     "Uncle Ozzie" released (2) more CD's and cassettes in 2003; "Christmas Memories" and

     "Uncle Ozzie" unveiled his first 2003 CD, "FOR THEM, I'LL PLAY SOME MORE" at the celebration of his 40th anniversary in the music business. To celebrate, "Uncle Ozzie" who is from Portage, WI, played at the Riverview Ballroom in Sauk City, WI, on January 19th, 2003, from 1:00p.m. - 6:00p.m.
      Included on this new CD are (4) original songs, written by "Uncle Ozzie".
     The public was invited to come and help Ozzie celebrate and visit with some of the former "Uncle Ozzie" Band members.   Nearly 300 people were in attendance, having a wonderful time; dancing, listening, and reminiscing. "Uncle Ozzie" was speechless to see such a fabulous and loyal group of fans.     Channel 15, NBC, was also there, taping parts of the day for the 10 o'clock news segment, which added to the festivities of the day.   If you were unable to come, you can visit "Uncle Ozzie's" website at www.uncleozzie.com and be sure to sign the guest book.
         "Uncle Ozzie" was actually celebrating 50 years of playing good old time music, but on January 19th, 2003, he celebrated his 40th anniversary as "Uncle Ozzie".   Previous to performing as "Uncle Ozzie", he played for 10 years with his parent's band, "Cliff Banks And His Sunset Ramblers". "Uncle Ozzie" has hired and worked with many talented musicians throughout his 40 years.   A very special privilege was hiring the famous "Cousin Fuzzy" to work with the "Uncle Ozzie" Band for 13 years before his death.   "Uncle Ozzie" had his own television and radio show, back in the early days of his musical career.
        Old Time Music is in "Uncle" Ozzie's blood.   One of his favorite motto's is: "STAY YOUNG AND GO DANCING"!!!   He plays a wide variety of music such as: polkas, waltzes, fox trots, schottisches, swing, jitterbug, etc.   His music makes you feel like dancing and if you're not up to dancing, you will want to clap your hands, tap your feet, and sing along to the music. "Uncle Ozzie's" jokes and antics on stage provide people who like to just sit and listen, with a show that keeps them amused and laughing.
       "Uncle Ozzies's" current endeavor is "Uncle Ozzie's Memory Sounds" music show. Ozzie sings and plays on stage, using ten different instruments to perform, depending on the song. "Uncle Ozzie's", wife Shirley, runs the all important sound board.   Shirley controls the tracks that are on the mini discs, which were recorded by "Uncle Ozzie's" former players and friends, in Ozzie's recording studio, at their home.     Hundreds of hours have been spent having the musicians come and record the music from Ozzie's own library, to recreate the original sounds of "Uncle Ozzie".
       Assisting "Uncle Ozzie" is Janet Twist of Jefferson.   Janet takes admission and sells: CD's, hats, towels, shirts, jackets, etc.   Janet also assists behind the scenes with computer, booking, newspaper and telephone work.   Also, behind the scenes is Ozzie's cousin, Rusty from Stevens Point, who created and maintains his website, www.uncleozzie.com.   Through their combined efforts, Uncle Ozzie, Shirley, Janet and Rusty work very hard at giving you a fun filled and enjoyable time of dancing and musical listening pleasure.
