Bristol oldies guru Jim Kane reports...

The powers that be at Rusty Records are keeping mum about their newest project. Just bits and pieces floating in. We do know that Dee Valerio, Linda D'Aprile & Lesley Montella have been in the recording studio.

We know that Johnny Kennedy has reformed his old group - The Heartbreakers. Out on the West Coast rumors have been flying about concerning Steve Petroff coming east to record some new material. Even more interesting is that Woody "The Legend" Crosby has not been heard from for a month. The word is that he has gone into seclusion to work on a project. Another strange happening - recently transplanted to Florida, Bob Beliveau has booked a flight back to Connecticut to join with some old buddies to rehearse some songs. Eileen Chase, Joan Delisle, and Liz Malley have been seen in Plainville coming out of Rusty Camp's dentist office, which we know is just a front for "Rusty Records". And here is the kicker - Bob Lindsay has been in touch with Fred Paris of the Five Satins, and it has reached us that they may collaborate on a couple of numbers. It is all adding up to a new CD! We will continue to dig deeper, and keep you informed.

Previously:
Southington based Blues Man - Johnny Kennedy has some info on the next CD from Rusty Records. It seems that Rusty Recorrds president - Dr. Rusty Camp will be stirring the rumor pot with a challenge to some very famous Bristol groups. Rusty has been in touch with Johnny Kennedy about Johnny putting his old group back together, for one last recording session. Not only that, but Rusty is also in heavy negotiations with Bristol vocal group - The DEE LITES. Dee Valerio spilled the beans the other day during a coffee break at Forestville Machine Co. Yep, We have our spies everywhere. Not only that but world famous rocker, Steve Petroff, has been in communication with some former Bristol friends. It seems that Steve is going to enter the fray. I'm going to contact Flash Carlson tonight to see if he has heard anything.. Whitey Dudzinski , from Bristol's Six Olde Fartz, has been contacted, but he has already forgotton why. What can be in the mind of Rusty Records - only time and the Shadow knows !
