It took only one day for Dan Heffernan to sign a couple of Bristol guys to a recording contract. Ever the innovator, Dapper Dan has signed Bristol's Whitey Dudzinski and Bobby Watson to a long term contract. "I recognized their talent when they recorded with their group (Bristol's Six Olde Fartz), and then I found a project worthy of their talents." Dan was quoted as saying. Dan came up with the idea a few months ago, and the search was on. A mix of cultures and music was the key. After seeing the success of Bobby Vinton, Dan decided to add his own twist to the mix. Hence - Polish Soul Music ! You heard it here first, Bobby and Whitey singing Polish Soul music. Not only is this a new and refreshing approach, but Dan believes it is a long time coming to the industry. Dan did tell us the titles to two of the songs being recorded on his DDH label. They are "Who Took The Garage Key" and "Searching, Searching For My Chitlins". To add a little more Bristol flavor to the mix, Dan has added two other Bristol guys to produce this ground breaking CD. After thinking it over - Bristol record producer - Dick Carlson (Flash Carlson & The Cadillacs) passed on this project. But Dick did recommend Bristol's Father Tom Ptasynski and Eddie Whitehead, citing great knowledge of the subject. Father Tom, long time according player, along with long time soul vocalist - Eddie Whiethead were signed on for this upcoming challenge. Former Bristol St. Anthony High vocal standout - Johnny Kennedy has been hired to promote this endeavor. "Johnny, known for his worldwide blogging ability, will set in motion a marketing campaign never seen before on this planet," said Dan Heffernan.
So all I can say is good luck with this project. But once again, the great city of Bristol will remain in the forefront of musical genius. This should be one for the ages! Jim Kane
