JSngry Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 We launched CGP Records (Charles, Gary, Paul) to record old traditional gospel tunes (organ only) for direct sale to the many churches across the nation that requested his performance. I've been looking for solo organ Gospel records for YEARS, but with very little luck. More information, please, including how to order this material! I will have to make an appointment with my storage unit to search for a remaining LP from the CGP records days. The name of the albums: Nostalgic Trip Vol I and II. I'll let you know what I find, although it will take a little while to move the mountain of belongings. At your leisure, sir, but know that you have a buyer (or possibly buyers!) any time you wish!

Dan Gould Posted May 23, 2004 Report Posted May 23, 2004 I told Gary that the picture of his brother on Where it's At made him look like an axe-murderer or something. So, since I made color copies of the cover over the weekend, I figured I would share the pic here. Now I ask you, does this man look 100% harmless to you? Quote
gkynard Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Posted May 24, 2004 Now I ask you, does this man look 100% harmless to you? Thanks for the photo! If this one scares you, you should see the ones that scared me, and his family! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 I think what he's saying in that photo is, "See, Jimmy Smith! I ain't afraid to let cats see my drawbar settings!! I'll even pose for a picture with them!!" Quote
gkynard Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Posted May 24, 2004 Do you recall how your brother selected the organ as his instrument of choice? Did he also play piano? Our dad, B.C. Kynard, played the alto and tenor sax. Our uncle Ben Kynard plays alto, tenor and baritone sax. I guess it was normal for Charles to play piano and organ! Someone had to accompany! Charles later mentioned that while in the Army band, he never had to carry anything when they marched and played. Also influencing Charles toward piano and organ was his mom, Fannie, who played piano rather well. Growing up in the church further underscored his piano and organ direction. Quote
Dan Gould Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Gary, Your hotmail account is over its limit, so I'll just post the message here: I shipped the package, Priority Mail, today. I finally remembered another LP I have that you may need, so I threw it in with the rest. It's My Mother's Eyes by Sonny Stitt, also on Pacific Jazz. As you may know, it was Charles debut recording, at least that's what the liners say. Glad I remembered that I have it! Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) whatever happened to gary? ← Well, I can tell you that I was able to hit Gary with another, highly obscure item in his brother's discography http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...1&st=&p=entry and when I found out that he was also lacking all of Charles' Mainstream Records appearances, I hooked him up with our own Bill Fenohr and got him covered in that regard, too.

There have been a number of family gatherings during which the newly acquired music made its debut to everyone's delight. Dan, some material is scheduled to be moved out of our storage unit over the upcoming July 4th holiday. That will make a way for me to get at the 2 or 3 gospel albums we did of Charles. Since I don't have the equipment to transfer from vinyl to electronic media, I will ship it to you in hopes that you can perform the magic. Has your address changed? gary@kynard.com Quote

They have emerged without any evidence of their long stay in darkness. I will prepare them for shipment via DHL overnight. Quote
