DELTA QUEEN crew 1977, 78
OK Fred Carmichael, to quote TV show host Art Baker:
You Asked For It
so here are more pix of the DQ crew in 1977 and 1978
We start with calliope players, and we had many multitalented crew members
1) Dan Forman Dan was the main calliope perfessor, and played piano for dinner and in the band. He lives in Cincinnati and has become quite a homemade pasta expert.
2) Fred Dodd Fred was the banjo player and was the calliope player for the Carter trip until Vic Tooker saw the TV coverage he was getting and Vic then took over for the rest of the trip. Fred and wife Debbie live in Wisconsin, in the Steinikes' neighborhood.
3) Calliope Keith - he was watchman for the 1978 season but made frequent appearances at the keyboard.
You'll note the second keyboard and masked cases next to the console. These were the unifone, uniphon, however its spelled.
