An enjoyable evening was had by all Friday, July 24, during the annual big band concert at Lakeside Beikirch Care Center (LBCC) in Brockport. Music was provided by the Gateswingers, a local 15-piece band which features swing band sounds of the 40s, 50s, 60s and today. The band specializes in playing Big Band standards in the tradition of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Harry James, Glenn Miller and others and has been a favorite of local audiences for more than ten years.
Lakeside Beikirch Care Center Recreation Director Nancy Duff says the annual event is sponsored by LBCC, “Mainly for the residents and families, but is always open and free to the public.”
Duff has a special connection to the Gateswingers, her dad, Buddy Colaneri, plays lead trumpet for the group.
