Ronnie was a fixture in the Twin Cities for years and was the longtime
stadium organist of the Minnesota Twins.

Ronnie was total music. He wrote, arranged, orchestrated, and performed for over 50 years in the Twin Cities. He played with the “greats” who came to perform at “Freddies” (the top-name club) as the house band. Some of those artists were: Lenny Bruce, Ella Fitz, Hazel Scott, Mel Torme, George Scherring, Bob Newhart, and Don Adams to name a few. He also worked in Las Vegas, and Lake Tahoe. He also was the Twins organist for 21 years.
He hardly ever was stumped when asked to play a tune as he had over 2000 tunes in his head. He was a truly gifted musician.

What makes this a “cops and convicts” LP? Oh I see, it’s Latin.

PuupSuup? What makes you comment? Are you a Cop or Convict? And what does the latin comment mean?

If this were a real world picture… Sadly, according to U.S. statistics, it is likely that these south of the border, law breaking, “Jail House Rockers” are illegal aliens too! Put THAT in your P.C. pipe and smoke it! …Legal smoke that is.

The Latin comments are bad taste. The bass player is Roman Gomez, and Ronnie’s favorite type of music is Latin. Enough said!
