Remember the days when you and your friends could go into a record store, take some platters into a little glassed-in booth and try the music, talk about it for a while, and then once you’d decided what you liked, take it to the counter and buy it?
This site is sort of like that…but I don’t sell anything. My aim instead is to offer samples and discussion about OUR kind of music, and encourage you to then go out and buy it at your favorite retailer. (I’ll never post more than 1 or 2 full-length tunes from any one album, and they’ll be medium quality files and for a limited time only.)
The Geezer Music Club was started as a branch of the GEEZERWEB website, but once I saw what a wonderful job WordPress does with blogging I migrated everything over here! (The GEEZERWEB site has been discontinued.)

hello biggeez, I am so glad to have found your site – Peter from holtieshouse sent me the link. Your blog is great, haven’t had a chance to have a look at the website yet. I have a website too, as well as my blog, started earlier this year. I can see why Peter sent me your link.
I hope you don’t mind, but I have done a little post and link to you on my blog…

I not only don’t mind, but I’m happy about it! Thanks, Della – I like your blog too, and have added a link in my “blogroll”.

Hi Everyone,
If you are a fan of Andy Williams, you might want to check out my web site. Joanne Grauer, Andy’s pianist for many years, insisted on recorded a CD with me two years ago in Reno after hearing me sing. I’m not here to sell my CD “The Shadow of Your Smile”. I’m just here to let you know that there are still crooners around and some of us are considered “world class” (Joanne’s comment about my singing). I’ve got samples of my singing on my web site. They are all cover songs from Sinatra to Bennett and many others. Enjoy! Tim

Hey Geez! I like your blog. We are of pretty much the same era, and I am a fan of Jazz, Big Band & Oldies from trhe 40’s, 50’s & 60’s (pre-Beatles). Good crowd here and well-done.

Thanks! Looks like you’re off to a good start with yours too — I’ve added it to my blogroll.

Hello! Just wanted to say you are providing a great service with a variety of topics. Just stumbled across your site while doing research on Leon Payne, Johnny Rodriguez, and Jim Reeves since it helps me to include history/anecdotes while introducing songs that I perform while hosting karaoke and other events (one tmw nite here in the Texas “badlands” – laughing! Nice article on Tex Ritter btw who never had a problem with Jim Reeves “he’s the best thing to come outta Panola County!” Unfortunately, Jim (the hands-down Rodney Daingerfield of country music) remains a second distant favorite son 45 yrs after his death ( in Carthage). But we all have to move on. Thanks for creating this site again. Sincerely, Jim
