REVIEWS:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/b> <\/b>*****\nCBC Sound Advice *****\nFIVE (5) STARS!!!\n<\/font><\/span>\n<\/b><\/a>\n<\/b><\/span>\"I enjoyed everything about this new\nCD. It's a great tribute to a previous<\/font> age, and\na talented Canadian group of musicians and entertainers. The music<\/font>\nre-creates a thick slice of the vaudeville days, with\nmany of the original<\/font> arrangements used, lovingly\nperformed with the utmost respect and admiration<\/font> by\nthe Royal City Saxophone Quartet. Five stars.\"\n-- Rick Phillips, Host\/Producer of Sound Advice<\/b><\/i>\non CBC Radio One and CBC Radio Two.<\/font>\n

This is the type of album I never get tired\nof hearing. It is happy, upbeat and great fun. It is also true to the\nmusic of the time. I would call it a musical history lesson. The\nmusicians apparently love what they do because it shows in every song.\nHats off and thanks to the R.C.S.Q. for this first class job in\npreserving a musical heritage.\" \n<\/o:p><\/span>\n\n\n--\nJim Diffey, KVMR<\/a>\n89.5 FM, \n\nNevada City<\/st1:city>\n, \nCalifornia<\/st1:state>\n, \nUSA<\/st1:country-region>\n<\/st1:place><\/span>\n\n\n<\/b><\/span>\"<\/span><\/a><\/b>A\nwonderful tribute to the Six Brown\nBrothers!\"<\/a>\n<\/font>\n-- Paul Coats, Columnist, Sax On The Web: www.saxontheweb.net\n<\/a><\/font>\n
