LOOK FOR A NEW BOOK NOW BEING WRITTEN
by: Phil Cay and Jim Trucks,
That will have all the information you ever wanted to know
about local and national entertainers that we have personally know over the years (since 1958)
As Psalms 9:10 creeps closer to fruition in my life, I find my
thoughts rapidly, drifting back. Hoping to recapture the feelings of that part of my life that is only ordinary if you are
a “musician/entertainer.” Good memories of people places and things: some fleeting and some vivid, have been relegated
to the area in my being that preserves such things. Their recall is as refreshing as the water that quenches my thirst.
The hunger to revitalize present moments with surreal thoughts
from a bygone era, can only be fed with words while we wait for that big reunion above the clouds.
While my hand is steady and my mind is cognizant, I intend to fill
this book with as many of those nouns as time will permit.
Live with me as I travel back to Enlisted Men's, Cccil Field, Private Clubs
on the navy bases here in Jacksonville, and the elegant homes and clubs of the elite along the river and ocean shores.
Envy me as I travel to Memphis and eat a peanut butter and banana
sandwich with the king.
If we have crossed paths during my musical sewing oats years, you
are an intrical part of this book. Maybe we played a song you liked, or maybe you married the bass player. Maybe you served
food or drinks. Perhaps you were the bartender in one of the spots we frequented. Whatever the circumstance, you are part
of this revival. So read on and remember. Perhaps it will awaken some memories of your own that have been slumbering long
enough.
Jim (Jimbo) Trucks
After Phil Cay and the Blue Notes Came, Phil Cay and the Chantels, afetr retiring from the band, then a duo was formed
with Phil and his wife Charlotte Cay.
Phil began alone playing his piano, keyboard and organ in piano bars at first, until Charlotte, his wife joined him as
a singer.

Jackie Black was a member of the band for many years, he played the smoothest sax I've ever heard. Jackie is still playing
in his home town in North Carolina. Jackie worked for the Atlantic Coastline railroad in the photo reproduction until the
company moved to North Carolina,

On occassion Steve will do a double show with Charlotte and Phil at private parties.

The photo below is of Phil Cay and Dick Broyles.
Dick Broyles was more instrumental in helping me learn more about music than anyone I have ever known.
Dick played music for many year around Jacksonville, and was my favorite musician. He could sing and play just about
any type music.
Being a keyboard player and singer I admired his style and presentation of songs that after awhile I finally learned
a lot of the music he played as a solo artist,
Thanks Dick
For your friendship and all your help.

Pictured above is my good friend, musician, recording artist, song writer, and singer Glenn Snow. You can purchase some

In 1958 the "Beach Bop" that's what they all called it here in Jacksonville. It all started at Jax Beach when all
the kids would park thier cars along the beach, turn on their radios and dance in the sand to early Rock N' Roll.
Those were the best years of many lives.
At that time Phil Cay and the Blue Notes were performinhg at the American Legion on Lakeshore Boulavard, on the Westside
of Jacksonville.
From there we went to Atlanta, Georgia, and Miami, Florida where we recorded our first records.
Our background singers were the "King Crooners"
When we recorded the T Bird, and in the same session John Stanberry and his "King Crooners" with the Blue Notes playing
the music for them they made their first recording, "Messin' With My Girl"
They went on to make many other records on the Exello Label!
If you have danced to our music we would love to hear from you. Just give me a call or email me.
