
music that anybody wanted to hear. And that's why we
can go from one genre to another quite nicely.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And that's an important thing to be able to do.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
It's just so special at these senior residences. I've been
to many of them where they played, and I tell
them that they have the best job in the world
because every day they have the opportunity to make people happy.
So that's what I wanted to say, and they know
(16:53):
I love them. I'm their sister from another mother, so.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Well, I'm supposed to say that I'm the sister from
another mister, Ruth. Thank you for your call.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
You know, let me just say one more thing. Ruth
lights up the world wherever she goes. She's so kind,
she has a heart of gold, and she does good
things for people all the time. So thank you very much.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
Okay, thanks a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Good night, Ruth, good night, Thank you all right again.
A line is now available six seven, five, four ten
thirty or eight eight, eight nine nine ten thirty. And
I'm so close to time to take a break, but
I'm going to go to Jean and Brookline so she
(17:44):
won't have to hold through a news hit.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Hello Jean, say il aiyah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I you have called before because I remembered your name.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Oh yeah, I called numerous times. I realize I was
reading going oh ooh. I dropped the airphone and said,

Speaker 9 (20:32):
I had a very low nice Thanksgiving. I went to
one of my friend's house and there was like six
kids on the age of ten and a bunch of
adults and it was just kind of wild. We wasn't quiet,
not with the little ones running around.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That was pure.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
Yeah, they're in the corner by themselves. They weren't even
near us. They were on the other side of the room. Yeah.
But yeah, I'm glad I found bone Bill because it
was long. It was a long dry season, not knowing
where they were or where they were playing until I
heard them once again on listening to you, Morgan, and
(21:15):

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Feel and I.

I will definitely see the will before Christmas, but I

(21:49):
but lots of times the trees such way and truly
open my head. I love listening to it, going huh yeah, no,
it's yeah, it just doesn't work at all in my brain.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
All right, well, all right, you take care.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
You too, all right for your call, keep calling, Bye
bel bye bye.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm going to get in trouble again being late for
my news hit time and temperature on night Side ten
thirty two thirty nine degrees.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
It's night Side with Dan Ray, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I am now going to go to Sudbury and speak
to Steve so Steve can speak to Bill and Bo Winneker.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Hello Steve, Good, good evening, gentlemen. How you doing all right?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Very well?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Thank you Bill.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
I enjoyed listening. I've tried before to get in but
I hadn't been successful, so tonight I struck gold Well
you're here now I'm here. You know, I know the
spirit of the show is all about the winnakers and
the music. And I've been to several of their performances.
As I'll say, they don't just play, they short give
(23:05):
him a show. But tonight I want to bring a
little different flavor to the night. My relationship is really
with bo Morgan. It goes back, and there's a generational
piece to this. Our parents, my mother and his dad
grew up together at Miller's mass and what you can
(23:26):
understand was a very musical talent back then. They'll probably
shed some tone on that. But over the last thirty years,
Bow and I have found ourselves as members of the
same golf club. I established a very very tight relationship
and albeit very competitive relationship on the golf course. I'm
not so sure any of his fans, no, but his
(23:49):
talent with his horn is almost matched by his talent
with his golf club. He's a fierce competitor and he
doesn't like to lose.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What's your hand cap?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Bo?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Oh? Well, handicaps at back and anyway, Uh, it's a
lot higher than I wish it was, but it's going
to be better next year.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
All right. Now, we'll leave that open to answer it
later on. But Steve, what's your handicap?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I play?
Speaker 10 (24:20):
I don't know, somewhere around nine or ten. And Bow's
right there with me. Don't let him, did you? You
can ask him, you can ask him what side of
the bank account gets more him on me and I
will it's his.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Well, let me ask this question in your life and
both be prepared. You're going to answer it too.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Steve.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
First, how many hole in ones have you had? That?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Two?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Okay, I've had one.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
One for me birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, I had one on my birthday a number of
years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Oh, happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
What are your trumpet on that?
Speaker 10 (25:04):
I'll share a story about last year. We play in
these inter club matches and Bow and I team up
pretty nicely together and we're going down the next to
the last fairway and we're talking to the competitor, a
big tall man. I think you remember him, Bow, don't you.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
I believe I do. I don't remember his name.
Speaker 10 (25:25):
Yeah, And we're walking down the fairway and I said,
you know this guy that we're playing golf with, because
in my eyes, Bow will always be a celebrity and
he won't talk about himself, but I'll give a little
hint as to who he is. And I mentioned his
name and he lit up. And we're walking down the
fairway a little bit further and Bow and I talk
and we decide in the surprising there's a dinner after
(25:47):
this event, as there always is, and we decide that
Bo is going to be solicited to do a little
number for us. And so this gentleman gets up put
Bo in. This bought total surprise.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Weren't you both, You're very very surprised, no idea.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
And he lit up, He lit up the room, and
at the end of his little performance, everybody we started
seeing hands raised all over the room. And this was
one club versus another club. There were twenty guys in
the room, and one by one they started talking about
the fact that Bow played at their wedding, or played
(26:25):
at their parents parents wedding, Bow played at my son's
Bob mitzvah. There were twenty people in the room and
at least thirteen people had a direct performance from Joe
Bill and Bow.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
How about that?
Speaker 10 (26:40):
It was a great, great performance.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, Steve, excellent story. Thank you for calling into Yes.
