Women of the Year: Cindy Dalecki And Rebecca DeLorenzo Take Flagler
FlaglerLive | September 3, 2012
They're among Flagler County's more recognizable and influential women: Rebecca DeLorenzo, left, and Cindy Dalecki. (© FlaglerLive)
As strong women go, Cindy Dalecki and Rebecca DeLorenzo could bench press Flagler County.
In their own way they do so every day—Dalecki as the owner of Marketing 2 Go, a nimble company that helps organizations brand their way through the ever-mutating world of social media, DeLorenzo as the executive vice president of the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce and Affiliates, where men like to think they still run the show.
Dalecki and DeLorenzo have just been named women of the year: Dalecki got the United Way's Women's Initiative of Flagler County's Outstanding Woman of the Year Award ("honoring one who truly does live united"), and did so on the heels of the president's Volunteer Service Award (with a letter from Barack Obama.) The Flagler Business Women named DeLorenzo the organization's 2012 Woman of the Year, capping a rather successful year for the DeLorenzos: 10 months ago, her husband Jason was elected to the Palm Coast City Council.

"We're both smart business women, and we want to provide a better place for our children to grow up in, and see the community and the economy grow and stay healthy," Dalecki says. The two women's paths naturally cross frequently, as do a surprising number of themes in their mutual lives—family, volunteering, projecting a strong image for other women.
"Out of all the other nominees I was humbled that I was selected," DeLorenzo says. "It's an honor and a responsibility. As a working woman you always have to balance being a wife, being a mother and being a professional. The responsibility part is making sure that I teach Lorelei to be a strong and independent woman who can live up to her potential. And other women, empowering those who can't help themselves or learning from the ones that can." Lorelei is her nearly-4-year-old daughter.
DeLorenzo, 35, was born in DeLand, grew up in Ormond Beach, and moved to Port Orange for high school. She graduated from Spruce Creek High in 1995. At the end of 1997 she went to a vocational school for travel and tourism in Kissimmee and began working at Grenada Travel in Ormond at the end of 1998. The company helped her attend what was then Daytona Beach Community College, where she got a two-year degree before taking a partial scholarship and completing a BA in communications at Embry Riddle Aeronautic University in 2003. She graduated one month after she got married to Jason.
She briefly worked in catering sales for a hotel, then a title company, and in 2007, while she was going through the chamber's Leadership Flagler, she learned of an opening for the position of vice president for special events there. Donald O'Brien was the interim president of the chamber at the time. He hired her.
The next day, Doug Baxter, the current president, was hired. "So I'm his senior by one day," DeLorenzo says. The following year he promoted her to executive vice president. She supervises a staff of 10 and runs the day-to-day operations of the chamber, letting Baxter, who loves the limelight far more than she does, be its more public face. Her affinity for background is also why she said, while her husband was winning his first race for public office, that she'd never follow in his political steps. But she has goals. One of them was stacked a foot high next to her at her desk—a dozen books and reams of flash cards she was using in a 15-week course to earn the Certified Association Executive designation through the American Society of Association Executives. The exam is on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor day.
Sure there's a good old boys' network in Flagler County, but, she says, "I think you're going to have that regardless of whether we're in New Jersey or Seattle or anywhere. Women have come a long way but we still have a long way to go, and men, you know, we've got to teach them." That good old boys' network in Flagler, she says, "is more of a perception thing that anything else." Some people have been around for a very long time, they've done a lot for the community, "and we still need to look to them, gain their insights so that we can learn from their history so that we can learn to not repeat it," DeLorenzo says. Her sense of irony is among her understated gifts.

Naturally, she's had experiences dealing with men that evoke mentalities from distant centuries. "Some people still view men and women to have different roles in different jobs, you know—in all industries," she says. "Everybody is going to struggle with that. We're still dealing with the glass ceiling, we're still dealing with the fact that women get paid 76 cents to the dollar that men get paid. I think that we'll get past that, but it's probably going to take a little bit of time."
Aside from being the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce and Affiliates' second-in-command, a mother and a particular sort of wife (marriage to a politician being the salt mine that it is), DeLorenzo is an executive board member of the Flagler County Education Foundation and chairs its Dell Trayer Teacher Grant committee. She's also a board member of the Florida Association of Chamber Professionals and the Family Life Center.
Which begs the question: When will she be president of the chamber? "I would strive to that one day, when the time is right," she says, quite candidly, though she wouldn't be the first woman president: Linda Jarosz and Paty Wright preceded her in that role (the latter only briefly). Somewhere along the way there might be a book in DeLorenzo, who likes to write. It would probably be about her life and her mother, who had her at a very young age. "My mom fought very hard to make sure I grew up in a well-rounded home with loving parents. She inspires me to tell her story about what she had to go through and what she did so that I could have a normal, stable life," DeLoreno says.
Dalecki might have said the same thing. And did (they were interviewed separately, unaware of the other's reflections).
"I didn't really know what I wanted to do in college, and my mom actually suggested it. And you know, moms are right about 100 percent of the time no matter how old you are," Dalecki says. She was with her mother and with Kelli O'Reilly, co-owner of Blue at the Topaz, the Flagler Beach restaurant, at her award ceremony. She was taking pictures, unaware that she was the one, when she heard her name.
"It almost feels when I volunteer that it's really not giving. I almost feel like it's taking, because it feels so good to give," Dalecki says, recalling some of the words she said that evening. "Not only do you feel good about yourself, you feel good that you're doing it for your community and families in your community. I really believe that we're put on this earth to help as many people as we can while we're here."
Now 42, Dalecki was born in Wichita, Kansas, an Air Force brat, moving every three years—Germany, Illinois, Kansas, and finally Florida in 9th grade, landing at DeLand High School and the University of Central Florida, where she got a degree in journalism with advertising and PR specialties.
Dalecki's first job was with a computer company, then a travel agency specializing in cruises, and briefly for a Bell South subcontractor before ending up at the News-Journal, where she worked for eight years, most of them as an outside sales representative in Flagler County. That's where she laid the foundations for Marketing 2 Go, the 3-year-old company she owns. She was among the nearly 400 News-Journal employees fired from 2007 to 2010 as the paper was changing ownership and downsizing, "which was the best thing that ever happened to me," she says. It helped her reinvent herself while inventing a new kind of company for Flagler County. Artie Gardella of One on One Fitness was her first customer who told her he liked what she was doing to help charities, but wanted her to apply the method to his business. That's how her business took off.
Dalecki and her husband David are parents of two boys—13-year-old Dalton and 10-year-old Tyler. "Really I couldn't do all of what I do without Dave," she says, crediting his influence and presence with their boys as she tends to her innumerable duties. She serves on a list of boards: Teens-in-Flight, the United Way's Chicks with Cans (the champion charity that raises literally tons of food for the needy in the run-up to Thanksgiving every year), the Palm Coast Chamber of Commerce, the Flagler Beach Historical Museum, with close affiliations to the Young professionals Group of Flagler County and the Flagler Beach Rotary. And along with that, she says, she's "just building a little company on the side."
"But it all ties together," Dalecki says, volunteering trade secrets. "The more your name is out there, the more people you're meeting, and volunteering, the better it does for your business as well, because the more people know who you are, and when they're in the market for your service, no matter what it is you sell, you know they'll think of you. That's what I tell my customers as well. Get out there, get involved, cross-marketing. Make sure to align your business with a charity. Not only are you improving your community, and making it a better place to live, you're making other people feel good about your business as well."
Not to mention catching the attention of award engravers, and the odd president.

Congratulations Cindy!!!
Charlie Ericksen, Jr says:
Two of the best in Flagler. The competition is right behind and they all seem to be having fun doing tough jobs. Great for the County.
I was one of Rebecca's corporate clients when she worked at Granada Travel. Even back then while she was balancing that job, school, planning a wedding and building a house her professionalism and attention to detail were always at the forefront of my dealings with her.
I'm not at all surprised at the trajectory Rebecca's career has taken and look forward to hearing about her successes in the future.
Two wonderful members of the community. Congratulations!
Kelli OReilly says:
Both of these ladies deserve this recognition & more – definition of "role models."
Congratulations to two dynamic young women! I'm more optimistic about the future of Flagler County with leadership like this – guys take note!
Congrats to both these ladies! Well deserved! I have met both of them and they seem to really care about Flagler County and it's future. I wish them well in their future endeavors! I don't understand why Rebecca would want to one day take on the role of President of the Chamber if she doesn't like the limelight tho. It seems to me that being in that position you are forced to be in the limelight constantly whether you like it or not. And as far as the "good ole boys club", I just don't see it as much as I have in other communities I have lived in. Look around, so many key positions in Flagler county are filled by women, strong women. If the Chamber(s) and Flagler County Government were truly a good ole boys club then there would not be ANY women as past presidents of the Chamber and there certainly would not be as many women on the BOCC or Palm Coast, Flagler Beach and Bunnel Boards (including City Commision and Chamber). It would be so refreshing if we could focus on these amazing women and not on the negative, but as so often happens, certain people in this community choose to find something negative rather than taking pleasure in the positive..,,
There has always been a glass ceiling for women but with women in positions of authority and active in their communities, it gives hope to the young ladies that will one day take the reins in key positions, whether it be in politics or in the workforce!
Geezer says:
I don't know either of these ladies, but mast say that Cindy Dalecki would be great in a toothpaste commercial.
What a smile!

The OREC business plan can be found in the heart of the SCOR report, but we decided to share the main parts of the plan here with you.
Onawa Racing, Incorporated was just a vision some 20 years ago. The vision never faded. Like most visions, they change, evolve, grow and morph into amazing things. In the last year tlus vision has done just that. A fmancially invested Board of Directors has proven to be dedicated and driven to see a change in our community. This dream, shared by ten men, now seems within reach.
Onawa Racing, Inc. was born in September of 2015 with the mission "To bring economic growth to our community d1rough entertainment." With persistence and the cooperation of the City of Onawa, a plan was developed to turn the Onawa Municipal Airport into a drag strip.
This transformation will open many doors for the Onawa community. It will increase tourism, giving a boost to our local economy. This boost will bring opportunity for new jobs, an increase in new business growth, a return on investment to the city and an increase to our local tax funds.
Tlus track boasts an all concrete racing surface. It will offer 1,000 ft. of drag surface for botl1 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile races. Drawing a fan base from hundreds of miles around, as it is based in the heart of the NHRA's largest division. The Board of Directors hopes to become a sanctioned NHRA or IHRA track in the near future.
This facility will offer a new 9,000 square foot building that will house indoor restrooms, concession stands and a seating area. The building will also provide the community a new, larger rental space to hold a wide range of events. There will be seating for 880 spectators, a large outdoor vendor area, and playground for the kids. Future plans also include a racers' camping area and a water activity pad.
Onawa Racing, Inc. will be investing just over 1 million dollars in this project over the next 3 years. It will generate 3 new full-time employees and 15-20 part-time employees. The projected gross revenue exceeds $400,000 per season.
The Onawa Racing and Events Complex, with the only track of its kind within 300 miles, will prove to be the best around. In addition to the race track quality, overall personal experience will be incredible.
The future is getting bright in Onawa, Iowa and this is a ride you won't want to miss.

The Ground Floor
REITs and the Chinese Wall: Analysts of Property Stocks Are Especially Vulnerable to Suspicions of Conflict
Barry Vinocur
Updated Dec. 14, 1998 12:01 am ET / Original Jan. 22, 2020 9:34 pm ET
J onathan Litt, who oversees research on real-estate stocks at PaineWebber in New York, is the only major brokerage-firm analyst who has yet to reduce his rating on Patriot American Hospitality , the troubled lodging company (Barron's, October 26 ). Litt's support for Patriot's shares -- if not its management -- is notable in part because of his firm's many overlapping business relationships with the Dallas-based real-estate investment trust.
In a conference call with clients on November 30, following up a PaineWebber research note on Patriot, Litt took the hotel company's management to task for "burying," in a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, its suspension of its third-quarter dividend. He also scolded management for announcing late on the day after Thanksgiving that it would miss its third-quarter earnings estimate of 56 cents a share by a whopping 25% -- an estimate Patriot had confirmed in a conference call earlier in the month. Though Litt stressed that Patriot suffered from a credibility problem with investors and that the company should change senior management, he said that he was maintaining his "buy" rating on the stock because of its attractive valuation. He added that an announced restructuring held the potential to send Patriot's shares higher by roughly 20%.
Litt's buy rating stands alone among major sell-side analysts, though a California-based buy-side research house, Green Street Advisors, recently rated Patriot shares a buy despite what it terms were risks in the stock. Since that conference call on November 30, when the stock traded at 7 1/8, Patriot's shares have traded as high as 8 15/16. Last week Patriot closed at 7 1/4 .
It's hardly a secret that brokerage-firm analysts are loath to put out sell recommendations, in part because they can hinder analysts' access to company managements. Further, sell-side analysts can be reluctant to recommend dumping stocks because of relationships their firms have with those companies. Though brokerage houses invariably insist that their investment-banking ties have no influence on analysts' ratings, it's a fact that major firms often earn far more from underwriting stock offerings, advising companies on acquisitions and mergers, and providing short-term financing to investment-banking clients than they take in from traditional securities brokerage. And nowhere are such potential conflicts more noticeable than in real estate.
In part that's because real-estate investment trusts have huge appetites for fresh capital; to retain their favored tax status as REITs, they must pay out most of their earnings as dividends.
Further complicating matters are new roles being assumed by some Wall Street firms. Many have set up real-estate arms that act as principals -- competing with REITs and other investment-banking clients for properties.
Another area of potential conflict: Some brokerage firms tie analysts' pay directly to specific investment-banking transactions; an analyst deemed to have had an impact on placing a deal can be accorded a large slice of the resulting profits.
Not all firms follow that approach; Eric Hemel, who directs REIT research at Merrill Lynch and worked at Morgan Stanley before that firm's merger with Dean Witter, says there's no direct investment-banking link to his compensation at Merrill, nor was there one at Morgan Stanley. PaineWebber's Litt stressed in a recent interview with Barron's that when he joined PaineWebber from Salomon Brothers, he insisted there be no direct link between any deals and his compensation. "I assume that the more profitable the firm is, the more profitable the real-estate banking effort is, the better I will do," says Litt. "But there's no direct link between any specific transaction nor underwriting and what I earn."
PaineWebber's ties with Patriot are numerous, though. Not only did it bring the company public, and until recently act as its investment banker, but it also has been a lender to Patriot. And recently, Patriot said it would sell certain of its assets to a division of PaineWebber.
A spokesman for PaineWebber declined to make a company executive available for comment. But he did provide a statement: "PaineWebber has procedures to assure that our clients receive analysis that is not compromised by other business considerations. These procedures were followed in the case of Patriot American Hospitality."
Institutional investors, aware of investment-banking conflicts, commonly take a sophisticated approach to Wall Street research, often overlooking a firm's rating on a stock but making use of the analyst's data. Indeed, they may give the research added weight because of presumed inside knowledge.
Litt concedes that he gets many calls from investors who think that because of Patriot's relationship with PaineWebber, he may know more than others about what's going on at the company. But he emphasizes that he has no special knowledge. "I talk to management, I talk with other sources in the industry, but I haven't been brought over the wall," he insists -- a reference to the so-called Chinese Wall that supposedly separates a firm's brokerage research from its investment-banking activities.
Sometimes investment bankers may ask that an analyst following a company be "brought over the wall" to consult on a transaction. Once that happens, the firm's analysts must stop writing and talking about the company until the firm's compliance department, charged with enforcing securities regulations and ethical standards, says it's okay. A compliance department can restrict an analyst under other conditions, as well. If a firm is underwriting an offering for a company, for example, the firm's analysts are prohibited from issuing research reports on the company, though firms will allow analysts to downgrade a stock in an offering.
There is no uniform standard, however. For instance, industry veterans recall that analysts at Prudential Securities were restricted on Starwood Hotels & Resorts when, a couple of years back, an affiliate of its parent, Prudential Insurance, was selling a portfolio of hotels to Starwood. Merrill Lynch's Hemel confirms that he's restricted from writing or talking about Meditrust currently because early next year his firm is scheduled to underwrite a preferred-stock offering for the company, with the proceeds being used to help pay off a Merrill financing for Meditrust.
Despite his firm's many dealings, former and present, Litt says he hasn't been restricted on Patriot by PaineWebber's compliance department (though all his research reports on Patriot disclose information on the firm's ties to the company). Litt reveals that at one point he asked his compliance department to restrict him and he was told there was no reason to do so. "As long as I am not restricted by compliance, I have to write on the company," he declares -- a policy followed elsewhere on the Street.
Others in the business say they doubt PaineWebber's dealings with Patriot have influenced Litt and that he is well known for his independence. "It's no secret on the Street that Litt regularly gives his bankers fits," remarks a senior executive who heads the real-estate banking effort at a competing Wall Street firm. "No banker expects an analyst to follow his lead, but you'd at least like a little bit of cooperation."
Litt says that his sole responsibility is to individuals and institutions who use his research: "If an analyst loses his credibility he loses his value, not only to himself, but also to the firm he works for. I plan to be around this business for a long time. I am not going to do anything that jeopardizes my credibility."

How Bridgeville Police Quickly Solved Last Month's CoGo's Robbery
January 10, 2016 By Tim McNellie
When the Station Street CoGo's was robbed last month by a man wielding a large knife, the store's security cameras recorded the entire incident.
But even though the robber didn't wear a mask, his facial features weren't very discernible on the video.
For Bridgeville police, the better visual clue was the clothing that the robber wore, police chief Chad King told council last week.
"A few officers look at the video and said, 'It could be so-and-so,'" King said.
Within hours, the police had a short list of suspects that was soon narrowed down to one person. The next day, police executed a search warrant of the suspect's residence. An arrest warrant soon followed.
"It was good policework and was an example of the officers knowing the community and the individuals in this town," King said.
The suspect, Craig Dell, 41, of Bridgeville, had fled to Florida, but when he heard that his face was basically all over Bridgeville, he turned himself in to Fort Lauderdale police and offered a confession.
"I wanted to see the beach before I went to jail," he told police.
In August, the Bridgeville police department's Facebook followers helped them solve another crime allegedly involving Dell — the theft of a case of beer from a local business.
"[The CoGo's robbery] wasn't his first brush with the law," said King, "but, hopefully, maybe it will be his last."
Mayor Pasquale DeBlasio commended the department for the quick resolution of the CoGo's robbery.
"Their efforts were simply good policework," DeBlasio said, "which I've found is a lot more work than you might think."

London 'Beigel' Shop Reopens Days After Eviction Notices Appear
Published on June 13, 2014 | in News |
One of the two top "beigel" shops in London is open again after eviction notices and a brief closure frightened fans. Brick Lane's Beigel Shop did not offer any explanation for the closure.
The notices appeared on May 13th, and the famous bakery was closed for business. But the proprietors quickly tweeted that they weren't going anywhere, and was open again within two days.
According to Time Out London, the only information available from the shop was: 'We're open, alright? What do you want from us?'
Commonly known as "the Yellow Beigel Shop" (for its bright awning), the Beigel Shop is one of two London bakery's most known for their beigels, the English equivalent of the bagel. The other, on the same block, is the Beigel Bake.
Food writer and New York expat Seanan Forbes recently decried the lack of real bagels in London. Writing in the Jewish Daily Forward, Forbes called beigels "tender" and "spongy," lacking the chewiness and crustiness of real bagels. Another food blogger said beigels are "sweet and soft," comparing them to challah.
But London beigels have their fans, who say they are distinct from New York bagels, and tasty and authentic in their own way.

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) codifies the general and permanent rules of Executive departments and agencies which have been published in the Federal Register. The Federal Register consists of two publications, the annually revised Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the daily Federal Register (FR).
The CFR is divided into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. Each title is divided into chapters; each chapter is further subdivided into Subchapters; and then again into Parts covering specific regulatory areas.
The Federal Register (FR) is the daily supplement to the CFR. It serves as the mechanism to provide official notification to the public about Federal documents or proposals having general applicability. These may include Presidential proclamations and Executive Orders, and Federal agency rules, regulations, and notices. The FR also serves to notify the public and interested parties about an agency's intent to hold public meetings, request comments or propose regulation and provides the mechanism for obtaining comments from affected parties.

Im Tal der Loreley, 56154 Boppard, Germany
www.jakobsberg.de/en
Sitting on a plateau above the famous Lorelei Valley in Germany's central west, Jakobsberg is your classic high-end golf destination. As the Rhine River winds its way through vineyards and forests a short distance below, you'll be teeing off on a course that has great views down into the Rhine Valley.
The first hole looks across to Marksburg, one of the most impressive castles in the Rhine Valley, according to German golf writer Ulrich Mayring. "It is your aiming point for the second shot on the par 5 first hole."
But there is a great variety of holes on offer here – some with outstanding views, others more secluded – that will test all your shots. Dubbed 'Yellow Waterloo', the 192-meter (210-yard) hole 3 will see you hitting over a gorge for a narrow, undulating green. You'll face another gorge on hole 6, the 'Grand Canyon', where your tee shot must carry between 130 meters (142 yards) and 180 meters (196 yards) to the fairway, depending on how much of the dogleg you are trying to cut off. The 420-meter (459-yard) 'Mission Impossible' – or hole 15 – will challenge you for distance to make par 4.
"You'll have to shape the ball off some tees and bomb it off others," said Mayring. "You can score very low if your game is on. But they can make the greens very difficult, too."
The course, which opened in 1994, was based on plans by American architect Robert Trent Jones Jr, but local designer Wolfgang Jarsombek built the course.
"Even though the course doesn't have any fairway irrigation, it is very playable year-round and has a super fun factor."
The challenges: You'll have to navigate around large bunkers and five water hazards. The greens are fast and undulating, but if your game is on you can score low here.
When to play: The course is open most of the year but can be hit by snow and freezing conditions from December to February. Despite the exposed plateau location the wind is usually not too bad.
Best hole: Hole 16, View of the Rhine, may be the easiest hole on the course but it comes with the best vista of the valley. Soak it up before you hit your tee shot 196 meters (214 yards) down the hill and onto the green from the back tee.
The Jakobsberg was originally built by Emperor Frederick I in 1157 as a monastery, which is why you'll find a beautiful chapel on the estate. When Dr. Hans Riegel – a German entrepreneur who started the popular confectionery brand Haribo (think Gummy Bears) – developed the site into a modern four-star hotel, he preserved the monuments and historic buildings. You'll find examples of Riegel's passions through the hotel – whether it be mounted hunting trophies, artworks by Benetton or ballooning. A shop also sells Haribo sweets so the kids will be happy.
"I've played there on almost 30 occasions and my non-golfing wife has never once been bored," said Ulrich Mayring.
Dine and wine: Ask for a window seat at the Jakobsberg restaurant and you'll have a view of the Rhine's hairpin curve at Boppard. Or, if the weather is fine, head out to Rhine terrace and eat al fresco. It's not a bad spot to enjoy some game specialities fresh from the hunting grounds on the estate. And try a drop of the dry Dornfelder from the hotel's own vineyard, too.
You can pick between the Montgolfière and Gallery Safari bars if you just want to drink and chat, too. Flight's End, a glass pavilion at the club house, has a bistro and light snacks once you've completed your round. Sit back and enjoy the view.
The accommodation: The comfortable rooms range from small single to a more spacious suite with living room and whirlpool. You'll find them decorated with one of three themes: Benetton, African safari or Montgolfière (ballooning). Most have a terrace or balcony to enjoy the view.
The upper Middle Rhine Valley is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with historic towns, castles and vineyards to visit. History buffs will love exploring this region, which has been one of Europe's most important trade and transport routes. Try cycling down the Rhine cycle path or hiking to the nearby Ehrbach Gorge near Schöneck Castle.
A variety of hunting expeditions for roe buck and wild boar can be booked in nearby hunting ground in the Lorelei Valley. You can also test your accuracy with clay pigeons in the shooting range. Pull!

Brian Setzer Orchestra may be available for your next special event!
The Brian Setzer Orchestra is a true, 17-piece Big Band fronted by an electric guitar.
"Like pouring gasoline on a fire" is how Brian Setzer describes 1998's double-platinum, Grammy-winning, Top 10-charting "The Dirty Boogie." But while Setzer wanted to fan the flames with the follow-up, he also wanted to jack up the octane. "It would be an easy trap to fall into to do Dirty Boogie II," says Setzer. "The criticism of swing is that it's music from the past. I wanted to keep a lot of the same sound – this isn't a harpsichord record all of a sudden – but I wanted this to be music for 2000 and beyond. So we experimented, we stretched out. We said, 'Let's get crazy and go for it.'"
So on "VaVoom!," the fourth album from The Brian Setzer Orchestra, released August 1, 2000, he "scuffed it up." For most of the album's six classics, Setzer says he "had to choose ways to make them mine. It was like rebuilding a house by taking the old one down except for one wall. In the end, it's so far away from the original, you can't imagine what it looked like when you started." Not only did he pen lyrics to the traditional instrumental "In The Mood," creating "Gettin' In The Mood," but he even added a rap. On "Pennsylvania 6-5000," there are new lyrics, tape loops and even a hip-hop beat.
"It took me by surprise that the hip-hop beat and the swing beat are parallel. When I heard it, I went, 'I'll be damned, it worked, let's keep going.' I can tell if something's good if I smile. This made me smile. I wanted to make these songs so brand-new that people would go 'Wow! I never thought…'"
Along with a faithful rendition of "Mack The Knife," a psychobilly version of the instrumental "Caravan," a rockin' doo-wop take on "Gloria" and a freewheeling "Americano" (translated from the Italian original, made famous by Jude Law's and Matt Damon's performance in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"), Setzer also penned eight originals. "My influences are always with me. All I can do is sit with a guitar and write rockabilly songs and, if they're good, then write the charts for the horns and turn them into the animals that they are."
"VaVoom!," produced by Peter Collins (Jewel, Indigo Girls, Nanci Griffith), Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette, No Doubt) and David Darling, also adds female background singers to The Brian Setzer Orchestra experience for the first time. "It's a different dimension, especially live. Besides, they ain't bad to look at after seeing us slobs for an hour and a half." As a result, the band's tour was titled the "Here I Go Again Draggin' 16 Guys (And A Couple Chicks) Around The World Tour."
What is nearly as unlikely as the success of The Brian Setzer Orchestra is that no one has jumped on the bandwagon. The reason, suggests Setzer, is simple: "This isn't like punk rock, where anyone could pick up a guitar and play loud. The level of musicianship required is pretty high." Another reason may be that no one else has had the musical guts as well as chops.
"What made it happen is that we're original," Setzer says. "This is American music. It's ingrained in us, but we took it in a new direction. This is a whole different beast than a '40s Big Band. The only similarity is the instrument lineup. But our foundation is the rhythm section and the way I play guitar. I like what I like: guitars, hot rods and rock 'n' roll. "VaVoom" sums up what this band is – bigger than life. The word means excitement, from the sound of a car starting up, to the sound you make when you see a beautiful chick."
Some say his greatest feat has been to resurrect a musical genre and make it "cool" again, as he earlier did with rockabilly. Setzer, smiling, has a different idea. "I've received letters thanking me for making being a trombone player in the high school band hip. Now that's an accomplishment."
