  Gov. Bd. Minutes 9-7-04   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Kapp noted that this was discussed at length at the retreat and that he was open for questions or comments.
Kapp stated that he felt that was a good point and noted that he had recently met with Abbie Roses and Mary Jo Kirk to analyze the budget.
Kapp noted that part of that over expenditure was from promoting programs such as the preschools and Kids and Co. that don’t have any kind of budget for marketing and that they would not be able to help them in the future.

Kapp looked at some other cars, but none of them met his standards, at least not until he spotted a ’63 Thunderbird.
Even though Kapp’s Thunderbird is more than three decades old, it came complete with most of the creature features found on today’s automobiles, including power windows, power steering and factory air conditioning.
Instead, Kapp will be behind the wheel of his 1974 Grand Torino Elite, which he purchased from his aunt and has under 16,000 miles on its odometer.

One of Kapp's detractors offered a stern rebuttal in the Pacific Bell Park press box this year, citing Kapp's dubious record as a coach at Cal and even his sub-.500 record as the Bears' quarterback.
I saw Kapp recently at a reunion for Pete Newell's great basketball teams of the late 1950s (Kapp was an invaluable bruiser on the '57 and '58 squads), and I immediately thought of the late, great tennis legend, Pancho Gonzalez.
Kapp was the man, from Salinas, who led the Pacific Coast Conference in rushing while quarterbacking the Cal Bears into the Rose Bowl.

 NORVO, Red : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
He studied piano as a child; went to Chicago at 17 and soon led a marimba band; later had solo vaudeville act including tap-dancing; led a band '29, became a staff musician at NBC with Victor Young, then Paul Whiteman, met Mildred Bailey: they were married and went to NYC with Whiteman.
Dave Kapp at Brunswick Records tore up Norvo's contract when he heard it; it is said to be only thanks to the producer Morty Palitz that the recording wasn't destroyed, and to John Hammond that it was actually issued the following year; and Norvo allegedly destroyed a stack of compositions in despair or anger.
Then Kapp must have forgiven or forgotten; Norvo went to the new Decca label '36 where Kapp was the boss, leading an octet ironically including Eddie Sauter, becoming one of the more adventurous arrangers in the business, tracks like 'Gramercy Square' providing better than average listening.

Kapp's brother, Jack, was president of Decca Records, a newly established company that employed such successful artists as Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, Connee Boswell, the Mills Brothers, and newcomer Judy Garland.
But he told us that Dave Kapp had been at a Tommy Dorsey opening at the Hotel Commodore, and over a radio in a taxi on the way home he heard us singing on the broadcast from the Edison, and he wanted to sign us to Decca.
While he was pleased with the melody, Kapp informed the girls that the song could not be released in its current Yiddish form, fearing that the disc would be labeled an ethnic record and would therefore have limited appeal to the public.

Also at dinner was Dave Kapp who owned the poppy KAPP label whose roster included the likes of Johnny Cymbal.
Kapp released two sides,#190, "Do It Right Now"/"I Waited For You To Remember", but sales were so poor that he did not release the second, which would have been 'Somali Dolly"/"I'm Seeing Things (I Couldn't See)".
The four tracks were the weakest to date and even Elvis tunesmiths Aaron Scroeder and Ben Weisman couldn't up the standard with their awful composition Somali Doll, which was a forerunner for an Elvis '60s movie song.
