twitterJoe Delaney remembers 1951: Recalling Ray Anthony at the Thunderbird
Friday, July 14, 2000 | 8:43 a.m.
Trumpeter Ray Anthony and his Capitol Records orchestra, playing the music of the late Glenn Miller, headlined at the Thunderbird -- later the Silverbird, now closed as the El Rancho. Anthony, born in Bentleysville, Pa. and raised in Cleveland, was a member of the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1940-1941. During the 1960s and 1970s Anthony and his group, the Book Ends, were a hot lounge act. Larry Storch's brother, comedian Jay Lawrence, was on the Thunderbird bill along with the Kathryn Duffy Dancers. At age 78 Anthony still plays trumpet and -- nearly 49 years later -- will lead his Ray Anthony Orchestra into the Stardust Hotel ballroom on Saturday.
