A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR OLDER ADULTSprime times

by Jennifer Grotpeter Swing music saw its heyday in the

1930s, through the end of World WarII. As the 20th century rolled intothe 21st, swing enjoyed a revival as

eeting as it was energetic.Whether dancers did the Lindy

Hop at a USO show in 1942, or atthe now-shuttered Velvet nightclubin the 1990s, the syncopated rhythmof swing has kept generations of toestapping.

Today a quartet of local women,the Queens of Swing, tour the St.Louis area mixing their talent andlifelong love of music with a dash ofwell-researched history.

by Linda Briggs HartyIn an era stressing youth, one

Kirkwood High graduate, Class of1953, can’t help but gain notice.

A 2015 recipient of the St. Andrew’sResources for Seniors Ageless-Remarkable Saint Louisan award,Glendale resident Sally Le er has theverve of a young woman, mixed withthe con dence of an experienced adult.

The combination makes for one

impressive, older, individual.Known as a leader in several elds

over the course of her career, Le erlit the way especially for women, oldand young, while serving in executivepositions, locally and nationally, at the

YWCA and the Girl Scouts USA.Most notably, Le er helped lower

racial divides in segregated St. Louis,rst by setting up outreach programs

as executive director of the Carondelet YWCA and then, when servingnationally, by stressing the arts incommunity as a Rockefeller/FordFoundations selectee.

The Lindenwood College pre-lawgraduate also trained to be a foreigndiplomat at the State Department inWashington, D.C., taught college prepcourses at prestigious Fairfax Hall in

Virginia, earned distinction as a topsales/merchandising/buyer’s associatein women’s fashion at the old Famous-Barr Company, sold real estate on St.Simon’s Island, acted as an executivesearch professional and managementconsultant, having pursued graduatestudies in systems analysis, to namesome key roles Le er played during

her long career.“Looking back, I was privileged to

be part of organizations helping peopleachieve their potential,” Le er said inan interview over coffee. “I wanted toshatter the glass ceiling in place forwomen, which still is there in manyways today.”

Coming into her own in the days just

before Martin Luther King Jr., madehis mark, Le er used a love of the artsand music, as well as government,history and social sciences to makeher own mark as a non-pro t and

corporate leader.Interestingly, Le er shares the

remarkable senior stage with her“sister” and Glendale roommateJane Towater, whom St. Andrew’sResources honored in 2014. Towateralso worked in national leadershipat the YWCA, with a similar bentfor racial justice. The old friend thatLe er calls sister earned a top award,in fact, for her work along those lines.

Le er credits her mother, wholived in Richmond Heights, her SanFrancisco-based grandmother and hergrandfather, also based in RichmondHeights, for inspiring her versatilepath.

“My mother was avant garde: a realfashionista and mentor of youth. Shevalued education above all. She didn’t

nish college but later in life blazedtrails by working on early computersystems for Southwestern Bell,” Le ersaid.

Le er’s grandfather embarked uponvaried careers like his granddaughterwould come to do. Over the years,he was a reporter at the old St.Louis Globe-Democrat, an inventor,toymaker and a commercial real estatedeveloper.

Le er adopted an international airearly on, aided by membership in theWorld Affairs Council as a KirkwoodHigh student and introduction

tickles the ivories, South County resident Mary Ann Schulte keeps the rhythm on bass guitar, whileSydell Pollack and Mary Weber, both of University

City, play drums and trumpet, respectively. Thisall-woman band reminds their audiences of a timewhen all the men went off to war.

During World War II, women stepped into manyroles previously lled by men, lling voids left inthe workforce and entertainment world.

“The women were working in the factories,playing professional baseball and making music,”said Schulte. “There were all-girl bands that touredthe whole country.”

The Queens of Swing do more than keep themusical integrity of the 1940s-era girl groups.They include a narrative that highlights thehistory of the genre and the stories of female swingmusicians, including famed drummer Viola Smith.Smith played drums professionally during theswing era and beyond; at 103 years old she is still

an endorser for Zildjian cymbals.While music pioneer Smith started her career as

a young woman in a band made up of her sistersthat was together by her father, The Queens ofSwing had lengthy individual musical careersbefore they came together.

Trumpeter Mary Weber has played with severalsymphonies, including the St. Louis Symphony, andperformed with diverse musicians from LucianoPavarotti to The Temptations. In addition to herQueens of Swing schedule, she plays and recordswith The Clarion Brass.

She also uses her talent and experience tobene t young musicians in the Kirkwood andWebster Groves school districts, where she teachesprivate trumpet lessons.

“Mary, who plays trumpet, plays with ClarionBrass; I went to the Sheldon and heard her playthere,” said Treacy. “I talked to her after the

concert, and she has been playing with us for ayear-and-a-half now. She plays everything and doeseverything!”

Sydell Pollack has been a drummer sincechildhood, but her college degree is in painting.She sees a connection between the two art forms.

“When we play, we are communicating with theaudience,” Pollack said. “A painting can take yearsto create in a studio, but music is immediate.

“A drum beat can affect others, and whenyou perform, you want them to dance. I see theaudience singing, dancing, clapping and I know wehave succeeded; that’s what it’s all about.”

“People love watching Sydell,” added Schulte.“She’s so colorful!”

Mary Ann Schulte has been a musician for muchof her life, and even met her husband when they

played together with The St. Louis Stompers.“He plays tuba,” Schulte said. “My main

instrument is piano, which is how Pat and I kneweach other. She called me about the Queens ofSwing, but the last time I played bass guitar was inhigh school!”

“Mary Ann is well-known locally, so when I hadthe idea for an all-girl band, I called her,” explainedTreacy. “We do piano duets, too, and she also playsthe accordion.”

Treacy started playing classical piano when shewas 5 years old, and took up jazz in high school.

After marriage and motherhood, she temporarilybowed out of public performances, but continued toplay at home. She enjoys playing with the Queens,but the history also appeals to her.

“I’m a history buff, and this is an extension ofthat – researching the history and tting it into themusic,” she said.

The Queens of Swing are keeping busy with gigsall around the area.

“We had 32 gigs last year – so we celebrate asuccessful season,” said Treacy. “We have great fun

and that is transmitted to our audience.”Their gigs include Orchard House in Webster

Groves, Aberdeen Heights in Kirkwood; churchgroups, historical societies, Cape Albeon in ValleyPark, and even the Sisters at Mother of PerpetualHelp on Watson.

“What’s good about the Queens of Swing is thatwe all have areas we are good in. Between us, wecombine and get a good product,” explained Pollack.

“We are a sisterhood,” said Treacy. “We enjoyeach other’s company and enjoy playing together.We have never had a bomb; a year-and-a-halftogether and never bombed!”
